CC RESOLUTION 4910RESOLUTION NO. 4910
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2015 CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
1. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988
(Public Law 93 -288), as amended, 42 U.S.C. §5165, and the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §4001 et seq., and Title 44 Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) §201.6 require that local governments develop and
submit hazard mitigation plans to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as a condition of receiving Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and other Mitigation
project grants;
2. The 2015 El Segundo Hazard Mitigation Plan (the "Plan ") identifies and profiles
each potential hazard that can affect the City, includes information on the
probability of future hazard events, and contains a risk assessment that
distinguishes the critical facilities located in the City by an estimate of the
potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures identified in the Plan;
3. The Plan will define the sustained actions taken to reduce or eliminate the long-
term risk to human life and property from hazards, which set the stage for
successful long -term recovery for the City of El Segundo;
4. The Plan outlines a long -term strategy that includes mitigation actions and
projects, which may involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and
other activities to reduce losses from future disasters;
5. Per 44 CFR §201.6(c)(5), the Plan must be formally adopted by the City Council
to demonstrate the City of El Segundo's commitment to fulfilling the hazard
mitigation goals and actions outlined in the Plan, and to legitimize the Plan and
authorize responsible agencies to execute their responsibilities; and
6. The El Segundo Department Directors, City Attorney, stakeholders and the
general public have reviewed the Hazard Mitigation Plan and all appropriate
edits, recommendations, and organizational changes have been resolved within
the Plan.
SECTION 2: Based on the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby adopts the Plan

City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 6
This plan complies with the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act (2000), Federal Register 44 CFR
Parts 201 and 206, which modified the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act by adding a new section, 322 - Mitigation Planning. This law, as of November 1,
2004, requires local governments to develop and submit hazard mitigation plans as a condition
of receiving Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and other Mitigation project grants. The
El Segundo Emergency Management Division (EMD) has coordinated preparation of the 2015
HMP in cooperation with other El Segundo departments, community stakeholders, partner
agencies, and members of the public. The 2015 HMP revises and replaces the HMP prepared
and adopted by the City in 2009.
This introduction to the HMP provides a brief description of hazard mitigation planning, local
mitigation plan requirements, and an outline of the 2015 HMP. There is also an overview of Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) programs and grants related to hazard mitigation.
1.1 HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING
Hazard mitigation is "any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long -term risk to
human life and property from hazards" (44 CFR § 201.2.). The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
(DMA 2000), also known as Public Law 106 -390, provides the legal basis for FEMA mitigation
planning requirements for State, local and Indian Tribal governments as a condition of
mitigation grant assistance. In general, hazard mitigation is work done to minimize the impact
of a hazard event before it occurs. The goal of such mitigation efforts is to reduce losses from
future disasters. The purpose of mitigation planning is for local governments to identify the
hazards that impact them, to identify a plan of actions and activities to reduce losses from those
hazards and to establish a coordinated process to implement the plan, taking advantage of a
wide range of resources (44 CFR § 201.1(b)).
For El Segundo, hazard mitigation planning is a process in which the City will:
• Identify and profile hazards that affect the local area;
• Analyze the people and facilities at risk from those hazards;
Develop mitigation actions to lessen or reduce the impact of the profiled hazards.
The City's implementation of mitigation actions, which include long -term strategies that may
involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities, is the primary
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 7
objective of the planning process. This type of planning will supplement the City's
comprehensive emergency management program.
1.2 LOCAL MITIGATION PLANNING REQUIREMENTS
Hazard mitigation planning is governed by the Stafford Act, as amended by the Disaster
Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), and by federal regulations implementing the Stafford Act.
DMA 2000 revised the Stafford Act to require state, local, and tribal governments to develop
and submit to FEMA a mitigation plan that outlines processes for identifying the natural
hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities of the jurisdiction. Plan approval by FEMA is a prerequisite
to receiving federal hazard mitigation grant funds. (See 42 USC § 5165(a).)
To implement the mitigation planning requirements of the Stafford Act, FEMA promulgated 44
CFR Part 201, the federal regulations governing the planning process, plan content, and the
process for obtaining approval of the plan from FEMA. The planning requirements set forth in
the CFR, including plan revision requirements, are identified throughout this plan mirroring the
order of the FEMA Regulation Checklist in the Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool.
Federal law and the State of California's requirements for hazard mitigation plans require
coverage of only natural hazards; however El Segundo's 2009 HMP included technological and
human - caused hazards as well as natural hazards. The planning team decided to continue
coverage of natural, technological, and human - caused hazards for the 2015 HMP and to increase
the number of hazards covered in the plan, including a description and analysis of each hazard.
FEMA has produced a Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool to demonstrate how the mitigation
plan meets the regulation in 44 CFR § 201.6, and offers State and FEMA Mitigation Planners an
opportunity to provide feedback to the jurisdiction. The Plan Review Tool has a regulation
checklist that provides a summary of FEMA's evaluation of whether the plan has addressed all
requirements. Local planners can also use the checklist prior to submitting the plan for
approval to ensure they have addressed all the requirements. The Local Mitigation Plan
Review Tool is provided in Appendix A.

1.4 ASSEMBLY BILL 2140
The California Disaster Assistance Act limits the state share for any eligible project to no more
than 75% of total state eligible costs, except that the state share shall be up to 100% of total
state eligible costs connected with certain events. AB 2140 prohibits the state share for any
eligible project from exceeding 75% of total state eligible costs unless the local agency is
located within a city, county, or city and county that has adopted a local hazard mitigation plan
in accordance with the federal DMA 2000 as part of the safety element of its general plan, in
which case the Legislature may provide for a state share of local costs that exceeds 75% of total
state eligible costs.
The California Government Code, Sections 8685.9 and 65302.6, allow for the State Legislature
to provide for a state share of local costs that exceeds 75 percent of total state eligible costs
where the local agency is located within a city, county, or city and county that has adopted a
local hazard mitigation plan in accordance with the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
City of El Segundo

(P.L.106 -390) as part of the safety element of its general plan adopted pursuant to subdivision
(g) of Section 65302.
1.5 GRANT PROGRAMS WITH MITIGATION PLAN REQUIREMENTS
Currently, five FEMA grant programs provide funding to local entities that have a FEMA
approved local mitigation plan meeting federal hazard mitigation plan requirements. Two of the
grant programs are authorized under the Stafford Act. The remaining three programs are
authorized under the National Flood Insurance Act and the Bunning - Bereuter - Blumenauer
Flood Insurance Reform Act.
1.5.1 STAFFORD ACT GRANT PROGRAMS
Funding is provided to state, local, and tribal governments that have an approved Hazard
Mitigation Plan through the following programs.
1.5.1.1 HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM
The HMGP provides grants to implement long -term hazard mitigation measures after
declaration of a major disaster. The purpose of the HMGP is to reduce the loss of life and
property due to natural disasters, and to enable mitigation measures to be implemented during
the immediate recovery from a disaster. To qualify for HMGP funding, projects must provide a
long -term solution to a problem, and the project's potential savings must exceed the cost of
implementing the project.
HMGP Funds may be used to protect either public or private property, or to purchase property
that has been subjected to, or is in danger of, repetitive damage. The amount of funding
available for the HMGP under a particular disaster declaration is limited. Under the program,
the federal government may provide a state or tribe with up to 20 percent of the total disaster
grants awarded by FEMA, and may provide up to 75 percent of the cost of projects approved
under the program.
1.5.1.2 THE PRE - DISASTER MITIGATION (PDM) PROGRAM
The PDM provides funds to state, local, and tribal entities for hazard mitigation planning and
mitigation projects before a disaster event. PDM grants are awarded on a nationally
competitive basis. The cost benefit of a PDM project must be more than the cost of
implementing the project. Funds may be used to protect either public or private property or to
purchase property that has been subjected to repetitive damage. In April of 2014, FEMA
announced $112 million in funding available through two Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA)
grant programs: Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) and Pre - Disaster Mitigation (PDM).
Congress originally appropriated $23 million for PDM grants, but increased the allotment to $63
million. The Federal government provides up to 75 percent of the cost of projects approved
under the program.
1.5.2 NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE ACT GRANT PROGRAMS
1.5.2.1 FLOOD MITIGATION ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015
10
The goal of the FMA Grant Program is to reduce or eliminate flood insurance claims under the
NFIP. This program places emphasis on mitigating repetitive loss (RL) properties. The primary
source of funding for the FMA program is the National Flood Insurance Fund. Grant funding is
available for planning, project, and technical assistance. Project grants are awarded to local
entities to apply mitigation measures to reduce flood losses to properties insured under the
NFIP. In FY 2014, FMA funding totaled $89 million. The cost -share for this grant is 75 percent
federal and 25 percent nonfederal. However, a cost- share of 90 percent federal and 10 percent
nonfederal is available in certain situations to mitigate severe repetitive loss (SRL) properties.
1.5.2.2 REPETITIVE FLOOD CLAIMS PROGRAM
The Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) Program provides funding to reduce or eliminate the long-
term risk of flood damage to residential and non - residential structures insured under the NFIP.
Structures considered for mitigation must have had one or more claim payments for flood
damages. All RFC grants are eligible for up to 100 percent federal assistance.
1.5.2.3 SEVERE REPETITIVE Loss PROGRAM
The Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) Program provides funding to reduce or eliminate the long -term
risk of flood damage to residential structures insured under the NFIP. Structures considered for
mitigation must have had at least four NFIP claim payments over $5,000 each, with a cumulative
amount of such claims payments exceeds $20,000; or for which at least two separate claims
payments have been made with the cumulative amount of the building portion of such claims
exceeding the market value of the building, and at least two of the referenced claims must have
occurred within any ten -year period, and must be greater than 10 days apart. The cost -share
for this grant is 75 percent federal, 25 percent nonfederal. There is a cost -share of 90 percent
federal, 10 percent nonfederal, available to mitigate SRL properties when the state or tribal plan
addresses ways to mitigate SRL properties.
1.6 PLANNING AREA DESCRIPTION
The following description of the Planning Area includes its location, geography, history,
government, economy, and demographics. The planning area for the 2015 HMP includes the
City of El Segundo, which is within Los Angeles County, in Southern California. El Segundo
encompasses approximately 5.54 square miles. El Segundo does not own any assets that lie
outside the city boundaries.
1.6.1 LOCATION AND TOPOGRAPHY
El Segundo is located on the Santa Monica Bay, 14 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles.
Its' geographic coordinates are latitude: 33 °55'09" N, longitude: 118 °24'59" W. Elevations in El
Segundo range from 38 meters at sea level to 125 feet above sea level at city hall. The
surrounding jurisdictions include Los Angeles, the county of Los Angeles, and the cities of
Hawthorne and Manhattan Beach. El Segundo is bounded by the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX) / Imperial Highway (north), Rosecrans Avenue (south), Aviation Boulevard (east),
and the Pacific Ocean (west) — with just over three miles of public beaches: El Segundo Beach,
Dockweiler State Beach, and the City of Los Angeles beach area. A small portion of the
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 11
coastline, 0.8 miles, is within the El Segundo city limits. The Century Freeway (105) is at the
northern border of the city along Imperial Highway. The San Diego Freeway (405) is just
outside the city to the east.
El Segundo is located in the northwestern corner of the Los Angeles Basin in the transition zone
between the Transverse Range and the Peninsular Range Structural Provinces of Southern
California. The topography in the city is characterized by a series of northwest trending rounded
hills consisting of stabilized sand dunes rising above the main coastal plain. The elevation rises
from sea level along the southwestern border to approximately 160 feet above mean sea level
in the northern section of the city. Some of the northern area of the city retains the natural
dune landscape. In the southern portion of the city more of the natural topography has been
altered. A series of stabilized sand dunes referred to as the El Segundo Sand Dunes and Sand
Hills cover the western part of the city. To the west of the city are steep coastal bluffs,
exceeding 30% slope, descending to a coastal beach area. The eastern section is flat, almost at
sea level; the surface represents the original erosion terrace of the Torrance Plain on which the
coastal sand dunes were deposited. The Torrance Plain is underlain by marine and non - marine
sediments of the Lakewood Formation. The Lakewood Formation consists of fine to medium
grained sandstones, gravelly sandstones and clays which weather into clays and silty clays. The
western section of the city is underlain by dune sands in varying stages of consolidation.
Current groundwater levels are at 20 feet below surface or deeper.

El Segundo's climate is temperate and Mediterranean, characterized by mild winters and dry
summers. Temperatures in El Segundo usually range between 61 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit in
the summer and between 59 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter. There is an average of
12 inches of rain per year. Fog is common in El Segundo, particularly in the neighborhoods
bordering the Pacific - Ocean. The marine layer and ocean breezes ease the hot summer
temperatures and minimize smog in the city.
1.6.2 HISTORY OF EL SEGUNDO
The El Segundo and Los Angeles coastal area was first settled by the Tongva (or Gabrielenos)
and Chumash Native American tribes hundreds of years ago. In the late 1800's, El Segundo was
mostly uninhabited land used for dry farming. The land was once part of the Sausal Redondo
Rancho controlled by Daniel Freeman, the founder of Inglewood. In 1885, most of the rancho
was sold in square mile sections to wealthy investors. While the beach areas of the south
attracted some residents, the El Segundo and airport land in late 1910 was vacant.
Standard Oil Company, recognizing the need for a refinery in Southern California, sent a large
party of executives from the East as well as California to scout for a site in November 1910. El
Segundo area was an easy choice, being mostly vacant, with ocean access providing a water
source for cooling and close to oil fields. William Rheem, having constructed and managed
Standard Oil's refinery at Point Richmond, was instrumental in building a second refinery at El
Segundo. The city earned its name ( "the second" in Spanish) as it was the site of the second
Standard Oil refinery on the West Coast.
In late May 1911, construction had begun on the refinery after a two -mile long rail spur serving
the site was completed. One of the first major tasks was dealing with the sand dunes. About
400 mules, mule- skinners, and Fresno scrapers were brought in to level sites for the refinery
structures and storage tanks. In September 1911, Hanna invited Rheem down from San
Francisco to "fire" the No. 1 battery of stills starting the production of end products. Raw crude
had been accumulating in storage tanks having arrived by pipeline from the Whittier - Fullerton
oil fields. By the end of the year, reportedly Standard Oil had spent over $1,000,000 of the
$3,000,000 allotted to complete the refinery.
By the end of 1912, El Segundo had grown from a "tent city" to include 180 homes and 20
businesses, a school, a bank, churches and five hotels. The El Segundo Land and Improvement
Company offered Standard Oilers inducements to those wanting to build a home. This
company managed the growth of El Segundo until the city incorporated on January 18, 1917.
The city grew along with the growth of the refinery. There were other short -lived smaller
ventures such as a tractor assembly plant that later became a tile manufacturing plant.
Next door to the north Mine's Field, a landing strip used by early aviators was chosen as the site
for the Los Angeles Municipal Airport. Expansion with the official opening of
the airport in 1930 ushered in numerous aviation companies. The Douglas Aircraft Company

plant in El Segundo was one of the major aircraft manufacturing facilities in California during
World War II. The likes of Hughes Aircraft, Northrop, Interstate, and North American Aviation
(Northrop) all located in El Segundo. After a high point of activity during WWII many of these
companies eventually transitioned into the aerospace /defense industry. In the 1960's, the
addition of the Aerospace Company Corporation and the Los Angeles Air Force Base gave El
Segundo claim to the title of "The Aerospace Capital of the World ". Today, the city's population
has leveled off around 16,500, which has enabled the community to preserve its small town
intimacy and charm.
1.6.3 GOVERNMENT
The City of El Segundo is a general law city with a Council /Manager form of government. There
are seven elected offices -- five Council Members, one Treasurer and one City Clerk. All offices
in general law cities are non - partisan. The El Segundo City Council serves as the governing board
for the City. Council- appointed officials include the City Manager and City Attorney.
City Council members establish policy for the City. The City Manager and staff are responsible
for implementing the policies. The City Council adopts an annual budget that establishes City
services and service levels; establishes tax rates, license fees, assessments, franchises and other
forms of revenue as set forth by Government Code; direct the development of the City by
adopting a General Plan and supporting the Zoning Code; authorize contracts and leases, and
disposes of City real and personal property. El Segundo is part of the South Bay Cities Council of
Governments, a joint powers authority of 16 cities and the County of Los Angeles that share the
goal of maximizing the quality of life and productivity for the region.
1.6.4 ECONOMY
El Segundo is home to many businesses and corporations including Chevron USA, Raytheon,
DirecTV, International Rectifier, Boeing, Mattel, Motorola, NCR Corporation, Northrop
Grumman, Oracle- America, Inc., The Aerospace Corporation, Xerox, and the Toyota Sports
Center serving the Los Angeles Lakers, and L.A. Kings professional sports franchises. Many of
these businesses are Fortune 500 companies.

2.1 2015 PLAN REVISION PROCESS
In late July 2014, El Segundo EMD began the process of revising the 2009 HMP. An email was
sent to department directors to assign a person from each department to the Hazard Mitigation
planning team for the purpose of reviewing, assessing, and revising the 2009 HMP. Members of
the HMP planning team are listed in Table 2 -1, below.

