Ingram, City Manager FROM:Steve Myrter, P.E. , Director of Public Works SUBJECT:Professional Services Agreement with Steven Andrews Engineering for Engineering Services for the Bolsa Chica Water Supply Well Improvements ________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council adopt Resolution 6919 awarding and authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement to Steven Andrews Engineering to provide engineering services for the Bolsa Chica Water Supply Well Improvements for a not-to-exceed agreement amount of $42,840. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: At the fiscal year 2018-2019 Capital Improvement Project Budget presentation in June 2018, staff presented the need and proposed scope of work to refurbish the Bolsa Chica Water Supply Well (BC Well). Staff requested Steven Andrews Engineering (SAE) to submit a proposal to provide engineering services for the subject project. SAE has over 45 years of experience with design and operations of domestic water supply wells throughout Orange County including various local water districts and agencies. Steve Andrews, owner of SAE, will serve as the Principal Engineer to the project and will be utilizing a team of senior engineering staff with over 20 years of experience specific to water supply well design to complete the requested work. It is this extensive experience specific to the design and operations of water supply wells coupled with SAE’s knowledge and familiarity of working with public water systems throughout Orange County that staff believes make SAE well qualified to perform the preliminary engineering work for the BC Well. The initial preliminary engineering phase SAE will provide civil, mechanical, structural and electrical engineering analysis for the BC Well site. The primary goal of this initial engineering phase is to prepare preliminary scoping investigations and preliminary designs for the various work elements listed below. This preliminary analysis will enable the staff to create a more precise project work scope and thus a more precise estimate of project cost prior to initiating the final 5 0 9 detail engineering/design phase. This approach also provides the flexibility to enable staff to perform some of the BC Well system(s) replacement work with in- house staff and/or utilize pre-purchase contracts. BC Well systems to be evaluated: • Electric Toshiba Drive • Electric Motor • Diesel Backup Generator • Magnetic Flow Meter • Chlorine Injection line • Chart Recorders for Flow, Pressure and Chlorine residual. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact related to this item. LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney has approved the professional services agreement and proposed resolution as to form. FINANCIAL IMPACT: A total of $100,000 has been allocated in the FY 2018-2019 CIP Budget, identified as the Bolsa Chica Water Well Rehabilitation Project, CIP WT1603, to fund the preliminary engineering phase of this Project. Staff requested that SAE submit a proposal to provide engineering services to include preliminary engineering analysis and design for the various BC Well systems. SAE submitted a proposal to provide these engineering design services for a not-to-exceed agreement amount of $42,840. STRATEGIC PLAN: This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution 6919 awarding and authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Steven Andrews Engineering to provide these engineering design services for a not-to-exceed agreement amount of $42,840. 5 0 9 SUBMITTED BY: NOTED AND APPROVED: Steve Myrter Jill R.

Ingram, City Manager FROM:Steve Fowler, Interim Community Development Director SUBJECT:Housing Element Annual Progress Report ________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council receive and file the Housing Element Annual Progress Report for 2018. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: In October 2013, the City Council adopted the 2013-2021 Housing Element, one of the seven mandated elements in the City’s General Plan. Previously, state law recommended annual reporting, but recently changed this to require cities to submit an Annual Housing Element Progress Report (APR) to show progress on the General Plan Housing Element every year. This report provides an update on the housing unit production and housing program implementation from January 1 through December 31, 2018. The 2018 Annual Housing Element Progress Report is attached for City Council review. After review by the City Council, the attached report will be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as required by Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. During 2018, the City had two new Single-Family Residences constructed. They were both tear down and rebuilds, so they do not count towards the requirement of 2 additional low income housing units to meet the Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) requirement that the City is required to meet during the length of the current Housing Element.

City of Seal Beach 2018 Annual Housing Element Progress Report Agenda Item: F AGENDA STAFF REPORT DATE:May 28, 2019 TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council THRU:Jill R. Ingram, City Manager FROM:Joe Miller, Chief of Police SUBJECT:Approval of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan ________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council adopt Resolution 6920 approving the City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: In 2015, the City of Seal Beach (COSB) submitted an application to the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), via the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) to fund the creation of a LHMP. The COSB received notification on December 24, 2015 that the subgrant application was approved in the amount of $72,930. The grant performance period was originally dated May 29, 2015 through October 30, 2018. The City Council approved the acceptance of this grant on April 25, 2016 through Resolution No. 6636. Technical consultant selection consisted of compiling a team of professional emergency managers within Orange County to review and evaluate vendor proposals. On March 12, 2018, the City Council adopted a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with PlaceWorks to coordinate, facilitate and prepare a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The project was assigned Project No. BG1701ex-001. In April 2018, a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee was formed and all committee and public meeting dates and locations were set. There were four committee meetings between May and July 2018. There were four public meetings in May, June, August, and September 2018. A project website was created with a link for a public survey. Two press releases were published in 2018 with information about the LHMP, website, survey and public meetings. On July 16, 2018, a letter was sent to Cal OES requesting an extension of the project completion date by one year to accommodate the submission and approval process necessary for final approval and adoption of the plan. On 5 1 1 September 27, 2018, the grant award amendment letter was sent to Cal OES amending the project completion date to October 30, 2019. The administrative draft plan was completed by PlaceWorks on September 17, 2018 and submitted for review by the committee. On October 10, 2018, the plan was returned to PlaceWorks with comments and revisions from the committee. There was a 30-day public review period from October 23, 2018 to November 26, 2018. During that time, one comment was received and reviewed. The final draft plan was developed and completed, and submitted to Cal OES/FEMA for review on December 12, 2018. On February 27, 2019, FEMA sent a letter stating that they had completed a review of the LHMP and had determined the plan was eligible for final approval pending its adoption by the City Council. Following approval by the City Council, formal adoption documentation will be submitted to the FEMA Region IX office. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact related to this item. LEGAL ANALYSIS: No legal analysis is required for this item. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Contract Professional EOC account (001-021-44000) has been used to hold funds in order to facilitate funding of the project. This is a fully funded initiative paid for by a FEMA grant. It is fully reimbursable and cost neutral. The only outlay has been in the form of “in-kind” labor costs in the amount of $24,310 as part of the grant award obligation. This “in-kind” matching was in the form of employee salary time. To date, the “in-kind” labor costs have exceeded $33,000. The contract vendor has been paid on a monthly basis out of Account 001-021-44000. Paid invoices have been submitted monthly to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) for reimbursement. As reimbursement is received from Cal OES, it is reimbursed into Account 001-021-30980. To date, PlaceWorks has been paid $54,334.50 (with an expected total of $71,980); Cal OES has reimbursed a total of $63,819. The remaining reimbursement has been requested with Cal OES, expected to be received in the second half of 2019 or first half of 2020.

Consists of a warm phase (El Niño), a neutral phase, and a cool phase (La Niña). Epicenter: The point on the surface of the ground below which an earthquake begins. Fault line: A boundary between sections of the earth’s surface. Fault rupture: An event in which sections of the earth’s surface suddenly move past each other along part or all the length of a fault. The sudden movement generates the shaking that we perceive as an earthquake. Flash flood: A dangerous type of flood that occurs very quickly, with little warning. Usually a result of sudden, intense precipitation. Flood plain: The area that may be affected by a flood, usually named by the type of flood that can occur there (e.g. a 100-year flood plain). Katabatic wind: A hot dry wind, caused when areas of high pressure occur over an area of high elevation, and lower pressure zones form over lower elevations. As the wind descends, it heats up, becomes drier, and can increase in speed. Liquefaction: A phenomenon in which loose, wet soil is suddenly shaken, causing the soil to behave more like a fluid and lose its stability. Often caused by earthquakes. Meteotsunami: A rare form of a tsunami, caused by a sudden and large shift in atmospheric pressure. Microburst: A downburst that affects a small area, although the wind speeds are not necessarily less intense than a full-scale downburst. Modified Mercalli Intensity scale: A way of measuring the intensity of an earthquake based on the damage it causes at a specific location. As a result, an earthquake will register a different rating on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale in different places. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 vii Moment Magnitude Scale: A way of measuring the intensity of an earthquake based on the amount of energy released by the fault rupture. A replacement for the Richter Scale. Ponding: A type of flooding caused when water collects in a low-lying area. Radiation: The transmission of energy through waves or particles. For the purposes of this plan, refers to ionizing radiation, which can damage or kill the cells of living beings, potentially causing serious health problems or death. Radioactive: Referring to a material that naturally decays at an atomic level, releasing radiation. Rupture: See “Fault rupture.” Santa Ana winds: A type of katabatic wind that affects the coastal areas of southern California. They are commonly known for fanning wildfires. Sea level rise: A global increase in the level of the ocean, driven by melting land ice and increases in water temperature as a result of climate change. Snowpack: Snowfall that accumulates in cold mountain areas and remains frozen for a long period of time. In California, snowpack in the Sierra Nevada provides a large amount of water to the state during the summer and early autumn months as it melts. State Water Project: An extensive system of aqueducts and pumps that conveys water from the northern Sierra Nevada to cities and agricultural lands throughout California, including the Los Angeles region. Subduction zone: A location where two tectonic plates come together, one moving underneath the other. Strong earthquakes in these regions are responsible for most major tsunamis. Tsunami: A fast-moving wave triggered by the rapid displacement of a large volume of water, often as a result of an earthquake. Tsunamis grow in size as they reach the shore, and can cause major damage along coastal areas.

City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-1 CHAPTER 1 1. INTRODUCTION PLAN PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY Hazard events can lead to injuries or death, affect overall health and safety, damage or destroy public and private property, harm ecosystems, and disrupt key services. Although the hazard event itself often gets the most attention, it is only one part of a larger emergency management cycle: · The Event (aka Disaster) · Response · Recovery · Mitigation · Preparedness Emergency planners and responders can take steps during the response, recovery, mitigation, and preparedness phases of the cycle to minimize the harm caused by a disaster. This Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP, or Plan) focuses on optimizing the mitigation phase of the cycle. Mitigation involves making a community more resilient to disasters so that when hazards do ultimately occur, the community suffers less damage and is able to recover more effectively. It differs from preparedness, which is planning in advance for how best to respond when a disaster occurs or is imminent. For example, a policy to make homes structurally stronger so they suffer less damage during an earthquake is a mitigation action, and fully equipping shelters to accommodate people who lose their homes in an earthquake is a preparedness action. Some activities may qualify as both. Seal Beach, like all other communities, could potentially suffer severe harm from hazard events, and although large disasters may cause widespread devastation, even smaller disasters can have substantial effects. Seal Beach cannot make itself completely immune to hazard events, but this Plan can help make the community a safer place to live, work, and visit. This Plan provides a comprehensive assessment of the threats that Seal Beach faces from natural and man-made hazard events and a coordinated strategy to reduce these threats. It identifies resources and information that can help community members, City staff, and local officials understand local threats and make informed decisions. The LHMP can also support increased coordination and collaboration between the City, other public agencies, local employers, service providers, community members, and other key stakeholders. KEY TERMS Hazard: A natural or human-caused event that has the potential to cause damage. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-2 FEDERAL AUTHORITY Seal Beach is not required to prepare an LHMP, but state and federal regulations encourage it. The federal Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Act (Stafford Act), amended by the Disaster Management Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), creates a federal framework for local hazard mitigation planning. It states that jurisdictions that wish to be eligible for federal hazard mitigation grant funding must prepare a hazard mitigation plan that meets a certain set of guidelines and submit this plan to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for review and approval. These guidelines are outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 44, Part 201, and discussed in greater detail in FEMA’s Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool. STATE AUTHORITY California Government Code Sections 8685.9 and 65302.6 California Government Code Section 8685.9, also known as Assembly Bill (AB) 2140, limits the State of California’s share of disaster relief funds paid out to local governments to 75 percent of the funds not paid for by federal disaster relief efforts, unless the jurisdiction has adopted a valid hazard mitigation plan consistent with DMA 2000 and has incorporated the hazard mitigation plan into the jurisdiction’s general plan. In these cases, the State may cover more than 75 percent of the remaining disaster relief costs. All cities and counties in California must prepare a general plan, which must include a safety element that addresses various hazard conditions and other public safety issues. The safety element may be a stand- alone chapter or incorporated into another section as the community wishes. California Government Code Section 65302.6 indicates that a community may adopt an LHMP into its safety element as long as the LHMP meets applicable state requirements. This allows communities to use the LHMP to satisfy state requirements for safety elements. As the general plan is an overarching long-term plan for community growth and development, incorporating the LHMP into it creates a stronger mechanism for implementing the LHMP. California Government Code Section 65302 (g)(4) California Government Code Section 65302 (g)(4), also known as Senate Bill (SB) 379, requires that the safety element of a community’s general plan address the hazards created or exacerbated by climate change. The safety element must identify how climate change is expected to affect hazard conditions in the community and must include measures to adapt and be more resilient to these anticipated changes. As the LHMP can be incorporated into the safety element, including these items in the LHMP can satisfy the state requirement. SB 379 requires climate change to be addressed in the safety element when the LHMP is updated after January 1, 2017 (for communities that already have an LHMP), or by January 1, 2022 (for communities without an LHMP). KEY TERMS Mitigation: Actions that increase resiliency and reduce the harmful effects of a hazard. Resilient: Better able to avoid or lessen the harmful effects of a hazard. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-3 This LHMP is consistent with current standards and regulations, as outlined by Cal OES and FEMA. It uses the best available science, and its mitigation strategies/actions reflect best practices and community values. It meets the requirements of current state and federal guidelines and makes Seal Beach eligible for all appropriate benefits under state and federal law and practices. Note that while FEMA is responsible for reviewing and certifying this LHMP, and Cal OES is responsible for conducting a preliminary review, this Plan does not grant FEMA or Cal OES any increased role in the governance of Seal Beach or authorize either agency to take any specific action in the community. PLAN ORGANIZATION AND USE The Seal Beach LHMP is both a reference document and an action plan. It has information and resources to educate readers and decision makers about hazard events and related issues, and a comprehensive strategy that the City and community members can follow to improve resiliency in Seal Beach. It is divided into the following chapters: · Chapter 1: Introduction. This chapter discusses the purpose and authority of the LHMP, its goals, how to use the Plan, and how it was developed. · Chapter 2: Community Profile. This chapter provides an overview of the history of Seal Beach, its demographics, the local economy, and its land uses and infrastructure. · Chapter 3: Hazard Assessment. This chapter summarizes the various hazard conditions in Seal Beach, their history, the risk of future occurrence, and any effects of climate change on their frequency and intensity. It also discusses how hazards were selected and prioritized for inclusion in this Plan. · Chapter 4: Threat Assessment. This chapter discusses the threat to community members, buildings, and infrastructure posed by individual hazard types. It also summarizes the methods and approach used to prepare the threat assessment. · Chapter 5: Hazard Mitigation Strategy. This chapter contains specific hazard mitigation actions to improve resiliency in Seal Beach and a discussion of how the mitigation actions were developed. · Chapter 6: Plan Maintenance: This chapter discusses how the Plan will be implemented and summarizes how Seal Beach can monitor and update the Plan in future years. FEMA’s Local Mitigation Planning Handbook, last updated in 2013, is one of the key guidance documents for local communities in preparing hazard mitigation plans. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-4 PLAN GOALS This Plan was developed to broadly increase resiliency in Seal Beach. There are five key goals for Seal Beach’s LHMP: · Reduce the threat to life, injury, and property damage for Seal Beach residents, employees, and visitors. · Keep critical services and government functions operational by protecting key infrastructure in Seal Beach. · Protect natural systems from current and future hazard conditions. · Coordinate mitigation activities among City departments and with neighboring jurisdictions. · Strengthen resiliency in Seal Beach through partnerships with community members, local businesses, and community organizations. PLANNING PROCESS State and federal guidance for local hazard mitigation plans do not require that jurisdictions follow a standardized planning process. FEMA encourages communities to create their own planning process that reflects local values, goals, and characteristics. FEMA does suggest a general planning framework that includes the following: Identify the planning and and the resources it contains Build the planning team Create an outreach team Identify the risks and threats to the community Review the community's capabilities Develop a hazard mitigation strategy Review and adopt the plan Implement the plan to create a safe and resilient community Keep the plan current City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-5 This section describes the process used by the City to develop its LHMP. HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING COMMITTEE The City established a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee. The Committee is made up of representatives from key City departments as well as key stakeholder members that include representatives from local and regional agencies. Additional stakeholder engagement during the process included one-on-one outreach to key groups, companies, and interested residents and businesses. These stakeholders are identified by asterisks (*). The City also informed other emergency managers from surrounding cities. These members make up the Committee: · Julia Clasby: Emergency Manager/Emergency Services Coordinator, Police Department (HMPC Leader) · Jill Ingram: City Manager · Michael Henderson: Administrative Sergeant, Police Department · Kasandra Bowden: Police Communications Director, West Cities Police Communications · Brian Gray: Corporal, Police Department (Emergency Operations Center) · David Spitz: Associate Engineer, Public Works · Crystal Landavazo: Interim Community Development Director, Community Development (Planning) · Steve Fowler: Assistant Planner, Community Development (Building and Safety) · Tim Kelsey: Recreation Manager, Community Services/Recreation · Vikki Beatley: Director, Finance · Patrick Gallegos: Assistant City Manager, City Manager’s Office · Joe Bailey: Chief, Marine Safety · Steve Myrter: Director, Public Works · Devon Shay: Business Manager, Hellman Properties · Nick Bolin: Officer, Marine Safety · Loree Erpelding: Volunteer Coordinator, City of Cypress Police Department · Esther Cummings: Volunteer, Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge* · Erik Franzen: Emergency Management Officer, United States Navy (Naval Weapons Station – Seal Beach)* · Gregg Smith: Public Affairs Officer, United States Navy (Naval Weapons Station – Seal Beach)* · Robert Acosta: Battalion Chief, Orange County Fire Authority* · James Henery: Battalion Chief, Orange County Fire Authority* · Jeff Hoey: Battalion Chief, Orange County Fire Authority* · Dave Spencer: Battalion Chief, Orange County Fire Authority* · Carl Schultz, MD: Associate Emergency Medical Services Medical Director, Orange County Fire Authority* City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-6 Invitations went out to the following agencies, organizations, or groups but they elected not to participate in the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan development process: · Boeing * · California Department of Fish and Game* · California Department of Transportation* · California Highway Patrol* · California Joint Powers Authority* · California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services* · City of Buena Park* · City of Garden Grove* · City of Huntington Beach * · City of La Palma* · City of Long Beach * · City of Los Alamitos* · City of Westminster* · D-Cor LLC.* · Golden State Water Company* · Joint Forces Training Base – Los Alamitos* · Leisure World / Golden Rain Foundation * · Los Alamitos Unified School District * · Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base * · Orange County Emergency Management Division* · Orange County Healthcare Agency* · Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center* · Orange County Sanitation District * · Orange County Sheriff’s Department* · Orange County Transit Authority* · Orange County Water District * · Rossmoor Community Services District * · Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce* · Sempre Utilities* · Southern California Edison * · Southern California Gas Company * · Surfside Colony* · US Army Corps of Engineers* · US Fish and Wildlife Service* City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-7 The Committee held four meetings throughout the plan development process to lay out the methods and approach for the Plan, draft and review content, make revisions, and engage members of the public. · Committee Meeting #1 (May 2, 2018): The Committee members confirmed the project goals and their purpose and responsibilities of the Committee. They revised the community engagement and outreach strategy, confirmed and prioritized the hazards to be included in the Plan, and identified critical facilities for the threat assessment. · Committee Meeting #2 (May 30, 2018): Members held a detailed discussion about the results of the hazards assessment and mapping that showed the areas facing an elevated risk. The Committee also reviewed the hazard prioritization results. · Committee Meeting #3 (June 27, 2018): The Committee reviewed the results of the risk assessment to identify the populations and assets that may face greater harm in the event of a hazard event. The Committee also discussed potential hazard mitigation actions to address vulnerabilities. · Committee Meeting #4 (July 25, 2018): The Committee reviewed the draft mitigation strategies/actions, made revisions, and assigned priorities. Invitations to Committee meetings, as well as meeting agendas/materials, were provided via email. Appendix A contains copies of invitations, meeting agendas, sign in sheets, and other relevant materials distributed for Committee meetings. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Under FEMA guidelines, the local hazard mitigation planning process should create opportunities for members of the public to be involved in plan development—at a minimum, during the initial drafting stage and during plan approval. The Committee chose to go beyond minimum standards and conduct more extensive community outreach to help ensure that the LHMP reflects community values, concerns, and priorities. The Committee developed a community engagement and outreach strategy to guide all public engagement activities. Appendix B contains a copy of the strategy. Public Meetings In-person public meetings were a central component of the City’s engagement efforts. These meetings provided an opportunity for members of the public to learn about the LHMP in depth—the plan development process, the hazards of concern, and assist with the development of potential mitigation strategies and actions. At these meetings, members of the public could speak directly to City staff and other stakeholders and provide detailed feedback. The City held four public meetings at different locations throughout the City providing the same content at each meeting. Notices of each meeting were widely distributed in advance in accordance with City notification requirements, the engagement strategy, legal requirements, and best practices. · Public Meeting #1 (May 30, 2018): This meeting was the kick-off for public engagement and was held at City Hall. Members of the public participated in a visioning activity in which they identified City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-8 which local hazards concerned them most. They also mapped out specific areas of the city where they believed potential hazards could emerge in the future. · Public Meeting #2 (June 27, 2018): This meeting was conducted at a Clubhouse in Leisure World (a retirement community in Seal Beach) and was heavily attended (approximately 40 residents). Members of the public participated in a visioning activity in which they identified which local hazards concerned them most. They also mapped out specific areas of the city where they believed potential hazards could emerge in the future. This meeting was discussed in Seal Beach’s local media: https://www.sunnews.org/sbpd-seeks-publics-input-on-hazard-mitigation-plan/. · Public Meeting #3 (August 22, 2018): This meeting was conducted at Fire Station 48 in Seal Beach, located in the northern portion of the City. Members of the public participated in a visioning activity in which they identified which local hazards concerned them most. They also mapped out specific areas of the city where they believed potential hazards could emerge in the future. · Public Meeting # 4 (September 5, 2018): This meeting was conducted at the Marina Community Center, located in the western portion of the City. Members of the public participated in a visioning activity in which they identified which local hazards concerned them most. They also mapped out specific areas of the city where they believed potential hazards could emerge in the future. Online Engagement The City recognized that not all community members are able to attend public meetings and conducted public engagement through social media and online platforms. The Committee set up a project website as a simple, one-stop location for community members to learn about the LHMP. The website included information about what an LHMP is and why the City prepared one. It had links to materials and plan documents as they became available and allowed members of the public to receive notifications about upcoming events. The Committee also used social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, and NextDoor, to send quick notifications or bursts of information about the Plan and the development process. A central part of the online engagement was an online survey. This survey asked community members about their experience and familiarity with emergency conditions, their level of preparedness for future emergencies, and preferred actions for the City to take to increase resiliency in Seal Beach. The survey had responses from 189 community members; those responses are summarized here: · The overwhelming majority (78 percent) of respondents indicate that they have been impacted by flooding and coastline disturbance hazards. · The top three hazards of concern to Seal Beach residents are, in descending order: (1) earthquakes and liquefaction, (2) flooding and coastline disturbances, and (3) tsunamis. · Only half of respondents report that they have adequate homeowners’ insurance, and the overwhelming majority (83 percent) indicate that they own their residence. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-9 · Among both homeowners and renters, approximately 30 percent report that they have flood insurance. · The most common emergency kit items that respondents have are battery-powered flashlights (91 percent), can openers (90 percent), cooking and eating utensils (88 percent), canned/nonperishable food (87 percent), and first aid kit/supplies (87 percent). Less than half of respondents, however, indicate having battery-powered radios (26 percent), important photos and documents in a water- and fire-proof containers (31 percent), pet supplies (40 percent), and gasoline (13 percent). · More than half (56 percent) of respondents say they are unfamiliar with the special needs of their neighbors should they need to assist them in an emergency event. · About 20 percent of respondents report having participated in Seal Beach’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), and a further 28 percent indicate they would be interested in learning more about CERT. · According to respondents, the most effective thing the City of Seal Beach can do to help residents become better prepared for a disaster is to provide effective emergency notifications and communication. · About half (54 percent) of respondents say that their employer has a disaster recovery plan in place, and approximately 25 percent indicate their employer does not. Appendix B contains copies of all materials used for public outreach, including the full results of the community survey. PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT On October 23, 2018, Seal Beach released a draft copy of the LHMP for public review and comment. The document was posted electronically on the City’s website (http://www.sealbeachca.gov/Departments/Police/Public-Safety/Local-Hazard-Mitigation-Plan), and hard copies were made available at the City Clerk’s Office at 211 Eighth Street, Seal Beach, CA 90740. The City distributed notifications about the public review draft through social media accounts and other online sources. Comments can be provided via email at hazardmitigation@sealbeachca.gov or in writing mailed to Seal Beach Emergency Services Coordinator at 211 Eighth Street, Seal Beach, CA 90740. PLAN REVISION AND ADOPTION During the public comment period, the City received one letter regarding the Naval Weapons Station facility within the City. The focus of the comments provided concerned the operations of this facility and anticipated changes proposed by the Navy. These concerns are outside of the scope of the hazard mitigation planning process. Based on this, no additional revisions to the plan were necessary prior to transmittal to Cal OES to begin the formal review process. The Committee then made additional revisions to incorporate comments from state and federal agencies, as appropriate, and submitted the final draft to City decision makers. The Seal Beach City Council adopted the final LHMP on [Insert Adoption Date], 2019. Appendix C contains a copy of the adoption resolution. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 1-10 PLAN RESOURCES The Committee used a number of different plans, studies, technical reports, datasets, and other resources to prepare the hazard assessment, mapping, threat assessment, and other components of this Plan.

