The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m. DATE: September 13, 2004 TO: Members of the Planning Commission and Public Safety Commission FROM: Grant Taylor, Director of Development Services Gail L. Black, Personnel Officer Steve Stewart, Emergency Operations Coordinator SUB7ECT: Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan PURPOSE For the Planning Commission and the Public Safety Commission to review, comment and approve the Federal Mandated Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP). In addition, for the Commission members to recommend that the City Council adopt the document and direct staff to forward to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). BACKGROUND FEMA has a long history of disaster funding and relief. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA) requires local government agencies to develop a document for mitigation planning in both pre and post-disaster situations and emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur. ' DMA 2000 requires the development of a NHMP to be eligible for federal funding and that such NHMP shall be submitted no later than November 1, 2004. Failure to comply will result in the loss of pre and post-disaster federal funding. On March 11, 2004 the Lynwood City Council approved funding for a consultant to assist the City with development of the NHMP. Carolyn Harshman of Emergency Planning . Consultants was hired, conducted workshops and prepared the plan with assistance from the NHMP team. Team members include: Grant Taylor, Development Services Craig Bragg, Building & Safety Gail Biack, Human Resources Bruno Naulls, Redevelopment Steve Stewart, Emergency Operations Jennifer Mizrahi, City Attomey Office Fernando Pedroza, City Council Donald Dove, Planning Commission � Joseph Wang, City Manager Lorna Hawkins, Public Safety Commission I.

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION The DMA 2000 Act encourages cooperation between state and local authorities, prompting them to work together. It rewards local and state pre-disaster planning and promotes disaster resistance as a key component of sustainable development The intended result is better articulation of local and state government mitigation needs, resulting in faster allocation of funding and more effective risk reduction programs. The Planning process requires: • Open Public Involvement • Community Cooperation • Incorporation of legal documents The NHMP must include the following: • Planning Process • Risk Assessment • Mitigation Strategy • Maintenance Process • Documentation • Plan Review The NHMP Committee members met on April 28, 2004 and again on June 9, 2004. The NHMP was a planning process that required considerable staff time and effort. A significant amount of time was required to hunt and gather information applicable to the NHMP. The Committee reviewed key aspects of developing the NHMP to include establishing goals, mitigation tools, types of hazards (i.e. earthquakes, floods, windstorms, wildfire, landslides, tsunami', etc.) and what hazards potentially may impact the City of Lynwood. The NHMP Committee concurred the most significant potential impacts to the � City of Lynwood would be earthquakes, floods and windstorms. Therefore, the ! document focuses on the three (3) primary potential hazards, available � resources, and mitigation measures. I � The attached NHMP provides a number of tables, maps, and photos and is comprised of three sections to include mitigation actions, hazard analysis and resources. I , H:\WORDF[LEIPI.ANNIYG�STAFFRI'Tncmo.M��.pc&psc.joimercmin�.dor Z RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission and Public Safety Commission open the public hearing, accept testimony, provide comments and revisions, provide conceptual approval and recommend that the City Council adopt the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan.
