10.06

Improve local understanding of the threat of a major earthquake by conducting a city-wide scenario modeling potential loss of life and injuries, destroyed and damaged structures, and interruptions to key services. Retrofit key critical City facilities with seismically rated window film treatments that ensure glass windows do not shatter during a strong seismic event. Promote retrofit of key community facilities not owned by the City. In coordination with Caltrans, update facilities condition assessments for bridges along evacuation routes to identify bridges that need seismic retrofitting. Consider pursuing highest standard improvement options (e.g., replacement instead of retrofitting) for bridges with seismic deficiencies. Pursue ground improvement projects, such as constructing a high strength capping layer, soil mixing, stone columns, soil wicks, chemical and pressure grouting, and other soil improvement techniques that reduce liquefaction susceptibility for key critical facilities in the event of an earthquake. Incentivize utilities to install flexible jointing and pipelines across fault segments located within the City. Ensure these pipelines have the necessary countermeasures to ensure breakage of lines is kept to a minimum and adequate shut off mechanisms to reduce exposure of pipeline contents to residents and businesses.

Severe Weather (Extreme Heat, Severe Wind, Rain)

11.01

Notify residents through public service announcements a couple of days in advance of a severe weather event. Focus on media methods that target vulnerable populations, such as elderly, sick, lower-income, or persons with limited mobility to better ensure they have adequate time to prepare. (Hazards addressed: Severe Weather) Implement a tree-planting program to diversify tree age and increase shaded areas in the City to reduce the effects of the urban heat island effect.