City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 2-1 CHAPTER 2 2. COMMUNITY PROFILE This chapter of the LHMP is a summary of Seal Beach, with information about the community’s physical setting, history, economy and demographics, current and future land uses, and key infrastructure. The community profile establishes the baseline conditions that inform the development of the hazard mitigation actions in Chapter 5. SETTING AND LOCATION Seal Beach is in northern Orange County at the southernmost junction of Los Angeles and Orange counties. It is approximately 23 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The cities of Westminster, Garden Grove, and Huntington Beach lie along Seal Beach’s eastern border. The cities of Cypress and Los Alamitos are to the north. The City of Long Beach, in adjacent Los Angeles County, borders Seal Beach on the west. The Pacific Ocean borders Seal Beach to the southwest. The city consists for the most part of lowland plains, with sandy beaches backed in places by low bluffs and mesas. Seal Beach surrounds the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, a protected wetland on land operated by the United States (US) Naval Weapons Station at Seal Beach and typical of the habitat that was once common along the California coast. The San Gabriel River runs along Seal Beach’s western border and empties near the city’s beach, and a number of artificial flood control channels run through the community. The sections of Seal Beach that the City controls are mostly developed. Most of the open space in the city is controlled by the US Naval Weapons Station. Residential land uses, mostly single-family houses, are the most common land use in Seal Beach. The city also has smaller amounts of multifamily, commercial, industrial, and public/open space land. HISTORY The most recent Native American peoples to live in the lands that make up present-day Seal Beach and the surrounding area are the Tongva. Their earliest recorded presence dates back 2,000 years (City of Orange 2018). The first known European presence in the area was the arrival of Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portolá in 1769. The first permanent European presence in Orange County was the 1776 establishment of Mission San Juan Capistrano to the south. After Mexico (including California) became independent from Spain in 1821, the missions were secularized, and large portions of land were granted to prominent figures. The area of modern-day Seal Beach became part of the Rancho Los Alamitos grant given to Spanish soldier Manuel Nieto (Orange County Archives n.d.). City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 2-2 After the cession of California by Mexico to the United States, an area east of modern-day Seal Beach became home to a group of German immigrants who established “Anaheim.” These immigrants erected a port called Anaheim Landing near where the Naval Weapons Station is today. This grew and developed into what is today the downtown area of Seal Beach. In the early 1900s, the settlement eventually shifted from being a shipping center to a resort town and cemented this transition by changing its name to Bay City 1903. Connections to Los Angeles via the burgeoning Pacific Electric rail system allowed visitors easy access to Bay City. The city subsequently adopted the name Seal Beach when it became an officially incorporated city in 1915 (City of Seal Beach 2003a). The advent of the Second World War prompted the next cycle of the city’s growth. It was during this time that the Naval Weapons Station was built and the aerospace industry took root in the city. The Leisure World community was also established during the late 1950s. Today, the city is still a tourist destination and boasts a population of more than 24,000 residents (City of Seal Beach 2003a). In its history, the community has endured hazards such as major storms, fires that damaged the city’s pier, and a deadly shooter event in 2011 (Gerber 2017). Anaheim Landing during the 1930s.

City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 2-3 DEMOGRAPHICS The US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey estimates Seal Beach’s population at 24,510 residents as of 2015. It is one of the smallest of Orange County’s 34 cities by population; only Laguna Woods, La Palma, Los Alamitos, and Villa Park have fewer people (US Census Bureau 2015a). Compared to Orange County as a whole, Seal Beach residents are older but have a lower median household income and a higher level of home ownership. Table 2-1 shows the basic demographics for Seal Beach and Orange County. A greater proportion of Seal Beach residents identify as white compared to Orange County residents. Approximately 19 percent of Seal Beach residents identify as nonwhite compared to approximately 37 percent of Orange County residents. Table 2-2 shows the racial and ethnic composition in Seal Beach and Orange County.

Similarly, approximately 4 percent of Seal Beach adults have not finished high school, compared to 16 percent of Orange County adults. Table 2-3 shows educational attainment for adults in Seal Beach and Orange County. Spanish is the most commonly spoken language in Seal Beach after English, followed by Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese. Among residents at least five years of age, approximately 84 percent of Seal Beach residents speak English at home, compared to approximately 69 percent of Orange County residents. Among speakers of the more common languages in Seal Beach other than English, only some are English proficient as well, with almost 8 in 10 Korean speakers and half of Chinese speakers not being proficient in English.

City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 2-5 ECONOMY AND COMMUTE PATTERNS Seal Beach may be commonly thought of as a tourist destination, but the primary pillars of the City’s economy are the aerospace and manufacturing industries. According to the US Census, nearly three out of ten jobs (approximately 29 percent) in the community are in manufacturing. Other major economic sectors are accommodation and food services (providing approximately 14 percent of jobs), retail trade (approximately 13 percent of jobs), and various healthcare and social assistance services (approximately 9 percent of jobs) (US Census 2018). Most of Seal Beach’s largest employers are in aerospace, healthcare, and manufacturing. Some of the top employers in Seal Beach include: · Boeing Co.: An aerospace firm with an estimated 2,505 employees. · US Healthcare Services: A healthcare firm with an estimated 500 employees. · Accurate Metal Fabricators: A manufacturing firm with an estimated 300 employees. (City of Seal Beach 2015a) In addition, tourism is still an important part of Seal Beach’s identity; this is reflected in the more than two million annual visitors to the City (City of Seal Beach 2015). Most residents of Seal Beach commute to their work places—approximately 95 percent of employed residents travel outside of the community for work. Residents who commute mostly travel to Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Anaheim, and other Orange County communities. Similarly, approximately 95 percent of people who work in Seal Beach come from other communities, predominantly from Long Beach, Huntington Beach, and Anaheim, but also from Los Angeles and other communities in Orange County (US Census 2017). The highest concentration of jobs in Seal Beach is in the area close to the US Naval Weapons Station and Leisure World campuses near the intersection of Seal Beach Boulevard and Westminster Boulevard. Other job centers include the area around the intersection of I-405 and Seal Beach Boulevard and the Downtown area of Seal Beach (US Census 2017). LAND USES The portions of Seal Beach’s land that the City controls are mostly developed. The most prolific zoning designation in Seal Beach is “military,” with nearly 70 percent of Seal Beach’s land falling under this designation as a result of it being inside of the US Naval Weapons Station. The city’s undeveloped areas are designated for open space or recreational uses, such as the Los Cerritos Wetlands and the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge that cover nearly 1,000 acres of the City’s undeveloped land. After the military zoning designation, residential land uses, predominantly medium-density residential, make up most of the city’s developed area. Commercial, industrial, and institutional land uses contribute smaller fractions (Seal Beach 2003b). Figure 2-1 depicts the general plan land uses for the city. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 2-6 DEVELOPMENT TRENDS Due to the lack of developable open land, development activities in the city typically involve minor modifications to existing commercial and residential buildings, infill development on parking lots, and rehabilitation of existing buildings. INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Infrastructure is of crucial importance during hazardous events. Any damage sustained by City infrastructure could compound existing hazards or cause new ones to emerge. As an example, flooding caused by infrastructure failure could lead to increased erosion or spread hazardous materials. ELECTRICITY Seal Beach receives its electricity from Southern California Edison (SCE), which is one of California’s three major investor-owned electrical utility companies and the largest electrical supplier in the state (CEC 2016).1 SCE sources electricity from power plants throughout California and neighboring states and delivers it through a network of large-scale power lines and substations (CEC 2015a). Seal Beach does not have any registered commercial power plants within its boundaries though some buildings have solar panels. There is one electrical substation in Seal Beach, the Norseal Substation. A second facility, the Alamitos Substation, is near Seal Beach but just outside the city on Los Angeles County land and operated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (CEC 2017a). The primary transmission line in Seal Beach runs along Westminster Boulevard with connections to other substations outside of the city. These external connections provide Seal Beach with some redundancies against power outages in the event that individual power lines are damaged, although damage to a substation or more widespread damage to power lines could result in a greater loss of power (CEC 2015b, 2017a). 1 As of 2015, as measured by the amount of electricity supplied. Electrical substations are vital facilities to ensure that electrical service is safe and reliable. Image from Paul Chernikhowsky.

City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 2-9 NATURAL GAS The Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) provides natural gas service to Seal Beach. A major gas distribution line runs underneath Seal Beach Boulevard and SR-22 (the Garden Grove Freeway). No other major pipelines are present (SoCalGas 2018; CEC 2017b). Various facilities in Huntington Beach, Long Beach, and other surrounding communities help to keep the natural gas flowing safely and reliably (CEC 2017b). Should the transmission line in Seal Beach or any affiliated facilities sustain damage, natural gas service in Seal Beach could be restricted. Since natural gas is highly flammable, a potential rupture in a gas pipeline or an incident that sends sparks flying around open plumes of natural gas could cause a fire or even an explosion. WATER AND WASTEWATER The City of Seal Beach receives its water from two main sources—local groundwater and imported water. Figure 2 shows the proportions of water supply coming from either source. Figure 2-2: Water Sources in Seal Beach Source: Seal Beach 2015b The City of Seal Beach purchases the majority of its water supply directly from water wholesale companies. The Orange County Water District (OCWD) sells Seal Beach local well water. The Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC), which is a member of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), sells the city imported water from the State Water Project and the Colorado River Aqueduct. MWD obtains imported water and provides it to regional water retailers, like MWDOC, to distribute the water among the communities in their jurisdiction (City of Seal Beach 2015b; MWDOC 2015; OCWD 2015). Only a miniscule portion of Seal Beach’s water is purchased from a private water utility. The Shops at Rossmoor, a shopping mall at the northern end of Seal Beach adjacent to the unincorporated community of Rossmoor, receives its water from the Golden State Water Company (GSWC) (City of Seal Beach 2015b). Outside of this area, the rest of the community receives its water directly from the City. Water from MWD or groundwater pumped from elsewhere in Orange County may be affected by damage to water treatment plants and delivery infrastructure in the county. The districts are also vulnerable to 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Local groundwater Imported Water City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 2-10 water infrastructure damage in the Los Angeles Basin or the major aqueducts that supply the region, which may affect MWD supplies. Wastewater service in the community is supplied by the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD). The City operates the sewer lines and pump stations that collect wastewater from buildings and facilities in Seal Beach and convey it to a regional network for treatment. The nearest wastewater treatment facility is the OCSD Plant in Fountain Valley. Damage to the City-owned sewer system or to OCSD facilities may reduce treatment capacity or cause a leak, which in turn may pose a hazard to human and environmental health (OCSD 2018). TRANSPORTATION The three major roadways in Seal Beach are the Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1), Westminster Boulevard, and Seal Beach Boulevard. Pacific Coast Highway runs the length of Seal Beach near the coast, with two lanes in both directions, and connects to Long Beach to the northwest and Huntington Beach to the southeast. Westminster Boulevard bisects the city on an east-west axis from the western border with Long Beach to the eastern border with Westminster, with two lanes in either direction. Seal Beach Boulevard bisects the city from Pacific Coast Highway all the way to its northern border with the Los Alamitos, with three lanes in both directions. Major regional freeways include Interstate 405 and State Route 22, which run through the city. In the event of an emergency, most community members would likely evacuate in either direction along Pacific Coast Highway as well as Seal Beach and Westminster boulevards. If any of these routes become inaccessible, the other roadways and local streets could easily become congested due to their limited capacity. Use of these evacuation routes will be based on the incident and the areas of the City impacted. The Orange County Transportation Authority and Long Beach Transit run bus lines that connect Seal Beach with cities in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The nearest train station is the 1st Street Station in Downtown Long Beach, served by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s light- rail transit system. The Buena Park train station, approximately 11 miles northeast of Seal Beach, provides access to the regional Metrolink commuter rail system. The nearest airport with commercial service is Long Beach Municipal Airport in Long Beach. California’s famed State Route 1 is a primary route through Seal Beach. Image from Tony Hisgett. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-1 CHAPTER 3 3. HAZARD ASSESSMENT This chapter discusses the types of hazards that might reasonably happen in Seal Beach. It describes these hazards and how they are measured, where in Seal Beach they may occur, a history of these hazards in and around Seal Beach, and the future risk they pose. The discussion of future risks includes any changes to the frequency, intensity, and/or location of these hazards as a result of climate change. This chapter also discusses how the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee selected and prioritized the hazards in this Plan. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION FEMA guidance identifies a number of hazards that communities should evaluate for inclusion in a hazard mitigation plan. Communities may also consider additional hazards for their plans. The Committee reviewed an extensive list of hazard events and excluded the ones that do not pose a threat to Seal Beach. Table 3-1 lists the hazards considered by the Committee and explains why each hazard was or was not included. The table also shows if a hazard is recommended for consideration by FEMA and if it is included in the 2013 “California Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan.” TABLE 3-1: HAZARD EVALUATION FOR SEAL BEACH LHMP Hazard Recommended for Consideration Included in LHMP?

