Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan;Volume 2—Planning Partner Annexes • Property Protection—Modification of buildings or structures to protect them from a hazard or removal of structures from a hazard area. Includes acquisition,elevation,relocation,structural retrofit,storm shutters,and shatter-resistant glass. • Public Education and Awareness—Actions to inform citizens and elected officials about hazards and ways to mitigate them. Includes outreach projects,real estate disclosure,hazard information centers,and school-age and adult education. • Natural Resource Protection—Actions that minimize hazard loss and preserve or restore the functions of natural systems. Includes sediment and erosion control,stream corridor restoration,watershed management,forest and vegetation management,and wetland restoration and preservation. • Emergency Services—Actions that protect people and property during and immediately after a hazard event. Includes warning systems,emergency response services,and the protection of essential facilities. • Structural Projects—Actions that involve the construction of structures to reduce the impact of a hazard. Includes dams, setback levees, floodwalls,retaining walls,and safe rooms. • Climate Resilient—Actions that incorporate methods to mitigate and/or adapt to the impacts of climate change. Includes aquifer storage and recovery activities,incorporating future-conditions projections in project design or planning,or actions that specifically address jurisdiction-specific climate change risks, such as sea level rise or urban heat island effect. • Community Capacity Building—Actions that increase or enhance local capabilities to adjust to potential damage,to take advantage of opportunities,or to respond to consequences. Includes staff training,memorandums of understanding,development of plans and studies,and monitoring programs. These categories include categories identified in the Community Rating System(CRS)2017 CRS Coordinators Manual(OMB No. 1660-0022,Figure 510-4).The CRS categories expand on the four categories in FEMA's 2013 Local Mitigation Handbook. They provide a more comprehensive range of options,thus increasing integration opportunities.The use of CRS guidance enhances the CRS credit potential for this plan,for the benefit of planning partners who participate in the CRS program. In addition to the CRS categories,two other categories were included in the analysis.The climate resilient category was added to facilitate the incorporation of climate adaptation planning into hazard mitigation plans in accordance with California Senate Bill 379(see Section 4.8.2 in Volume 1 of this plan). Community capacity building was added to clearly identify opportunities for expanding on existing capabilities. COMPATIBILITY WITH PREVIOUS APPROVED PLANS Of the six initially identified potential planning partners, four were covered by the FEMA-approved 2010 Association of Bay Area Governments hazard mitigation planning effort.Table 1 lists all the initial partners,the role this multi jurisdictional plan will play in achieving compliance, and CRS status. FINAL COVERAGE UNDER THE PLAN Of the six planning partners that submitted letters of intent to participate,four fully met the participation requirements specified by the Steering Committee.The principal requirement not met by the other partners was completion of the jurisdictional annex template. Only the four partners that submitted completed templates are included in this volume and will seek DMA compliance under this plan.The remaining jurisdictions will need to follow the linkage procedures described in Appendix B of this volume in order to achieve DMA compliance. Table 2 lists the jurisdictions that submitted letters of intent and their ultimate status in this plan. XII TETRA TECH