Three meetings were held with the planning team: August 6, 2014, September 17, 2014 and
November 19, 2014. EMD hosted and served as chair of the planning team. EMD also
developed the agendas, copied documents for review and sent out meeting notices. At the
first meeting, August 6, 2014, a description of the plan revision process was provided, along
with the feedback from the FEMA review of the 2009 HMP. Information from other El Segundo
plans, including the 2009 HMP, the 2013 Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), and the 1992
General Plan Safety Element was presented. The planning team also reviewed the local
mitigation plan requirements under the Stafford Act regulations and the October 2011 Local
Mitigation Plan Review Guide in an effort to assist the planning team in understanding the
scope of the plan revision process. The planning team decided that a complete overhaul of the
2009 HMP would be required to bring the HMP to the current standards. A presentation was
developed to facilitate the meeting.
The planning team reviewed the hazards that were identified in the 1992 Safety Element, the
2009 HMP, and the 2013 EOP along with other hazards to consider. Lists of the critical facilities
and mitigation actions identified in the 2009 plan were presented for review. The planning
team was given the assignment and materials to review the hazards and critical facilities

developed the agendas, copied documents for review and sent out meeting notices. At the

addressed in the 2009 HMP and provide their recommendations for revision to EMD within two
weeks. The process established was for EMD to compile the recommendations and send them
back out to the planning team for a final review prior to incorporating them into the 2015 plan.
The planning team members agreed upon the compiled list of hazards and the critical facilities
to be included in the revised plan. The planning team also reviewed and made
recommendations on the public - stakeholder outreach plan and efforts. The method of
distributing assignments for review and collecting team member input was used throughout
the planning process to accommodate schedule restraints of the planning team. The process of
EMD developing portions of the plan and sending the draft items to the planning team for
review, recommendations, and approval worked very well between the scheduled planning
team meetings.
At the second planning team meeting, September 17, 2014, the planning team reviewed the list
of mitigation actions from the 2009 HMP. A comment from the FEMA reviewer of the plan
stated "Develop and consider only mitigation actions that are truly mitigation in nature." The
planning team agreed to review the 2009 list of approximately 300 mitigation actions for a
period of two weeks and send their recommendations on which actions should be removed
from the list back to EMD. It was agreed that the list had redundancies and all of the non -
mitigation actions should be deleted from the list. EMD summarized the input from the
planning team and the updated mitigation actions list was circulated back to team members for
confirmation prior to revising that section of the HMP. In the 2009 plan the STAPLEE tool was
used to prioritize the action items. The planning team agreed to not use the STAPLEE tool but to
develop an action plan with a simple method of how the actions will be prioritized,
implemented, and administered. At this meeting, planning team members were also asked to
submit City assets, such as authorities and policies, legal and regulatory resources, staff, and
fiscal resources to be included in the Mitigation Strategy section of the HMP. Planning team
members also were asked to provide a status on the completion of mitigation projects adopted
as part of the 2009 HMP, and to submit new mitigation actions and project ideas to be included
in the revised plan. Again the process of the planning team members taking plan materials for
review and returning their recommendations and ideas back to EMD on behalf of their
department was used successfully.
EMD also performed research on action items from the 2009 plan that were completed by
reviewing approved budget reports and searching the accomplishments of each department
and the goals and objectives for the next year. Departmental budget reports from 2009 through
2015 were reviewed to provide material for the completed mitigation actions and new actions
for the mitigation strategy. Departments that had current and ongoing projects provided
project information, such as a timeline, project funding, and project administration to include in
the action plan.
A third meeting was held on November 19, 2014. At this meeting, the planning team reviewed
the risk assessment section and mitigation goals from the 2009 plan and revised the goals to

reflect information from the hazard profiles, risk analysis, and input from the stakeholder and
public survey. A draft version of the action plan was reviewed and comments were given that
were incorporated into that section. The planning team also provided input on how the 2015
HMP will be integrated into other planning processes. EMD also presented the planning team
with the final asset lists for review and comment.
Documentation of the planning process for the planning team is shown in Appendix B:
Planning Process Documentation.
From mid - August through December, planning team members received requests for
information and portions of the draft plan by email for review and comment. EMD also met
with individual planning team members for specific information necessary for the plan. EMD
incorporated planning team feedback, and provided team members with a revised draft 2015
HMP for review in late- January. The draft HMP was presented to City Council and the Disaster
Council on January 27, 2015. A two week review period was given for comments. The following
efforts were made to receive comments and recommendations about the draft 2015 HMP:
• A draft version of the 2015 HMP was made available on the City's website for a 15 -day
public comment review period on January 28, 2015. Information advertising the
availability of the draft 2015 HMP for review and comment was put on El Segundo TV
and on the City website. The plan was left on the City website indefinitely for review
until the plan was on the agenda for the City Council meeting.
• On January 28, 2015 the draft 2015 HMP was distributed to all members of the Business
and Industry Emergency Management Group for a 2 -week review period.
• On January 29, 2015 the draft 2015 HMP was distributed to emergency management
staff of each city participant of Area G.
• On January 28, 2015 the draft 2015 HMP was distributed to the El Segundo Faith Based
Emergency Preparedness Group.
On April 7, 2015 the 2015 HMP was presented to City Council for adoption at a regularly
scheduled City Council meeting. The City Council Meeting Agenda was posted at City Hall and
the City Council Meeting agenda packet was posted on the City's website. The local community
access cable television channels carried the City Council meeting announcement. At the council
meeting, City Council voted unanimously to adopt the 2015 Hazard Mitigation Plan.
On April 8, 2015, EMD sent the revised public comment draft of the 2015 HMP to Cal OES and
FEMA for preliminary review.
A crosswalk was developed of the 44 CFR requirements and locations of the requirements in
the 2009 and 2015 HMPs. Table 2 -2 also serves to show the revisions that were made from the
2009 plan to the 2015 HMP.

2.2 STAKEHOLDER AND PUBLIC OUTREACH
A requirement is that the HMP must document an opportunityfor neighboring communities,
local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities, agencies that have the
authority to regulate development as well as other interests to be involved in the planning
process (44 CFR § 201.6(b)(2)). The plan must also document how the public was involved in
the planning process during the drafting stage (44 CFR § 201.6(b)(3)).
At the July 29, 2014 Disaster Council Meeting, the revision of the 2009 hazard mitigation plan
was discussed. Members of the El Segundo City Council, department directors, planning team
members, the American Red Cross, and the superintendent of the El Segundo Unified School
District were present and provided recommendations on the public and stakeholder outreach
process. An outline of the revision of the HMP was presented and discussed. A question and
answer period was given, and recommendations from the meeting attendees were given
regarding the plan update. The discussion included a two - pronged strategy for reaching out
to the public, focused on efforts during the drafting phase and prior to plan adoption. The
recommendations were to utilize existing groups in the city such as civic organizations, city
commissions, the business community, school district, and community fairs to conduct
outreach for public input.

2.2.1 STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH
To facilitate stakeholder involvement for the 2015 HMP revision, EMD conducted
presentations to groups within the community and provided an overview of the 2015 HMP
update, gave presentations of information, provided a survey for input, and answered
questions regarding the plan revision process. EMD conducted the following stakeholder
outreach:
El Segundo Business and Industry Emergency Management Group
Two meetings of the Business and Industry Emergency Management Group were
devoted to the 2015 HMP revision. The meetings were held on July 29, 2014, and
September 23, 2014 at the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC). EMD hosted
and led both meetings, and provided materials for the meeting attendees to review.
At the first meeting, EMD gave a presentation about the requirements for the
revision, the revision process, and hazards from the 2009 HMP, the 1992 Safety
Element, and the 2013 EOP. The group discussed the hazards in the city and what
threats concerned the members, on behalf of the businesses they work for, the
most. The group also discussed the vulnerability assessment, critical facilities,
and provided input on those subjects. The group also shared information from
the business plans of their employers as input for the plan revision.
At the second meeting, EMD presented information on the hazard mitigation
goals, actions, and mitigation strategies. The group discussed strategies that involved
businesses and how the City could best assist the businesses in mitigating hazards.
Both meetings were entirely focused on the revision of the HMP. Group members
provided input and provided recommendations during the meetings, and often
afterwards, via email or phone calls. The Business and Industry Group was also sent a
hazard mitigation survey to complete to provide input. Of the 50 members on the
roster that were sent the survey, 12 completed it. Their responses in summary
showed concerns about earthquakes, hazardous materials and terrorism incidents.
The surveys reflected most businesses were well prepared or very well prepared for a
disaster, and most have emergency management staff on site. Business personnel
responded they prefer emails, alert /warning devices, and phone /text to receive
information of an emergency or disaster.
El Segundo Faith Based Emergency Preparedness Group
Two meetings were held with the El Segundo Faith Based Emergency Preparedness
Group focusing entirely on the HMP revision. The meetings were held on August 13,
2014, and November 19, 2014. The meeting included representatives from El Segundo
United Methodist Church, Saint Michaels's Episcopal Church, Saint Andrews Catholic
Church, the Bridge Foursquare Church, and the American Red Cross. At the first
meeting, EMD gave a presentation about the requirements for the revision, the
revision process, and hazards from the 2009 HMP, the 1992 Safety Element, and
the 2013 EOP. The group discussed the hazards in the city and what threats
concerned the members the most. The group also discussed the vulnerability
assessment, critical facilities, and provided input on those subjects.

At the second meeting, EMD presented information on the hazard mitigation goals
and mitigation actions, and mitigation strategies. The information presented at the
meeting was distributed via email to the complete membership of the group on behalf
of those pastors and church leaders that could not make the meeting with a request for
input. The Group was also sent a hazard mitigation survey to complete to provide
input. Of the ten people that were sent the survey, three completed it. The people
that completed the survey were primarily concerned with earthquakes, severe
weather and climate change with the effect of air pollution hazards. They answered
they were moderately prepared for a disaster and prefer to receive disaster
information through emails and the internet. They also answered they were equally
responsible to conduct preparedness activities in conjunction with the City.
The following additional activities were undertaken as part of outreach to stakeholders
regarding the 2015 HMP:
• The Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management was sent the draft HMP
for review to provide comments and recommendations.
• Area G Disaster Coordinators for the neighboring cities were sent the draft 2015 HMP
for review and input.
• The American Red Cross Los Angeles (ARCLA) was sent the revised 2015 HMP for
review and comment.
• The Business and Industry Emergency Management Group was sent the revised 2015
HMP for review and comment.
• The Faith Based Emergency Preparedness Group was sent the revised 2015 HMP for
review and comment.
For documentation of the above 2015 HMP stakeholder outreach efforts, see Appendix C,
Stakeholder Outreach.
2.2.2 PUBLICOUTREACH
To begin the public outreach EMD created a survey regarding public opinion on numerous
hazard related issues and mitigation actions. The survey was placed on the City's web site
located at;www.elsepundo.or . EMD issued a press release on the 2015 HMP revision process,
and posted the survey on the website on September 11, 2014. The survey (included in
Appendix D) stated that El Segundo sought input for the HMP revision and hazard mitigation
issues, and on disaster preparedness related issues as well.
The planning team felt outreach could be conducted to the general public through existing civic
and non - governmental organizations in the city. A PowerPoint presentation was developed that
could be tailored to each organization that would host a meeting. Presentations were given to
several groups and the website survey was also presented to the attendees. The comments and
recommendations were documented by EMD, and in several instances the survey was
completed by people attending the presentation.

There were 112 responses to the online survey. Although this number is few, the calculated
percentages for the answers to the survey were telling. The primary threats of concern were
earthquakes (33% very concerned and 26% extremely concerned) and hazardous materials
incidents (27% concerned and 26% extremely concerned). More than half of citizens have
prepared a disaster supply kit (56 %), stored water (61 %), and stored non - perishable food
(87 %). Most homes have medical supplies (63 %), smoke detectors (94 %), and carbon
monoxide detectors (73 %). Members of the public answered they like to receive information
about emergencies and disasters from government entities (57 %), the local fire department
(62 %), and public safety campaigns (63 %). The highest rated projects the participants selected
for hazard mitigation were retrofitting of critical facilities, bridges, roads, water supply and
wastewater drainage (65 %). Participants also agreed somewhat (51 %) that the government is
responsible to provide education programs for hazard mitigation compared to (72 %) strongly
agreeing it is their personal responsibility to be educated and take actions to reduce exposure
to hazards.
The following additional activities were undertaken as part of outreach to members
of the community regarding the 2015 HMP:
• An article released in the El Segundo Herald described the revision process for the
2015 HMP and adverted the hazard mitigation survey on the City's website.
• A notice was placed on the City's website about the 2015 HMP revision and requested
citizens complete the survey.
• El Segundo TV ran an advertisement about the revision to the HMP and advertised
the survey on the City's website, asking community members to participate.
• EMD had a booth displaying information about the hazard mitigation plan at the
Richmond Street Fair in El Segundo on September 27, 2014 from 9:00 to 5:00 PM. A
survey asking community members 12 questions about their opinions on hazards,
personal and City emergency preparedness efforts, mitigation actions and projects,
distribution of emergency preparedness information, and other related questions was
distributed to community members to fill out. There were an estimated 5,000 people
that attended the street fair. Approximately 50 people completed the survey.
• On September 30, 2014, a presentation was given to El Segundo Kiwanis, a civic
organization that is very active in the community. An overview of the HMP and the
revision process was discussed and a survey was given to the attendees to provide.
input. Kiwanis members also provided verbal input during the meeting which was
incorporated into the HMP where appropriate. There were 28 people at the
presentation.
• A presentation was given to Teradata on October 14, 2014. The presentation included
information on the hazards in the city and an overview of the HMP revision process
was discussed. A survey was distributed to the attendees to provide input. Many
employees had questions about what to do if an earthquake occurs and they can't get
out of the city. There were 60 people at the presentation.
• An advertisement asking community members to participate in the website hazard
mitigation survey was distributed to student families through school E- newsletters.

The E- newsletters were emailed to parents of students through the El Segundo
Unified School District. The advertisement is included in Appendix D.
• The complete revised draft version of the 2015 HMP was posted on the City's
website on January 28, 2015, with a link for the public to make comments.
• El Segundo TV ran an advertisement about the draft 2015 HMP being posted on the
City's website, and soliciting community members to review the draft plan on the
website and provide comments.
For documentation of the above 2015 HMP public outreach efforts, see Appendix D, Public
Outreach.
2.3 INCORPORATION OF EXISTING PLANS AND OTHER TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The requirements for review and incorporation of existing plans, studies, reports, and
technical information (44 CFR §201.6(b)(3)), as described in the federal regulations are
described below.
During the plan revision process, members of the planning team reviewed and incorporated
information from several existing plans, studies, and reports into the 2015 HMP. These
documents and reports are listed below:
• El Segundo Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) (2013). The hazard section of the EOP
provided a basis for the hazards identified in the 2015 HMP.
• El Segundo General Plan, Safety Element (1992): The hazards identified in the 1992
Safety Element provided natural hazard profile information for seismic hazards,
including ground shaking and ground failure, flooding and tsunami inundation
hazards, and urban fires.
•
El Segundo General Plan (1992): The land use and development trends identified in
the General Plan provided guidance for development trends identified in the 2015
HMP vulnerability analysis.
•
El Segundo General Plan, Land Use Element (1992): Land use and development
trends identified in the Land Use Element provided guidance for development trends
identified in the 2015 HMP vulnerability analysis.
• El Segundo Environmental Impact Analysis: Hydrology and Water Quality, 2004,
provided information for the 2015 HMP groundwater impacts and storm water
flooding hazard profile.
Environmental Impact Report: Chevron El Segundo Marine Terminal Lease Renewal
Project was used to obtain information about pipeline and oil spill hazards.
•, El Segundo Building Codes: These codes were used to develop new mitigation actions.
El Segundo Local Coastal Plan, 1980: was used to obtain information for the tsunami
hazard and develop mitigation actions.
• 2014 Los Angeles Department of Public Health Climate and Health Series Report 2:
Framework forAddressing Climate Change, August 2014: This report provided information
that was used for the development of the climate change hazard profile.
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015
27
California Climate Adaptation Planning Guide (APG): The 2012 APG provides
information on the effects of climate change on California, and provided adaptation
planning guidance used in the development of the climate change hazard profile.
2013 State of California Multi - Hazard Mitigation Plan: The State HMP was reviewed to
ensure the alignment of the El Segundo HMP with the state's current hazard profiles
and mitigation strategy.
EMD also reviewed parts of the 2013 California State Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2011 City of Los
Angeles Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2010 City of Santa Clarita Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2014 City and
County of San Francisco Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013 Santa Monica hazard Mitigation Plan, and
the 2014 County of Los Angeles All- Hazard Mitigation Plan for input to the El Segundo HMP or
planning ideas and guidance.
2.4 CONTINUED PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN PLAN MAINTENANCE
The overall success of the HMP is through implementation of the plan's hazard mitigation
activities to reduce the effects of hazards, protect people and property, and improve the City's
efforts to respond to and recover from disasters. The public members within El Segundo are the
ultimate benefactors of the HMP and must have continued input to the HMP planning process.
El Segundo will strive to regularly keep the public aware of hazard mitigation projects that
take place as a result of the HMP through public information outreach such as press releases,
cable television announcements, public hearings, council and commission meetings, and
alerts on Nixle and Everbridge. After approval and adoption of the 2015 HMP, copies of the
plan will be placed on the City's website and in the El Segundo Library and on the library
web -based system. Public comment will continue to be solicited and appreciated. The EMD
website page includes an e-mail address and phone number to which people can direct
further comments or concerns. EMD will publicize these actions through issuance of a media
release, cable television, and alerts via Nixle and Everbridge.
Hazard mitigation projects are included in the City's Annual Strategic Plan. The City conducts
extensive public outreach during the strategic planning process and the public is invited to open
sessions during this time. This will serve as an opportunity to conduct outreach to the public by
conducting a survey for input on how the community feels about the progress being made on
HMP activities. The City provides press releases and information about projects to the public on
a regular basis, but at a minimum, the public will be engaged to learn about current HMP
activities, and given the opportunity to provide comments and information on an annual basis
to update and maintain the HMP. The EMD will be responsible to ensure the public is included
and involved in the annual public plan update and outreach.
When the time comes to begin revising the 2015 HMP, the plan update process will begin and
include continued public involvement and input through attendance at designated public
meetings, web postings, through press releases to local media, community fairs and events, and
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 28
0
surveys. As part of this effort, a series of public meetings will be held and public comments will
be solicited on the revision to the plan according to the five -year cycle.
2.5 PLAN MAINTENANCE METHOD AND SCHEDULE
Implementation and maintenance of the plan is critical to the overall success of hazard
mitigation planning. This section details the process that El Segundo will use to monitor,
update, and evaluate the plan within the five year cycle of the plan's revision to ensure the
HMP remains an active and relevant document. The format of the plan aligns with the
regulation checklist and is divided into sections of information. When it is time to maintain or
revise the HMP, data can be easily located and incorporated, resulting in an easy method to
keep the plan current and relevant.
2.5.1 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The hazard mitigation plan includes a range of action items to reduce losses from hazard
events. Together, the action items provide a framework for activities that the City can choose
to implement over the next five years. The effectiveness of the plan depends on the
incorporation of the action items into existing City plans, policies, and programs. Although the
City Manager's Office will have primary department responsibility for the HMP's continual
review, coordination, and promotion, plan implementation and evaluation will be a shared
responsibility among all departments and agencies that contributed to the mitigation action
plan. The El Segundo City Manager and department directors will be jointly responsible for the
plan's implementation and maintenance through existing City programs. Division managers will
be responsible for implementing mitigation strategies and actions specific to their department
operations. The Emergency Management Coordinator in the City Manager's Office will assume
the lead responsibility for facilitating plan maintenance and revisions and coordinating the
planning team.
2.5.2 HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING TEAM
The planning team represents staff from each City department and other stakeholders that
contributed to the development of the initial 2009 HMP and revised 2015 plan. The planning
team oversaw the development of the plan, and made recommendations on key elements of
the plan, including the maintenance strategy.
The 2015 HMP followed recommendations from the 2009 plan that each City department be
represented on the planning team for the next plan revision. This philosophy will be continued
for future plan revisions through evaluations, maintenance, and updates of data, processes,
and programs. The planning team will convene annually to perform annual reviews of the
updated plan and its implementation. The planning team will include representation from
citizens, citizen groups, and stakeholders within the planning area.
If planning team members can no longer serve on the planning team, the department director
will assign another staff person to be on the planning team so that every City department is
represented.