Volcano FEMA guidance California plan No There are no volcanoes near enough to Seal Beach to reasonably pose a threat. Wildfires California plan Orange County Plan Yes Wildfires in Seal Beach are likely due to large amounts of open and natural spaces in the City, including the wetlands and Gum Grove Park. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-4 The Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee combined multiple selected hazards into a single category, renamed some hazard types, and discussed some hazards with multiple subcategories in order to streamline the list and make it more accurately reflect the conditions in Seal Beach. · Fire Hazards: combines urban and wildland fires. · Flood Hazards: includes dam and levee failures. · Seismic Hazards: includes fault ruptures, seismic shaking, and liquefaction. · Severe Weather: includes severe wind, extreme heat, storm surge, and tornado/ water spout. After hazard evaluation and the organizational changes made by the Committee, this Plan discusses 11 hazard types: · Coastal Flooding and Storms · Drought · Fire · Flood · Hazardous Materials Release · Erosion · Sea Level Rise · Seismic · Severe Weather · Tree Mortality · Tsunami HAZARD SCORING AND PRIORITIZATION The Committee followed FEMA guidance for hazard mitigation plans and prioritized each of the 11 hazards. In the initial step, it assigned a score of 1 to 4 in four criteria for each of the 11 hazards. The four criteria are: · Probability: The likelihood that the hazard will occur in Seal Beach in the future. · Location: The size of the area that the hazard would affect. · Maximum probable extent: The severity of the direct damage of the hazard to Seal Beach. · Secondary impacts: The severity of indirect damage of the hazard to Seal Beach. The Committee assigned a weighting value to each criterion, giving a higher weight to the criteria deemed more important, and multiplied the score for each criterion by the weighting factor to determine the overall score for each criterion. The weighting values were recommended by FEMA: · Probability: 2.0 · Location: 0.8 · Maximum probable extent: 0.7 · Secondary impacts: 0.5 City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-5 Table 3-2 shows the rubric used to assign a score for each criterion. TABLE 3-2: CRITERION SCORING Probability Maximum Probable Extent (Primary Impact) The estimated likelihood of occurrence based on historical data. The anticipated damage to a typical structure in the community. Probability Score Impact Score Unlikely—less than a 1 percent chance in a given year. 1 Weak—little to no damage 1 Occasional—a 1 to 10 percent chance in a given year. 2 Moderate—some damage, loss of service for days 2 Likely—a 10 to 90 percent chance in a given year. 3 Severe—devastating damage, loss of service for months 3 Highly likely—more than a 90 percent chance in a given year. 4 Extreme—catastrophic damage, uninhabitable conditions 4 Location Secondary Impact The projected area of the community affected by the hazard. The estimated secondary impacts to the community at large. Affected Area Score Impact Score Negligible—affects less than 10 percent of the planning area. 1 Negligible—no loss of function, downtime, and/or evacuations 1 Limited—affects 10 to 25 percent of the planning area. 2 Limited—minimal loss of functions, downtime, and/or evacuations 2 Significant—affects 25 to 75 percent of the planning area. 3 Moderate—some loss of functions, downtime, and/or evacuations 3 Extensive—affects more than 75 percent of the planning area. 4 High—major loss of functions, downtime, and/or evacuations 4 After calculating the overall score for each criterion for each hazard, the scores for location, maximum probable extent, and secondary impact were summed to determine the total impact score for each hazard. FEMA guidance recommends multiplying the total impact score by the overall probability score to determine the final score for each hazard. A final score between 0 and 12 is considered a low-threat hazard, 12.1 to 42 is a medium-threat hazard, and a score above 42 is considered a high-threat hazard. This final score determines the prioritization of the hazards. Table 3-3 shows the individual criterion scores, the final score, and the threat level for each hazard based on the above prioritization process. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-6 TABLE 3-3: HAZARD SCORES AND THREAT LEVEL Hazard Group Hazard Probability (2.0) Impact (2.0) Final Score Threat Level Location (0.8) Primary Impact (0.7) Secondary Impact (0.5) Coastal Inundation Coastal Flooding and Storms 4 (Highly Likely) 2 (Limited) 4 (Extreme) 2 (Limited) 43.20 High Extreme Weather Drought 4 (Highly Likely) 4 (Extensive) 2 (Moderate) 2 (Limited) 44.80 High Extreme Weather Flood (Dam/Levee Failure) 4 (Highly Likely) 4 (Extensive) 2 (Moderate) 2 (Limited) 44.80 High Seismic Seismic Hazards 4 (Highly Likely) 4 (Extensive) 4 (Extreme) 4 (High) 64.00 High Hazardous Materials Release Hazardous Materials Release 2 (Occasional) 3 (Significant) 3 (Severe) 3 (Moderate) 24.00 Medium Coastal Inundation Erosion 4 (Highly Likely) 2 (Limited) 2 (Moderate) 2 (Limited) 32.00 Medium Extreme Weather Severe Weather: Wind, Heat, Tornado/ Water Spout 4 (Highly Likely) 4 (Extensive) 3 (Severe) 3 (Moderate) 54.40 High Coastal Inundation Sea Level Rise 4 (Highly Likely) 2 (Limited) 2 (Moderate) 2 (Limited) 32.00 Medium Coastal Inundation Tsunami 3 (Likely) 2 (Limited) 3 (Severe) 3 (Moderate) 31.00 Medium Fire Fire 3 (Likely) 2 (Limited) 2 (Moderate) 2 (Limited) 24.00 Medium Extreme Weather Tree Mortality 2 (Occasional) 2 (Limited) 2 (Moderate) 2 (Limited) 16.00 Medium HAZARD PROFILES COASTAL INUNDATION For the purposes of this plan, the Coastal Inundation hazard group includes the following hazards: Coastal Flooding and Storms, Erosion, Sea Level Rise, and Tsunami. Some hazards—e.g., Coastal Flooding and Storms, Erosion—may have similar causes as the hazards in the Extreme Weather group, but their extents are unique to coastal areas and do not affect the whole city. Description Coastal Flooding and Storms: The majority of the storm systems that pass over Seal Beach arrive in the winter, especially from December to March (WRCC 2018). The strength of storms can be unpredictable, given how much they vary, though some are very powerful. Storms often include strong winds and heavy rainfall; sometimes they include lightning or hail; and they can also bring tornadoes, though only rarely. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-7 A meteorological phenomenon called an “atmospheric river” is the driving power behind the storms that lead to coastal flooding. An atmospheric river is a path of moist air traveling from one global region to another. Storms originating from atmospheric rivers are rare, but they are responsible for nearly half of all precipitation in California (NOAA 2015). The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO, also known as El Niño) is the other main source of coastal flooding and storms in Seal Beach. El Niño is a natural cycle of winds and fluctuating ocean temperatures in southeastern tropical areas of the Pacific Ocean that influences weather patterns across the globe. El Niño consists of three phases: a warm phase (called El Niño), a neutral phase, and a cool phase (called La Niña). The warm phase tends to increase precipitation, particularly in southern California, which leads to coastal flooding in beach communities like Seal Beach (UC Berkeley 2018). These storms may lead to a number of detrimental environmental effects for the community. Heavy rain can lead to flooding, which can damage buildings and cause injuries or even drownings. Flooding can also lead to other hazards, such as erosion. Strong winds caused by intense storms may cause property damage or injury, and lightning can cause power outages or ignite fires. Erosion: Coastal erosion is the gradual or sudden removal of sand and beaches by wind, rain, high surf, tides, and other events. Buildings and facilities situated on beaches with poor drainage can lead to runoff or ponding which may exacerbate erosion. Erosion can also harm these structures by excavating the ground or sand under them. Over time, erosion makes beaches narrower, which reduces their capacity for recreational use and restricts coastal access. Sea Level Rise: Sea level rise is the raising of the elevation of the surface of the ocean caused by Earth’s changing climate. The increase in global temperatures is causing ice, like glaciers, to melt. The freed meltwater enters water systems and ultimately finds its way to the oceans. Warmer temperatures also cause the water in oceans to expand in volume, which leads to even further sea level rise. Sea level rise is a global issue, but affects places differently because of variations in geography. Sea level rise is not itself a threat in the present or near future, but it makes other coastal hazards more dramatic—such as coastal flooding, tsunamis, high surf, or high tides. Sea level rise reduces the overall size of beaches and lessens their effectiveness as buffers between the ocean and coastal development. It extends the reach of coastal flooding even farther inland than would otherwise be possible. Sea level rise also increases the rate of beach erosion. In the future, sea level rise could even lead to the permanent or semi-permanent flooding of low-lying coastal areas. Seal Beach’s flooded beachfront after rains in winter 2017. Image from Sam Gangwer. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-8 Tsunami: Tsunamis are a type of oceanic wave usually generated by underwater seismic activity. Earthquakes are the most common cause of tsunamis, but landslides, volcanic activity, or (in extremely rare scenarios) meteor strikes may also trigger tsunamis.2 In unusual circumstances, large and sudden changes in atmospheric pressure can trigger a rare type of tsunami—a meteotsunami (Monserrat et al. 2006). Such occurrences displace large volumes of water, which creates the tsunami. In the open ocean, a tsunami wave travels 500 to 600 miles per hour (mph) but is only a few feet high and generally undetected by passing ships (NOAA 2009). Once the wave nears the shore, however, the shallow depth of the ocean floor pushes against the motion of the wave, causing it to decelerate and increase in height— sometimes as tall as 100 feet (National Geographic 2014). When it finally makes landfall, a tsunami violently disperses inland, leading to immense damage and risk of injury and death. Most tsunamis consist of multiple waves of varying height, and the initial wave may not always be the tallest or most damaging. One reason tsunamis are so dangerous is because they often begin far away from the land that they impact. Extremely powerful tsunamis can maintain their energy to impact and cause damage hundreds or thousands of miles away. The tsunami generated by the Indian Ocean earthquake in 2004, for example, caused damage in California, 8,000 miles from its point of origin (NOAA 2014). Location and Extent Coastal Flooding and Storms: Any part of Seal Beach’s coast is subject to flooding and storms. No part is safe from the effects of the intense rainfall or wind. The storms that cause coastal flooding are not measured on any particular scale. Erosion: Though all of Seal Beach’s coastline is at risk of erosion, the southeastern neighborhood of “Surfside” has suffered considerably from erosion since the beginning of the 20th century. Public works projects—e.g., the concrete channelization of the San Gabriel River, the construction of the jetties, the installation of the Naval Weapons Station—have reduced the amount of sediment reaching Surfside’s beach. This reduced rate of sand replenishment has increased the rate of erosion (CDBW 2002). Sea Level Rise: All of Seal Beach’s coastal areas are at risk of sea level rise. Buildings and facilities in the downtown area and in the Surfside community may also be exposed to sea level rise in the future. Figure 3-1 depicts the areas of the City that would be inundated by 24 inches of sea level rise, expected by 2050. Figure 3-2 depicts the areas of the City that would be inundated by 60 inches of sea level rise, expected by 2100. Tsunami: All beaches in Seal Beach could be inundated by a tsunami. In the coastal areas near downtown and the pier, the water from a tsunami could reach as far inland as Pacific Coast Highway. A tsunami could also travel up the San Gabriel River as far as the interchange between I-605, I-405, and SR-22 or travel through Anaheim Bay into the Bolsa Chica Channel as far as Rancho Road (California Department of Conservation 2009a, 2009b). Figure 3-3 depicts the tsunami inundation hazard areas for the City. 2 Tsunamis are sometimes incorrectly called tidal waves, but a tidal wave is a different type of event. Tsunamis are not caused by tides. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-9 Past Events Coastal Flooding and Storms: Coastal flooding caused by storms most recently impacted Seal Beach during the winter of 2016–2017. Multiple strong storms overwhelmed the City’s pumps in Old Town, and the strong storms uprooted trees and caused power outages (Vega 2017). A series of intense winter storms in December 2010 eroded the City’s beach. A major storm in the autumn of 2004 caused flooding three feet deep at homes near Anaheim Landing (Mena 2004). A storm in 1939 caused high winds and powerful waves that destroyed the Seal Beach pier (Grad 2016) A powerful El Niño in 1983 wiped out the Seal Beach pier again and another storm in 1988 caused $5.6 million of damage to coastline of Orange County (Strong 1993). Erosion: Coastal erosion has been a problem for residents of Surfside and Anaheim Bay since the mid- 20th century, when beach nourishment programs were first put in place. Typically, replenishment volumes range between 60,000 to 100,000 cubic volumes of sand (CDBW 2002). However, there have also been some significant erosion events in the past. For example, strong storms and rainfall during the winter of 2016–2017 caused significant erosion at Seal Beach (Connelly 2016). Sea Level Rise: Water level gauges have continuously monitored sea level rise in southern California since the 1920s. The Port of Los Angeles has experienced a sea level rise of approximately 1 millimeter per year, or slightly less than 4 inches in 100 years (NOAA 2017). Although no specific hazard event in Southern California has ever been definitively caused by sea level rise, it is suspected that it has exacerbated coastal flood events.

In these cases, the tsunami event’s point of origin was located thousands of miles away but the waves were powerful enough to make landfall in Seal Beach. In most recorded cases, little to no damage was incurred. Examples of tsunami events include the 2015 Chile earthquake, 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, the 1964 earthquake in Alaska, and the 1960 earthquake in Chile. Some recent tsunami events have resulted in beach closures in Seal Beach as a precaution (Schwebke 2015). While the City has not suffered direct damage, past tsunamis have resulted in damage elsewhere in California. Risk of Future Events Coastal Flooding and Storms: All expectations are that coastal flooding and the storms associated with them will continue to affect Seal Beach. While storm strength and event details vary based on global weather patterns, the atmospheric rivers and ENSO that empower storms are expected to continue long into the future. Erosion: All indications are that coastal erosion will continue to be a problem in Seal Beach. Without human intervention, nearly 67 percent of all existing Southern California beaches and coastline are predicted to completely erode by 2100 (USGS 2016). Future erosion is contingent upon a number of factors, including sea level rise, the frequency and intensity of storms, and the drainage practices of beachside development. Sea Level Rise: As warmer global temperatures continue to melt the world’s ice, the rate at which the surface of the ocean rises is expected to accelerate. Sea levels could increase up to one foot above historic levels by 2030, two feet by 2050, and five feet by 2100. Most of Seal Beach is projected to be unaffected until the sea level rises five feet or more. At this level, many areas of the City could be permanently or semi-permanently under water, including the Naval Weapons Station, National Wildlife Refuge, Leisure World, and residential areas around Old Town Seal Beach (Climate Central 2017). These dates represent best estimates, but sea level rise could reach and surpass these elevations even sooner if unforeseen circumstances cause the climate to warm faster than originally expected. Tsunami: It is impossible to predict when and where tsunamis will be triggered. In the case of meteotsunamis, the weather events that lead to them could potentially be predicted, but they are very rare, and there is no accurate means of forecasting meteotsunamis at this time (Vilibić et al. 2016). The most damaging tsunamis are usually set off by earthquakes at an off-shore fault called a subduction zone. Earthquakes at these faults cause the ocean floor to move up or down along the fault boundary, The Northern California community of Crescent City suffered damage from the tsunami triggered by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake close to 4,500 miles away. Image from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-14 causing a large vertical displacement of water that can become a major tsunami. Most of California lacks these subduction zones, so the chance of a major tsunami being triggered by a local event is remote, but not impossible. It is far more likely that any future tsunamis impacting Seal Beach will be triggered by distant subduction zones. Local offshore faults are not known to cause the large vertical displacements of a subduction zone, although they could cause more moderate tsunamis (USGS 2013; Oskin 2014a). Climate Change Considerations Coastal Flooding and Storms: Climate change will likely enhance the power of atmospheric rivers, bringing more intense storms to Seal Beach and more incidents of flooding. Some recent studies suggest that the average atmospheric-river-transported storm could become 10 to 20 percent more powerful by 2100, though the number of such storms in Southern California is not projected to change (Oskin 2014b). With regard to the ENSO cycle, it remains unclear as to how exactly climate change could impact storms generated by El Niño. A 2014 study suggests that extreme warm cycles could eventually occur at 10-year intervals rather than the current 20-year cycle, which would likely lead to more storms and incidents of coastal flooding in Seal Beach. However, some research suggests that the ENSO cycle could become less potent, and others speculate that the ENSO cycle will not be affected in any substantial way (Cho 2016). Therefore, it is impossible to say with certainty how the ENSO cycle will behave in the future with regard to the storms and coastal flooding it causes in Seal Beach. Erosion: Climate change will intensify erosion in Seal Beach. All the main causes of erosion, such as wind, storms, flooding, and precipitation, will be empowered by climate change (Oskin 2014b). Sea Level Rise: Climate change is the primary driver of contemporary sea level rise. Without climate change, it is highly unlikely that sea level rise would pose a threat to coastal areas like Seal Beach in the near or even long- term future. Sea level rise induced by climate change will lead to and intensify other hazards, including erosion, coastal flooding, and tsunamis. Tsunami: Since most tsunamis are caused by seismic events, climate change will not likely increase the likelihood of a tsunami. On the other hand, meteotsunamis could become more frequent as climate change impacts local weather patterns. Because these kinds of tsunamis are already so rare, however, it is difficult to know exactly how climate change and the conditions that create meteotsunamis will interact. Apart from this, climate change will likely intensify the impact of tsunamis since higher sea levels will allow tsunamis to reach and inundate farther inland. Tree Mortality The death of trees is not a direct cause of coastal inundation events, but trees and other vegetation can diminish the severity of certain coastal inundation hazards. Trees help shore up and strengthen the Beaches in Seal Beach and across Southern California will be reduced in size as climate change accelerates. Image from Flickr City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-15 surrounding land, making it less susceptible to erosion. Even in coastal environments, with silt or sand, trees and vegetation still reduce erosion (FAO 2006). Coasts and beaches with less erosion are likely to be less impacted by coastal flooding events (Del Mar 2017). Tree mortality can be impacted by coastal inundation hazards. Coastal flooding and storms will harm trees in Seal Beach if they are in any of the designated 100-year floodplains. However, 100-year storms are so rare that trees are not likely to be affected by this hazard. Coastal erosion is not likely to affect any trees since there are few trees planted on the beaches where erosion occurs. Sea level rise will most certainly impact tree health in coastal areas. Any trees planted in areas projected to be under water by a certain year will perish without human intervention. Tsunamis can inundate coastal areas in Seal Beach, affecting any specimens within the tsunami inundation zone. In this situation, trees may also endanger public safety if they are uprooted and propelled toward inhabited areas of Seal Beach. EXTREME WEATHER For the purposes of this plan, the Extreme Weather hazard group includes drought, flood (dam/levee failure), and severe weather (wind, heat, tornado/water spout). The severe weather hazard is also related to hazards in the Coastal Inundation group, but it is included in this section because severe weather affects all of Seal Beach, not just the coastal areas. The floods in this section are also distinct from the coastal flooding described above since they are caused by the failure of infrastructure, such as flood control channels, storm drains, or pumps, rather than by natural causes alone. Description Drought: Droughts are periods when substantially less water is available than normal as a result of significantly less precipitation. Agricultural and natural areas are particularly susceptible to drought, but urban spaces can also be affected. Landscapes in homes, parks, and businesses can be adversely affected if plants do not receive enough water. In the case of exceptional droughts, human health can be endangered when there is not enough water to meet basic needs. Also, droughts cause soils to dry out, which reduces their permeability and may indirectly cause flooding because more water runs off. Drier soils have a higher likelihood of erosion or becoming part of a landslide. Droughts also dry out plants and vegetation, which increases their likelihood of being attacked by a disease or pests. Flood: Floods occur when the amount of water on a normally dry section of land exceeds the ground’s absorption rate. Flooding results from rainfall—either an extremely intense storm event or a protracted series of storms. The intense influx of water can cause rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water to become engorged and overflow their embankments and can overburden storm drains, pumps, and other flood Droughts in other parts of the state could reduce the amount of water Seal Beach is able to import. Image from Chris “Maven” Austin. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-16 control infrastructure. Low-lying areas are susceptible to “ponding,” when improper drainage causes water to collect and sit. Some types of flooding are unique to coastal areas. Intense storms often create large waves or strong winds that drive ocean water onto beaches and into low-lying coastal lands. This kind of flooding is discussed in more detail in the Coastal Inundation hazards group. Severe Weather: Severe weather includes wind, extreme heat, and tornado water spout events. Wind and Tornado/Water Spout Winds occur due to pressure differences in the atmosphere. Air from higher pressure areas moves into lower pressure areas to create equilibrium. The wind’s speed depends on the magnitude of the pressure difference. Generally, these pressure differences are not very large, so winds move slowly, but they can take on great speed and force when the difference in air pressure is great. The minimum threshold for destructive wind speed is 47 mph or higher, though slightly slower wind speeds can also cause some damage. Winds can cause property damage such as shorn roof shingles, siding, or toppled fences. Stronger winds can blow over vehicles, trees, or utility lines. Extremely powerful winds can fling large pieces of debris, which are especially dangerous to people outside. A tornado is an extreme wind event that consists of a column of wind rotating at high speeds. They are infamous for the paths of devastation they carve across landscapes, but they are not common in California. A more common wind hazard is a “katabatic wind,” which carries high-density air downslope due to gravity. The hot, dry, Santa Ana winds are a local example of a katabatic wind. Downbursts, microbursts, and derechos are wind events that are associated with thunderstorms and can travel almost as fast as tornado winds. A waterspout is a type of tornado that occurs over a body of water. Similar to a tornado, waterspouts rotate due to differences in air pressure between the outside and inside of the air mass, however some of the air is replaced with water. These tornadic waterspouts should not be confused with fair weather waterspouts, which are not related to severe storms and are not a concern to the city. Extreme Heat Extreme heat events are when temperatures are much higher than normal. There is no universally agreed- upon definition for an extreme heat event since climatic norms vary by area. In California, an extreme heat day usually refers to a day in which the maximum temperature exceeds 98 percent of all other recorded temperature maximums (Cal EPA and CDPH 2013). In Seal Beach, the extreme heat threshold is approximately 96 F°. A heat wave is a series of extreme heat days one after the other. It is important to note that heat events are not solely the result of high temperatures because humidity can make temperatures feel dramatically hotter than they are. This perceived temperature is called the “heat index.” For example, a 90°F temperature at 90 percent humidity feels like 113°F (NWS 2018). Figure 3-4 identifies NOAA’s National Weather Service Heat Index. Extreme heat is dangerous to humans and City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-17 other animals. Fatigue can set in with a heat index as low as 80°F, and long exposure can lead to heat exhaustion. Extreme heat can lead to heatstroke when internal body temperatures exceed 105°F. Without intervention, people experiencing heatstroke risk organ failure and even death. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, are susceptible to extreme heat, as is anyone who spends long periods outdoors. Location and Extent Drought: Most droughts in California are regional events, so when they do occur, large sections of the state can be affected. In a drought, all parts of Seal Beach will be affected, though some parts may feel the impacts less given geographic differences. Some of Seal Beach’s water supply comes from regional sources. When a drought impacts any of these areas, the City can experience a “long-distance” drought. However, most of Seal Beach’s water comes from local sources, and the likelihood that the City will be impacted by such an event is low. There are numerous scales for measuring drought conditions, although one of the most common is the US Drought Monitor Classification Scheme. This rating system is a synthesis of multiple scales into a descriptive index, as shown in Table 3-4. TABLE 3-4: US DROUGHT MONITOR CLASSIFICATION SCHEME Category Description Possible Impacts D0* Abnormally dry Slower growth of crops and pastures. D1 Moderate drought Some damage to crops and pastures. Water bodies and wells are low. Some water shortages may occur or may be imminent. Voluntary water use restrictions can be requested. D2 Severe drought Likely crop and pasture losses. Water shortages are common, and water restrictions can be imposed. D3 Extreme drought Major crop and pasture losses. Widespread water shortages and restrictions. D4 Exceptional drought Exceptional and widespread crop and pasture losses. Emergency water shortages develop. Source: US Drought Monitor 2017a. * D0 areas are those under “drought watch” but not technically in a drought. They are potentially heading into drought conditions or recovering from drought but not yet back to normal. Flood: Flooding is measured by the likelihood of its occurrence and severity. A 100-year flood is an extreme flood that has a 1 percent change of occurring (or 1 in 100) in any given year. A 500-year flood Figure 3-4: NOAA Heat Index City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-18 has a 0.2 percent change of occurring (1 in 500) in any given year. Since 100-year flood events are more common, they are used as the benchmark for major flood events and are called “base floods.” A 100-year flood does not mean that such an event occurs only once a century. It is possible—though unlikely—to have multiple 100-year floods consecutively. Floodplains are areas that are frequently subject to flooding. A 100-year floodplain means the area has a chance of being inundated by a 100-year flood. A 500-year floodplain has a chance of being inundated by a 500-year flood. FEMA is the federal body in charge of managing floodplains and uses its own designation system. Generally, a 100-year floodplain is a “special flood hazard area”; a 500-year floodplain (not including overlaps with 100-year floodplains) is a “moderate flood hazard area”; and any area not in a 100- or 500-year floodplain is a “minimum flood hazard area.” FEMA uses a more detailed categorization to describe floodplains with fine-grain differences. Table 3-5 shows these detailed floodplain categories. TABLE 3-5: FEMA FLOOD PLAIN CATEGORIES Category Description A Within a 100-year flood plain, but the water height of the 100-year flood is not known.

