<br />COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
<br />
<br />The Planning Process and Mitigation Activities
<br />
<br />The City of Pleasanton last updated the Safety Element to its General Plan in 1996, which
<br />includes a discussion of earthquake, fire, flood, hazardous materials, and aviation
<br />hazards. In 2002, Pleasanton created a hazard assessment as part of its new Emergency
<br />Management Plan.
<br />
<br />In October 2003, a telephone survey was conducted for several key businesses in
<br />Pleasanton such as: large employers, companies with hazardous materials, event
<br />facilities, top sales producers, etc. The survey listed questions on building safety, the
<br />number of employees per facility, access centrol, food service, personnel safety, critical
<br />infrastructure, fire prevention, replacement values, and hazardous materials. The data
<br />from these surveys along with the following information was used to update Pleasanton's
<br />All Hazard Vulnerability Analysis in February, 2004: the Safety Element of Pleasanton's
<br />General Plan, ABAG's hazard assessment data, USGS, FEMA's flood maps, CalTrans
<br />Seismic Hazard maps, University of California at Berkeley, California State Geological
<br />Survey, California Department of Forestry, California Department of Water Resources,
<br />California Highway Patrol, Zone 7 Water, and Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department
<br />Hazardous Materials Area Plan, Pleasanton GIS, etc.
<br />
<br />Many of the activities conducted by the City as well as Pleasanton's All Hazard
<br />Vulnerability Analysis (February 2004) were fed into the planning process for the multi-
<br />jurisdictional plan. The City participated in various ABAG workshops and meetings,
<br />including the general kick-off meeting and ABAG's Pacific Security conference, etc. In
<br />addition, the City has provided written and oral cemments on the multi-jurisdictional plan.
<br />Finally, Pleasanton provided detailed information on facilities that are viewed as "critical" to
<br />ABAG.
<br />
<br />Key City staff met on several occasions to identify and prioritize the mitigation strategies
<br />appropriate for the City. Staff involved in a meeting on February 14, 2005 included Chief
<br />Building Official, EMS Manager from Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD), Fire
<br />Marshall from LPFD, Disaster Preparedness Coordinator from LPFD, Planning Director,
<br />two Principal Planners, and a Police Captain. The following representatives also attended
<br />from Livermore: Building Official, Police Captain, Public Services Director, and the Public
<br />Services Manager. The Assistant Director of Public Works from Pleasanton was not able
<br />to attend, but discussed with LPFD's Disaster Preparedness Coordinator separately about
<br />the mitigation strategies.
<br />
<br />Since the school districts and local hospitals were not able to attend the February 14'"
<br />meeting, LPFD met separately with Pleasanton Unified School District and Valley Care
<br />Hospital on the mitigation priorities on February 23"'.
<br />
<br />Another meeting was conducted on March 22"" with two Principle Planners, Plan Checker,
<br />Assistant Director of Public Works, and LPFD. Additional agencies that attended included
<br />Livermore Public Services Manager; Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District,
<br />Pleasanton Unified School District, and Zone 7 Water. Las Positas College and CalWater,
<br />a private company, were also invited, but did not attend. LPFD met with Valley Care
<br />Hospital on March 23"' to obtain several of the health mitigation priorities.