2.5.3 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
The onset of the planning process for the City's Annual Strategic Plan will serve as an
appropriate time to review the HMP and the implementation of mitigation actions. City staff
will not only review the HMP for input to the strategic plan, but take advantage of the strategic
plan to align annual reviews of the hazard mitigation plan to incorporate information. As annual
updates are completed, the public will be given an opportunity to review the changes to the
HMP.
The planning team will monitor the hazard mitigation strategies during the year and at a
meeting held during the time period of strategic planning will provide information for the
evaluation of the progress of the 2015 HMP. This evaluation will include:
• A summary of any hazard events that occurred during the prior year and their impact
on the planning area
• A review of successful mitigation initiatives identified in the 2015 plan
• A brief discussion about the targeted strategies that were not completed
• A re- evaluation of the action plan to determine if the timeline for identified projects
needs to be amended, and the reason for the amendment, e.g., funding issues
• Any recommendations for new projects
• Any changes in or potential for new funding options (grant opportunities)
• Any impacts of other planning programs or initiatives in the City that involve hazard
mitigation
The planning team will write a progress report that will be provided to the strategic planning
team for review and incorporation into the strategic plan. The hazard mitigation plan progress
report will also be posted on the City's website page dedicated to the hazard mitigation plan,
provided to the local media through a press release, and presented in the form of a report to
the El Segundo City Council. The planning team will strive to complete the progress report
process between June and July every year.
2.5.4 PLAN UPDATE
Section 201.6.d.3 of 44CFR requires that local hazard mitigation plans be reviewed, revised as
appropriate, and resubmitted for approval in order to remain eligible for benefits awarded
under the Disaster Mitigation Act. The City of El Segundo intends to update its hazard
mitigation plan on a 5 -year cycle.
Based on needs identified by the planning team, this update will, at a minimum, include the
following elements:
• The hazard risk assessment will be reviewed and updated using the most recent
information and technologies.
• The action plan will be reviewed and revised to account for any initiatives completed,
dropped, or changed and to account for changes in the risk assessment
• Any new City policies identified under other planning mechanisms, as appropriate.

• The draft update will be sent to appropriate agencies and organizations for comment.
• The public will be given an opportunity to comment on the update prior to adoption.
• The El Segundo City Council will adopt the updated plan.
At a minimum of six months prior to the expiration date of the 2015 HMP, the planning team
will resume a plan revision schedule to formally update the 2015 plan. The plan will be revised
using the latest FEMA hazard mitigation guidance documents, such as a Mitigation Planning
Tool and Regulation Checklist to ensure compliance with hazard mitigation planning
regulations.

3.1 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
The goal of mitigation is to reduce the future impacts of all types of hazards, including the loss
of life, property damage, disruption to the local economy, and the expenditure of public and
private funds for recovery.
Hazard Identification
A list of all hazards that had the potential to occur in El Segundo was presented to the planning
team, stakeholders and the general public through a survey, and a comparison chart of the
hazards listed in the 1992 Safety Element of the General Plan, the 2009 HMP, the 2013
Emergency Operations Plan and the California State Hazard Mitigation Plan. The FEMA
reviewer's comments from the 2009 Local Mitigation Plan Review Crosswalk were also provided
to the planning team for review. The comments stated that the descriptions of the hazards in
the 2009 HMP were vague and did not always relate to El Segundo. The planning team wanted
to ensure the hazards listed in the revised plan were more specific to the threat in El Segundo,
and add several hazards that weren't addressed in the 2009 HMP. Taking the reviewers
comments into consideration, and the recommendations from the stakeholders and the public,
the planning team decided to make the following changes for the hazards profiled in the 2015
HMP. Table 3 -1 reflects the hazards in the 2009 HMP and hazards identified for the 2015 HMP.

The 2015 HMP lists 12 hazards that affect the Planning Area based on historical information,
the presence of the hazard, and the likelihood of future occurrences of the hazard. The hazard
profiles serve as the basis of the hazard assessment.
3.1.1 ELSEGUNDO DISASTER PROCLAMATION HISTORY
The planning team reviewed historical information and more recent past events to identify
hazards where an emergency or disaster was proclaimed within the City. The following table
shows the history of disaster resolutions proclaimed for the City of El Segundo:
3.1.2 DISASTER PROCLAMATION PROCESS
When there is a condition of extreme peril or potential peril to the safety of persons and
property, and the condition is beyond the capability of the local jurisdiction to control

a local emergency and to provide assistance under the California Disaster Assistance Act
(CDAA). In Los Angeles County, a copy of the resolution must be provided as soon as possible to
the Los Angeles County Operational Area for transmission to Cal OES. When a county proclaims
a local emergency pursuant to Section 8630 of the Government Code, based upon conditions
which include both incorporated and unincorporated territory of the county, it is not necessary
for the cities to also proclaim the existence of a local emergency independently. If sufficient
conditions occur, the State may proclaim a state of emergency to fully commit state and mutual
aid assistance and provide resources to assist local government. Following the proclamation of
a state of emergency, the Cal OES Director may recommend that the Governor request a
Presidential declaration of a major disaster under the authority of Public Law 93 -288. The
Governor's request to the president is submitted through the FEMA.
The table below lists the State and Federal disaster declarations affecting Los Angeles County,
which encompass the cities within the County. Disaster proclamations for hazards that are not
present in El Segundo (wildland fires, dam failure, landslides, fruit fly infestations, etc.) were
excluded from the table.

This disaster history (combined federal and state) suggests that Los Angeles County (including El
Segundo) could experience a major incident worthy of a disaster declaration every 2.3 years,
and 15 out the 23 disaster declarations were the result of severe weather. Similarly, most
disaster - related injuries to people and damage to property resulted from severe weather.
3.2 HAZARD PROFILES
The hazards that exist in El Segundo are profiled below. Each hazard profile includes a
description of the type, location, extent, previous occurrences, and probability of future events
within the description. Maps and graphs are used in this plan to display hazard identification
data. Except for the future earthquake probability, which was taken from the 2008 Uniform
California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF), the probability of future hazard events was
calculated based on existing data. Probability was determined by dividing the number of events
observed by the number of years on record and multiplying by 100. This gives the percent
chance of an event happening in any given year (e.g., three tornados over a 30 -year period
equates to a 10 percent chance of a tornado in any given year). The likelihood of future
occurrences is categorized into one of the following classifications:
Highly Likely —Near 100 percent chance of occurrence in the next year, or happens
every year.
Likely— Between 10 and 100 percent chance of occurrence in the next year, or
has a recurrence interval of 10 years or less.
• Occasional— Between 1 and 10 percent chance of occurrence in the next year, or has a
recurrence interval of 11 to 100 years.
• Unlikely —Less than 1 percent chance of occurrence in the next 100 years, or has
a recurrence interval of greater than every 100 years.
3.2.1 EARTHQUAKE AND SEISMIC HAZARD PROFILE
Type
Seismic events, or earthquakes, are the highest threat to the city of El Segundo. The two
principal seismic considerations for most properties in Southern California are surface rupturing
of earth materials along fault traces and damage to structures due to seismically induced
ground shaking. The following geologic hazards are associated with earthquakes and may be
caused by seismic activity and cause additional damage.
3.2.1.1. GROUND SHAKING
Ground shaking caused by a strong earthquake is probably the most important seismic hazard
that can be expected anywhere in the El Segundo and greater Los Angeles region. The amount
of earthquake shaking at a site is associated with the earthquake magnitude; the type of
earthquake fault; the distance from the site and the earthquake source; the geology of the site;
and how the earthquake waves decrease or increase as they travel from their source to the site
in question. Shaking from the earthquake intensifies with a greater magnitude and closer
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan

0
distance to the epicenter. Softer soils and topographic ridges can also amplify seismic ground
motions.
The shaking of the ground is caused by the sudden breaking and movement of tectonic plates
(large sections) of the earth's rocky outermost crust. Movements within the Earth's crust cause
stress to build up at points of weakness, and can cause deformation of rocks in the earth's
crust. Stored energy builds up and when the stress finally exceeds the strength of the rock, the
rock fractures along a fault, often at a zone of existing weakness within the rock. The stored
energy is suddenly released as an earthquake. Intense vibrations, or seismic waves, radiate
outward from the initial point of rupture, or focus, where the earthquake begins. These seismic
waves are what makes the ground shake and can travel large distances in all directions. Near
the focus, the waves can be very large, making them extremely destructive. The epicenter is the
point on the Earth's surface located directly above the focus of an earthquake.
3.2.1.2. LIQUEFACTION U k ti

3.2.1.3. LANDSLIDES
Some soil materials, such as clay minerals, have the capacity to absorb water, resulting in a
reduction of shear strength. The force of gravity can cause landslides when the shear strength
of saturated clay is reduced below its minimum stability threshold. Earthquake induced
landslides of steep slopes can occur in either bedrock or soils. Firm bedrock can usually stand in
steeper, more stable slopes than soils. Rock type, grain size, degree of consolidation and angle

of the beds all contribute to the strength or weakness of a bedrock hillside. Shale and deeply
weathered rocks are very susceptible to slope failures. The presence of excessive amounts of
water, or the lack of shear strength in the soil or at the soil -rock interface can also contribute to
unstable soil conditions. Areas at risk from landslides typically have steep slopes (15% or
greater), unstable rock or soil characteristics, or other geologic evidence of instability. The
bluffs along the coast of El Segundo have slopes greater than 30 %. Landslides can occur in the
slope areas within the city.
3.2.1.4. SUBSIDENCE
Land subsidence is defined as the lowering of the land surface. Many different factors can cause
the land surface to subside, such as a sinkhole, underground mine collapse, or a major
earthquake. Land subsidence can occur in various ways during an earthquake. Movement that
occurs along faults can be horizontal or vertical or have a component of both. As a result, a
large area of land can subside drastically during an earthquake. Land subsidence can also be
caused during liquefaction. Liquefaction can result in the settling and compacting of
unconsolidated sediment in an event of a major earthquake. This can result in the lowering of
the land surface.
3.2.1.5. SURFACE FAULT RUPTURE
Surface rupture is an offset of the ground surface when fault rupture extends to the Earth's
surface. Fault rupture almost always follows preexisting faults, which are zones of weakness.
Any structure built across the fault is at risk of being torn apart as the two sides of the fault slip
past each other. Normal and reverse surface fault ruptures have vertical motion while strike -
slip surface fault ruptures produce lateral offsets. Many earthquake surface ruptures are
combinations of both. Structures that span a surface fault are likely to suffer great damage.
3.2.1.6. EARTHQUAKE MEASUREMENT
There are two scales that are used to measure the severity and intensity of an earthquake.
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale measures the ground shaking intensity in terms
of acceleration, velocity, and displacement. The Moment Magnitude (Mw) Scale measures
the severity of the earthquake by the amount of energy released at the source of the
earthquake. The Mw scale, based on the concept of seismic moment, is uniformly applicable
to all sizes of earthquakes. The extent of damage from an earthquake is determined by the
magnitude of the earthquake, distance from the epicenter, and characteristics of surface
geology. Table 3 -4 shows an approximate correlation between the Moment Magnitude
(Mw) and the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale and its effects.

Location
El Segundo has no known earthquake faults within its boundaries, but due to the close
proximity of several faults, the entire city is equally subject to the earthquake hazard as shown
on the fault map on the following page:
The Newport - Inglewood Fault is 3.2 miles north - northeast of the city. The fault zone can easily
be noted by the existence of a chain of low hills extending from Culver City to Signal Hill. The
Newport- Inglewood Fault is a designated Alquist - Priolo Fault Zone for surface fault rupture
hazards. This fault is capable of producing earthquakes in the range of 6.0 to 7.4 magnitude
range. The Mw6.31933 Long Beach earthquake occurred on the Newport - Inglewood fault. The
Charnock and Overland Avenue Faults may represent two branches of this fault zone and
respectively are about 3.5 miles northeast and 4.5 miles northeast of the planning area. The
Newport - Inglewood fault is relatively active and due to its closer proximity to El Segundo,
would pose a more significant threat than the more distant San Andreas Fault.

The San Andreas Fault is located approximately 70 miles east and northeast of the city. This
fault marks the edges of the North American and Pacific tectonic plates, is 800 miles long, and is
capable of producing earthquakes in the magnitude 6.8 - 8.0 magnitude range.
The Palos Verdes Fault is located west of the city, offshore, and traverses the southern portion
of the South Bay. This fault has two branches - the Cabrillo Fault (probable magnitudes: Mw6.0 -
6.8) and the Redondo Canyon Fault (probable magnitudes: Mw5.8 - 6.5) which join the main
fault at different points along its route. The Palos Verdes fault is likely a right - reverse fault that
is capable of producing earthquakes in the 6.0 to 7.0 magnitude range and due to proximity
would also pose a more significant threat to El Segundo than the more distant San Andreas
Fault.
The Catalina Ridge Fault is a right - lateral strike -slip; and may be a right- reverse fault that is a
minimum of 30km off the coast. The seismically active portion of the fault is 60km and the slip
rate and interval between major ruptures is unknown. The Catalina Ridge Fault is capable of
producing earthquakes in the 6.5 to 7.3 magnitude range. This fault zone is probably much
longer than the 60- kilometer seismically- active portion, and may in fact extend far to the south,
to link up with the San Diego Trough fault zone, making it over 150 kilometers long.
The Santa Monica Fault lays north -west of the planning area and is one of several northeast -
southwest- trending, north - dipping, reverse faults that extend through the Los Angeles
metropolitan area. Its slip rate may be greatest at its western end. This fault is approximately
ten miles from El Segundo and is capable of producing an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0
to 7.0.

The Elysian Park and Torrance - Wilmington fold and thrust belts are deeply buried, low -angle
reverse or thrust faults that underlie the Los Angeles Basin. The Torrance - Wilmington Thrust
Zone may represent the deep- seated "master" fault thought to underlie the Newport-
Inglewood Structural Zone. These faults are thought to be capable of generating earthquakes
up to M 7.5. The largest earthquake attributed to these faults is the M 5.9 Whittier Narrows
earthquake of 1987. The inferred surface expression of the Torrance - Wilmington Fold and
Thrust Belt is located 6 -7 miles northeast of the planning area, while the actual fault plane
passes the site of the Chevron Marine Terminal, 1.5 miles off the coast.
Extent
El Segundo is located in a high seismic risk zone. There are four seismic zones in the U.S.A.,
ranging from 1 to 4; the higher the number the higher the earthquake danger. All of El Segundo
is situated within Seismic Zone 4 with the highest risk for seismic activity. A major earthquake
with ground shaking would be felt across the entire city of El Segundo. Earthquakes can cause
significant structural damage to buildings and infrastructure, injury to people and loss of life, as
well as damage to infrastructure networks and systems, such as water, power, gas, sewage,
communications, and transportation. The city of El Segundo has 14 un- reinforced masonry
(URM) commercial buildings located primarily in the older part of town (the 100 -300 blocks of
Richmond and Virginia Streets) which have all been retrofitted. A significant earthquake could
occur and exceed the response capabilities of El Segundo. Response and disaster relief support
would be required from other counties, private organizations, and from state and federal
governments.
Previous Occurrences
Southern California is one of the most seismically active areas in the U.S. The region has
experienced at least 52 major earthquakes, M 6.0 and greater, since 1796.