The majority of Seal Beach is considered by FEMA to be within a Zone “X”, or in an area with reduced flood risk due to its elevation or levee protection. There are five main areas of the city that FEMA mapped as being at risk of flooding during a 100-year event. These include a residential area next to Anaheim Landing, the beachfront near Old Town, the Los Alamitos Retarding Basin, sections of the Old Ranch Country Club, and potentially the Naval Weapons Station. Figure 3-5 shows the map of areas in Seal Beach that are at risk of inundation during a 100- or 500-year flood hazard event. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-19 Figure 3-5: FEMA Flood Hazard Map City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-20 Severe Weather: Wind Severe winds can occur anywhere in Seal Beach. Winds are commonly measured with the Beaufort Scale, developed in 1805. It is based on wind speed and observed effects and uses a scale from 0 to 12. Wind speeds that reach a 9 (severe gale) or above are generally considered intense and a potential hazard. Table 3-6 shows the Beaufort Scale. The Beaufort Scale is generally insufficient for measuring extremely strong winds. Such events are rare in Seal Beach because they are usually associated with events such as hurricanes and tornadoes, which are rare in the community. Hurricane-force winds are commonly measured with the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which can also be used for strong winds independent of hurricane events. Table 3-7 shows this system of wind measurement.

No one part of the city is more or less at risk of extreme heat. In Seal Beach, the extreme heat threshold is approximately 96 F°. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-22 Past Events Drought: California’s history is replete with periods of drought. The first major drought of note was the “Great Drought” of 1863–1864, which caused serious economic harm to California’s then-burgeoning ranching industry when drought killed a large number of cattle. Droughts from 1928 to 1935, known as the “Dustbowl Droughts,” caused massive damage to the state’s agricultural sector, which propelled California’s leadership into pursuing more secure water supplies, setting the groundwork for the State Water Project. Other major droughts of note were in 1947 to 1950, 1959 to 1960, 1976 to 1977, 1987 to 1992, and 2007 to 2009 (Kotin and Marion 2014; DWR 2015). California’s most severe drought in the past 1,200 years was between 2012 to 2017 (Griffin and Achukaitis 2014). During the height of this drought event, nearly the entire state was experiencing D2 (severe drought) conditions, and more than half of California was under D4 (exceptional drought) conditions (US Drought Monitor 2014). During this drought, Seal Beach experienced D4 conditions from July 2014 until December of 2016. The drought drew a statewide response in which water use was severely restricted. Some of these restrictions have remained in effect even after the drought ended with the heavy rainfall in the winter of 2016–2017. As of September 2018, approximately 86 percent of California is experiencing some type of drought condition with approximately 48 percent in a state of D1 (moderate drought) conditions or worse, though no part of the state is experiencing D4 (exceptional drought) conditions. Only the areas around the Sacramento Delta, the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Tahoe, and northeastern California lack any sort of drought advisories. All of Orange County, including Seal Beach, is currently experiencing D2 (severe drought) conditions. Figure 3-6 shows statewide drought conditions as of July 31, 2018. Flood: Floods are a frequent event in California and in the history of Seal Beach. · In mid-April, 1988, all of Southern California, including Seal Beach, was impacted with heavy rainfall that caused flooding of streets in San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles counties. · In early January, 1995, Seal Beach, along with other cities in Southern California, was inundated with flash flooding. · In early January, 2001, Southern California coastal areas were affected by heavy rainfall. Depending on the area, between two to four inches of rain fell within two days. This caused flash flooding in Orange County cities, including Seal Beach. · In December 13, 2012, heavy rains fell across Southern California. Between one to two inches of rain fell during one day causing flooding on Pacific Coast Highway through Seal Beach as well as damage to some garages. (NOAA 2010) City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-23 Figure 3-6: Statewide Drought Conditions, July 31, 2018 Severe Weather (Wind, Extreme Heat, Tornado/Water Spout): · In December of 1997, all of Southern California was inundated with heavy rains, which caused flooding on several local road networks. Orange County cities to the north of Seal Beach were inundated with a foot-deep layer of hail. · On February 24, 1998, all of Southern California, including Seal Beach, was affected by a powerful El Niño storm with rains which overwhelmed reservoir capacity and caused flooding in some areas. Powerful gusts blowing more than 40 mph blew over trees and disabled electrical utility lines. All four counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and San Diego were declared national emergency zones by President Clinton. · On December 6, 1998, a series of powerful electrical storms rolled through Orange County, including Seal Beach. The storm blew trees onto property and power lines. Nearly 80 residences were damaged, several vehicles were crushed, and more than 18,000 residents were left without electricity. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-24 · Between 1995 and 2005, there was an average of three extreme heat days per year in Seal Beach. While no local data is available, Seal Beach has a climate similar to neighboring Long Beach, which has an annual average maximum temperature of 74 degrees. Thus, extreme heat days are rare in the region. · In 2010, a tornado and several water spouts bombarded coastal Orange County cities, including Seal Beach. No fatalities were reported but property damage was incurred to docks and private vessels. Wind speeds reached up to 93 mph in adjacent Huntington Beach. (NOAA 2010, 2018) · In February 2017, heavy rains impacted Seal Beach that caused flooding along beachfront residences, overwhelming the capacity of City-owned pumps. (Cota-Robles 2017; NOAA 2010, 2018; WRCC 2008) Risk of Future Events Drought: Given Southern California’s semiarid climate and history of water shortages, droughts will almost certainly continue to impact Seal Beach, though it is impossible to predict exactly how long or how severe they will be. Since the majority of Seal Beach’s water supply comes from local sources, however, “long-distance” droughts will be unlikely to dramatically affect the City. If droughts affect local water sources, such as the groundwater that Seal Beach relies upon, the City could be in more serious danger of having its water supply reduced. Should Seal Beach acquire access to more sources of recycled water, the City’s resilience to future drought events will be further increased. In any case, short-term droughts will not likely have any significant impact, but longer-term droughts, such as the recent drought from 2012 to 2017, will most assuredly affect the City. Flood: The portions of Seal Beach that are on FEMA’s 100-year floodplain map are almost certain to flood sometime in the future. In the case of unprecedented rainfall, human error resulting in the failure of flood control infrastructure, or a combination of the two, other areas could be subject to flooding as well. It is impossible to eliminate human error in the operation and maintenance of the pumps, retention basins, channels, or dams that hold back floodwaters—even if the City and its regional partners refine their training and operational procedures to reduce room for error or automate certain tasks. It is more feasible to forecast the weather events that bring major rainfall to Seal Beach. Neither is it possible to predict with exactitude the length or severity of major rainfall events, but City staff can know when they are likely to occur and which areas of the City should be prepared. The City’s flood control channels and drainage systems will help reduce the risk of flooding but there will likely be scenarios when existing infrastructure will be overwhelmed by certain exceptional events. Most of the storm drains in Seal Beach are built to handle a 25-year flood and could be overwhelmed in more severe events, leading to ponding. The San Gabriel River is designed to handle water discharge resulting from a 100-year storm event, with a capacity of 55,000 cubic feet per second, but more extreme storms or debris washed into the flood channel may overwhelm the river. The Seal Beach Pump Station at Seal Beach Boulevard and Electric Way is currently designed to handle water discharge of 381 cfs, which is just below the estimated minimum capacity required to hold the flow of a 25-year storm (403 cfs) (Seal Beach 2003). The City has identified the need to improve its flood management capacity, but until funding is City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-25 secured, Seal Beach remains at great risk of being overwhelmed by flooding from extreme storms (Seal Beach 2003). Severe Weather: High wind events will almost certainly continue in Seal Beach. Storms and Santa Ana winds will be the most common type of wind events in the City, and tornadoes and/or water spouts will occur, though on a rare basis. Extreme heat events will continue but only rarely as well. Climate Change Considerations Drought: Droughts are anticipated to become more frequent, long, and severe as climate change accelerates. This translates to drier landscapes and, by extension, higher potential for fire. More intense droughts will also lead to heightened risks of flooding and erosion, since dry ground does not absorb water very well. A reduction in surface water supplies often leads to increased groundwater pumping. This could lead to hazards not known in Seal Beach at this time, such as subsidence. Flood: The atmospheric rivers that transport flood-causing storms to Seal Beach will be empowered by climate change—they are expected to become 10 to 20 percent more intense by 2100 (Oskin 2014b). Potentially, this could lead to an increase in the number and severity of flooding events in the city since more storms will likely have sufficient intensity to cause flooding, and all atmospheric-river storms are expected to be more intense. The intensification of drought due to climate change will also likely lead to more intense flood events. Dry ground does not absorb water very well, which may increase ponding and runoff. Severe Weather: Extreme heat events will almost certainly become more intense under climate change, which is the primary driver behind increases in temperatures worldwide. As the average temperature increases, the maximum threshold for extreme heat events in Seal Beach will also increase. Specifically, the average number of extreme heat days (97.3°F or above) was 4.2 in the second half of the 20th century. Between 2070 and 2099, the average number of extreme heat days in Seal Beach is expected to increase to 10 or even 19 in some extreme models (Cal-Adapt). The higher temperatures associated with climate change are likely to make wind events, like the Santa Ana winds, more hot and dry (Fountain 2017). Tornadoes and/or waterspouts may be more common due to an expected increase in the number of severe storms that generate these events, although they are expected to remain rare. Tree Mortality Severe weather can adversely impact tree health. In droughts, trees may not get enough water, which can compromise their health or kill them. Extreme heat events can also harm trees, and drought can exacerbate their impacts. Flooding can also lead to tree death. Wind events can sever large branches or Climate change will cause the number of extreme heat days in Seal Beach to increase. Image from A.M. Solar. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-26 uproot smaller specimens or saplings. More powerful wind events can overturn large, mature trees as well. All of these events can generate secondary impacts. For example, trees that are dried out or sickly as a result of drought or extreme heat can fall victim to pests. Trees that are uprooted or felled or whose branches are severed during wind, tornado, or flood events can create obstacles for first responders or for people trying to escape or obstruct critical evacuation routes, creating bottlenecks. During wind or tornado events, flying branches or other debris from trees can injure or even kill people caught outside without shelter. FIRE A fire hazard results when wildland or buildings within Seal Beach catch fire and threaten property or public safety. Fire hazards have been divided into two categories: Urban and Wildfire. Description Urban fires: Urban fires are fires that burn in developed areas of the city, affecting or destroying private homes, commercial properties, parks, or public facilities. Wildfires have the potential to turn into urban fires if their trajectory takes them close enough to developed urban areas. Urban fires may start from a range of causes—such as downed power lines, a broken gas main, arson, poor disposal or management of toxic substances, or a lack of maintenance to wooden structures or facilities. Wildfires: Fires that emerge in wildland, land that is undeveloped and features natural landscapes, are known as wildfires. Wildfires in remote areas pose very little risk to humans or property. Wildfires in the wildland-urban interface—that is, where developed areas are next to or within natural lands—are the most dangerous to human life. As urban sprawl continues into wildland areas and ever-increasing numbers of people move into the interface, wildfires become even more dangerous. Wildfires have a number of sources, including arson, accidents, and lightning. Each wildfire event is unique but is generally influenced by the amount of available fuel, weather conditions, and geographic context. A wildfire’s size is not necessarily an indication of how damaging it can be. For example, the 1991 Tunnel Fire in Oakland burned only 1,600 acres but was the second-most destructive fire in California history, destroying nearly 3,000 structures and killing 25 people (CAL FIRE 2016, 2017). Location and Extent Urban fires: The portions of Seal Beach’s land that it controls are mostly developed. Any part of this developed land is subject to catching fire due to the risk of arson or malicious intent. Areas in the City that are located around infrastructure, such as power lines or gas transmission lines, may be subject to fire risk if that infrastructure is blown over or broken during a weather or seismic hazard. Additionally, areas of Seal Beach that feature predominantly wood-frame construction or any buildings with flammable materials may be more likely to catch fire. Gas stations, which are distributed throughout the city, may also be a source of urban fires. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-27 Wildfires: Wildfire risk in California is evaluated on a three-tier scale based on fire hazard severity potential: very high, high, and moderate. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) maps all areas in the state that could fall under any tier of this scale and divides these areas into zones. This Plan is concerned with the location of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZs). Wildfire management is delegated to various levels of government depending on which agency has jurisdiction. Federal lands are classified as Federal Responsibility Areas (FRAs), state lands are classified as State Responsibility Areas (SRAs), and local governments are in charge of Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs). While sections of Seal Beach may from time to time be susceptible to wildfire hazards, the City has no land that is currently classified as a VHFHSZ. Roughly half of Seal Beach is an LRA, and the other half falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government (CAL FIRE 2011). Figure 3-7 depicts the VHFHSZs mapped throughout Orange County, with a star depicting the location of the City. Past Events Urban fires: Seal Beach has experienced a number of small urban fires that were limited in their scope of damage. In January 2018, a second-alarm fire burned an under-construction home in Seal Beach. The fire caused a limited amount of damage to surrounding homes and to some vehicles parked at the house’s rear. The cause of the fire was determined to be arson (CBS Los Angeles 2018). Leisure World has experienced fires multiple times in the last two decades. In 2017, a carport in the neighborhood caught fire. Although no homes burned and no fatalities or injuries occurred, the fire destroyed eight vehicles and caused an estimated $220,000 worth of damage (Fausto 2017). In May 2016, a man and his dog perished in an arson fire, with an additional $500,000 in property resulting from the blaze (Schwebke 2016). In 2014, five Leisure World homes were destroyed, and an estimated $1 million worth of property and structures were damaged (Casiano 2015). In 2004, a Leisure World home caught fire, causing nearly $120,000 worth of property damage (Dobruck 2014). The Seal Beach Pier has also caught fire on numerous occasions. In 2016, the shell space of a shuttered Ruby’s restaurant was destroyed due to an electrical fire. The pier was unaffected but the pier’s edge where the restaurant was located was permanently closed to the public afterwards (Mozingo 2016). The pier also burned in 1994 and 1992. The 1994 fire was in the pier’s midsection, cutting off access to the shore and trapping more than one hundred visitors on the other side, though there were no fatalities. Both fires were also caused by electrical problems (Reyes 1994). The Pier in Seal Beach has repeatedly caught fire. Image from Veronica Rocha and Joe Mozingo. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-28 Figure 3-7: Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-29 Wildfires: Seal Beach does not have a history of wildfires. As the City has become increasingly developed over time, the amount of land where wildfires could emerge has shrunk. Nevertheless, some parts of Seal Beach’s natural areas or areas in its surroundings have experienced wildfire. In 2016, a brush fire in a freeway embankment was reportedly ignited by a stray emergency flare near the College Park East area. The fire caused no property damage or personal harm and was quickly extinguished (Los Alamitos Patch 2017). In 2014, the Los Alamitos Wetlands in neighboring Long Beach caught fire, burning nearly five acres of habitat space and causing evacuations of adjacent businesses and hotels. No property damage or personal injuries were reported (Yee 2014). Although the incident occurred in Long Beach, the fire was close enough to potentially send embers across the San Gabriel River into the Seal Beach side of the wetlands, spreading the fire into the City. Risk of Future Events Urban fires: The presence of a high number of wood-frame structures in Seal Beach means that there is a likelihood that urban fires will keep erupting in the City. There is always a chance of arson or improper handling of flammable materials that could spark a blaze through a segment of the community. The Seal Beach pier seems to be at an unending risk of future fire unless either the electrical systems are continually monitored and maintained or the pier is reconstructed with non-flammable materials, such as steel, masonry, or concrete. A series of natural gas transmission lines passes through Seal Beach. Seismic activity or an accidental breach could cause any of them and the surrounding land to ignite in flames. Wildfires: Given how little undeveloped land remains in Seal Beach that the City directly controls, it is unlikely that the City will be affected by a wildfire of any significance. The National Wildlife Refuge, located on the Naval Weapons Station, is mostly undeveloped and has extensive vegetation that could potentially catch fire. There are also several smaller pockets of undeveloped areas that could pose a threat. A small, undeveloped wooded section to the immediate west of the Hellman Ranch community, called Gum Grove Park, has a series of eucalyptus trees that could catch fire. The Los Cerritos Wetlands, located north of the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and First Street, also has some natural areas that could be at risk of wildfire. The risk of wildfire in these areas is low, however. Climate Change Considerations Urban fires: Given the unique circumstances under which urban fires begin, the connection between climate change and urban fires is not well established. There may be some indirect links, however, that can exacerbate urban fires. As was observed during the California wildfires in the autumn of 2017, a series of simultaneous, mass wildfires may preoccupy local, regional, and state firefighting resources, preventing small-scale urban fires from being adequately addressed. Wildfires: Climate change is expected to increase the risk of wildfire. Hotter temperatures and more severe droughts as a result of climate change are likely to increase the amount of potential wildfire fuel. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-30 Tree Mortality Fire hazards and tree mortality are expected to contribute to one another. For example, dying or dead trees are more likely to catch fire and thus accelerate the spread and associated risks of both urban and wildland fires. Conversely, fire hazards can lead to the mass burning and subsequent die-off of vegetation, including trees. