City of Irvine
2020 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
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 LHMP project manager 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 Irvine or an area that includes part or the entire city • A hazard event that results in one or more fatalities in Irvine 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 helps keep the Plan relevant and current. The Committee will determine the best process for updating the Plan, which should include the following steps:
Conduct a public review period of the Draft Plan allowing residents and interested stakeholders to provide comment.
Engage the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (with at least one member from each City department).
Prepare an updated plan to be distributed to stakeholders and the public.
Determine what measures have been completed, changed, cancelled, or postponed and review and revise mitigation actions, as needed.
Contact non-City organizations (that

previously participated or are interested stakeholders) to participate in the update.
Adopt the final updated Plan within one year of beginning the update process and within five years of the adoption of the previous Plan.
Review and update the hazard mapping and threat assessment for critical facilities.
Revise the threat assessment for populations and other assets.
UPDATE ADOPTION The Irvine City Council is responsible for adopting this Plan and all future updates. As previously mentioned, adoption should occur every five years. To ensure the plan remains active, the City should begin the update process at least one year prior to expiration. If the City has a grant application that relies on the LHMP, update to the plan should occur no later than 18 months before expiration. 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 adopted plan should be transmitted to FEMA.