The most notable earthquake to affect El Segundo was the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The
epicenter was approximately 35 miles away, and although no catastrophic damage occurred as
a result of the earthquake, the South Bay area was affected. The marina at Redondo Beach King
Harbor suffered liquefaction failure, severely damaging facilities. A bridge at Hawthorne Plaza
collapsed, without anyone being injured. There was a gas leak in a neighborhood in Torrance. In
Inglewood, a man died of a heart attack, attributed to the earthquake. Within the area, a power
outage occurred, effecting 31,000 customers, including Los Angeles International Airport which
was closed for over two hours. Many windows shattered and items toppled and spilled
throughout the South Bay. In El Segundo, aside from similar damages as listed above, the
earthquake caused the north wall of Fire Station #1 to move slightly, and although not in
danger of collapse, the building requires retrofitting. A local emergency was proclaimed in
concert with the countywide proclamation. A Federal Disaster was declared.
Probability of Future Events
Earthquake probabilities are calculated by projecting earthquake rates based on earthquake
history and fault slip rates, not simply the number of occurrences within a span of years. The
result is expressed as the probability that an earthquake of a specified magnitude will occur on
a fault or within an area.
There is a strong likelihood that El Segundo will experience a significant earthquake from one of
the known major faults in the next 30 years. In 2008, the Working Group on California
Earthquake Probabilities (WGCEP) issued its 2008 Uniform California Earthquake Rupture
Forecast ( UCERF), which was endorsed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the
Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), and the California Geological Survey (CGS). The
2008 UCERF indicated that the probability of a magnitude 6.7 or larger (similar to the 1994
Northridge Earthquake) earthquake over the next 30 years striking the greater Los Angeles area
is 67 %. For the entire California region, the fault with the highest probability of generating at
least one magnitude 6.7 quake or larger is the southern San Andreas (59% in the next 30 years).
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 41
The likelihood of an even more powerful quake of magnitude 7.5 or greater in the next 30 years
is 46 %. Such a quake is more likely to occur in the southern half of the state (37% chance in 30
years) than in the northern half (15% chance in 30 years). El Segundo would experience strong
ground shaking and resultant damage to older structures if and when a major earthquake
occurs on the Southern San Andreas Fault.
3.2.2 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCIDENT
Type
A hazardous material is any substance that is flammable, combustible, corrosive, poisonous,
toxic, explosive or radioactive. Hazardous materials require special care in handling and
storage due to the harm they pose to public health, safety and the environment. Hazardous
substances can be in liquid, solid, or gas form, and can include toxic chemicals, radioactive
materials, infectious substances, and wastes. Most hazardous waste is identified by one or
more of its dangerous properties or characteristics: corrosive, ignitable, reactive, or toxic:
Corrosive - A corrosive material can corrode or destroy a substance. For example,
most acids are corrosives and can eat through metal, burn skin on contact, and give off
vapors that burn the eyes.
• Ignitable - An ignitable material can burst into flames easily and poses a fire hazard.
Ignitable materials can also irritate the skin, eyes, and lungs, and may give off harmful
vapors. Gasoline, paint, and furniture polish are ignitable.
• Reactive - A reactive material can explode or create poisonous gas when combined
with other chemicals. For example, chlorine bleach and ammonia are reactive and
create a poisonous gas when they come into contact with each other.
• Toxic - Toxic materials or substances can poison people and other life. Toxic
substances can cause illness and death if swallowed or absorbed through the skin.
Pesticides, weed killers, and many household cleaners are toxic.
Even with proper management and control, the dangers of hazardous waste can still have
damaging affects to people and the environment. Tanks used for storing petroleum products
and other chemicals can leak and catch fire; underground storage tanks weaken over time and
leak their hazardous contents. Transportation accidents, such as train crashes and overturned
trucks, can occur while transporting hazardous substances. There are also cases of intentional
and illegal dumping of hazardous waste in sewer systems, abandoned warehouses, or ditches in
remote areas to avoid the costs and rules of safe disposal.
El Segundo Fire Department is designated by the State of California as a Certified Unified
Program Agency (CUPA) and is authorized to apply statewide standards to each facility within
the planning area that treats on site or generates hazardous waste, operates underground
storage tanks, or stores hazardous materials. State and CUPA responsibilities include chemical
disclosure programs, Risk Management Plan audits and inspections, hazardous waste control,
underground tank and aboveground petroleum tank regulation, and industrial wastewater
pretreatment and storm water inspection requirements to meet National Pollution Discharge
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan

Elimination System water pollution control requirements. The City of El Segundo Environmental
Safety Division inspects the facilities that use, store, or produce hazardous materials to ensure
the facilities are in compliance with city, state and federal regulations.
The significance of the problems to the environment, property, or human health is dependent
on the type, location and quantity of the material released. Depending on the substance
involved, a hazardous materials release may affect nearby populations and or contaminate
critical or sensitive environmental areas. Although hazardous material incidents can happen
almost anywhere, certain areas are at higher risk. Businesses such as industrial facilities that
use, store, or dispose of such materials all have an increasing potential for major incidents.
Buildings near roadways that are frequently used for transporting hazardous materials and or
crossed by certain railways, waterways, airways and pipelines have an increased risk of being
involved in a hazardous materials incident.
Location
El Segundo has numerous industrial businesses that use, store, or produce hazardous materials.
Specific locations of hazardous materials are identified in the City of El Segundo Hazardous
Materials Plan which is maintained by the Fire Department's Environmental Safety Division.
Most of the businesses are located in the eastern portion and southwest corner of the City (see
Land Use map on the following page), but hazardous materials are also transported through the
city via pipelines, railroad and on highways.
The Chevron El Segundo Refinery (Chevron) encompasses slightly over 1.56 square miles of the
entire planning area (5.54 square miles). Chevron also has a Marine Terminal off the coast of El
Segundo with two berths for docking of tankers. The Chevron El Segundo Refinery is the largest
producing oil refinery on the west coast, with the capacity of processing 290,000 barrels of
transportation fuels per day. Gasoline, jet and diesel fuels are the primary products refined
from the crude oil. There are approximately 150 major storage tanks greater than 30 feet in
diameter, with a total storage capacity of 12.5 million barrels. The largest tank, tank #1015,
holds about 54,000 barrels with a diameter of 260 feet and a height of 64 feet. The refinery
receives 53,000 BPD crude via pipeline from California sources, and 141,000 BPD via tanker.
The refinery produces up to 110,000 barrels per day (BPD) of gasoline (45% of product),
100,000 BPD of jet and diesel fuel (41 %), 25,000 BPD of fuel oils and coke, a solid coal -like
material called petroleum coke, (10 %), and 9,000 BPD of LPG (4 %). There are ten miles of
railway and rail cars at Chevron that transport petroleum products from other locations to the
refinery and from the refinery to the other locations, such as the Port of Los Angeles. The El
Segundo Refinery supplies 40% of the jet fuel to Los Angeles International Airport and has 20%
of the gasoline market share in Southern California. Chevron is classified in a heavy industrial
area on the City of El Segundo Zoning Map.

Extent
El Segundo's level of exposure to hazardous materials can be understood by examining
the city's types of businesses, commercial traffic routes, highways, and sea exposure.
To date there are 342 businesses that use, store, or manufacture hazardous materials
in El Segundo and report hazardous materials incidents to the CUPA and State OES.
There are many industrial businesses that are classified in a light industrial area on the
El Segundo Land Use Element of the General Plan. There is a greater risk of exposure
and incidents in the areas classified as a heavy or a light industrial area. Within these
designated areas are approximately 50,000 commuters that work daily. Due to their
proximity to businesses that use, store, or manufacture hazardous materials, their risk
of exposure is higher than that of the population not in those industrial areas. An
accidental hazardous material release can occur wherever hazardous materials are
manufactured, stored, transported, or used.
Fire and life safety inspection records and hazardous material business plan reports are located
at El Segundo Fire Station #1 and maintained by the Environmental Safety Division. All
businesses and facilities are inspected at least three times a year for compliance. A mapping
database identifies all commercial hazardous materials locations and the types of chemicals
stored within each facility. The Fire Department has also established pre - plans, and conducts
regular inspections of commercial /industrial sites, and ensures placards and other measures to
identify risks to the community.
Previous Occurrences

These incidents account for the release of hazardous materials into the atmosphere and actual
spills of materials on the ground. All releases of material into the atmosphere must be reported
to the Cal OES Hazardous Materials Section. Any spill of a hazardous material is responded to by
the El Segundo Fire Department and also reported to Cal OES. The El Segundo Fire Department
records show that from Jan 1, 2004 to December 1, 2014 there were 122 hazardous material
incidents in El Segundo in which the Fire Department provided on -scene response.
A notable incident occurred on January 26, 1990, when a cloud of nitric acid was
released from the Hughes Aircraft facility in El Segundo. Seven people were sent to the
hospital, and 400 employees were evacuated from six different buildings. The amount of
nitric acid released was not reported, nor was the cause of the incident. Nitric acid is a
strong corrosive and is considered highly toxic. Hughes uses it to etch electronic circuit
boards for airborne radar systems.
* On October 18, 1990, a fire occurred at the Chevron El Segundo refinery sending flames
150 feet into the air. Firefighters extinguished the blaze after two hours of fighting the
fire, which was the result of a pump malfunction that triggered a release of 450 - degree
crude oil. No injuries were reported, and company officials described the damage as
minimal.

0 On March 13, 1988, a fire ignited by a hydrogen gas leak at the Chevron oil refinery was
extinguished by workers at the plant. The El Segundo Fire Department also responded
to the fire and remained at the scene for 20 minutes to ensure that the flames were out.
There were no reported injuries from the fire that occurred in the low- sulfur fuel section
of the plant.
Probability
Highly Likely— Previous occurrences indicate there have been 987 hazardous materials
incidents in the past 21 years. This equates to a hazardous materials incident every .02 years on
average or a 4700% chance of occurrence in any given year.
3.2.3 TRANSPORTATION INCIDENT —AIR AND RAIL
Type
This threat summary applies primarily to large -scale citywide and single point mass - casualty
disaster events that would cause sufficient casualties and /or fatalities to overwhelm local medical,
health, and mortuary services capabilities. Transportation incidents are typically an incident of air
or rail passenger travel that results in mass casualties. All but the most serious highway accidents
are excluded from consideration under this hazard since such incidents are generally handled by
emergency response services without emergency management organization involvement. There
are conditions related to a serious accident that could result in a mass casualty incident. Trucks
that transport hazardous materials drive through the city each day. Many of these trucks are
transporting large quantities of hazardous substances or extremely hazardous substances
classified by the Environmental Protection Agency. Trucks from industrial businesses within the
community often transport chemicals to ports or other receiving facilities. If a major vehicle
accident occurred with a truck transporting a large quantities of hazardous materials, it could
be life threatening to those involved and people in the immediate surrounding area.
Location
Local rail traffic passes through the city on a daily basis to and from the Chevron Refinery and
crosses Sepulveda Boulevard, Douglas Street and Aviation Boulevard. Rail traffic includes the Los
Angeles Metro Green Line which is on an elevated track through El Segundo making a vehicle and
train accident impossible. There is the potential for a pedestrian — rail car accident. The skies in
the area of El Segundo are heavily occupied by aircraft originating and departing from a number
of airports located in Southern California. The airports nearest to El Segundo, handling the
greatest amount of air traffic are:
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): LAX is the fourth busiest airport in the world.
Planes arrive and department at a rate of one per minute.
Long Beach Airport (LGB): LGB is ranked the 12th busiest airport in the nation. Planes
arrive and depart at a rate of 1.5 every two minutes.
Hawthorne Airport (HHR) averages 220 flights per day with 24 -hour operations and is
home to an FAA - operated Air Traffic Control Tower.
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015
46
Military aircraft also travel through the air space above the city. Although the occurrence of an
aircraft accident is rare, such an incident can result in extensive casualties, both in the aircraft and
on the ground.
Extent
Both air and rail hazards encompass many threats, such as hazardous materials incident, fire,
explosion, severe damage to rail lines, roadways, adjacent buildings, or vehicles,
roadway closures, evacuations, and loss of life if pedestrians or those in either the adjacent
buildings or vehicles are affected by the incident.
Any air accident will involve coordination among federal, state and local agencies. The City of El
Segundo Fire Department will coordinate with the Federal Aviation Administration, and agencies
from the County of Los Angeles, and State of California to provide the necessary resources to
manage such an event. The nature of an air mass casualty transportation accident will require
these agencies to establish a unified command post; disaster mortuary teams; set up medical aid
stations; and develop a plan for moving patients and resources.
A rail accident would be less devastating and typically involve vehicles driving on the city streets at
a train crossing. A railcar accident would most likely also be a hazardous materials incident. The
railroad crosses major streets in the commercial zone of the city. The tankers leaving or enroute to
the refinery are typically loaded with crude oil or other refined oil products. When a rail car is
involved in an accident or derailment, a combination of products and materials that are
extremely hazardous and /or flammable may be released and cause a rupture or burst into
flames.
Previous Occurrence
The Metro Net website provides the quarterly rail accident statistics for the past three years. In
fiscal year 2013 of the Metro Line operations (July 1- June 30 annually), there were two
accidents involving the Metro Green Line. The Green Metro Line has the least amount of
accidents of the entire Metro Net rail system.

3.2.4 PIPELINE EMERGENCIES AND OIL SPILLS

r� vw
Type
Although pipelines are the safest and most reliable way to transport natural gas, crude oil,
liquid petroleum products, and chemical products, there is still an inherent risk due to the
nature of the hazardous materials. Crude oil is a complex mixture of thousands of different
hydrocarbons and varying amounts of other compounds containing sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen
as well as salts, trace metals, and water. Crude oils can vary from a clear liquid, similar to
gasoline, to a thick tar -like material needing to be heated to flow through a pipeline. A
petroleum refinery's main job is to split crude oil into its many parts (or fractions) which are
then reprocessed into useful products. The type, number, and size of process units required at
a particular refinery depends on a variety of factors including the type of crude oil and the
products required. The interconnected units making up a refinery are tanks, furnaces,
distillation towers (fractionating columns), reactors, heat exchangers, pumps, pipes, fittings,
and valves. Products of crude oil refineries include:
• Fuels such as gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, kerosene, jet fuel, bunker fuel oil, and
liquefied petroleum gas
• Petroleum solvents including benzene, toluene, xylene, hexane, and heptane, which are
used in paint thinners, dry - cleaning solvents, degreasers, and pesticide solvents
• Lubricating oils produced for a variety of purposes, and insulating, hydraulic, and
medicinal oils
• Petroleum wax
• Greases, which are primarily a mixture of various fillers
• Asphalt
These products can be hazardous not only in their final state but as they are being processed
and refined. The principal hazards at refineries are fire and explosion. Refineries process a
multitude of products with low flash points. Although systems and operating practices are
designed to prevent such catastrophes, they can occur. In a refinery, hazardous chemicals can
come from many sources and in many forms. In crude oil, there are not only the components
sought for processing, but impurities such as sulfur, vanadium, and arsenic compounds. The oil
is split into many component streams
that are further altered and refined to
produce the final product range. Most,
if not all, of these component stream
chemicals are inherently hazardous to
humans, as are the other chemicals
added during processing. Hazards
include fire, explosion, toxicity,
corrosiveness, and asphyxiation.
At the Chevron Marine Terminal the

of flammable or toxic materials, or
other accidents that could cause

injuries, fatalities, or spills could occur and would be primarily associated with the flammable
vapors and other flammable materials transported as cargo by tankers visiting the Marine
Terminal. Damage prevention measures include routine inspection and maintenance, corrosion
protection, continuous monitoring and control technologies, public awareness programs, and
integrity management and emergency response plans.
Location
Pipelines owned and operated by various companies run beneath the city's streets. Pipelines
are primarily underground, which keeps them away from public contact and accidental
damage. Despite safety and efficiency statistics, increases in energy consumption and
population growth near pipelines present the potential for a pipeline emergency incident.
While pipelines are generally the safest method of transporting hazardous chemicals, they are
not failsafe. Pipeline product releases, whether in the form of a slow leak or violent rupture,
are a risk in any community. For example, the pipeline that provides the transport of jet fuel to
the Los Angeles International Airport lies underground along Virginia Street, in the residential
section of the city. The Chevron El Segundo Refinery has more than 1,100 miles of pipelines at
the facility site with additional pipes running through the Planning Area. Some pipelines enter
from the South and travel north along Sepulveda Boulevard and Aviation Street, and exit the
city to the north. The pipes vary in size from six to 18 inches in diameter, and are buried at
different depths.
About 90% of the crude oil processed at the El Segundo Refinery is delivered from its point of
origin to the facility by tankers. The crude oil is off - loaded by pumping it into underwater
pipelines at the offshore Marine Terminal to the onshore refinery. The terminal has two
separate mooring berths and can handle two tankers at a time. The two separate berths are
located approximately one and a half miles from shore, and are designed to allow for the safe
maneuvering of vessels.
Extent
Most fires, explosions, or pipeline spill incidents occurring at the Chevron Refinery are isolated
on the site. Pipelines running through the city are unlikely to burst or combust; jet fuel pipelines
are filled with oxygen -free liquid, and without oxygen, combustion cannot occur. Pipelines are
regulated by the Office of the State Fire Marshall Pipeline Safety Division. Pipelines are also
monitored by a complex data web called System Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
measuring the flow rate, temperature and pressure. The network transfers real -time data via
satellite from the pipelines to a control center where the valves, pumps and motors are
remotely operated. If any tampering with the pipeline occurs, an alarm sounds. The ensuing
valve reaction is instantaneous, with the alarm system isolating any rupture and setting off a
chain reaction that shuts down pipeline pumps and alerts pipeline operations within seconds.
Most jet fuel pipelines run underground, and in populated areas, must be over three feet below
the asphalt. The pipes are at least one inch thick steel. If the pipe did rupture, valves would cut
off and operators would receive an automatic alarm.