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RELEASE For the purposes of this plan, this section discusses all nonnuclear and nonradiological hazardous materials release events. Events relating to the release of radiological material are addressed in the City’s Emergency Operations Plan and thus it is not deemed necessary to discuss them here. Description Hazardous materials release refers to a hazard event whereby an amount of hazardous or toxic substances are released by accident. Such instances may include events where substances on contaminated sites percolate into the water table of adjacent properties, a tanker spills its contents on rights-of-way, events when toxic materials are mishandled and released into the local atmosphere, and other events. Some population groups, due to their location, may be at heightened risk for these hazards. For example, residents or property owners close to highways or gas stations may be at heightened risk of being victims of a hazardous materials release. Situations like this may pose an environmental justice problem if these residents or property owners come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Environmental justice refers to the equal treatment of all socioeconomic groups under environmental laws, regulations, and land use decisions. When certain groups are inordinately impacted by these laws in a certain area, action is required to remedy the injustice. Location and Extent According to the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)’s EnviroStor database, Seal Beach has identified three sites or properties with hazardous materials located in the area of Old Seal Beach: · Former Shell Station: DTSC is actively leading cleanup and ongoing site investigation. · Eaves Seal Beach: Remediation of on-site hazardous materials has been started but it has not been executed to a point that would allow unrestricted land uses on this site. · Former Exxon Mobil Seal Beach Separation Center: Cleanup transferred to local agency through SB 1248. There are a few other hazardous materials sites that DTSC has identified in Seal Beach, but they have been remediated to a point that they are no longer considered a major threat. Figure 3-8 shows sites and areas in Seal Beach that are contaminated or store hazardous materials. In addition to these locations, Naval Weapons Station – Seal Beach also contains hazardous materials sites that require remediation, however these sites are not depicted on the accompanying figure since they are located on an active military installation. Remediation activities are currently underway to address these sites by the Federal government. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-31 Figure 3-8: Hazardous Materials Sites Map City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-32 The Naval Weapons Station is of particular concern with regard to hazardous materials release in Seal Beach. There are approximately five groundwater cleanup sites either on or next to the Naval Weapons Station. The State has evaluated the base as having more groundwater cleanup sites than 72 percent of all other census tracts in California (OEHHA 2018a). There are also nine water-impairment sites in the facility, meaning that it is more polluted than 81 percent of the rest of the state (OEHHA 2018). The Naval Weapons Stations also ranks as having higher air toxicity and higher pesticide use than 94 percent of California (OEHHA 2018c, 2018d). Furthermore, residents of the Leisure World community are identified by the California State Office of Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment as being particularly vulnerable to hazardous materials release. Due the community’s proximity to a regional freeway interchange and the Naval Weapons Stations as well as the advanced age of the residents, it is likely that hazardous materials events would have a greater impact on the residents compared to elsewhere in the city. Leisure World is already ranked by the State of California as one of the worst communities in the state in terms of its air quality. The community is also located near five cleanup sites and was ranked in 2016 as having 83 percent more cleanup sites in its vicinity than other census tracts in California (OEHHA 2018b). The infrastructure that runs through Seal Beach creates additional risks of hazardous material releases. Gas transmission lines run through the City, and an event such as a construction accident has the potential to release any amount of gas into the community and greater region at large. In severe situations, Seal Beach may also be at risk from hazardous materials release events in the region. Seal Beach is located within the air basin of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) (SCAQMD 1999). With the right prevailing wind conditions, airborne toxic material could spread to and impact various parts of SCAQMD’s air basin, including sections or all of Seal Beach. Additionally, Seal Beach is at the mouths of the San Gabriel River and the Bolsa Chica Channel. Any hazardous materials that are released upstream have the potential to affect any of the downstream cities and communities, including Seal Beach. Residents of the Surfside community may be at particular risk of such events since hazardous materials released into the Bolsa Chica Channel may have long-term impacts on Anaheim Bay if proper countermeasures are not swiftly implemented. Past Events Much of the hazardous materials release in Seal Beach has occurred at the Naval Weapons Station. From the 1950s to 1973, various lubricants and solvents were disposed of at the base’s landfill, referred to as Site 7. Record keeping beginning in 1954 also shows that wastes and byproducts from oil production were disposed of at “Oil Island,” referred to as Site 22. A skeet-shooting range, referred to as Site 74, was in use The Naval Weapons Station is a potential source of hazardous material releases. Image from Ken Lund. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-33 from the 1960s to 1990s and contains wastes including lead- and antimony-based materials (US Navy 2007). In 1992, it was reported that the Naval Weapons Station had more than 27 drums and an open-air container of napalm waste, in violation of national environmental law. The Environmental Protection Agency of California subsequently fined the military base for this and 17 other violations for nearly $200,000 (Dizon 1992). Risk of Future Events Given how highly unpredictable hazardous materials release events are, there is always a potential risk for hazardous materials release in Seal Beach. There are a number of busy roadways bisecting or passing near the city. These include I-405, I-605, SR-1, and SR-22 as well as major arterials such as Seal Beach and Westminster Boulevards. Any one of these could carry vehicles transporting hazardous materials at any time. A collision involving a vehicle carrying hazardous materials could endanger the Seal Beach community. The Naval Weapons Station has activity that continues to release hazardous materials into the environment and has inactive hazardous materials sites that have yet to be remediated. At this time of writing, this includes the base’s landfills, the old skeet range, and the Saturn Rocket testing site. There is the potential risk that the facility could be harboring hazardous military ordnance that could put the Seal Beach community in danger. The military base also features federally owned railroads. These could transport hazardous materials or military ordnance that would endanger the base personnel and greater community in the event of a rail accident. This was the case in a 1973 railyard incident near Sacramento, when a train carrying a 250-pound bomb had an accident that caused the weapon to detonate. The ensuing explosion destroyed the railyard (City of Seal Beach 2017). Apart from the Naval Weapons Station, there are number of unremediated, inactive hazardous materials sites around the city—many of these are former gas stations. Future seismic activity could potentially cause the on-site contaminants to spread to other properties. Climate Change Considerations The connection between climate change and hazardous materials release events is tenuous. Increases in average global temperature and changes in weather patterns are not expected to trigger the release of hazardous materials or toxic substances. The effects of climate change, however, may disperse the impacts of such events to areas that may not have otherwise been affected. For example, higher and more powerful winds may spread airborne hazardous materials to areas outside the immediate vicinity of the release event. More frequent and severe rainstorms may heighten the likelihood that released hazardous materials intrude into the regional watershed. Tree Mortality The release of hazardous materials can directly impact the health of trees and other plant life, even leading to their death. A regional hazardous materials event, for example, may infiltrate the groundwater table, leading to the death of tree specimens in Seal Beach that depend upon the regional water supply. The death of trees is not known to trigger the release of hazardous materials. It may, however, play an City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-34 indicator role as to whether or not hazardous materials are contaminating the air or water that trees rely upon. SEISMIC HAZARDS A seismic hazard is any event that originates from tectonic activity. This hazard group includes fault ruptures, liquefaction, and seismic shaking. Tsunamis, which are usually generated by seismic activity, has been grouped into the Coastal Inundation hazard group since it is a hazard that would likely only impact the coastal section of Seal Beach. Description All seismic hazards originate from earthquakes that occur as a result of the movement of the tectonic plates beneath the Earth’s surface. Tectonic plates are large pieces of Earth upon which the crust rests. Though it may not be readily apparent to humans, the tectonic plates are constantly moving past each other, usually at a rate of a few inches per year. As one plate moves against or past another, they catch onto each other from time to time, becoming stuck. Since the plates are still in motion, the energy driving the plates’ movement is still present and accumulates the longer the plates remain caught. Eventually, the energy reaches a critical mass when the resistance is so great that the plates violently unlock from one another, like a springboard being released. This sudden movement dissipates the accumulated energy into the rest of the Earth, including the crust upon which humans live. When this energy arrives at the surface it can cause seismic shaking, fault ruptures, and liquefaction. These individual hazards are described below: Fault Rupture: Fault rupture is the rapid ground movement along a boundary between two different sections of the earth’s surface, known as a fault. The fault rupture sometimes creates a physical displacement of land at the surface which can be dangerous for people in the vicinity. This is not true in every case, however, as some fault ruptures do not disturb the land—these faults are known “blind thrust” faults. Most of the significant fault rupturing in California has occurred along the boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate, which is known as the San Andreas Fault. The constant friction between these two plates has caused fracturing and rupturing amongst the plates themselves, creating smaller, more local fault lines. These faults are capable of causing seismic activity on their own. Faults can rupture in a number of different ways based upon how the plates along the fault boundary interact with each other. They can cause vertical displacement (a dip-slip fault), horizontal displacement (a strike-slip fault), or both vertical and horizontal displacement concurrently (oblique-slip fault). Liquefaction: Liquefaction is the result of seismic energy being released into water-saturated soil or into loosely-packed geologic material such as sand or silt. Since these materials are not firmly bound together, they seem to behave like a liquid when the seismic energy interacts with them. When this occurs, the ground situated on these areas loses its integrity, which can damage any structures or harm people in these zones of liquefaction. Additionally, utility lines or water pipes that span these areas are at risk of being broken. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-35 Seismic shaking: Seismic shaking is the shaking of the ground when seismic energy from an earthquake reaches the surface of the Earth. Not all seismic shaking is necessarily dangerous. Many seismic events occur multiple times a day during any given week but are virtually undetectable because the energy they release is relatively small. On the other hand, seismic shaking caused by large earthquakes can be extremely destructive. Seismic shaking can damage or completely destroy buildings, structures, and pieces of infrastructure located within the epicenter or surroundings of an earthquake. Subterranean pipes, conduits, and telecommunication lines can be damaged or severed during seismic shaking events. Hazardous materials stored underground or transported through pipelines can also be released during seismic shaking, endangering the populations in the area because of toxic exposure. Location and Extent Fault Rupture: Any areas within the vicinity of a fault boundary will be impacted during a significant seismic event. Therefore, only faults running through or directly near the periphery of Seal Beach will cause any sort of impact. There are two fault lines that pass through Seal Beach: the Reservoir Hill fault line and the Seal Beach fault line (CGS 2010). Both of those faults are part of the regional Newport-Inglewood fault, which originates in the area around Santa Monica and runs down to Newport Beach, at which point it continues southward offshore. The most recent significant rupture of this fault (the 1933 Long Beach earthquake) did not cause any surface rupture (SCEDC 2013a). Figure 3-9 shows regional fault lines and their location relative to Seal Beach. Liquefaction: The majority of Seal Beach is at risk of liquefaction. These areas consist of the coastline (the beach in front of Eisenhower Park and the Surfside community), the Los Alamitos Wetlands, the National Wildlife Refuge and Naval Weapons Station, the vicinity of the Los Alamitos Retarding Basin, College Park East, Leisure World, the Old Ranch Country Club, and the adjacent residential community. Areas bordering Seal Beach, such as unincorporated Rossmoor, Long Beach, Los Alamitos, Garden Grove, and Huntington Beach are also included in this liquefaction zone (CGS 2017). There is no standardized scale for measuring liquefaction events. Figure 3-10 depicts the areas of the City susceptible to liquefaction. Seismic shaking: Any seismic shaking from local or regional faults will most likely be felt in Seal Beach. In areas with looser soil, the shaking may seem more intense. Seismic shaking is generally measured using the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale, which evaluates the shaking based on the amount of damage in the area. The MMI scale uses Roman numerals on a 12-point scale. Table 3-9 shows the MMI scale. KEY TERMS Spectral Acceleration: The maximum acceleration experienced by a building or other structure during an earthquake. Period: The time it takes to complete one cycle of a seismic wave, measured in seconds or fractions of a second. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-36 TABLE 3-9: MODIFIED MERCALLI INTENSITY SCALE Intensity Description Description I Instrumental Felt only by a very few people, under especially favorable conditions. II Feeble Felt only by a few people at rest, especially on the upper floors of buildings. III Slight Noticeable by people indoors, especially on upper floors, but not always recognized as an earthquake. IV Moderate Felt by many indoors, and by some outdoors. Sleeping people may be awakened. Dishes, windows, and doors are disturbed. V Slightly strong Felt by nearly everyone, and many sleeping people are awakened. Some dishes and windows broken, and unstable objects overturned. VI Strong Felt by everyone. Some heavy furniture is moved, and there is slight damage. VII Very strong Negligible damage in well-built buildings, slight to moderate damage in ordinary buildings, and considerable damage in poorly-built buildings. VIII Destructive Slight damage in well-built buildings, considerable damage and partial collapse in ordinary buildings, and great damage in poorly-built buildings. IX Ruinous Considerable damage in specially designed structures. Great damage and partial collapse in substantial buildings, and buildings are shifted off foundations. X Disastrous Most foundations and buildings with masonry or frames are destroyed, along with some well-built wood structures. Rail lines are bent. XI Very disastrous Most or all masonry structures are destroyed, along with bridges. Rail lines are greatly bent. XII Catastrophic Damage is total. The lines of sight are distorted, and objects are thrown into the air. Source: USGS 2017a. Another indirect measure of seismic shaking measures the energy released by the fault rupture—the moment magnitude scale (MMS, denoted as Mw or simply M). The MMS begins at 1.0 and increases as the energy of the earthquake grows. The MMS is a logarithmic scale, meaning that the difference between numbers on the scale multiplies as they get bigger. For example, an earthquake with 5.0 Mw is approximately 1.4 times greater than 4.9 Mw, 32 times greater 4.0 Mw, and 1,000 times greater than 3.0 Mw. The MMS has replaced the Richter scale since the MMS is generally more accurate at measuring large-scale seismic events. Figure 3-11 shows the shaking potential for the City of Seal Beach, as well as the locations of various critical facilities within the City. The data depicted illustrates the intensity of shaking in relation to earth’s gravity (g). When there is an earthquake, the forces caused by the shaking can be measured as a percentage of gravity, or percent g.

It was the most destructive earthquake in the United States in nearly 100 years, damaged more than 4,000 buildings, and destroyed multiple freeways across the Greater Los Angeles Area (Risk Management Solutions 2004). Liquefaction: While Seal Beach does not have a history of liquefaction, other nearby communities have experienced liquefaction events within the last century. During the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, for instance, the Bolsa Chica area and sections of Long Beach are recorded as experiencing liquefaction, with damage to pavement and cracks forming in the ground. “Mud volcanoes” are recorded as having formed near the northern end of Seal Beach during the same event (California Department of Conservation 1998). Seismic shaking: Significant earthquakes have been felt in Seal Beach in the past, including the 1994 Northridge earthquake and the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake. Although other earthquakes have caused extensive regional damage, none of them caused substantive damage in Seal Beach in recorded history. Table 3-10 shows major earthquakes (at least 6.0 Mw) within 100 miles of downtown Seal Beach. TABLE 3-10: SIGNIFICANT EARTHQUAKES WITHIN 150 MILES OF SEAL BEACH Event Name Distance (Miles)* Magnitude 1812 Wrightwood earthquake 51 (approximately) 7.5 1910 Elsinore earthquake 38 6.0 1918 San Jacinto earthquake 70 6.8 1923 North San Jacinto Fault earthquake 52 6.3 1933 Long Beach earthquake 10 6.4 1937 Terwilliger Valley earthquake 108 6.0 1948 Desert Hot Springs earthquake 100 6.0 1954 San Jacinto Fault earthquake 115 6.4 1968 Borrego Mountain earthquake 121 6.5 1971 San Fernando earthquake 49 6.5 1992 Joshua Tree earthquake 104 6.1 1992 Landers earthquake 101 7.3 1992 Big Bear earthquake 80 6.4 1994 Northridge earthquake 41 6.7 Source: SCEDC 2011. * Distance between epicenter and downtown Seal Beach Risk of Future Events Fault Rupture: Any place that lies within a fault zone is potentially at risk of a fault rupture at any time, including Seal Beach. While many fault lines have been plotted and mapped, it is safe to assume that there are undiscovered fault lines that can trigger a seismic event. This was the case with the Northridge earthquake, which occurred on a blind fault (SCEDC 2013b). Many of the discovered faults have been active within the last century and it can therefore be assumed that they will continue to be active in the near future. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 3-41 Liquefaction: Given that the majority of Seal Beach lies in a designated liquefaction zone, the City is always at risk of experiencing a liquefaction event. This is especially true given that liquefaction events have occurred in the immediate vicinity of Seal Beach in the past in association with strong earthquakes. Recent evidence suggests that an earthquake of a magnitude 7.5 or greater along the Newport-Inglewood fault could dramatically impact the National Wildlife Refuge and Naval Weapons Station, resulting in liquefaction and subsidence of up to three feet of the land on which they sit (Coker 2017; Leeper et al. 2017). It should be noted, however, that seismic events of this scale are rare in Seal Beach and the surrounding area. Seismic shaking: Since Seal Beach lies in a seismically active area and given that Seal Beach has experienced seismic shaking in the recent past, it is likely that the City will continue to experience seismic shaking both in the near and distant future. The Third Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF3) was released in 2015 and shows the overall likelihood of major earthquake occurrences on various faults between 2015 and 2044. Table 3-11 shows the results of UCERF3 for key fault lines near Seal Beach. TABLE 3-11: EARTHQUAKE PROBABILITIES FOR KEY FAULTS NEAR SEAL BEACH (2015-2044) Fault Distance (Miles)* Probability 6.7+ Mw 7.0+ Mw 7.5+ Mw 8.0+ Mw Newport-Inglewood <1 0.91% 0.84% 0.43% Negligible Palos Verdes 8 3.08% 2.84% 0.09% Negligible San Joaquin Hills 11 0.40% 0.38% 0.24% Negligible Whittier 23 1.45% 1.26% 0.66% <0.01% Elysian Park 24 1.26% 0.78% 0.07% Negligible Sierra Madre 32 1.10% 1.06% 0.72% 0.03% Elsinore 35 3.66% 1.82% 0.90% <0.01% San Jacinto 59 5.32% 5.31% 5.20% 2.74% San Andreas† 73 19.29% 13.20% 10.92% 3.04% Source: USGS 2015. Note: UCERF3 results consist of two individual models (3.1 and 3.2), each of which provides rupture probabilities for each segment of the fault. This table shows the maximum probability for a section of the fault in either model. * Distance between downtown Seal Beach and the nearest point of the fault. All distances are approximate. † Southern California segments only. In addition to the UCERF3 predictions, the US Geological Survey forecasts the severity of seismic shaking in different locations for various plausible earthquake scenarios. Table 3-12 shows the anticipated shaking in Seal Beach from some of these scenarios. The US Geological Survey scenarios show that the Newport-Inglewood fault could cause the strongest seismic shaking in Seal Beach, followed by the Palos Verdes, Elsinore, San Joaquin Hills faults. Other faults, like the Sierra Madre and San Andreas faults, could cause sizeable shaking but due to their distance from Seal Beach, their impacts on the city would not be as extreme or devastating as closer faults.

