Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />1.3.2.1 Population, Demographics and Physical Characteristics <br />The following information was retrieved from the U.S. Census Bureau and the 2018 Tri-Valley Local <br />Hazard Mitigation Plan. The hazard mitigation plan provides a complete community profile including <br />population, demographics, and physical characteristics. An abridged version is provided here for <br />the context of the DDMP. <br /> <br />City of Dublin <br />The City of Dublin occupies 14.91 square miles. The U.S. Census Bureau 2020 population estimate <br />for the City was approximately 72,589 people. According to the 2019 American Community Survey <br />45.2% of the population of the City speak a language other than English at home with 11% of that <br />percentage indicating they speak English less than very well. This means that public information <br />regarding set-out procedures and the safe handling of debris will need to be accessible in multiple <br />formats. <br /> <br />During disasters, populations with functional and access needs and socio-economic barriers often <br />have less access to resources and support. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately <br />9.1% of the population of the City, or about 6,606 people, are at or over the age of 65, and 4.0% of <br />the population is living below the poverty level. <br /> <br />Debris managers must be cognizant of how disaster debris can further impact individuals with <br />disabilities and access and functional needs. Section 3.3.7 of this plan provides a more detailed <br />description of best practices during debris operations to support this population. <br /> <br />City of Pleasanton <br />The City of Pleasanton occupies 24.11 square miles. The U.S. Census Bureau 2020 population <br />estimate for the City was approximately 79,871 people. According to the 2019 American Community <br />Survey 36.9% of the population of the City speak a language other than English at home. This <br />means that public information regarding set-out procedures and the safe handling of debris will need <br />to be accessible in multiple formats. <br /> <br />During disasters, populations with functional and access needs and socio-economic barriers often <br />have less access to resources and support. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately <br />14.7% of the population of the City, or about 11,742 people, are at or over the age of 65, and 4.3% <br />of the population is living below the poverty level. <br /> <br />Debris managers must be cognizant of how disaster debris can further impact individuals with <br />disabilities and access and functional needs. Section 3.3.7 of this plan provides a more detailed <br />description of best practices during debris operations to support this population. <br /> <br />1.3.2.2 Debris Management Constraints <br />There are a number of challenges the Cities could encounter during debris management. This plan <br />aims to provide the best management practices to address these challenges which include: <br />• Lack of local jurisdictional resources <br />• Multiple municipalities in the region using limited resources for: <br />- Debris hauler services <br />- Disposal facilities