Oil spills are considered to be a significant impact along the coast and in the coastal waters.
Small spills can be mitigated and are classified as less than significant. Large oil spills (greater
than 50 barrels) may not be completely contained and, therefore, would be considered
significant impacts. The Chevron Marine Terminal reportedly loads and unloads approximately
2.6 billion gallons of oil annually. Significant adverse impacts on biological resources would
occur from a major oil spill. There are a great number of state, Federal, and international
regulations governing marine terminals and the transportation of hydrocarbons by vessel.
A moderate to large earthquake along one of the faults in the vicinity may result in strong to
intense ground motions at the site, and could include ground accelerations beyond design
specifications for facilities and, potentially, tsunamis. Ruptures of onshore tanks, pipelines, and
other components of the Marine Terminal facilities could occur and spill petroleum products.
Water quality impacts would result from changes in water chemistry after an uncontained spill
of crude oil or product either at the Marine Terminal or en route. The severity of the impact
depends on the size of the spill, composition of the oil, characteristics of the spill event
(quantity of discharge, location of the spill, and type of operation), the environmental
conditions and the effect of these conditions on propagation of the spill, and the effectiveness
of clean -up operations. If a large oil spill were to cause enough biological damage so as to result
in or contribute to the elimination of a species, an irreversible impact would result.
Previous Occurrence
This plan does not reflect a record of pipeline incidents or oil spills provided by Chevron. The
previous incidents listed were from personal or written accounts. The following incidents were
documented:
• On December 28, 1980 The John McCone oil tanker, a single hulled ship, spilled 105,000
gallons of heavy crude off El Segundo due to a hole in the ship's bottom.

• On August 31, 1991, three Southern Pacific railroad tankers carrying about 60,000
gallons of propane gas derailed but did not spill their contents. The three 20,000 - gallon
tankers were among six cars being pulled by a locomotive and derailed as the train was
switching tracks. No one was injured in the derailment. W1 as i Lej..iaiiLv es.�:�cmLke woogLo�
• On March 16, 1991, a 26 -inch pipeline at Chevron's offshore marine terminal was ripped
open by an oil tanker's anchor, causing a spill of about 27,720 gallons of a diesel -like oil
mixture into Santa Monica Bay.
« More recently on March 2010, a sludge oil spill occurred at the plant. (Source: El
Segundo Fire Department)
Probability
Occasional — Previous occurrences indicate there have been at least four pipeline or oil spill
emergencies in the past 23 years. This equates to a pipeline emergency every 5.75 years on
average or a 17.4% chance of occurrence in any given year.

3.2.5 TERRORISM AND NUCLEAR INCIDENTS
Type
The definition of terrorism by the Federal Bureau of Investigation is "the unlawful use of force
or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian
population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives."
The formal definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction (Title 18 USC section 2332a) is: (1) Any
weapon or device that is intended, or has the capability, to cause death or serious bodily injury
to a significant number of people through the release, dissemination, or impact of toxic or
poisonous chemicals or their precursors; a disease organism; or radiation or radioactivity; (2)(a)
any explosive, incendiary, or poison gas, bomb, grenade, or rocket having a propellant charge of
more than four ounces, or a missile having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than one
quarter ounce, or mine or device similar to the above; (b) poison gas; (c) any weapon involving
a disease organism; or (d) any weapon that is designed to release radiation or radioactivity at a
level dangerous to human life.
Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) typically used by terrorists are categorized by an acronym
that lists the types of materials /weapons: CBRNE stands for chemical, biological, radiological,
nuclear, and explosives — BNICE stands for biological, nuclear, incendiary, chemical, and
explosives. The nature of each category of weapon is described briefly below:
Chemical: chemical weapons include blood and choking agents, nerve agents, blister agents,
and toxic industrial chemicals. The advantages of using chemical weapons for a terrorist include
they are easy to make, readily available, inexpensive, have an immediate effect, and are easily
spread. The disadvantages are they require significant quantities for a mass effect, and the
production and deployment are potentially hazardous to the terrorist. Some chemical agents
are odorless and tasteless and are difficult to detect, while others have distinct odors. They can
have an immediate effect (a few seconds to a few minutes) or a delayed effect (several hours to
several days). Routes of exposure for chemical weapons are inhalation, ingestion, absorption,
and injection. Unlike many of the biological weapons, first responders can take self - protective
measures by wearing personal protective equipment, first aid measures and effective medical
interventions are available, and chemical agent exposures can be decontaminated and agents
neutralized.
Biological: biological weapons are defined as bacteria, viruses, or toxins used to produce illness
or death in people, animals, or plants. The advantages of biological weapons are that they are
easy to make, readily available, and relatively inexpensive. The disadvantages include delayed
effects and potential deployment hazards to the terrorist. Routes of exposure for biological
weapons are inhalation, ingestion, absorption, and injection. Biological agents can be dispersed
as airborne particles or aerosols on food items or in water, or through an injection. Terrorists
may use biological weapons because the agents odorless, tasteless, and extremely difficult to
detect.
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 52
Radiological / Nuclear: radioactive or nuclear weapons are typically in the form of a traditional
fission device such as an atom bomb, a radiological dispersal device, often called a dirty bomb,
or a conventional explosion at a nuclear facility. The advantages of radiological or nuclear
weapons are that the materials are available, cause devastating effects and a great
psychological impact on the population. The disadvantages include delayed effects, deployment
is hazardous to the terrorists, and they are extremely expensive — in the millions of dollars for a
nuclear weapon. Radiation cannot be detected by human senses. Consequences may include
death, severe health risks to the public, damage to the environment, and extraordinary loss of,
or damage to, property. The health effects of radiological or nuclear materials include radiation
burns, fragmentation wounds, acute radiological poisoning, and long term effects, such as
cancers and birth defects.
Explosives: explosive weapons are most terrorist's weapon of choice. 86% of domestic terrorist
incidents involve the use of explosives. Explosives are readily available and have dramatic
results, are low risk, require few skills to build and use, are easy to execute, allow for remote
attacks, and don't require many people to execute. There are low explosives and high
explosives. The effects include blast pressure, both positive and negative, fragmentation, and
thermal. There are pipe bombs or bombs that can be easily concealed into a backpack, box,
vehicles, or virtually any type of container, with numerous trigger mechanisms to set off the
bomb. Bombings account for up to 50% of worldwide terrorist attack patterns.
Cyber- terrorism: according to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, cyber terrorism is any
"premeditated, politically motivated attack against information, computer systems, computer
programs, and data which results in violence against non - combatant targets by sub - national
groups or clandestine agents." As nations and critical infrastructure became more dependent
on computer networks for their operations, new vulnerabilities are created. A cyber terrorist
attack is designed to cause physical violence or extreme financial harm. Possible cyber terrorist
targets include the banking industry, military installations, power plants, air traffic control
centers, and water systems, but could be against any facility that relies on computers,
computer systems and programs for their operations.
Location
There is a wide range of motivations for terrorist attacks. They can be for or against almost any
issue, religious belief, political position, or group of people of one national origin or another.
Because of the tremendous variety of causes supported by terrorists and the wide variety of
potential targets, there is no place that is truly safe from terrorism. Primary locations likely to
be targets include airports, mass transit targets, government facilities, and high population
density locations, although so- called "soft targets" such as schools, local entertainments
facilities, etc. are also at risk. The potential for nuclear, biological or chemical terrorism is also a
concern. The entire Los Angeles basin is considered at risk for a nuclear event. These types of
emergencies could be devastating to any community and would necessitate detailed
contingency planning and preparation of emergency responders prior to such an attack.
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 53
-� I
El Segundo is home to numerous Fortune 500 and international companies, a military facility,
the largest refinery on the west coast, and elite shopping and dining areas all of which could be
a target for terrorism.
El Segundo is not within a planned range of a radioactive plume from the decommissioned San
Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. The city is approximately 14 miles outside of the ingestion
pathway zone, which is a 50 mile radius surrounding the generating station. There are no
known businesses or educational facilities that have a nuclear reactor on their premises within
the city.
Extent
As outlined in the 2010 National Security Strategy, there is no greater danger to the Nation than
a terrorist attack with a weapon of mass destruction. Terrorist acts may cause casualties,
extensive property damage, fires, flooding, and other subsequent hazards. Incidents generating
significant mass casualties make preparedness and the mechanisms for effective response
essential. In addition to large -scale attacks, a full range of terrorism tactics must be considered,
including simple bombings, chemical or biological incidents, explosions and cyber- attacks,
bomb threats, and the use of radiological and nuclear materials. Use of explosive devices
remains the weapon of choice for terrorist activity. The possibility exists that a terrorist
organization might acquire the capability of creating a small nuclear detonation. A single
nuclear detonation in the United States would likely produce fallout affecting an area many
times greater than that of the blast itself, certainly the entire Los Angeles region.
The entire Los Angeles region is considered a prime target for terrorist activity because of its
high economic and social profile. In 2003, the California Anti - Terrorism Information Center,
with the assistance of the California National Guard, compiled a list of potential terrorism
targets. The five top targets were listed as Los Angeles International Airport, the Port of
Oakland, the Port of Long Beach, the Golden Gate Bridge and Disneyland. These sites were
selected due to the economic, political and psychological impact if attacked. As mentioned in
the location section of this profile, many locations in El Segundo could be a target for terrorism.
Previous Occurrence

This equates to a terrorist act every 9.5 years on average or an 11% chance of occurrence in any
given year.
3.2.6 URBAN FIRES
Type
Due to the urban setting of El Segundo, there is no potential for wildland fires. As a result, fire
safety in the city is focused on commercial, industrial, and residential areas. The main fire
hazards of concern are those associated with industrial facilities using large amounts of
flammable or toxic materials, high -rise buildings, public gathering places, older buildings with
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015

0
substandard electrical and heating systems, and residential neighborhoods interspersed with
untreated wood shingle roofs.
Location
Major urban fires are typically associated with large or high density commercial, industrial and
residential developments. Although the residential area of the city is primarily single family
detached homes, there are numerous multi - family complexes throughout the residential area. An
uncontained fire could spread to adjacent homes or through apartment complexes.
There are numerous high rise buildings and industrial facilities in the commercial district of the city
that have the potential for large urban fires. These commercial businesses comply with fire hazard
regulations, so the probability of a large uncontrollable fire is not great. An area in town called
Smoky Hollow is susceptible to large fires or conflagration, only because historically the
buildings were built close together. Back in 1990, the Zoning Code was modified to require
sprinkler protection in all new structures in that area due to the closeness of the buildings and
lack of water supply. This requirement was codified in the 2007 California Fire Code, when the
adoption of that code took place.
Extent
A true urban conflagration is a large fire occurring in a built environment that spreads
beyond a city block to destroy sections of a city, or potentially engulfing adjoining
areas. The cause of a conflagration can be from:
• Criminal acts, such as arson, explosive devices, acts of terrorism, or civil unrest
Building infrastructure incidents, such as
faulty electrical and heating systems,
improper storage or handling of
flammable materials, or faulty connections
• Industrial accidents, such as hazardous
material incidents, large quantities of
combustible fuel, explosions, and
transportation accidents
• Natural hazards such as weather, lightning
strike, earthquakes, rupture of gas main,
etc.
• High winds which could spread fire to
other nearby buildings.
* Oil field fires in the city oil fields, at the
refinery, or oil and gas storage facilities
Between 1935 and 1987, seventy -six oil wells
were drilled in the El Segundo oil field, producing
13.6 million barrels of oil.

Many areas within the city are underlain by gas and oil deposits. Such deposits that exist under
the city can work their way to the surface or infiltrate structures, causing potential fires and
health hazards. The map shows the El Segundo oil field, photographed in 1994 by U.S.
Geological Survey. In the 1994 picture, the oil wells are displayed by white dots. Many of these

safety risk because
the public is not exposed to the methane. However, without adequate protection, the methane
gas could migrate into buildings or other enclosed spaces, where it could accumulate and
present a fire or explosion hazard. New development and building must conduct a geotechnical
report and often an environmental investigation where methane will be identified. A remedy
plan must then be developed in order to protect the health and safety of people due to toxic
substances like methane. Methane becomes explosive at about 50,000 parts per million (ppm),
and requires some type of remediation above a level of 5,000 ppm
Previous Occurrence
From January 1, 2004 through December 1, 2014 there have been 148 structure fires, 26 other
classifications of fires, and 60 cooking fires in El Segundo totaling $15,686,186 m in damages.
Although none of these fires resulted in an urban conflagration or spread to multiple buildings,
the costs in damages and danger to people are worth the efforts to mitigate fires in the city.
Probability

3.2.7 SEVERE WEATHER — TORNADOS, WIND, AND HEAT
Type, Location and Extent
Severe weather consisting of wind, heat and tornados pose a risk to life and property in El
Segundo by creating conditions that disrupt essential systems such as public utilities,
telecommunications, and transportation routes. Severe weather is generally any destructive
weather event, but in El Segundo it usually occurs as windstorms and excessive heat.
According to the Western Regional Climate Center, the average high and low temperatures
documented at Los Angeles International Airport (adjacent to El Segundo) in September are
75.37 and 63.27, respectively.
3.2.7.1 Tornados
High winds can and do occasionally cause tornado -like damage to local homes and businesses
in El Segundo and across Los Angeles County. Tornados could occur anywhere within the city
and there have been a few tornados that did touch down close to El Segundo. There have also
been water spouts in Santa Monica Bay off the coast of El Segundo, and west of Los Angeles
International Airport, which is on the northern border of El Segundo. The National Climatic Data
Center Storm Events Database has tracked 37 tornados since 1950 that touched down in the
county of Los Angeles, causing injuries to 45 people, no deaths, and a total of $56,193,000 in
damages. The largest tornado in the Los Angeles area was an F2 (max. wind speeds 111 -135
mph) that touched ground in South Central Los Angeles, 4.6 miles away from El Segundo,
injuring 30 people and causing up to $50,000 in damages.
3.2.7.2 Wind
The National Weather Service Severe Weather Definitions for high winds are as follows-,
* 25 to 38 mph (22 to 33 knots) -Wind or small craft Advisory
w 39 to 54 mph (34 to 47 knots) -High wind warning or Gale
* 55 to 73 mph (48 to 63 knots) - High wind warning or Storm

a seasonal phenomenon occurring mostly during fall, winter and spring, tending to peak in
December. The wind usually has its origin when cold air spills southward into the Great Basin,
trapped between the Rockies to the east and the Sierras and Southern California coastal range
to the west. This cold air mass is characterized by unusually high pressure near the land
surface. Winds are driven into Southern California and the Los Angeles basin when the
pressure of this interior air mass exceeds the pressure along the California coast.
3.2.7.3 Heat
Extreme heat is defined as temperatures that reach ten degrees or more above the average
high temperature for the region lasting for several weeks. In El Segundo, extreme heat is
generated when a high - pressure ridge inhibits the normal onshore breezes, resulting in
temperatures that reach between 85 - 99 °F and occasionally above 100 °F. Extreme temperature
can have severe impacts on human health and mortality, natural ecosystems, agriculture, and
other economic sectors. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported the
first eight months of 2014 were the warmest on average in California's history since record -
keeping began in 1895. The average temperature was 62.6 degrees in California over the 8-
month time period, which is 1.1 degrees hotter than the previous high and more than 4 degrees
warmer than the 20th century average. The California Department of Public Health reports heat
related deaths from 2000 to 2010:
Table 3 -9: CDPH Heat Related Deaths
The United States Department of Labor reports across the nation, from 2008 through July of
2014, 109 outdoor workers died of heat related illnesses, two of which were in Los Angeles
County.
Though excessive heat in El Segundo would impact all areas of the city, it would not affect all
citizens equally. The elderly, the very young, and those with chronic health problems are most
at risk when extreme heat occurs. People suffer heat - related illness when their bodies are
unable to compensate and properly cool themselves. The body normally cools itself by
sweating. But under some conditions, sweating isn't enough and a person's body temperature
rises rapidly. Very high body temperatures may damage the brain or other vital organs.

Previous Occurrence
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)

Although a tornado has never touched down in El Segundo, four tornados causing significant
damage and injuries have occurred within five miles of the city. El Segundo has moderate
weather due to being a coastal city, but there have been incidents of high heat in the city. The
highest recorded temperature in El Segundo was 110 °F in 1963. A severe windstorm with winds
over 41 knots in El Segundo has only occurred once in 64 years. While high impact wind
incidents can occur, they are not frequent in the city. In the Los Angeles area, November 30,
2011 through December 1, 2011, high winds from a Santa Ana event gusted at speeds
approaching 100 miles per hour, causing approximately $40 million in damage. The prolonged
winds toppled hundreds of trees, closed roads and schools and left more than 400,000 Edison
customers without electricity. Some utility customers were without power for up to a week. In
El Segundo, numerous trees toppled over, some onto houses causing property damage, but no
one was injured. In the Planning Area, the citywide power outage was resolved within 24 hours.
Probability
Occasional — past severe wind activity equates to a severe wind emergency every 64 years on
average or a 1.6% chance of occurrence in any given year.
Likely — past tornado activity equates to a tornado occurring every 1.7 years on average or a
58% chance of occurrence in any given year.
Likely — past excessive heat activity equates to excessive heat occurring every 6.4 years or a
16% chance of occurrence in any given year.
3.2.8 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCIES — EPIDEMIC AND PANDEMIC
Type
The City of El Segundo does not have any public health resources and relies on the Los Angeles
County Department of Public Health as the lead agency for all issues pertaining to public health.
Public health emergencies can be a local health emergency, or classified as an epidemic, or
pandemic. Epidemics and pandemics occur when a disease, often a strain of influenza, emerges
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan

to which the population has little immunity. An epidemic occurs when an infectious disease
spreads rapidly across a population. Epidemics can also be non - infectious such as the childhood
obesity epidemic currently within Los Angeles County and across the nation. A pandemic is a
global disease outbreak. HIV /AIDS is an example of one of the most destructive global
pandemics in history. Influenza pandemics have occurred more than once:
• Spanish influenza killed 40 -50 million people in 1918.
• Asian influenza killed two million people in 1957.
• Hong Kong influenza killed one million people in 1968.
The latest acute communicable diseases in Los Angeles County, reported in the Acute
Communicable Disease Control Program Special Studies Report, 2013, were botulism,
coccidioidomycosis (valley fever), Legionellosis (Legionnaires disease), hepatitis A
(multi -state from frozen food product), Campylobacter (fish ingestion), and norovirus.
More current communicable disease trends in Los Angeles County include respiratory
syncytial virus, influenza, West Nile virus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome,
Tuberculosis (among homeless persons), non -polio Enteroviruses, and Pertussis.
Location
El Segundo in its entirety is vulnerable to a public health incident, epidemic, or
pandemic. People that spend significant time in locations that have high concentrations
of people, such as schools, churches, restaurants, entertainment facilities, etc., where
bacteria can be spread through the air by respiratory droplets from a person coughing
or sneezing, or by viruses spread from an infected person's bodily fluids (snot and
spit), or by touching objects and surfaces that have the virus on them, are more
vulnerable to being infected.
Extent
Public health experts are always concerned about the risk of another pandemic where a disease
spreads between and amongst species. The National Health Foundation developed and tested a
Los Angeles County Pandemic Flu Hospital Planning Model that simulated two 25 -week
pandemics, moderate and severe, wherein 25 percent of the population (100,000) became ill in
a moderate pandemic and 35 percent (300,000) became ill for the severe pandemic. Key
findings included 204,000 patients would have unmet needs during a moderate flu pandemic
and 555,000 during a severe pandemic ,� 'r � This level of
�
disease activity would likely disrupt all aspects of society and may severely affect the economy.
El Segundo has no hospitals or major medical facilities or resources. All patients are transported
to medical facilities outside of the city for care.
Previous Occurrence
In 2003, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic took the lives
of nearly 800 people worldwide. There were 22 potential cases in Los Angeles
County, none of which were in El Segundo.
City of El Segundo