Climate Change Considerations Fault Rupture: There is no demonstrable connection between climate change and fault line activity that could cause adverse effects for Seal Beach or other communities. Liquefaction: Changes in precipitation patterns could affect groundwater levels, which could in turn affect the susceptibility of soils in Seal Beach to liquefaction. At this time, however, there is no evidence to suggest that climate change affects liquefaction events in a substantial way. Seismic shaking: There is no evidence of any link between climate change and seismic activity that could affect conditions in Seal Beach,3 so climate change is not expected to cause any changes to the frequency or severity of earthquake events. Tree Mortality Seismic events, like fault ruptures, liquefaction, or seismic shaking, have no direct link to tree mortality. The death of a tree or group of trees does not trigger seismic events. Seismic events, however, may cause the death of a few trees due to shaking that may uproot or fell some specimens. Secondary effects of seismic events, such as downed power lines or broken gas lines, may harm or kill trees if fires are ignited as a result. Broken water lines may also lead to tree mortality if irrigation is not restored for a long period of time. 3 Melting land ice as a result of climate change decreases the weight on the land and increases the weight on ocean floors, and there is some evidence that this redistribution of weight may affect stresses on faults, changing earthquake patterns. However, this connection is disputed, and there is currently no evidence that such a connection would cause a significant change in seismic activity in the region of Seal Beach (Hampel et al. 2010; McGuire 2010). City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-1 CHAPTER 4 4. THREAT AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT The threat assessment process looks at the harm that each hazard event discussed in Chapter 3 may cause in three different areas: the physical threat to key facilities, the threat to vulnerable populations, and the threat to any other community assets (noncritical facilities, key services, etc.). CRITICAL FACILITIES Critical facilities consist of properties and structures that play important roles in government operations and the services they provide to the community. Examples of critical facilities include local government offices and yards, water wells, water pumps, public safety buildings like police and fire stations, schools, and any other properties a city has deemed essential for its operations. Critical facilities sometimes also serve dual roles if a city designates them as points of public assembly during an emergency. Critical facilities are often owned by the city but many are also owned and operated privately, such as some utilities and telecommunication infrastructure. The Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee identified 76 critical facilities in Seal Beach that fall into 7 different categories based on their function. Table 4-1 shows the number of critical facilities and facilities of concern in each category, the total estimated value of the facilities in each category, and examples of the facilities in each. Appendix D has a complete list of the critical facilities and the facilities of concern. The potential loss value is the total insured value of the critical facilities that fall within the hazard zone. It is intended to provide the ballpark estimate of the cost of replacement if the property is completely or severely damaged. Actual costs of repair could be smaller or larger than the provided estimate. The data was provided by the city’s CJPIA Property Schedule and therefore, information for facilities not owned by the city are not shown (e.g. bridges, private buildings). In some instances, replacement cost information was not made available. Where this occurs (N/A) has been used within the table.

Critical facilities within hazard zones have an elevated risk of being damaged or completely destroyed during a hazard event. If such damage occurs, repair or reconstruction is necessary to return any damaged facilities to their operational capacity. It is still possible for facilities oustside zones of elevated risk to be affected by such events, though the risk is lower. The physical assessment was based on the latest available spatial data for each hazard. All critical facilities that spatially intersected with each hazard layer are threatened. This assessment is intended to guide the City as to where it should focus emergency preparedness and mitigation efforts. Slight inaccuracies are possible in the datasets; therefore, there could be more or fewer critical facilities threatened by each hazard. The hazard maps in Chapter 3 depict areas of maximum inundation or impact. The precise impact, extent, and magnitude would depend on the nature of the hazard event. Not all locations depicted in the hazard zone would necessarily be impacted by the hazard event at the same time (Wood et al. n.d.). Furthermore, although the maps do not depict a gradient of risk, some areas will be more at risk from a hazard event than others. For example, blocks that are closer to the coast would be more affected by a tsunami than blocks farther away but still within the hazard zone. VULNERABLE POPULATIONS A hazard event can have very different impacts on groups and individuals based on their age, socioeconomic status, physical and mental condition, other demographic factors, or living conditions that affect their resilience to natural hazards. For example, a hurricane or other extreme weather event can have a greater impact on older adults or those who suffer from chronic illnesses. It could hinder their ability to take their medications or access the services or technologies they depend on. Households with the following characteristics may be more vulnerable to hazards: · Households with at least one person with a disability: This includes households in which a person living with a disability lives alone or with others. Persons with disabilities may have reduced mobility or have challenges taking care of themselves. They may also have a limited ability to protect their homes or property or mitigate damages. · Households living below the poverty level: Households with an income below the poverty level are less likely to have the financial resources to prepare or cope with the impacts of hazard events. If a hazard event significantly disrupts the local economy, households living in poverty could face more challenges recovering from an event than the rest of the population. · Households with at least one person over 65: Persons over the age of 65 may have reduced mobility or suffer from medical conditions that affect their mental capabilities and ability to respond to or recover from a hazard event. A hazard event could also exacerbate existing health complications or injuries in the aftermath of an event. Senior citizens living alone are especially at risk because they may not have a network to reach out to for help before, during, or after a hazard event. Table 4-2 shows how many people in Seal Beach meet one of the metrics for threatened populations. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-3 TABLE 4-2: SEAL BEACH THREATENED-POPULATION METRICS Vulnerable Population Metric Seal Beach Seal Beach Total Households 12,413 Percentage of households with one or more individuals living with a disability 31% Percentage of households with income below poverty line 9.5% Percentage of households with at least one senior citizens (age 65+) 55% Percentage of households that consist of a senior citizen (age 65+) living alone 30.5% Source: Esri 2018, ACS 2012-2016 There are other vulnerable populations not captured in the above dataset because of lack of accurate data or counts. These groups include people living in homelessness, individuals without access to vehicles or communication lifelines, and undocumented immigrants. Hazard events could lead to secondary impacts on a community. They could result in long-term disruptions to important services, infrastructure networks, natural ecosystems, or local economic activities. HAZARD THREAT ASSESSMENT COASTAL INUNDATION COASTAL FLOODING AND STORMS Coastal flooding and storm incidents have the capability of impacting different areas of the City. Low-lying coastal areas typically experience flooding due to storm surge and runoff during heavy precipitation events. In addition to the beaches, many of the areas depicted in Figure 3-5 are most susceptible to coastal flooding. For additional discussion of the impacts associated within flooding within Seal Beach, refer to the Flooding discussion below. EROSION Although erosion hazard zones have not been mapped on a local scale in Seal Beach, the greatest risk of erosion is along the coast as a result of longshore drift, a process in which tides and storm waves carry sand away from the beach. One effect of engineered structures, such as dams and storm channels, is to reduce the natural flow of sediment to beaches, thus narrowing their width. All structures on the beach are threatened by coastal erosion, including Eisenhower Park, the Marine Safety Building/Lifeguard Headquarters, and all structures on the Seal Beach Pier, including the police substation. TSUNAMI HAZARDS Key Facilities There are 26 critical facilities within Seal Beach’s tsunami hazard zone, including City Hall, the Lifeguard Headquarters, Fire Station 44, and several pump and lift stations (see Table 4-3). Due to the number of municipal departments in this area, it is important that the City identify alternative locations so that government departments can continue operations during a hazard event. In addition, a tsunami could inundate the Highway 1 bridge that crosses the San Gabriel River and leads into Long Beach, as well as Seal Beach Boulevard south of Pacific Coast Highway. These are major roads that lead out of the coastal City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-4 neighborhood of the city. Damage to these roads from a tsunami could hinder the evacuation of people from the inundation zone. TABLE 4-3: TSUNAMI ZONE FACILITIES Category Tsunami Potential Loss Community Services 2 $1,690,090 Government Facility 5 $10,849,099 Miscellaneous 0 0 Parks and Recreation 6 $512,965 Sewage 6 $1,203,700 Transportation 7 N/A Water 0 0 Source: City of Seal Beach CJPIA Property Schedule, November 27, 2017 Vulnerable Populations In 1946, a system of buoys was installed along the Pacific Coast in response to a deadly tsunami in Hawaii and Northern California. This tsunami detection and warning system can alert residents that a tsunami is approaching within 30 minutes or more, depending on the distance. However, people who are linguistically isolated or lack access to lifelines may not receive notification of potential or impending tsunamis. Elderly or disabled persons or those without access to vehicles may be unable to evacuate if a tsunami does occur. Residents in the tsunami hazard zone are not uniquely socially vulnerable compared to other community members. Table 4-4 shows that the tsunami inundation zone does not have a significant number of households living under the poverty limit, persons living with a disability, or persons who are senior citizens. TABLE 4-4: TSUNAMI HAZARD ZONE THREATENED POPULATION METRICS Threatened Population Metric Tsunami Hazard Zone City of Seal Beach Population 6,112 24,367 Households 3,012 12,413 Percentage of households with one or more individuals living with a disability 16% 31% Area median income $81,189 $53,818 Percentage of households under the poverty limit 9.2% 9.5% Percentage of households with at least one senior citizen 15.3% 55.0% Percentage of households that consist of a senior citizen living alone 8.9% 30.5% Source: Esri 2018, ACS 2012-2016. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-5 Other Threats Approximately 25 percent of the City’s total households live within the tsunami inundation area. In addition, many businesses are in the downtown area south of Pacific Coast Highway. The impact of a tsunami to the local economy would be devastating. Due to the high number of residents living in the tsunami zone, training, education, and signs informing residents or visitors of tsunami risks in the downtown area of Seal Beach are important. Due to the proximity to the coast, residents and visitors must be aware of the threat or be able to identify the signs of an approaching tsunami and know when to evacuate, in case official warnings arrive too late (Wood et al. n.d.). The downtown area also attracts a large visitor population. Visitors with limited mobility, with limited English, or without access to mobile alert systems may not be able to prepare for or swiftly evacuate a tsunami zone. SEA LEVEL RISE Key Facilities At the higher end of projected future conditions, sea levels are expected to rise approximately two feet along the California coast by 2050 (NRC 2012). There are only two critical facilities that would be affected by this change in sea level. However, by 2100, sea level is expected to rise to a maximum of five feet. In this case, residential neighborhoods, businesses, and a significant portion of the Naval Weapons Station would be permanently inundated (see Table 4-5). The downtown area would become an island. This outcome would have serious consequences for the local economy of Seal Beach. TABLE 4-5: SEA LEVEL RISE FACILITIES Category Sea Level Rise 2 ft. (2050) Potential Loss Sea Level Rise 5 ft.

By 2100, sea level rise will affect 2,506 people and 1,120 households. This population does not exhibit greater social vulnerability than the population of the city as a whole (see Table 4-6). City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-6 TABLE 4-6: SEA LEVEL RISE HAZARD ZONE THREATENED POPULATION METRICS Threatened Population Metric Sea Level Rise 2 ft. (2050) Sea Level Rise 5 ft.

Sea level rise in the long term would have a significant impact on the city’s economy, due the presence of a large portion of the city’s residents and businesses within the hazard zone. EXTREME WEATHER Physical Threat Extreme weather could affect all parts of Seal Beach, meaning all critical facilities throughout the City are at risk. The two most common extreme weather events that could affect Seal Beach are high winds and extreme heat. High Winds and Storms (including Tornadoes and Water Spouts) Intense winds likely pose the greatest threat to physical structures, particularly from trees or branches that fall on buildings and cause substantial damage. Older structures that have deferred maintenance or have not been retrofitted to withstand high winds may suffer greater damage than newer/updated structures. Utility lines and wooden utility poles face an elevated threat from wind, as do buildings without reinforced roofs. High winds can also hurl debris on rights-of-way, which could block evacuation routes or restrict movement of emergency response vehicles. In the rare event of a Tornado/Water Spout event, similar impacts would be anticipated. Heat Waves and Droughts Droughts typically do not cause physical damage, but the decrease in water use and subsequent wastewater generation can reduce the flushing out of debris in wastewater pipes, which can decrease system efficiency. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-7 Drought can make critical facilities more susceptible to damage from other hazards. When the natural environment is dry, parks and natural preserves in Seal Beach are more at risk of wildfires. Additionally, droughts make soil harder and less able to absorb water, which could intensify flood events and the harm to critical facilities within floodplains when rain occurs. Long heatwaves can cause roads to deform and buckle because concrete, like other materials, will expand under heat. Weaker spots in the pavement, such as areas that have not been maintained well, are more prone to deform under heat. Therefore, longer and more frequent heat waves will require regular road maintenance and repair, which could become costly. Social Threat High Winds and Storms (including Tornadoes and Water Spouts) Events such as high winds and storms can harm people throughout Seal Beach. Homeless persons and persons who work outdoors are more likely to be exposed to these hazards, increasing the threat of injury or mortality. Lower-income households may not be able to afford to retrofit their homes or live in homes built to more rigorous standards and may be at greater risk for harm. In the rare event of a Tornado/Water Spout event, similar impacts would be anticipated. Heat Waves and Drought Heatwaves can catch people unprepared, especially if a person has an isolated living situation or suffers from chronic illnesses, which could be the case for elderly or disabled persons. Mitigation actions could include notifying residents of impending heat waves several days in advance so that persons with limited mobility or medical conditions can make preparations in advance, such as acquiring fans or cooling units or preparing emergency supply kits that include water. The elderly, children, and people who suffer from certain medical conditions are especially at risk of heat-related health complications. Social factors that include race, ethnicity, poverty, and education level can affect a person’s access to resources and knowledge that enables them to protect themselves during heatwaves. Under drought conditions, water rates increase and residents may be fined for excessive water use. Depending on how rates and fines are structured, this could have a disproportionate impact on lower- income persons, who may not have the financial resources to afford increased water bills and fines on top of other bills. Additionally, community members who work in businesses that suffer during a drought or in industries that rely on large amounts of water could experience financial hardship from lower pay or by losing their job. Persons living in homelessness are at a high risk of health complications during heat waves, especially persons who are unsheltered. According to data counts by the OC Health Care Agency, in 2017, there were approximately 4,800 homeless individuals in the County, with over 50 percent unsheltered, approximately 25 percent in emergency shelters, and 20 percent in transitional shelters (OC PITC 2017). During a heat wave, homeless individuals might have limited access to a city-designated cooling center and are very vulnerable to heat-strokes and heat-related deaths, particularly if they are living unsheltered. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-8 FLOODING Physical Threat A 100-year flood would impact coastal areas along the beach, the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, the Los Cerritos Wetlands, and Gum Grove Park. Although the Naval Weapons Station has not been assigned a flood zone by FEMA, flooding could potentially impact the facilities and materials located within. None of the areas within Seal Beach would be significantly inundated by a 500-year storm, however, environmental conditions could cause floodplain maps to change in the future. Table 4-7 shows the key facilities that would be affected by 100- and 500-year floods and potential losses. TABLE 4-7: KEY FACILITIES IN FLOOD HAZARD ZONE Category 100 Year Potential Loss 500 Year Potential Loss Community Services 0 0 0 0 Government Facility 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous 0 0 0 0 Parks and Recreation 0 0 0 0 Sewage 2 $763,906 0 0 Transportation 9 N/A 2 N/A Water 1 $1,764,044.00 0 0 Source: City of Seal Beach CJPIA Property Schedule, November 27, 2017 Social Threat Approximately 263 people live in the FEMA-mapped 100-year flood zone. The median household income in this area is slightly less than the City’s average, and a higher proportion of people live under the poverty limit. Additionally, the proportion of seniors in this area is greater than the City average. Lower-income persons in flood-prone areas may be unable to afford flood insurance premiums or flood-proofing improvements to their homes, so they may face disproportionate harm from flood events. Persons with mobility challenges or lack of access to vehicles may have difficulty evacuating from a serious flood event, particularly a flash flood. Table 4-8 shows the populations that are vulnerable to flooding. Other Threats Floodwaters can block roadways because several inches of water is enough to stall cars, and rushing water as shallow as one foot is enough to sweep away small vehicles. Floodwaters can also carry debris that can block roadways, hindering transit, emergency response services, and evacuations. Although rare, serious floods that erode soil around water, wastewater, and natural gas pipes may interrupt these services. Serious damage to a large number of homes or businesses may slow economic activity in Seal Beach until reconstruction activities finish.

The City is not located within wildfire hazard zones identified by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Older structures within the community that lack fire notification and protection improvements (smoke detectors, sprinklers, etc..) are especially vulnerable to this hazard. Social Threat With a large population of senior citizens (55% of households with one person 65+) the social threat of fire is very high within the community. Most senior citizens live on fixed incomes, which could be disproportionately impacted by fire incidents. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RELEASE Physical Threat Non-natural hazards are likely to be related to a natural hazard event of significant force, such as a flood, earthquake, or tsunami. Infrastructure failure could affect any critical facility or other structure in Seal Beach. Flooding that follows a tsunami, storm event, or rupture in wastewater infrastructure can carry hazardous materials far from their point of origin. There are three sites undergoing active cleanup or evaluation due to former activities on the site that involved fuel storage or chemical distribution. These activities involved hazardous materials, such as arsenic, lead, and volatile organic compounds (PCE’s and TCE’s) that can evaporate easily. These chemicals could have harmful effects on people, depending on how much and how long a person is exposed to them (ATSDR n.d.a). In particular, PCE’s and TCE’s could evaporate into the air and become exposed to persons occupying buildings located on the site (ATSDR n.d.). Three critical facilities are located City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-10 within 500 feet of these sites, Schooner Park, Marina Park and Community Center, and one pump station. Additionally, hazardous materials on the Naval Weapons Base could potentially cause a threat. Social Threat The health risks associated with arsenic, lead, PCEs, and TCEs are also dependent on gender, age, body size, and existing health issues (ATSDR n.d.b.). Pregnant women, adolescents, and children are particularly at risk. Lead exposure can affect can cause children and adolescents to be at risk of impaired immune systems, slowed growth and development, and hearing and speech problems and put pregnant women at risk of having miscarriage or pre-mature birth.4 Exposure to arsenic can lead to skin problems, stomachaches and nausea, and or cancer from long-term exposure.5 Exposure to TCE’s and PCE’s can put children, adolescents, and adults at risk of autoimmune diseases.6 SEISMIC HAZARDS Physical Threat Seismic hazards can damage buildings and facilities all over the community. Every structure in Seal Beach is at risk of earthquake damage, though the structures and facilities closest to the fault are the most likely to be damaged. As the closest fault to the City, the Newport-Inglewood fault line will mostly likely be the source of the greatest seismic-related damage in Seal Beach. There is one critical facility in the Alquist-Priolo zone that may be at risk of severe damage due to surface fault rupture during an earthquake. However, surrounding critical facilities could be severely impacted by secondary seismic events, such as liquefaction and tsunamis. As a result, the impact of a major earthquake would be likely devastating and extremely costly in Seal Beach. Table 4-9 shows that there is one water pump located in the Alquist-Priolo Zone.

