THE CITY OF <br /> , <br /> 111 H 2121 ;11, <br /> pLEASANTONC <br /> National Flood Insurance Program <br /> The City of Pleasanton has participated in the National Flood Insurance Program since 1980. The <br /> city also participates in the Community Rating System and is currently class 8. As a participant, <br /> residents and businesses receive a 10% discount for flood insurance. In exchange, the City has <br /> agreed to implement and enforce floodplain regulations, which would limit future flood damage <br /> losses. In 1989 the City adopted Chapter 17.08 "Flood Damage Prevention" as part of its <br /> Municipal Code. <br /> The City of Pleasanton first joined the NFIP emergency phase on May 5, 1971 and joined the <br /> regular phase of the program on December 16, 1980. <br /> To comply with NFIP, the City of Pleasanton participates in Community Rating Services (CRS) <br /> program. For the effective implementation of the program, the City keeps proper documentation <br /> of all community outreach, updates the City's ordinances for flood protection, informs the <br /> residents and other agencies in the business of real estate regarding the services that the City <br /> provides to assist in the prevention of flood damage. There have been no issues in participating <br /> in this program. <br /> Apart from the FEMA map, the City uses the Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) for flood zone <br /> determination. Also, the City uses the average final grade in filled areas for flood hazard area <br /> determination. <br /> The annual re-certification for the CRS rating is the major part of the NFIP program. To <br /> participate in CRS certification, the City needs to keep updating the latest requirements from <br /> FEMA. <br /> According to FEMA, there is only one repetitive loss property in the City of Pleasanton. Even <br /> though, the City has no record of this damage. And the property owner is informed about the <br /> City's participation in NFIP program and other related information. <br /> Mitigation Goals <br /> The goal of the ABAG MJ-LHMP is to maintain and enhance a disaster-resistant region by <br /> reducing the potential for loss of life, property damage, and environmental degradation from <br /> natural disasters, while accelerating economic recovery from those disasters. This goal is <br /> unchanged from the 2005 plan and continues to be the goal of Alameda County and the City of <br /> Pleasanton in designing its mitigation program. <br /> 2010 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex 12 September 1, 2011 <br /> City of Pleasanton <br />