• From 1997 to 2005 statistics showed the prevalence of adult obesity increasing
from 14% to 21% and has continued to rise. In 2007, a Los Angeles County
Department of Public Health report stated obesity rates in children have tripled
since the late 1970's. This epidemic is ongoing and every city in the county is
affected.
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS) is a nationwide epidemic and a major cause of illness and
death in Los Angeles County for the past two decades.
Other illnesses such as influenza are episodic and occur annually but have not reached the
epidemic or pandemic level. In El Segundo, both medical (medications, vaccines) and non-
medical (school dismissal, isolation and /or quarantine) countermeasures will be implemented
as deemed appropriate to mitigate the impact of the emergency on the public's health and
safety. The City will, at the direction of the County Public Health Officer, implement all
procedures and protocols as recommended. To ensure consistent planning efforts, federal,
state, and county public health agencies use the World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic
phases to guide their planning efforts.
Probability
Likely — Previous occurrences indicate there have been three public health emergencies in the
past 20 years. This equates to a public health emergency every 6.7 years on average or a 15%
chance of occurrence in any given year.
3.2.9 FLOODING — LOCALIZED STORMS
Type
El Segundo has not had a major flood event since the area was first settled in the 19th century.
The main source of flooding for the city is from localized urban flooding caused by severe rain.
Surface water flow through the city is not concentrated within any natural occurring streams or
channels. Urbanization has led to the collection of natural surface waters in a complex storm
water drainage system.
The City has a complex Storm Water collection system consisting of catch basins, drainage
basins, pumping stations and force mains. There are four pump stations, three fore bays, plus
numerous catch basins connected to about 12 miles of storm drain mains owned by the City.
Additionally, there are 11 miles of storm drains, one large pump station on Center Street and a
pump station at Standard Street and El Segundo Boulevard, which is owned, operated and
maintained by the Los Angeles County Public Works Department.
There are three separate drainage systems: 1) the general area located west of Sepulveda
Boulevard and north of El Segundo Boulevard; 2) the Chevron Refinery located south of El
Segundo Boulevard and west of Sepulveda; and 3) the general area located east of Sepulveda
Boulevard. Several isolated areas located west of Sepulveda Boulevard drain by discharging to
the City's sanitary sewer system, which is carried to the City of Los Angeles Hyperion Treatment
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 62
Plant, for treatment and ultimate discharge to Santa Monica Bay (El Segundo Circulation
Element Update).
Many storm water and drainage projects have been completed within the city to mitigate local
flooding:
• In 1989 -1990 the Acacia /Cedar /Imperial Storm Drain project was constructed to divert
water into holding tank which drains into a large storm drain down Imperial Highway.
• In 2000 a new storm drain system was installed at the 600 block of Lomita.
From 1998 -2002, the Arena Drain Project was constructed which included a gravity
storm drain system at Franklin Avenue and Standard Street and the reconstruction of
the existing storm drain pump station at the El Segundo Boulevard and Standard Street
intersection.
• In 2002 a large gravity storm drain system (Southport Drain System) was constructed at
Mariposa Avenue and Hillcrest Street to achieve full flow capture and diversion to the
County storm drain.
• In 2005 Pump 16 was remodeled to include two pumps.
• In 2012 a new storm drain was installed at Mariposa and Maryland
• In 2013 new storm drains were installed on Maple near Nash.
• Numerous other projects including the Douglas Street Gap Closure project; the Virginia
Street Drainage Improvement project; the Maple Sump project; and building a storm
station to take water from the underpass.
Location
The National Flood Insurance Program ranks the majority of El Segundo in Zone X: an area
outside the 500 year flood zone with a less than 0.2% chance of annual flooding. The city does
not flood per se, but there may be ponding of water at flat or low spots. The El Segundo Public
Works Department has identified locations that need to be checked for drainage during major
storms to ensure water is draining efficiently. These locations have grates that allow water into
the drainage system and if clogged with leaves or papers will cause water to pond and potential
flood the streets. These locations are listed below and shown on the map following the
locations:
• The alley east of 108 Sheldon Street
* 118 Whiting Street at the alley
* 130 Loma Vista Street @the east alley

Previous Occurrence
EL SEGUNDO FLOOD RISK
A small portion of the city located along the coastline has been
determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to
be in a Special Flood Hazard Area Zone A which is subject to
inundation with a 1% chance of annual flooding. This flooding is
prevalent primarily in natural depressions within the sand dune
topography along the beach. Coastal flooding could also
potentially impact a small portion of the coastline located
generally between Grand Avenue and 45th Street.
Extent
Due to the mitigation efforts of the City to address flood issues,
the potential for flooding is specifically related to ponding of
water resulting from clogged storm drains in the areas listed
above during periods of heavy rainfall.
Historical flooding from winter storms caused proclamations of emergencies by El
Segundo in 1995 and 1998. In 1995, a series of storms over a few weeks hit the South
Bay area and caused $695,000 in response and rain related problems and damage.
Approximately 12 businesses in the Smoky Hollow area and six homes flooded due to
the excessive rain. The sewer system backed up due to so much water in the drainage
system causing additional problems. In 1998 there was an El Nino and significant rain
occurred causing $72,000 in damages.
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015

V
El Segundo records indicate disaster assistance funds were received for flooding emergencies in
1995 for severe storms resulting in $695,000 and in 1998 due to storms from an El Nino,
resulting in $72,000. After 1995, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District performed a
major upgrade of the storm drain system within the city, which resulted in significantly less
damages due to localized flooding in subsequent years. In 2004/2005 severe storms resulting in
damages valued at $45,000, although an emergency was not proclaimed.
Probability
Likely — Previous occurrences indicate there have been three flooding incidents with significant
costs from damage in the past 19 years. This equates to a flooding emergency every 6.3 years
on average or a 16% chance of occurrence in any given year.
3.2.10 TSUNAMI
Type
A tsunami is a series of ocean waves of
extremely long length generated by
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
massive undersea landslides, or any
other disturbance that displaces a large
water mass, causing a high speed
seismic sea wave or series of waves. As
the waves enter shallow coastal
waters, the wave speed decreases and
the wave height increases, with enough
momentum to flatten buildings and
trees and carry boats and ships inland.
Tsunamis can cause great loss of life and property
damage. Following the arrival of the first wave,
subsequent waves may increase in height and arrive minutes to hours later.
By definition, a local- source tsunami is when the source of the tsunami occurs within 1000
kilometers (621 miles) of the area. Local or nearfield tsunamis have a very short travel time (10-
20 minutes). The most likely cause of a local- source tsunami striking the Los Angeles area is an
earthquake occurring off the Californian coast causing a landslide to occur on the coastal shelf.
By definition, a distant - source tsunami is when the source of the tsunami occurs more than
1000 km (621.4 miles) away from the area. The event most likely to cause a distant - source
tsunami to strike the Los Angeles area is an earthquake occurring in the Pacific Rim; particularly
Alaska, Hawaii, or Chile.
The factors that determine the severity of a tsunami may include the source (local, distant or
landslide), the source location (epicenter or rupture surface), magnitude of the earthquake,
size - volume of slope failure, class of earthquake fault (strike -slip, dip -slip, reverse or thrust,

Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan

0
transform, or oblique), depth of water, tsunami amplitude, and sediment type, slope, and
potential seismic acceleration.
Extent
Based on the FEMA projected sea water run -up modeling of tsunamis, it is estimated that less
than 2% of the city would be directly impacted. The Chevron Marine Terminal facility and NRG,
Inc. are directly in the path of an incoming tsunami, well within the designated inundation zone.
Regarding an off -shore landslide causing a near shore tsunami, Lee et al. (2000) conducted a
study to isolate regions of shallow seated submarine slope failures in Santa Monica Bay.
Through GIS technology, the study evaluated parameters related to submarine slope failure,
including sediment type, slope, and potential seismic acceleration for susceptibility to
seismically induced slope failures. They found that the south facing flank of the Santa Monica
Mountains and the walls of the Santa Monica and Redondo Canyons are particularly vulnerable
to submarine sliding. Although the study had limitations to shallow seated submarine landslides
that may not be tsunamigenic, the findings highlight the potential for larger underwater slides.
Another study, conducted by researchers Costas E. Synloakis, University of Southern California
(USC) professor of civil and environmental engineering, Jose C. Borrero, assistant research
professor in the USC engineering school, and Mark Legg, a geophysicist working with the USC
researchers at the Viterbi School of Engineering described the tsunami hazard associated with
offshore faults, including one that lies under Santa Catalina Island. Restraining bends in the
fault trace, like the bend under Catalina Island, produce regions where earthquake stresses
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 66
0
cause the sea floor to pop up and generate a tsunami. "A magnitude 7.6 earthquake could
cause seafloor uplift of six feet or more," Borrero said. That, in turn, would disturb the sea
surface by the same amount, resulting in a tsunami.
Previous Occurrence
California has experienced tsunamis of both local and distant origin:
The December 21, 1812 Santa Barbara earthquake, appears to have generated a
moderate tsunami that affected over 60 km of the Santa Barbara coast causing
extensive damage to the Spanish missions of Santa Barbara, Ventura, and La Purisima at
Lompoc (Toppozada et al., 1981; Lander and Lockridge, 1989). Run up from this event is
believed to have been up to 4 meters (m) at El Refugio (40 km west of Santa Barbara),
and around 2 m in Santa Barbara and Ventura.
The November 4, 1927 Point Arguello- Lompoc earthquake (Ms 7.0) northwest of Point
Conception (Byerly,1930, Satake and Somerville, 1992). A 2 m wave was reported in
Surf, while at Port San Luis a 2 m leading depression wave followed by a 2 m leading
elevation wave was reported. This event was recorded on tidal stations in California and
Hawaii. A 10 cm tsunami height was recorded on a tidal gage in Hilo, Hawaii ( Satake and
Somerville, 1992).
On August 31, 1930, a moderate (Ms 5.2) earthquake centered off Santa Monica inside
Santa Monica Bay was widely felt across the Southern California region (Gutenberg et
al., 1932; Hauksson and Saldivar, 1986; Hauksson, 1990). Newspaper accounts after the
event describe a day of unusually large waves for the normally calm time of year (Lander
et al., 1993). One drowning was associated with the conditions and local lifeguards were
forced to make several rescues (Lander, et al., 1993). It is possible that the temblor
caused a submarine landslide that may have triggered a seiche within Santa Monica Bay
[Lander, et al., 1993].
Crescent City in northern California received extensive damage from a tsunami
generated by the 1964 Alaska earthquake (M 9.2). Recorded measurement of
the largest wave (crest to trough) following this event was approximately 6.5 feet
(2.0 m) at Santa Monica Bay (McCulloch 1985).
The most damaging tsunami in southern California occurred after the 1960 Chilean
earthquake (M 9.4), when wave heights up to approximately 8.9 feet were
recorded in Santa Monica Bay and more than $1 million in damages were incurred
(McCulloch 1985).

3.2.11 DROUGHT
Type
Drought is a lack of adequate water, whether atmospheric, surface or ground water, Drought
occurs over a prolonged period of time — typically more than one year, or lasting several years.
Drought impacts most the populations that rely on or are affected by a lack of water or annual
rainfall. A drought negatively impacts forests and wildland fires, the economy of the agricultural
industry, growth of feed and sufficient grazing for livestock, and rural residents that use wells or
small water systems for their water source. The California Department of Water Resources
(DWR) tracks water supply conditions across the state. Indicators include the annual snowpack,
precipitation, runoff, and reservoir storage. There are ten major hydrologic regions in the state.
By tracking the indicators in the hydrologic regions, the DWR can continually monitor drought
conditions and forecast potential drought or dry years in the 58 counties across the state.
In El Segundo, drought impacts are more related to social, economic, and environmental uses.
El Segundo is entirely urban; water usage is typically related to municipal, tourism, commerce,
and recreation, all of which require a constant steady supply of water.
Location
When a drought is in effect, the entire city is affected by the drought.
Extent
Currently, the State of California is in a severe drought. On January 17, Gov. Edmund G. Brown
Jr. declared a drought state of emergency. Dry conditions have occurred for the past three
years culminating in an historic drought in the state. Reservoirs, groundwater basins and
ecosystems are at half- capacity or less, and are stressed. The wildfire risk is extremely high.
2014 is the state's third driest in 119 years of record, based on statewide precipitation. In late
July, the U.S. Drought Monitor classified 58 percent of California in "exceptional" drought, the
most severe on the U.S. Drought Monitor's five -point scale, and that percentage remained
unchanged through September. More than 80 percent was in "extreme" drought (California
Department of Water Resources). On July 15, 2014, the California State Water Resources
Control Board approved an emergency regulation to ensure agencies and state residents
increase water conservation allowing local agencies to ask courts to fine water users up to $500
per day for failure to implement conservation requirements. As of November, 2014, at least
252 local water agencies have implemented some form of mandatory restrictions or
conservation actions in response to the drought.
The city's only source of potable water is imported from the Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California (MWD) supplied through the West Basin Municipal Water District
(WBMWD). Water is imported into Southern California through two major water supply
systems:
The Colorado River Aqueduct, constructed and operated by MWD, transports water
from the Colorado River to MWD's service area
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015
69
r
The State Water Project, owned and operations by the State Department of Water
Resources, transports water from the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta through the
California Aqueduct
MWD is the purveyor of imported water for most of Southern California, encompassing Los
Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties. This accounts for more than 60 percent of MWD's
Central Pool service area. MWD's service area covers approximately 5,200 square miles with a
resident population of over 16.5 million people.
MWD Service Area, 2014
Although MWD water supply conditions are below normal, and storage reserves are at their
lowest since 2008, the MWD has a Water Surplus and Drought Management Plan (1999) that
lays out a ten - year -plan to attain the region's 100 percent reliability goal. There is the possibility
of MWD having insufficient water for their customers. The plan addresses both surplus and
shortage contingencies:
i Surplus: Supplies are sufficient to allow Metropolitan to meet Full Service demands,
make deliveries to all interruptible programs (replenishment, long -term seasonal
storage, and agricultural deliveries), and deliver water to regional and local facilities for
storage.
Shortage: Supplies are sufficient to allow Metropolitan to meet Full Service demands
and make partial or full deliveries to interruptible programs, sometimes using stored
water and voluntary water transfers.
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015
70
I'"-
• Severe Shortage: Supplies are insufficient and Metropolitan is required to make
withdrawals from storage, call on its water transfers, and possibly call for extraordinary
drought conservation and reduce deliveries under the Interim Agricultural Water
Program.
• Extreme Shortage: Supplies are insufficient and Metropolitan is required to allocate
available imported supplies.
In El Segundo, the average annual potable water purchases are 8,800 acre feet per year. The
City sells approximately 8,300 acre feet per year of various qualities of recycled water to
Chevron and other customers through the WBMWD recycled water system. Recycled water
makes up approximately 48.5% of the total water demand from businesses within the city.
The City has 9.5 million gallons (mg) of capacity in two ground level steel reinforced concrete
reservoirs (3 mg circular tank, and 6.3 mg rectangular tank) and one elevated tower tank
reservoir (200,000 g). The reservoirs store water to be used for operations, emergency storage,
and firefighting:
a Operational storage serves to equalize variations in sources of supply and demand over
daily or weekly periods of time and to fight fires. This component is approximately 35
percent of the average day demand.
Emergency storage is used in the event of an
interruption in the primary water supply
source. MWD estimates that most outages in
service can be mitigated within seven days.
For El Segundo, this is approximately 55 mg
for the existing system and 60.5 mg for the
ultimate system. This amount of storage is
not feasible for a closed system, such as El
Segundo's due to the water quality issues
that would result from maintaining such large
quantities in storage.
Fire suppression storage is the volume
required to supply the planning area with
required fire flows, ranging from 2,000 to
8,000 gallons per minute for a duration of
two to eight hours. Maximum fire flow
requires a storage volume of 3.84 mg.` "°�'

Local governments and water suppliers are
responsible for managing their water system to
ensure an adequate and safe water supply. Drought response at the local level is commonly
voluntary or mandatory conservation imposed under local ordinances. The governing body of a
city or county may proclaim a local emergency when the conditions of disaster or extreme peril
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 71
exist. The proclamation enables the city or county to use emergency funds, resources, powers,
and to promulgate emergency orders and regulations.
Previous Occurrence
In the past, the County of Los Angeles, including the El Segundo, has experienced four droughts;
from 1976 -1977, from 1987 to 1992, in 2001, and from 2011 to 2014. In a period of 97 years,
1917 through 2014, Los Angeles County has had one drought declared disaster (source: Cal
OES). Los Angeles or El Segundo have yet to proclaim a local emergency due to the ongoing
drought.
Probability
Occasional - There has been four droughts that affected Los Angeles County and the cities
within its borders in the past 97 years. This equates to a drought occurring every 24 years on
average or a 4.1% chance of occurrence in any given year.
3.2.12 CLIMATE CHANGE —AIR POLLUTION
Type
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describes climate change as "any significant
change in the measures of climate lasting for an extended period of time. In other words,
climate change includes major changes in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns, among
other effects, that occur over several decades or longer." Many people confuse climate change
with global warming. Global warming refers to the recent and ongoing rise in global average
temperatures near Earth's surface, however, global warming represents only one aspect of
climate change. The Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.4 °F over the past century, and
is projected to rise another 2 to 11.5 °F over the next hundred years. Rising global temperatures
have been accompanied by changes in weather and climate. Many places have seen changes in
rainfall, resulting in more floods, droughts, or intense rain, as well as more frequent and severe
heat waves. The planet's oceans and glaciers have also experienced changes - oceans are
warming and becoming more acidic, ice caps are melting, and sea levels are rising.
Location
Climate change is occurring around the entire world, but the effects of climate change are
enhanced in coastal cities, like El Segundo. As greenhouse gases trap more energy from the sun,
the oceans are absorbing more heat, resulting in an increase in sea surface temperatures and
rising sea level. Changes in ocean temperatures and currents brought about by climate change
will lead to alterations in climate patterns around the world. For example, warmer waters may
promote the development of stronger storms in the tropics, which can cause property damage
and loss of life. The impacts associated with sea level rise and stronger storms are especially
relevant to coastal communities. Climate change will affect the city equally by geography, aside
from the aspect of sea level rise, which will affect the businesses directly on the coast. Sea level
rise can cause inundation or long -term waterline change, extreme high tides, coastal erosion,
and salt water intrusion.