City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-11 The majority of Seal Beach is at risk of liquefaction due the presence of wetlands and the high soil moisture content throughout the City. This does not necessarily mean that all of the City would experience liquefaction during strong seismic shaking, but liquefaction could nevertheless be a costly and severe impact. There are 60 critical facilities that are at risk of being affected by liquefaction (see Table 4-10).

Low-income persons stand to be more greatly impacted by seismic threats because they may not be able to afford housing that is seismically retrofitted. Senior citizens or persons living with disabilities may be less able to quickly evacuate. Table 4- 11 shows the social vulnerability of residents living in the Alquist-Priolo Zone. TABLE 4-11: ALQUIST-PRIOLO HAZARD ZONE THREATENED POPULATION METRICS Threatened Population Metric Alquist-Priolo Hazard Zone City of Seal Beach Population 65 24,367 Households 23 12,413 Percentage of households with one or more individuals living with a disability 21.7% 31% Area median income $150,000 $53,818 Percentage of households under the poverty limit 4.3% 9.5% Percentage of people who are senior citizens 21.5% 37.5% Percentage of households consists of a senior citizen living alone 8.7% 30.5% Source: Esri 2018, ACS 2012-2016. Over 70 percent of the Seal Beach population lives in the liquefaction hazard zone. Half of this population includes persons who are over the age of 65, and almost 40% of them are living alone. The number of people living with a disability or under the poverty limit is similar to the City as a whole. About 35% of the population lives with a disability and 10% of the households are living on the poverty limit. Table 4-12 shows the social vulnerability of residents living in the area. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 4-12 Other Threats Seismic hazards such as seismic shaking and liquefaction have a high likelihood of causing power, water, wastewater, natural gas, and communications outages or disruptions. This will likely impede the proper functioning of government operations or of key critical facilities, like medical facilities or senior care centers. Exceptional seismic events could cause major disruptions to the local economy.

HAZARD MITIGATION STRATEGY STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Seal Beach’s hazard mitigation strategy is a comprehensive set of actions that are intended to reduce the impacts of hazard events. These hazard mitigation actions will help to protect the safety and well-being of residents and visitors, critical facilities and facilities of concern, other buildings and structures, key services, the local economy, and other important community assets. Some actions will also help with emergency preparedness, allowing for a more effective community response to hazard events. Preparedness actions are not a required component of an LHMP, but they support and complement mitigation activities, and the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee chose to include them as part of the overall hazard mitigation strategy. USE OF HAZARD AND THREAT ASSESSMENT The Committee relied in part on the hazard profiles and threat assessments in this Plan to develop the actions in the mitigation strategy. The Committee prepared a comprehensive set of mitigation actions that respond to the relevant hazard situations and provide protection to residents, businesses, and community assets in Seal Beach. The Committee took care to ensure that the mitigation actions will help to reduce damage from the most frequent types of hazard events, the most significant that may reasonably occur, and those with the greatest potential to harm the community. The Committee also drafted mitigation actions that will help protect the most vulnerable members of the community and the most vulnerable local assets. CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT As part of the effort to draft mitigation actions, the Committee performed a capabilities assessment—a review of the existing local agencies, public policies, funding sources, individuals, and other resources that can support hazard mitigation activities in Seal Beach. The hazard mitigation actions build off of the existing success of these resources and leverage their capabilities to support improved resiliency in the community. The capabilities assessment looked at the following types of resources: · Personnel resources: City staff and volunteers, and staff and volunteers at other agencies. · Plan resource: Advisory or enforceable plans adopted by the City or other agencies. · Policy resource: Policies adopted and implemented by the City or other agencies. · Technical resource: Data and tools available to the City. Table 5-1 shows the capabilities assessment for Seal Beach. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 5-2 This page intentionally left blank. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 5-3 TABLE 5-1: CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENT Resource Name Type of Resource Ability to Support Mitigation Website City of Seal Beach Building Code Policy resource The Seal Beach Building Code and associated standards (Residential Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, etc.) govern how new buildings are constructed. They are published by the state and are adopted by local communities, sometimes with amendments to make the codes more locally applicable. Mitigation actions to construct buildings to a safer standard, allowing them to better resist damage during a hazard event, may be made part of future building code updates. http://www.sealbeachca.gov/Departments/Community-Development/Building-Safety Capital Improvement Plan Plan resource The Seal Beach Capital Improvement Plan is a set of construction projects planned for City-owned buildings, facilities, and infrastructure. It is updated every year as part of the City’s annual budget and includes projects for the next 5 years. Mitigation actions to retrofit existing City-owned structures or to build new ones that are better able to resist damage may be implemented by including these projects in the Capital Improvement Plan in the future. http://www.sealbeachca.gov/Departments/Public-Works/Capital-Improvement Community Development Department Personnel resource The Seal Beach Community Development Department is responsible for approving building permits, ensuring that buildings and private property comply with appropriate standards, and conducting short-term and long-term planning activities in the community. As part of these duties, the department enforces the Seal Beach Building Code and all land use regulations. Mitigation actions related to the construction of new structures or retrofits or improvements to existing structures may be implemented through future plan processing by Community Development Department staff. http://www.sealbeachca.gov/Departments/Community-Development Community Emergency Response Team Personnel resource The Seal Beach Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a group of volunteers trained in disaster preparedness, public safety, traffic control, and emergency response. CERT members can conduct disaster preparedness activities as well as light emergency response activities when disaster situations occur. The program is managed by the West Orange County Community Emergency Response Team. Mitigation actions related to community training and education may be further implemented through expansion of the CERT program. https://www.westcountycert.com Finance Department Personnel resource The Seal Beach Finance Department is responsible for preparing the City’s annual budget as well as other financial reports, and handles the receipt and distribution of City funds.

City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 5-9 EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL HAZARD MITIGATION ACTIONS The Committee prepared a set of potential mitigation actions based on the hazard profiles, threat assessment, and capabilities assessment; the results of the community survey; discussions among Committee members; and existing best practices. The Committee next evaluated these potential actions using FEMA criteria. FEMA requires local governments to evaluate the monetary and nonmonetary costs and benefits of potential mitigation actions. Although local governments are not required to assign specific dollar values to each action, they should identify the general size of costs and benefits. The Committee may elect to include measures that have a high cost or low benefits, but such measures should be clearly beneficial to the community and an appropriate use of local resources. In addition, FEMA directs local governments to consider the following questions as part of the financial analysis: · What is the frequency and severity of the hazard type to be addressed by the action, and how vulnerable is the community to this hazard? · What impacts of the hazard will the action reduce or avoid? · What benefits will the action provide to the community? · What critical facilities, if any, will benefit from the action? How many facilities will benefit, and how important are they to the community? · What are the environmental benefits or impacts of the action? The Committee also chose to review and revise the potential hazard mitigation actions using a third set of criteria, known as STAPLE/E (Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic, and Environmental). The Committee did not formally assess every potential mitigation action under all STAPLE/E criteria, but used the criteria to guide and inform discussion. The Committee also discussed how these criteria could be used to evaluate grant applications the City may submit to receive funding for LHMP implementation. Table 5-2 shows the STAPLE/E criteria. Warning signs, such as this tsunami hazard notice, can be high-priority measures because they are relatively inexpensive, visible, and highly beneficial to large numbers of people.

City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 5-10 PRIORITIZATION As part of the effort to review the hazard mitigation actions, the Committee also prioritized the actions. The prioritization efforts looked at the risks and threats from each hazard, financial costs and benefits, technical feasibility, and community values, among others. Committee members were asked to identify their priority actions through a vote. Items prioritized by at least four Committee members are considered high priority, and those prioritized by one to three members are considered medium priority. Actions not prioritized by any Committee member are considered low priority. TABLE 5-2: STAPLE/E CRITERIA Issue Criteria Social · Is the action socially acceptable to Seal Beach community members? · Would the action treat some individuals unfairly? · Is there a reasonable chance of the action causing a social disruption? Technical · Is the action likely to reduce the risk of the hazard occurring, or will it reduce the effects of the hazard? · Will the action create new hazards, or make existing hazards worse? · Is the action the most useful approach for Seal Beach to take, given the goals of the City and of community members? Administrative · Does the City have the administrative capabilities to implement the action? · Are there existing City staff who can lead and coordinate implementation of the measure, or can the City reasonably hire new staff for this role? · Does the City have enough staff, funding, technical support, and other resources to carry out implementation? · Are there administrative barriers to implementing the action? Political · Is the action politically acceptable to City officials and to other relevant jurisdictions and political entities? · Do community members support the action? Legal · Does the City have the legal authority to implement and enforce the action? · Are there potential legal barriers or consequences that could hinder or prevent implementation of the action? · Is there a reasonable chance that implementation of the action would expose the City to legal liabilities? · Could the action reasonably face other legal challenges? Economic · What are the monetary costs of the action, and do the costs exceed the monetary benefits? · What are the start-up and maintenance costs of the action, including administrative costs? · Has funding for action implementation been secured, or is a potential funding source available? · How will funding the action affect the City’s financial capabilities? · Could implementation of the action reasonably burden the Seal Beach economy or tax base? · Could there reasonably be other budgetary and revenue impacts to the City? Environmental · What are the potential environmental impacts of the action? · Will the action require environmental regulatory approvals? · Will the action comply with all applicable federal, state, regional, and local environmental regulations? · Will the action reasonably affect any endangered, threatened, or otherwise sensitive species of concern? City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 5-11 COST ESTIMATES To meet the cost estimation requirements of the hazard mitigation planning process, the Committee identified relative cost estimates based on their understanding of the mitigation action intent and their experience developing identical or similar programs/implementing projects. Three cost categories based on the City’s typical cost criteria were used for budgeting purposes: · Low cost ($): $33,000 or less7 · Medium cost ($$): $33,001 to $300,0008 · High cost ($$$): Greater than $300,0019 HAZARD MITIGATION ACTIONS HAZARD MITIGATION GOALS The goals identified in Chapter 1 help develop policies to protect community members, ecosystems, and other important assets from hazard events. These goals were developed to ensure consistency with the City’s General Plan Safety Element, which will be updated as part of this process. These goals informed the development of mitigation actions and act as checkpoints to help City staff determine the progress of mitigation action implementation. Based on the criteria and evaluation processes used during the Plan development, the Committee prepared a prioritized list of mitigation actions to improve Seal Beach’s resiliency to hazard events. Collectively, these are the community hazard mitigation strategy. Table 5-3 lists the mitigation actions as well as the prioritization of each action and other details related to implementation. 7 Determined using the maximum amount of money that can be spent the City Manager at any time, which is $33,000. 8 Determined using the dollar amount that is equal to one percent of the City’s annual budget, which is $300,000. 9 Anything larger than the dollar-equivalent of one percent of the City’s annual budjget.

City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 5-21 NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM Seal Beach participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which was created by Congress in 1968 to provide flood insurance at subsidized rates to homeowners who live in flood-prone areas. Individual communities have the option to participate in the NFIP, although property owners who live in nonparticipating communities with flood-prone areas will not be able to buy flood insurance through the program. Additionally, nonparticipating communities with mapped flood plains cannot receive federal grants or loans for development activities in flood-prone areas and cannot receive federal disaster assistance to repair flood-damaged buildings in mapped flood plains (FEMA 2018a). Seal Beach has participated in NFIP since 1976 (FEMA 2018b). Although participation is not a dedicated hazard mitigation action, Seal Beach will continue to participate in NFIP and comply with the program’s requirements through continued enforcement of the City’s Floodplain Management Ordinance (Title 9, Chapter 9.45 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code). This ordinance applies to land within the mapped 100-year floodplain and requires any construction activities in the 100-year floodplain to meet stricter standards to ensure that any new or retrofitted developments are more resilient to flood events. The ordinance also limits the types of land uses and activities in the 100-year floodplain (Seal Beach 2018). As part of the City’s efforts to comply with NFIP, Seal Beach will make updates and revisions to the Floodplain Management Ordinance to minimize the threat of harm from flood events. These updates and revisions may be promoted by changes in local demographics, shifts in land uses, changes to flood regimes such as frequency and intensity of flood events, and other factors that may warrant municipal action. The City will also continue to incorporate any changes to the locations and designations of mapped floodplains into future planning documents, including future updates to this Plan. As of the end of August 2018, there were 449 properties in Seal Beach insured under NFIP, mostly single- family houses or other low-density residential buildings, with a total insured value of approximately $130.8 million. Since the start of the program, NFIP has paid out 123 claims to Seal Beach properties (FEMA 2018c). There are no properties in Seal Beach which have filed claims at least twice—known as repetitive loss properties (FEMA 2018d).

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 6-1 CHAPTER 6 6. PLAN MAINTENANCE In order for this LHMP to remain effective and useful to the community of Seal Beach, it must remain up to date. An updated version of the LHMP will continue to guide hazard mitigation activities in Seal Beach and will help keep the City eligible for state and federal hazard mitigation funding. The Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee has structured this LHMP so that the City can easily update individual sections as new information becomes available and as new needs arise, helping to keep this Plan current. This chapter discusses how to update this Plan to keep it in compliance with applicable state and federal requirements. This chapter also describes how the City can incorporate the mitigation actions described in Chapter 5 into existing programs and planning mechanisms, and how public participation will remain an important part of Plan monitoring and future update activities. COORDINATING BODY The Committee will remain responsible for maintaining and updating the Plan, including evaluating the Plan effectiveness as needed. The members of the Committee will also coordinate implementation of the Plan through their respective positions. A list of the current Committee members is in Chapter 1. In future years, staff and representatives (either current Committee members or other individuals) from the following City organizations should be included in maintenance and update activities: · Seal Beach City Manager’s Office · Seal Beach Community Development Department · Seal Beach Community Services/Recreation · Seal Beach Finance Department · Seal Beach Fire Department · Seal Beach Human Resources · Seal Beach Marine Safety · Seal Beach Police Department · Seal Beach Public Works Department As appropriate, staff from other organizations who sat on the Committee during the preparation of this Plan should be invited to participate in future plan maintenance and update activities: · City of Cypress Police Department · Orange County Fire Authority · Orange County Health Care Agency · Orange County Intelligence and Assessment Center City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 6-2 · Orange County Public Works · United States Navy (NWS Seal Beach) Organizations that did not participate in the preparation of this plan but could be relevant for future discussions or updates to the plan include: · Boeing · City of Huntington Beach · City of Long Beach · City of Los Alamitos · City of Westminster · Leisure World / Golden Rain Foundation · Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base · Los Alamitos Unified School District · Orange County Parks · Orange County Sanitation District · Orange County Sheriff’s Department · Rossmoor Community Services District · Southern California Edison · Southern California Gas Company The Emergency Services Coordinator, a position in the Seal Beach Police Department, is the staff member responsible for coordinating the Committee and will serve as the project manager for future LHMP updates. The Emergency Services Coordinator may also designate this role to another staff member. The Emergency Services Coordinator or their designee will coordinate maintenance of this Plan, lead the formal Plan review and evaluation activities, direct the Plan update, and assign tasks to other members of the Committee to complete these activities. Such tasks may include collecting data, developing new mitigation actions, updating mitigation actions, making presentations to City staff and community groups, and revising sections of the Plan document. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION The effectiveness of the Plan depends on successful implementation of the mitigation actions. This includes integrating mitigation actions into existing City plans, policies, programs, and other implementation mechanisms. The mitigation actions in this Plan are intended to reduce the damage from hazard events, help the City secure funding, and provide a framework for hazard mitigation activities. The members of the Committee have prioritized the hazard mitigation actions, as shown in Table 5-3 in Chapter 5, and these prioritizations will guide implementation of the actions through new or existing City mechanisms as resources are available. The LHMP project manager (the Emergency Services Coordinator or their designee) is responsible for overseeing the implementation, promotion, and maintenance of this Plan. The project manager is also responsible for facilitating meetings and other coordinating activities related to Plan implementation and maintenance. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 6-3 This Plan works in concert with the Seal Beach General Plan, particularly the Safety Element. The Safety Element creates a framework for mitigation and preparation activities, and integrates with the goals of this Plan. The LHMP is a way for the City to expand on the goals and policies in the General Plan, identifying specific mitigation actions to achieve the General Plan’s high-level objectives. The General Plan and the LHMP collectively help to reduce the threat from hazardous conditions to Seal Beach residents, businesses, visitors, buildings and facilities, infrastructure, key services, ecosystems, and other assets. PLAN MAINTENANCE To support maintenance and implementation, this Plan is supported by the Seal Beach Mitigation Implementation Handbook (handbook), provided in Appendix E for reference. The handbook is a stand-alone document that gives concise and accessible guidance to jurisdiction staff for implementing and maintaining the Plan. A key component of the handbook is the specific mechanisms that the jurisdiction can use to integrate this Plan into other planning mechanisms within the City. PLAN EVALUATION When members of the Committee are not updating the Plan, they should meet at least once a year to go over the implementation of mitigation actions and to evaluate the Plan’s effectiveness. These meetings should include: · Discussion of the timing of implementing the mitigation actions. · Evaluation of the actions that are being implemented and determining if these actions are succeeding. · Revisions, as needed, of the prioritization of mitigation actions. · Integration of the mitigation actions into other mechanisms as needed. The first of these meetings will be held in the 2019 calendar year. To the extent possible, Committee meetings should be scheduled at an appropriate time in the City’s annual budgeting process, which will help ensure that funding and staffing needs for mitigation actions are considered. When the Committee meets to evaluate the Plan, members should consider these questions: · What hazard events, if any, have occurred in Seal Beach in the past year? What were the impacts of these hazards on the community? Were the impacts mitigated, and if so, how? · What mitigation actions have been successfully implemented? Have any mitigation actions been implemented but not successfully, and if so, why? · What mitigation actions, if any, have been scheduled for implementation but have not yet been implemented? City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 6-4 · What is the schedule for implementing future mitigation actions? Is this schedule reasonable? Does the schedule need to be adjusted for future implementation, and are such adjustments appropriate and feasible? · Have any new issues of concern arisen, including hazard events in other communities or regions, that are not covered by existing mitigation actions? · Are new data available that could inform updates to the Plan, including data relevant to the hazard profiles and threat assessments? · Are there any new planning programs, funding sources, or other mechanisms that can support hazard mitigation activities in Seal Beach? PLAN UPDATES The information in this Plan, including the hazard profiles, threat assessments, and mitigation actions, are based on the best available information, practices, technology, and methods available to the City and Committee at the time this Plan was prepared. As factors change, including technologies, community demographics and characteristics, best practices, and hazard conditions, it is necessary to update the Plan so that it remains relevant. Additionally, Title 44, Section 201.6(d)(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations requires that LHMPs be reviewed, revised, and resubmitted for approval every five years to remain eligible for federal benefits. UPDATE METHOD AND SCHEDULE The update process should begin no later than four years after this Plan is adopted, allowing a year for the update process before the Plan expires. The Emergency Services Coordinator or their designee may also choose to begin the update process sooner, depending on the circumstances. Some reasons for accelerating the update process may include: · A presidential disaster declaration for Seal Beach or for an area that includes part or the entire city. · A hazard event that results in one or more fatalities in Seal Beach. The update process will add new and updated methods, demographic data, community information, hazard data and events, considerations for threat assessments, mitigation actions, and other information as necessary. This will help keep the Plan relevant and current. The Committee will determine the best process for updating the Plan, which should include the following steps: · Involve at least one member from each City department on the Committee or as a supporting role to contribute as needed. · Contact non-City organizations that sat on the Committee during preparation of the Plan or other relevant entities to gauge their interest and involve them in the update process. · Review and update the hazard mapping and threat assessment for critical facilities. City of Seal Beach Local Hazard Mitigation Plan | Final Draft – March 2019 6-5 · Revise the threat assessment for populations and other assets. · Review and revise the mitigation actions as needed, including in response to actions that have been completed, changed, cancelled, or postponed. · Send a draft of the updated Plan to appropriate external agencies. · Make a draft of the updated Plan available to members of the public for comment. · Following public review, send a draft of the updated plan to Cal OES and FEMA for review and approval. · Adopt the final updated Plan within one year of beginning the update process and within five years of the adoption of the previous Plan. UPDATE ADOPTION The Seal Beach City Council is responsible for adopting this Plan and all future updates. As previously mentioned, adoption should occur every five years, within one year of the commencement of the update process and before the current Plan expires. The adoption should take place after FEMA notifies the City that the Plan is “approved pending adoption.” Once the City Council adopts the Plan following its approval by FEMA, the police department will transmit a copy of the adopted Plan to FEMA. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The City will continue to keep members of the public informed about the Committee’s actions to review and update the LHMP. The Committee will develop a revised community engagement strategy that reflects the City’s updated needs and capabilities. The updated strategy should include a tentative schedule and plan for public meetings, recommendations for the use of the City website and social media accounts, and content for public outreach documentation. The Committee will also distribute annual progress reports to Seal Beach community members. POINT OF CONTACT The Emergency Services Coordinator for Seal Beach is the primary point of contact for this Plan and for future updates. At the time of writing, the Emergency Services Coordinator is Corporal Julia Clasby, available at (562) 799-4100 x1145.

