Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Project Goals and Expectations
A key component of the LHMP is the identification of Plan Goals. These goals should cover the overall intent of the LHMP and be tailored to match Irvine’s characteristics and values. Examples may include:
• Protect against threats from natural hazards to life, injury, and property damage for Irvine residents and visitors; • Increase public awareness of potential hazard events; • Preserve critical services and functions by protecting key facilities and infrastructure; • Protect natural systems from current and future hazard conditions; • Coordinate mitigation activities among City departments, with neighboring jurisdictions, and with federal agencies, and; • Prepare for long-term change in hazard regimes.
A review of the Irvine General Plan Safety Element identifies the following topics of concern:
• Fire Hazards (Eucalyptus Windrows) • Flood Hazards • Geological Hazards (Soils/Topography) • Aircraft Operations
• Primary Seismic Hazards (Seismic Shaking) • Secondary Seismic Hazards (Liquefaction) • Dam Inundation • Hazardous Materials • Emergency Planning / Response (access issues, underground utilities)