The effects of these indicators include:
• Greenhouse Gases: human activities have increased the emissions of greenhouse gases.
As a result of the increase in emissions, average concentrations of heat - trapping gases in
the atmosphere are also increasing.
• Weather and Climate: average U.S. and global temperatures are increasing, while
attributes of weather and climate, such as precipitation, drought, and tropical cyclone
activity, are changing.
• Oceans: the oceans are getting warmer. Sea levels are rising around the world, and the
oceans are becoming more acidic.
• Snow and Ice: glaciers in the United States and around the world are generally
shrinking, while snowfall and snow cover in the United States have decreased overall.
The extent of Arctic sea ice is declining.
• Health and Society: warmer temperatures and later fall frosts allow ragweed plants to
produce pollen later into the year, potentially prolonging allergy season. The length of
Ragweed pollen season has increased at 10 out of 11 locations studied in the central

United States and Canada since 1995. The change becomes more pronounced from
south to north.
Ecosystems: many areas are experiencing earlier spring events, such as peak stream
runoff and flower blooms. Bird migration patterns are changing, and wildfire size has
increased.
The California Adaptation Planning Guide (APG): Planning for Adaptive Communities identifies
climate change impacts statewide as:
• Increases in the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme heat events and heat
waves in California, which are likely to increase heat — related illness and the risk of
mortality and morbidity for the elderly, individuals with chronic conditions such as heart
and lung disease, diabetes, and mental illnesses, infants, the socially or economically
disadvantaged, and those who work outdoors.
• A decrease in water supplies to California users due to higher temperatures melting the
Sierra snowpack earlier and driving the snowline higher, resulting in less snowpack.
• Intense rainfall events, periodically ones with larger than historical runoff, with more
frequent and extensive flooding.
• More frequent and persistent droughts in the 21st century.
• Increased snowmelt producing higher winter runoff from the landward side.
• Accelerated sea -level rise producing higher storm surges during coastal storms.
The APG: Understanding Regional Characteristics identifies regional impacts for the South Coast
region (Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Ventura counties) to include sea level rise, reduced
water supply, and public health issues — both heat and air pollution. Cal -Adapt (www.Cal-
Adapt.ora) projects the following climate projections for the South Coast region, which includes
EI Segundo:
• Temperature 1990 to 2100: winter temperature increase: 1 °F to 2.57 by 2050 and 5 °F to 6 °F
and summer temperature increase: 3 °F to 4 °F by 2050 and 5 °F to 10 °F
• Precipitation: low -lying coastal areas will lose up to 2 inches by 2050 and 3 to 5 inches by
2090
Sea Level Rise: by 2100, sea levels may rise 55 inches resulting in 45 percent more land in Los
Angeles County to be more vulnerable to 100 - yearfloods.
Heat Wave: along the coast, a heat wave is five days over temperature in the 80s. All areas
can expect 3 to 5 more heat waves by 2050 and 12 to 14 by 2100.
The State Water Project and the Colorado River are the primary sources of water used by the
South Coast region. In both cases, these water supplies originate in mountain snowpack, which
will be reduced by climate change, resulting in reduced water supply (APG: Understanding
Regional Characteristics). Further threatening the regional water supply is the vulnerability of
the levees protecting the California Delta, which feeds the State Water Project (DWR, 2011).

According to the Los Angeles Department of Public Health: Climate and Health Series Report,
changes to the climate also present significant health risks, including respiratory disease, heat -
related illness and death, poorer water quality, and vector -borne disease.
• Los Angeles County suffers from some of the worst air pollution in the country, which is
worsened by climate change. Hotter temperatures speed up the chemical reactions that
create ground -level ozone, the main component of smog. Ground -level ozone is linked
to asthma, bronchitis, heart attack, and premature death.
• Increasing temperatures also lead to heat - related illnesses and death. The human body
operates best within a narrow range of core body temperature, around 98.6 °F. As core
body temperature rises, the body cools itself by sweating and increasing blood
circulation close to the skin's surface. When this cooling system is unable to keep up
with a prolonged heat wave or a drastic change in temperature, the individual is at
greater risk of heat - related illness.
• Water quality is affected by heat - caused evaporation of bodies of water and reduced
snowfall, which may lead to more demand for water. When water resources dwindle,
the county is affected not only by the lack of water, but also by the quality of water.
Pollutants already existing in the water supply become more concentrated in smaller
bodies of water, increasing the risk of water -borne illnesses like diarrheal diseases.
• Hotter temperatures can cause vector -borne diseases. Vectors are living things, such as
insects or rodents that transmit disease to humans. Vectors like mosquitoes are an
increasing concern in the Los Angeles region. Mosquitos can carry diseases like Dengue
fever and West Nile virus (WNV). In 2013, mosquitoes that carried WNV contributed to
9 deaths and 165 infections in the county.
Previous Occurrence
Climate change was first observed and documented in the late 1800s. It has been an
increasingly constant hazard since that time, with more significant effects during the past three
decades more than any other time in history.
Probability
Since climate change has been constantly occurring since the late 19th century, the probability
of occurrence cannot be calculated using the described standard as with the previous hazards.
Climate change will continue to occur and gradually increase in severity through the year 2100
and into the next century.
3.3 RISK ASSESSMENT
A risk assessment involves evaluating vulnerable assets, describing potential impacts, and
estimating losses for each hazard. The intention of a risk assessment is to help the community
understand the greatest risks facing the city. The risk assessment defines and quantifies
vulnerable populations, buildings, critical facilities, and other assets at risk from hazards, and is
based on the best available data and the significance of the hazard. The risk assessment further
examines the impact of the identified hazards on the city, determines which areas of the city
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan
January 2015 75

are most vulnerable to each hazard, and estimates potential losses to City facilities for each
hazard.
3.3.1 HAZARD RISK RATING
For the 2015 HMP, the risk for each hazard was rated using the Calculated Priority Risk Index
(CPRI). The CPRI examines four criteria for each hazard (probability, magnitude /severity,
warning time, and duration (Table 3 -13). For each hazard, an index value is assigned for each
CPRI category from 0 to 4 with "0" being the least hazardous and "4" being the most hazardous
situation. This value is then assigned a weighting factor and the result is a hazard ranking score
(Table 3 -14). Table 3 -15 is an overall summary of the hazard evaluations for the city.

3.3.4 IDENTIFICATION OF CRITICAL FACILITIES AND ASSETS
The location and operations of high -risk facilities such as critical infrastructures and key assets
in or near El Segundo are a significant concern with respect to a disaster. The planning team
reviewed the critical facilities represented in the 2009 HMP and found that many facilities now
considered critically important were not listed. The 2015 HMP added critical infrastructure,
private businesses, schools and churches to the list. The planning team used FEMA's "Public
Assistance Guide" (FEMA 322) that defines critical facilities as shelters, hospitals ECICs, data
centers, utility plants or high hazardous materials facilities, and the example from the FEMA
Hazard Mitigation Handbook that described three categories of facilities for analysis to revise
the list: critical facilities such as City operations and public safety; high potential loss facilities
such as businesses, churches, schools, and facilities with hazardous materials; and critical
infrastructure such as streets and bridges, airports, and oil refineries. Table 3 -16 lists the
revised critical facilities for the 2015 HMP.

3.3.6 CULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY
In El Segundo the local plunge, the Urho Saari Swim Stadium, has been designated a National
Historic property through the National Register maintained by the National Park Service.
Natural resources include threatened and endangered species, and sensitive habitats. The local
El Segundo Blue Butterfly is on the federal list of endangered species. The El Segundo Blue
Butterfly lives on the dune system which lies north of the city, west of Los Angeles Airport, and
on the property occupied by Chevron. In order to ensure the future of the El Segundo Blue, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as officials from the LAX and Chevron Oil have
undertaken important dune management programs which focus on removing exotic plants and
reestablishing the sites' native vegetation. In addition, several sites are currently being
examined for their potential as reintroduction sites for the species.
3.3.7 RISK ASSESSMENT AND POTENTIAL LOSS
A risk assessment determines the vulnerability of assets within the city by evaluating the
hazards in the city with an inventory of the existing property and population exposed to a
hazard. A quantitative vulnerability assessment is limited to the exposure of people, buildings,
and infrastructures to the identified hazards. The risk assessment includes only those hazards
that have the ability to cause damage to buildings and infrastructures, therefore, hazardous
materials, drought, public health and climate change are not included in this assessment.
Flooding and tsunami are also not included due to the lack of City facilities in the designated
hazard areas — along the coastline of the city. More detailed assessments of risk that would
include deaths and injuries, and economic losses, are beyond the scope of this plan. Table 3 -18
provides an analysis of El Segundo's critical facilities, impacting hazards, and total exposure.

3.3.8 ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL LOSSES
FEMA requires that an estimation of loss be conducted for the identified hazards to include the
number of potential structures impacted by the hazards and the total potential costs. The
analysis of potential losses calculated in Table 3 -19 used the data currently available to produce
the estimations of loss. These estimates may be used to understand relative risk from hazards
and potential losses. There are uncertainties in any loss estimation method, resulting from lack
of scientific study and the exact result of hazard effects on the built environment, and from the
use of approximations that are necessary for a comprehensive analysis.
In addition, this assessment does not include analysis of non -City owned facilities, even though
they are deemed critical. The City does not have replacement or content values or insured
values for critical infrastructure, private businesses, schools and churches. A mitigation action
was developed to acquire that information so a complete analysis of critical facilities could be
completed to show total potential loss in the city.
A quantitative assessment has been prepared for the critical facilities affected by each hazard
assessed, and multiplied by a value of percent damage. The percent damage was determined
by the geographic area at stake, previous history of damage from the type of hazard, and
potential for severity from the hazard profiles.
In addition, HAZUS analyses for two scenarios — a 6.7 earthquake on the Newport - Inglewood
Fault and a 6.9 earthquake on the Palos Verdes Fault - were prepared. These reports were
prepared using Hazus -MH 2.2, which is based on 2010 census data. Due to the length of the
reports, they were included as appendices. See Appendix E Summary Report for Newport -
Inglewood Fault and Appendix F Summary Report for Palos Verdes Fault for the Hazus -MH

earthquake event reports. Because the city is not within a flood zone, nor is the city vulnerable
to hurricanes, reports on those hazards were not prepared through Hazus.
Hazardous materials, public health, drought, and climate change hazards do not cause
structural damage to buildings and were not assessed in the Summary of Potential Loss..
3.4 NFIP INSURED STRUCTURES
According to the NFIP, a repetitive loss structure is an insured building that has had two or
more losses of at least $1,000 each being paid under the NFIP within any ten year period since
1978. In El Segundo, there have not been any floods in the past 15 years so there have not
been any repetitive loss structures in the City. Due to the lack of repetitive loss properties in the
City, there are no areas that are deemed to be especially vulnerable to repetitive loss. The NFIP
has ranked the majority of El Segundo in Zone X. Zone X is an area with minimal -risk and flood
insurance is not mandatory. The only area with the potential for flooding in the City is a small
portion of the coastline located between Grand Avenue and 45th Street. This portion has been
determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to be in a Special Flood Hazard
Area, Zone A, which is subject to inundation with a 1% chance of annual flooding. There has
also not been any flooding in the special flood hazard area along the coastline, nor any
buildings with repetitive losses from flooding. A flood map is shown in Section 3.2.9 in the flood
hazard profile section of this plan.

The federal regulations require local mitigation plans to identify goals for reducing long -term
vulnerabilities to the identified hazards in the planning area (Section 201.6(c)(3)(i)).
FEMA REGULATION CHECKLIST: CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT
44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3): —The plan must include mitigation strategies based on the jurisdiction's "existing
authorities, policies, programs and resources, and its ability to expand on and improve these existing tools."
Elements
C1. Does the plan document the jurisdiction's existing authorities, policies, programs and resources, and its
ability to expand on and improve these existing policies and programs? 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3).
C2. Does the Plan address the jurisdiction's participation in the NFIP and continued compliance with NFIP
requirements, as appropriate? 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3)(ii).
C3. Does the Plan include goals to reduce or avoid long -term vulnerabilities to identified hazards? 44 CFR §
201.6(c)(3)(1).
C4. Does the Plan identify and analyze a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects
for the jurisdiction being considered to reduce the effects of hazards, with emphasis on new and existing
buildings and infrastructure? See 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(3)(ii).

A hazard mitigation plan's primary focus is the mitigation strategy. It represents the efforts
selected by the City to reduce or prevent losses resulting from the hazards identified in the risk
assessment. The strategy includes mitigation actions and projects to address the risk and
vulnerabilities discovered in the risk assessment. The mitigation strategy consists of the
following steps:
0 Revise the 2009 local hazard mitigation goals.
• Identify new and updated mitigation actions and projects.
• Revise the mitigation strategy to implement the mitigation actions.
• Develop an action plan to prioritize, implement, and administer the mitigation actions.
• Develop a process to integrate the requirements Implement the 2015 HMP mitigation
action plan.
A capability assessment was conducted of the City's authorities, policies, programs, and
resources. From the assessment, goals and mitigation actions were developed. The planning
team also developed a plan to prioritize, implement, and administer the mitigation actions to
reduce risk to existing buildings and new development. This section also includes information
regarding El Segundo's implementation of and continued participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP).

4.1 EXISTING AUTHORITIES, POLICIES, PROGRAMS, AND RESOURCES
The planning team conducted an assessment of the City's capabilities that contribute to the
reduction of long -term vulnerabilities to hazards. The capabilities include authorities and
policies, such as legal and regulatory resources, staff, and fiscal resources, e.g., technical
personnel such as planners /engineers with knowledge of land development and land
management practices, engineers trained in construction practices related to building and
infrastructure, planners and engineers with an understanding of natural or human - caused
hazards, floodplain managers, surveyors, personnel with GIS skills, and staff with expertise of
the hazards in the city. The planning team also considered ways to expand on and improve
these existing policies and programs with the goal of integrating hazard mitigation into the day -
to -day activities and programs of the City. Tables 4 -1, 4 -2, and 4 -3 summarize the existing
authorities, policies, programs, and resources to implement mitigation actions and projects.

As a result of conducting the capabilities assessment, it became evident that the process of
changing and improving current plans and regulation is ongoing. The City continually, and often

on an annual basis, modifies and revises plans, documents, procedures and regulations
involving actions related to hazard mitigation. This may come as a change in or adoption of a
state or federal regulation, or may be a revision to a City ordinance or development of a new
program. The City is involved in expanding and improving its existing policies and programs.
4.2 NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM PARTICIPATION AND COMPLIANCE
In March 2009, the City of El Segundo adopted the Model Floodplain Management Ordinance
for Special Flood Hazards within the city in order to maintain eligibility within the National
Flood Insurance Program (Environmental Assessment No. 812).
Since 1968 the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has provided federally funded flood
insurance to homeowners, renters, and businesses in communities that adopt and enforce
floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. The adoption of Ordinance
1427 allows residents of the city to remain eligible to purchase flood insurance through the
National Flood Insurance Program. The Ordinance meets the minimum standards set forth in
Title 44, Section 60.3 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The City of El Segundo does not
participate in the Community Rating System.
The City of El Segundo coastal zone consists of an area of approximately 50 acres in area. The
linear extent of beach frontage is slightly less than one mile and the coastal zone in this area is
approximately 200 yards in width. The Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) appears to be roughly
contiguous with the portion of the city's coastal zone designated as "shoreline" area within the
City's Local Coastal Program (LCP).
The LCP allows for the construction of beach facilities, such as lifeguard towers and rest room
facilities and allows for above or below grade facilities required as part of the operation of
coastal dependent energy facilities. The Floodplain Management Ordinance's effect is limited to
requiring that any new construction or substantial improvement to existing structures will have
to comply with the standards of construction identified in the Ordinance. The City's continued
involvement in NFIP supports this plan. Currently, the City of El Segundo implements a
floodplain management program designed to protect the people and property of the city and
implements activities such as public information and outreach activities, mapping and
regulatory activities, and flood damage reduction activities as outlined in the Standard Urban
Storm Water Mitigation Plan and Los Angeles County and Cities Urban Storm Water Mitigation
Plan. In 2010 the City updated their Coastal Development procedures to ensure that all public
and private development in the Coastal Zone of El Segundo is consistent with the City's certified
Local Coastal Plan. The area affected by these regulations is located west of Vista Del Mar. (Ord.
1212, 11 -16 -1993)
There are only two businesses located in the SFHA, Chevron and NRG, Inc. There are also
restrooms and a lifeguard tower on the beach. It is unknown if Chevron and /or NRG, Inc. have
purchased a NFIP policy, or if they are self- insured for damage to their facilities.