Gloria D. Harper, City Clerk OF SEA(eF AGENDA STAFF REPORT DATE: April 25, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager FROM: Joe Stilinovich, Chief of Police SUBJECT: FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ADMINISTRATION FEMA) / GOVERNORS OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES /CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES CAL -OES) FY15 PRE - DISASTER MITIGATION COMPETITIVE GRANTS PROGRAM GRANT SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6636 allowing the City of Seal Beach to accept, as a sub - grantee, a grant of the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and California Governor's Office of Emergency Services Cal OES), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), to fund the creation of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), and designating City Manager, Chief of Police and Emergency Services Coordinator to serve as the City's agents to file the application and provide all required assurances and agreements pertaining to such state disaster assistance. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The FEMA Pre - Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program, authorized by Section 203 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, is designed to assist States, territories, Federally- recognized tribes, and local communities in implementing a sustained pre- disaster natural hazard mitigation program. The goal is to reduce overall risk to the population and structures from future hazard events, while also reducing reliance on Federal funding in future disasters. This program awards planning and project grants and provides opportunities for raising public awareness about reducing future losses before disaster strikes. PDM grants are funded annually by Congressional appropriations and are awarded on a nationally competitive basis. Mitigation requires the coordinated effort and participation of a wide range of stakeholders and the public in the planning process. Hazard mitigation is the cornerstone of every community's approach to reducing vulnerability to disasters. Hazard mitigation is the only phase of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated Agenda Item damage. The planning process is as important as the resulting plan because it creates a framework for the City of Seal Beach to reduce the negative impacts from future disasters on lives, property, and the environment. A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is a collaborative effort to identify, reduce, or eliminate the long -term risk to human life and property from natural or human - caused hazards. The City of Seal Beach (COSB) faces risks from natural and man -made hazards that threaten life, property, and the environment. The LHMP is a proactive strategy for reducing disaster losses and building overall resilience. It protects the COSB economy and environment from preventable losses and helps bring funding to hazard mitigation initiatives and projects. The plan assesses mitigation progress, creates benchmarks for future action, and provides a coordinating frame of reference for mitigation actions. The mitigation actions combine to make the COSB more resilient to impacts anticipated from natural and human - caused disasters. The COSB LHMP would be the primary hazard mitigation guidance document, and provides an updated and comprehensive description of historical and current hazard analysis, mitigation strategies, goals and objectives. More importantly, the LHMP reflects the COSB commitment to reduce or eliminate potential risks and impacts of natural and human - caused disasters in keeping families, homes and communities better prepared and more disaster resilient. In 2015 the COSB made an application to FEMA, via the Cal -OES HMGP to fund the creation of a LHMP. The COSB received notification on December 24, 2015 that the subgrant application was approved for the amount of $72,930.00. The grant performance period is 5/29/2015 through 10/30/2018. All costs must be incurred during the period of performance, including pre -award costs. By accepting the award pursuant to the attached Resolution (Attachment A) the COSB assumes certain administrative and financial responsibilities including the timely submission of all financial and programmatic reports. In connection with the grant, CAL -OES also requires that the resolution designate those officials who are authorized to act as the COSB's agents to provide all required assurances and agreements in connection with the grant. These provisions have all been incorporated into the proposed Resolution. Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This item has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Reg. Section 15000 et seq.). This resolution is not a "project" as defined under Section 15378(b)(4) of the Guidelines because this resolution is the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and this item is therefore not subject to CEQA's requirements. Even if this resolution were deemed a "project" and therefore subject to CEQA, this item would be categorically exempt from environmental review under Section 15308 of the Guidelines, which exempts actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. As outlined above, the LHMP would identify, reduce and /or eliminate risks to human life and property caused by natural or human - caused hazards, including environmental hazards, and help assess mitigation actions. LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form. FISCAL IMPACT: The COSB will be obligated to provide $24,310.00 of matching funds or "in- kind" matching as part of the grant award obligation. This "in- kind" matching can be in the form of employee salary time. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6636 whereby the City of Seal Beach accepts the FEMA/CAL -OES Pre - Disaster Mitigation Grant Award to fund the creation of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, and designates the City Manager, Police Chief and Emergency Services Coordinator to serve as the City's agents to file the application and provide all required assurances and agreements in connection with such state disaster assistance.

A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is a collaborative effort to identify, reduce, or eliminate the long -term risk to human life and property from natural or human - caused hazards. A LHMP is a proactive strategy for reducing disaster losses and building overall resilience that would protect the City's economy and environment from preventable losses and helps bring funding to hazard mitigation initiatives and projects. The plan would assess mitigation progress, create benchmarks for future action, and provide a coordinating frame of reference for mitigation actions. The mitigation actions would combine to make the City more resilient to impacts anticipated from natural and human - caused disasters. Whereas, the City's LHMP would be the primary hazard mitigation guidance document, and provides an updated and comprehensive description of historical and current hazard analysis, mitigation strategies, goals and objectives. More importantly, the LHMP would reflect the City's commitment to reduce or eliminate potential risks and impacts of natural and human - caused disasters in keeping families, homes and communities better prepared and more disaster resilient. Whereas, in 2015 the City submitted an application to Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), via the Governor's Office of Emergency Resolution Number 6636 Services (Cal -OES), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) to fund the creation of a LHMP. Whereas, on December 24, 2015 the City received notification that the subgrant application was approved by FEMA for the amount of $72,930.00. The grant performance period is April 29, 2015 through October 30, 2018 and all costs must be incurred during the period of performance, including pre -award costs. By accepting the award the City assumes certain administrative and financial responsibilities including the timely submission of all financial and programmatic reports. Whereas, this resolution has been reviewed with respect to applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Reg. Section 15000 et seq.). This resolution is not a "project" as defined under Section 15378(b)(4) of the Guidelines because this resolution creates government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and this item is therefore not subject to CEQA's requirements. Even if this resolution were deemed a "project" and therefore subject to CEQA, this resolution would be categorically exempt from environmental review under Section 15308 of the Guidelines, which exempts actions taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. The LHMP would identify, reduce and /or eliminate risks to human life and property caused by natural or human - caused hazards, including environmental hazards, and help assess mitigation actions.

ADVANCES (HMGP Only) The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) may consider approval of a one time advance provided that the subgrantee justified the need for an advance in their Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) application. An advance can be made after federal funds have been approved, but before the expenditure of eligible costs. The advanced amount will be subtracted from the subgrantee's first reimbursement request. The advance request must be made by submitting a Request for Advance of Funds form. Subgrantees who did not request an advance in their application are not eligible for advances. A special fund for the deposit of the state warrant must be established upon receipt of any advance funding. 2. WORK SCHEDULES The subgrantee must provide Cal OES with a projected work schedule within thirty (30) days of receipt of this obligation package. This is a one - time -only report. It should outline the proposed work schedule for the approved activity, including milestones. The milestones listed in your work schedule will be used to measure the progress reported to Cal OES in the Quarterly Reports. Please provide a separate report for each grant. The work schedule should include the following information: Table /Chart or Graph - Create a table, chart or graph depicting your proposed work schedule by major milestones activities /measures) from the time of initiation to completion of proposed activity. Time line - How long you anticipate the activity will take to complete (in months). Phases - Explain in some detail, if you plan to perform your activity in several phases, and why. Extended Start and Completion Dates - Explain any activity start dates beyond sixty (60) days from approval date, or completion dates beyond three (3) years. The Work Schedule should be sent to: California Governor's Office of Emergency Services Hazard Mitigation Grants Division 3650 Schriever Avenue Mather, California 95655 3. PROCUREMENT /COMPETITIVE BIDS PROCESS All contract/procurement transactions must be carried out in a manner consistent with financial administrative requirements found in Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44CFR) Part 13. 4. ALLOWABLE COSTS AND REIMBURSEMENTS. Once Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approves a total eligible activity cost and obligates funding, Cal OES can process reimbursement requests for eligible activities. Payments are made on a reimbursement basis and no funds will be disbursed for activities that are not consistent with the approved scope of work. Activity expenditures will be reimbursed at 75% of eligible costs. Additionally, Cal OES will withhold retention of 10% from each reimbursement request. The retention amount will be released to the subgrantee upon completion of the closeout process. Reimbursement requests must be submitted to Cal OES on a Hazard Mitigation Reimbursement Form. The form must be signed by the applicant's designated authorized agent. Should the subgrantee be able to complete this work for less than the maximum allowable costs, the subgrantee will be reimbursed at 75% of the actual costs. Any remaining funds will be deobligated. If activity costs exceed the maximum allowable costs, the subgrantee will be reimbursed at 75% of the FEMA approved activity cost. Hazard Mitigation Section Notification to Subgrantees (Revised 07- 12 -13) Page 1 of 4 5. COST OVERRUNS (HMGP Only) Cost over -runs can be considered if available funding exists in the HMGP for the declared disaster. Cost over -runs under ten (10) percent of the approved activity cost are allowed when offset by cost under -runs on other activities, as determined by Cal OES. Cost over -runs exceeding ten (10) percent of the approved activity cost require Cal OES to submit the request with a recommendation to the FEMA Regional Director for review and final determination. Cost over -runs will be indicated by quarterly progress reports and may be verified by activity inspection. All cost over -runs must be requested before expenditure of costs in excess of the total approved activity costs and the request must be signed by the applicant's designated authorized agent. Costs in excess of total approved activity costs expended before approval of cost over -runs will not be considered eligible HMGP expenditures. All cost over -runs must be justified by the subgrantee and supported by a benefit -cost analysis prepared using the FEMA benefit -cost models. Unjustified over -runs will be denied by Cal OES. There is no guarantee that HMGP funds will be available to cover cost over -runs. 6. SCOPE OF WORK CHANGES: Any requests for changes to the approved scope of work must be consistent with program guidance and regulations, must be submitted to Cal OES and signed by the applicant's designated authorized agent. Pre - approval is required before the start of any activity not included in the approved scope of work. Costs associated with any activity that is not included in the approved scope of work are not eligible for reimbursement. 7. QUARTERLY REPORT PROCEDURES Subgrantees are required to submit progress reports to Cal OES on a quarterly basis until the end of the approved performance period or the activity is complete. Quarterly Reports will not be required of activities with duration of less than three months. A single report for such short-term activities will satisfy reporting requirements. The first Quarterly Report is due to Cal OES within three months following the activity initiation. Quarterly Reports will thereafter be numbered consecutively by quarter and year (e.g. a 24 month project is required to submit S quarterly reports.) The following is the schedule for the Quarterly Reports: First Reporting Period: Second Reporting Period: Third Reporting Period: Fourth Reporting Period: January 01 -March 31 April 01 - June 30 July 01 - September 30 October 01 -December 31 Quarterly Reports shall include, at a minimum: Report due by April 15 Report due by July 15 Report due by October 15 Report due by January 15 A. The status and completion date for the activity funded, including any problem or circumstances affecting the completion date, scope of work, or costs which are expected to result in noncompliance with the approved grant conditions. B. A description of milestones completed in accordance with the work schedule provided by the subgrantee. The milestones declared in the subgrantee's work schedule will be applied as a standard of the activity's progress. Cal OES will review subgrantee reports to identify activities requiring special attention or inspection. The Governor's Authorized Representative will review the reports and forward a report to the FEMA Regional Director on the status of each grant. Cal OES will suspend reimbursements to subgrantees that are not current in the submission of quarterly progress reports. Reimbursement requests received for suspended grants will be returned to the subgrantee. Hazard Mitigation Section Notification to Subgrantees (Revised 07- 12 -13) Page 2 of 4 Quarterly Reports must be sent to: California Governor's Office of Emergency Services Hazard Mitigation Grants Division 3650 Schriever Avenue Mather, California 95655 8. INSPECTIONS Cal OES reserves the right to inspect all activities for compliance. Cal OES may require the subgrantee to perform a final inspection and prepare a report. If inspections and review of the subgrantee support documentation reveal problems in performance of work and /or the documentation of such work, Cal OES shall require the subgrantee to correct the deficiencies before close -out. 9. PERFORMANCE PERIOD EXTENSIONS All performance period extension requests must include the dates and provision of all previous extensions on this activity, a detailed explanation for the delay and a revised activity work schedule. All performance period extension requests must be submitted to Cal OES and signed by the applicant's designated authorized agent. Any costs incurred outside of an approved performance period will not be considered eligible activity costs. HMGP Extensions to original performance period of up to twelve months may be granted by Cal OES upon written request from the subgrantee. Requests for time extensions must be submitted to Cal OES prior to the end of the current approved performance period.

PAYMENT: Recipient shall be paid using the FEMA Payment and Reporting System (PARS), provided Recipient maintains and complies with procedures for minimizing the time between transfer of funds from the US Treasury and disbursement by the Recipient and Subrecipients. The Recipient commits itself to: 1) initiating cash drawdowns only when actually needed for its disbursement; 2) timely financial reporting per FEMA requirements, using the SF -425; and 3) imposing the same standards of timing and amount upon any Subrecipient. Subrecipients must comply with the same payment requirement as the Recipient and must comply with the requirements specified in the Recipient's subaward Agreement. DUPLICATION OF PROGRAMS: FEMA will not provide assistance under its programs for activities that FEMA determines another Federal program has a more specific or primary authority to provide. FEMA also will not provide assistance for the applicant or subapplicant's legal obligations. FEMA may disallow or recoup amounts that duplicate funding from other authorities. DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS: Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funds cannot duplicate or be duplicated by funds received by or available to Applicants, subapplicants, or project or planning participants from other sources for the same purpose, such as benefits received from insurance claims, other assistance programs (including previous project or planning grants and subawards from HMA programs), legal awards, or other benefits associated with properties or damage that are or could be subject of litigation. Because the availability of other sources of mitigation grant o loan assistance is subject to available information and the means of each individual applicant, HMA does not require proof that other assistance (not including insurance) has been sought. However, it is the responsibility of the property owner to report other benefits received, any applications for other assistance, the availability of insurance proceeds, or the potential for other compensation, such as from pending legal claims for damages, relating to the property. Amounts of other grants, loans or other assistance designated for the same purpose as HMA funds, if received, may be used to reduce the non - Federal cost - share. Where the property owner has an insurance policy covering any loss to the property which relates to the proposed HMA project, the means, are available for receiving compensation for a loss or, in the case of increased cost of compliance (ICC), assistance toward a mitigation project. FEMA will generally require that the property owner file a claim prior to the receipt of HMA funds. NON DISCRIMINATION: The program must be administered in an equitable and impartial manner, without discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, nationality, sex, age, or economic status. The program complies with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and other applicable laws. All applicants/Recipients must comply with Title VI, including State and local governments distributing Federal assistance. Applicants /Recipients and Subapplicants /Subrecipients will ensure that no discrimination is practiced. Applicants must consider fairness, equity, and equal access when prioritizing and selecting project subapplications to submit with their application. Subapplicants and Subrecipients must ensure fairness, equity and equal access when consulting and making offers of mitigation to property owners that benefit from mitigation activities. CHANGES IN SCOPE OF WORK: Requests for changes to the scope of work (SOW) after award are permissible as long as they do not change the nature or total project cost of the activity, properties identified in the subapplication, the feasibility and effectiveness of the project, or the benefit cost ratio. Requests must be supported by adequate justification from the applicant in order to be processed. The justification is a description of the proposed change, a written explanation of the reason or reasons for the change; an outline of remaining funds available to support the change; and a full description of the work necessary to complete the activity. All approvals will be at FEMA's discretion, and there is no guarantee that SOW changes will be approved. PERFORMANCE PERIODS: All grant award activities, including all projects and /or activities approved under each subaward, shall be completed within the time period prescribed and authorized on the obligating documents, All costs must be incurred within the approved performance period. EXTENSIONS: Requests for time extensions to the Period of Performance will be considered but will not be granted automatically and must be supported by adequate justification submitted to the Regional Office in order to be processed. This justification is a written explanation of the reason or reasons for the delay; an outline of remaining funds available to support the extended Period of Performance; and a description of performance measures necessary to complete the activity. Without justification, extensions requests will not be processed. Financial and Performance reports must be current in order for a time extension to be considered. RECOUPMENT OF FUNDS: FEMA will recoup mitigation planning grant funds for grants that do not meet the deliverable criteria of an adopted, FEMA - approved mitigation plan by the end of the performance period. RECOVERY OF FUNDS: The Recipient will process the recovery of assistance paid to Subrecipients processed through error, misrepresentation, or fraud or if funds are spent inappropriately. Recovered funds shall be submitted to FEMA as soon as the funds are collected, but no later than 90 days from the expiration date of the appropriate grant award agreement. All fraud identifications will be reported to the FEMA Inspector General's office. The Recipient agrees to cooperate with investigation conducted by the FEMA Inspector General's office. REFUND, REBATE, CREDITS: The Recipient shall transfer to FEMA the appropriate share, based on the Federal support percentage, of any refund, rebate, credit or other amounts arising from the performance of this agreement, along with accrued interest, if any. The Recipient shall take necessary action to effect prompt collection of all monies due or which may become due and to cooperate with FEMA in any claim or suit in connection with amounts due.
