Drought TH F CITY 0' )j. k (:a A p 50,¢a\ la COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN Drought, though a potential problem in the City, is not fully assessed. The City will work with ABAG and various water supply agencies on this issue. The City plans to work with ABAG to develop specific information about the kind and level of damage to buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities which might result from any of the hazards previously noted. The ABAG Annex states that ABAG will be doing this work in 2005 through early 2006. As these impacts are not fully developed, the City and School District have reviewed the hazards identified and ranked the hazards based on past disasters and expected future impacts. The conclusion is that earthquakes (particularly shaking), hazardous material spill, flooding, wildfire, and landslides (including unstable earth) pose a significant risk for potential loss in the City of Pleasanton. Earthquakes (particularly shaking and earthquake liquefaction), the wildland -urban interface fire threat, hazardous material spills and dam inundation pose a significant risk to Pleasanton Unified School District. In addition, 5 schools are in the 500 year flood plain with none in the 100 year flood plain. Mitigation Priorities As a participant in the ABAG multi jurisdictional planning process, City of Pleasanton staff helped in the development and review of the comprehensive list of mitigation strategies in the overall multi jurisdictional plan. The list was discussed at the meetings discussed above on February 14 and March 22 2005. At the meeting, all of the mitigation strategies were reviewed. The tentative decision on priority was made based on a variety of criteria, not simply on an economic cost benefit analysis. These criteria include being technically and administratively feasible, politically acceptable, socially appropriate, legal, economically sound, and not harmful to the environment or our heritage. Over time, we are committed to developing better hazard and risk information to use in making those trade -offs. We are not trying to create a disaster -proof region, but a disaster resistant one. In addition, several of the strategies are existing City programs. Pleasanton Unified School District also helped in the development and review of mitigation strategies. They discussed the priorities in the group meetings on February 23 and March 22, 2005 as well as in follow -up meetings, calls and emails with Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department. All school buildings have been either constructed or modemized between 1991 to the present, with the majority being modernized or built in the last five years. Two schools are currently under construction, and the district office (a wood frame building) was modernized in 1987. Donlon School is the only school still being retrofitted. All school facilities are in full compliance with the Department of the State Architect. These draft priorities were submitted to the Fire Chief for review and approval. (The Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department is the agency which is charged with disaster preparedness in the City of Pleasanton.) After FEMA approves the multi jurisdictional plan, Pleasanton will place on the City's website the mitigation plan for further public input ANNEX G Local Hazard Mitigation Annex 9 Updated 11/12105
