City of Irvine
2020 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
PLAN MONITORING AND EVALUATION When members of the Committee are not updating the Plan, they should meet at least once a year to go over mitigation action implementation and evaluate the Plan’s effectiveness. These meetings should include: • Discussion of the timing of mitigation action implementation • Mitigation action implementation evaluation, and determination of success
• Mitigation action prioritization revisions, if deemed necessary • Mitigation action integration into other mechanisms, as needed
The first of these meetings will be held in the 2020-2021 fiscal 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 Irvine in the past year? What were the impacts of these events 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? • 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 Irvine? 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.