4.3 2015 HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN GOALS
Mitigation goals are guidelines that represent what the community wants to accomplish
through the mitigation plan. Goals are broad statements that represent a long -term, community -
wide vision. The planning team reviewed the goals from the 2009 HMP and decided to change
the goals to reflect information from the risk analysis, and align them with the hazards added to
the 2015 plan and input from stakeholders and the public. Table 4 -4 lists the 2009 goals and the
revised goals for the 2015 HMP.
Table 4 -4 Revised Hazard Mltleation Goals

Goal 1: Protect life, property, and reduce potential injuries
from natural, technological, and human - caused hazards.

W
Goal 5: Enhance the City's ability to effectively and
immediately respond to disasters.
4.4 MITIGATION ACTIONS
Mitigation actions are specific activities or projects that serve to meet the goals that the
community has identified. Mitigation actions and projects are more specific than goals or
objectives, and often include a mechanism, such as an assigned time period, to measure the
success and ensure the actions are accomplished. The planning team conducted a review of the
mitigation actions and strategies from the 2009 HMP. With information from the 2015 risk
assessment, capability assessment, and status of the actions implemented since the 2009 HMP,
the planning team developed 31 new mitigation actions and projects to reduce the effects of
hazards, with emphasis on new and existing buildings and infrastructure.
Table 4 -5 lists the potential mitigation actions developed by the planning team. For each
mitigation action, the following information is listed: type of mitigation project; hazard(s)
addressed; type of development affected by action; and the source of the mitigation project
idea.

4.5 2015 HMP MITIGATION ACTION PLAN
The mitigation action plan developed by the planning team includes the action items that El
Segundo intends to implement during the next five years, assuming funding availability. The
action plan, shown in Table 4 -6, includes the implementing department, an estimate of the
timeline for implementation, and potential funding sources.
The new mitigation actions include a broad range of approaches to hazard mitigation such as
retrofitting, code enforcement, development of new regulations, public education,
development of redundant facilities, and others. Measures are included to mitigate risks to
existing buildings and infrastructure, as well as new buildings and infrastructure. The mitigation
action plan assigns primary responsibility for each of the action items to an implementing
department. The implementing department is the controlling department that will assign
funding and oversee activity implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.
The planning team does not presume the expertise to prescribe which projects will be
implemented. The prioritization of projects in the HMP is a means to provide a basis for
implementing the mitigation strategies, but all new mitigation actions and projects will be
formally prioritized and selected by the implementing department. This will accommodate the
project funding, schedule of the department, staff requirements, and ability to integrate the
new project into existing and ongoing projects. Departments will take into account the funding
source, the cost effectiveness of the project, alternative projects, the compatibility of the new
project with ongoing projects, the extent to which the project addresses the risks assessed in
Section 3, and the potential of economic and social damage.
Prioritization
To assist with implementing the Mitigation Action Plan, the planning team used the following
ranking process to provide a method to prioritize the projects for the Action Plan. Designations
of High, Medium, and Low priorities have been assigned to each action item using the following
criteria.
Does the action: Solve the problem?
Address vulnerability assessment?
Reduce the exposure or vulnerability to the highest priority hazard?
Address multiple hazards?
Offer benefits that equal or exceed costs?
Implement a goal, policy, or project identified in the General Plan or
Capital Improvement Plan?
Can the action: Be implemented with existing funds?
Be implemented by existing state or federal grant programs?
Be completed within the five -year life cycle of the LHMP?
Be implemented with currently available technologies?
Will the action: Be accepted by the community?
Be supported by community leaders?
Adversely affect segments of the population or neighborhoods?
Require a change in local ordinances or zoning laws?
Result in positive or neutral impact on the environment?
Comply with all local, state, and federal environmental laws and
regulations?
Is there: Sufficient staffing to undertake the project?
Existing authority to undertake the project?
Each positive response is equal to one point. Answers to the criteria above determined the priority
according to the following scale:
1-6 = Low priority 7 -12 = Medium priority 13 -18 = High priority
Benefit -Cost Analysis
Conducting benefit /cost analysis for a mitigation activity can assist the City in determining
whether a project is worth undertaking now, in order to avoid disaster related damages later.
Cost - effectiveness analysis evaluates how to best spend a given amount of money to achieve a
specific goal. Determining the economic feasibility of mitigating hazards can provide decision
makers with an understanding of the potential benefits and costs of an activity, as well as a
basis for comparing alternative projects.
Funding
The funds required to implement the mitigation action plan will come from a variety of sources
including: Federal Hazard Mitigation Grants, City budget, bonds, fees and assessments, and
others. Some projects are, or will be, included in capital improvement budgets, while some,
especially ongoing projects, are included in department operating budgets.
Prior to beginning a project or when federal funding is involved, the implementing department
will use a FEMA approved benefit /cost analysis approach to identify the actual costs and
benefits of implementing these mitigation actions. For non - structural projects, implementing
departments will use other appropriate methods to weigh the costs and benefits of each action
item, and then develop a prioritized list.
Implementation
Mitigation projects were assigned one of three categories as a tentative schedule for
implementation; short - range, mid - range, and long- range. Projects that are currently being
implemented by various departments are assigned to the ongoing category. Implementation of
short -range projects will typically begin within the next three years. Mid -range projects will
require some planning and likely require funding beyond what is currently allocated to the
various departments in the City's general fund. Projects in the mid -range category will generally
begin implementation in the next three to five years. Long range projects will require great
planning and funding and will generally begin implementation within five years and beyond.

4.6 INCORPORATION OF H M P INTO OTHER PLANNING MECHANISMS
The hazard mitigation plan process provided the City with an opportunity to review and expand
on policies contained in the general plan. The City views the general plan and the hazard
mitigation plan as complementary documents that work together to reduce risk exposure to
the citizens of El Segundo. Many of the ongoing recommendations identified in the 2015 HMP
are programs recommended in the general plan.
Per California Assembly Bill 2140, the City intends on adopting the hazard mitigation plan in
accordance with the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 as part of the safety element of the
general plan, adopted pursuant to Section 65302 (g) of the California Government Code. As
appropriate, the City will incorporate hazard mitigation hazards and risks, plan
recommendations, and mitigation activities into additional planning mechanisms and processes
such as the following documents:
• City emergency operations plans and procedures
• Capital improvement planning and programs
• El Segundo municipal code
• Community design guidelines
• Drought and water - efficiency guidelines
• Stormwater management program
• Local Coastal Plan
• Environmental Work Plan
• General Plan Conservation Element
• Tsunami Response Plan
Incorporation of action items and processes from the 2015 HMP into various planning documents
will be completed as other plans are updated, and when new plans are developed. These
efforts may coincide with the Plan Maintenance Method and Schedule activities. Additional
action items may be implemented through the creation of new public educational programs,
continued interagency coordination, and public input and participation.

FEMA REGULATION CHECKLIST: PLAN
REVISION Plan Revise to Reflect Development Changes
44 CFR § 201.6(d)(3): A local jurisdiction must review and revise its plan to reflect changes in development.
Element
D1. Was the plan revised to reflect changes in development? 44 CFR § 201.6(d)(3).
D2. Was the plan revised to reflect progress in local mitigation efforts? 44 CFR § 201.6(d)(3).
D1. Was the plan revised to reflect changes in priorities? 44 CFR § 201.6(d)(3).
Source: FEMA, Local Mitigation Planning Handbook Review Tool, March 2013.
5.1 CHANGES IN DEVELOPMENT
The HMP reflects current conditions and development patterns as a result of the evaluation and
revision of hazard and risk information for the 2015 HMP. While growth in the city has not
changed much, due to the small availability of vacant land, remodeling and rebuilding of new
business and recreation complexes has grown and will continue to expand. The City has
implemented many changes in development that has decreased the vulnerability of the city
since the 2009 HMP was approved. Some of the projects include:
• A drainage improvement project mitigating ponding of water from localized flooding
• A recycled water program resulting in 50% of El Segundo's water demand being met by
recycled water
• Environmental programs such as purchasing low emission vehicles, and preparation of
an Air Quality Element to the General Plan
• Implementing a seismic retrofit of Fire Station #1
• New communications and data technology for the City and in the EOC's
• Extension of the storm drain system
• Adoption of new Building Codes, state and international
• Water main replacement program
• Construction of a new Fire Station #2
• Roof replacement of City buildings
• Evaluations and repairs of City water reservoirs
• Purchase of radio systems to receive severe weather and tsunami notifications
• Sewer system telemetry and repair or replacement program
The City has completed numerous projects that have reduced the vulnerability to many
hazards, including severe weather, earthquakes, flooding, drought and climate change.
City of El Segundo
Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan

Departments will continually consider new mitigation strategy projects throughout the year and
into the future. Projects will continue to mitigate hazards and reduce vulnerability across the
city.
5.2 PROGRESS IN LOCAL MITIGATION EFFORTS
During the 2015 HMP update process, the planning team reviewed the 2009 HMP mitigation
actions and provided an update on those actions that were selected for implementation. Table
5 -1 contains the results of this review, which shows the progress made by El Segundo over the
last five years in implementing the strategies selected in 2009. The table indicates a description
of the project and the implementing department.

The remainder of the mitigation actions from the 2009 HMP were either included in the 2015
HMP or removed from the list of mitigation actions. The 2009 HMP utilized a list of over 300
mitigation actions taken from numerous mitigation plans across the county as the basis of the
actions for the El Segundo HMP. Many of the actions were not truly mitigation activities but
disaster preparedness activities. All of those activities were removed from the action list. The
planning team decided to develop new mitigation actions that were aligned with the current
projects and priorities of the City. Aside from the actions that have been completed, the
mitigation actions that were maintained from the 2009 HMP include:
City of El Segundo

EEx:.
• Integrate the goals and action items from the HMP into the Safety Element of the
General Plan and other regulatory documents as appropriate.
• Identify and pursue funding opportunities to develop and implement local mitigation
activities
• Develop inventories of at -risk buildings and infrastructure and prioritize mitigation
projects
5.3 CHANGES IN PRIORITIES
The City's priorities have changed in that hazard mitigation has become more important and
has been integrated in day -to -day decisions and activities. Many programs that mitigate
hazards have expanded, such as environmental, recycling, air quality, seismic building
standards, green building standards, disabled access, and stricter energy codes. There is strong
support for emergency management, disaster preparedness, continuity of operations and
hazard mitigation from City Council and the City Manager's office. This support is imparted to
department directors and throughout the City organization. El Segundo will continue to strive
to make hazard mitigation a priority within the City's philosophy and resulting operations.

the jurisdiction requesting approval?
Source: FEMA, Local Mitigation Planning Handbook Review Tool, March 2013.
Per 44 CFR 201.6(d)(1) the El Segundo hazard mitigation plan must be submitted to the State
Hazard Mitigation Officer (SHMO) for review. The State will then send the plan to the
appropriate FEMA Regional Office for formal review and approval. The State will coordinate
with El Segundo and between El Segundo and FEMA, once the plan is sent to FEMA for the final
review and approval. FEMA has the authority to conduct the final review and approve the HMP.
As the 2015 EL Segundo Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan is a revision of the 2009 HMP, the Local
Mitigation Plan Review Guide addresses plan updates within each required Element, and more
specifically in Element D, Plan Updates. Element D identifies the plan update requirements to
"reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities"
(44 CFR §201.6(d)(3)).
The 2015 EL Segundo Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan meets all requirements on the regulation
checklist and was adopted by City Council of the City of El Segundo on [date added]. A scanned
copy of the resolution is included on the following page. Accordingly, the City of El Segundo
meets the requirements of the Stafford Act, as amended, and 44 CFR § 201.6(c)(5).

The City is revising the Hazard Mitigation Plan and needs input from the publicl
Hazard events, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hazardous materials incidents and
fires can happen at any time with little or no warning. In the worst case these
hazards can result in death and destruction of property and infrastructure. The
work done to minimize the impact of hazards to life and property is called Hazard
Mitigation. The City needs your input for the plan revision. We would like to know
what hazards concern you as a citizen and what you think the City should be doing
to minimize the effects of hazards.
There is a survey on the City webslte for you to provide your thoughts and
concerns about preparedness for hazards and future planning efforts of the City.
Please take the time to complete the survey. Your concerns are vital to the plan's
successl The survey is located at Yvwn q& ¢tt q,qt . Select the article titled City
of II Segundo Hazard Mitigation Plan Revision, and click "more ". On the page that
opens is a link (called Survey Lank) that will bring you to the survey. The survey
response will automatically be sent to the Emergency Services Division for
inclusion in the hazard mitigation plan revision. Thank you for providing your
concerns for the update of the plan.

Hazus is a regional earthquake loss estimation model that was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
and the National Institute of Building Sciences. The primary purpose of Hazus is to provide a methodology and software
application to develop earthquake losses at a regional scale. These loss estimates would be used primarily by local, state
and regional officials to plan and stimulate efforts to reduce risks from earthquakes and to prepare for emergency response
and recovery.
The earthquake loss estimates provided in this report was based on a region that includes 1 county(ies) from the following
state(s):
Celifomia
Note:
Appendix A contains a complete listing of the counties contained in the region.
The geographical size of the region is 5.46 square miles and contains 6 census bads. There are over 7 thousand
households in the region which has a total population of 18,654 people (2010 Census Bureau data). The distribution of
population by State and County is provided in Appendix B.
There are an estimated 4 thousand buildings in the region with a total building replacement value (excluding contents) of
3,225 (millions of dollars) Approximately 91.00 % of the buildings (and 49.00% of the building value) are associated with
residential housing.
The replacement value of the transportation and utility lifeline systems is estimated to be 227 and 247 (millions of dollars) ,
respectively.

Building Inventory
Hazus estimates that there are 4 thousand buildings in the region wfilch have an aggregate total replacement value of 3,225
(millions of dollars) . Appendix B provides a general distribution of the building value by State and County.
In terms of building construction "found in the region, wood frame construction makes up 88% of the building inventory.
The remaining percentage is distributed between the other general building typess.
01111211 E2911011=1119U
Hazus breaks critical facilities into two (2) groups: essential facilities and high potential loss facilities (HPL). Essential
facilities include hospitals, medical clinics, schools, fire stations, police stations and emergency operations facilities. High
potential loss facilities include dams, levees, military Installations, nuclear power plants and hazardous material sites.
For essential facilities, there are 0 hospitals In the region with a total bed capacity of 0 beds. There are 7 schools, 1 fire
stations, 1 police stations and 0 emergency operation facilities. With respect to high potential loss facilities (HPL), there are
0 dams identified within the region. Of these, 0 of the dams are classified as'high hazard'. The inventory also includes 7
hazardous material sites, 0 military installations and 0 nuclear power plants.
Within Hazus, the lifeline inventory is divided between transportation and utility lifeline systems. There are seven (7)
transportation systems that include highways, raihneys, light rall, bus, ports, ferry and airports. There are six (8) utility
system that include potable water, wastewater, natural gas, crude & refined oil, electric power and communications. The
lifeline inventory date are provided in Tables 1 and 2.
The total value of the lifeline inventory is over 474,00 (millions of dollars). This inventory includes over 17 kilometers of
highways, 4 bridges, 1,808 kilometers of pipes.

Fires often occur after an earthquake. Because of the number of fires and the lack of hater to fight the fires, they can often
burn out of control. Hazus uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the number of ignitions and the amount of burnt
area. For this scenario, the model estimates that there will be 0 ignitions that will bum about 0.00 sq. mi 0.00 % of the
region's total area) The model also estimates that the fires will displace about 0 people and burn about 0 (millions of dollars)
of building value.
h d
Hazus estimates the amount of debris that will be generated by the earthquake. The model breaks the debris into two
general categories: a) BriclkA&bod and b) Reinforced Concrete/Steel. This distinction is made because of the different types
of material handling equipment required to handle the debris.
The model estimates that a total of 0.07 million tons of debris will be generated. Of the total amount, BrickM/ood comprises
27.00% of the total, with the remainder being Reinforced Concrete /Steel. If the debris tonnage is converted to an estimated
number of truckloads, it will require 2,720 truckloads (®25 tonshruck) to remove the debris generated by the earthquake.

Haws exthin the number of households that are expected to be displaced from tlrek homes due to the earthquake and
the number of displaced people that WN require accommodations in temporary public shelters. The model es*nifts 116
households to be displaced due lo the earthquake. Of these, 56 people (out of a total population of 10.054) wil seek
temporary shelter in puble shelters.
Casualties
Hazus estimates the number of people that will be injured and killed by the earthquake. The casualties are broken down into
four (4) severity levels that describe the extent of the injuries. The levels are described as follows,
Severity Level 1: Injuries will require medical attention but hospitalization is not needed.
Severity Level 21rilurles will require hospitalization but are not considered Ida- threatening
Severity Level 3:Injuries will require hospitalization and can become life threatening if not
promptly treated.
Severity Level 4:Victims are killed by the earthquake.
The casualty estimates are provided for three (3) times of day: 200 AM, 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM These times represent the
periods of the day that different sectors of the community are at their peak occupancy bads. The 2:00 AM estimate
considers that the residential occupancy load is maximum, the 2:00 PM estimate considers that the educational, commercial
and industrial sector loads are maximum and 5:00 PM represents peak commute time.

The total economic loss estimated for the earthquake is 352 47 (millions of dollars), which includes bulkl ng and Afeline
raided lasses based on the region's available inventory. The following three sections provide more detailed information about
these losses.
The budding losses are broken into two categories: direct building losses and business interruption bases. The direct building
losses are the estimated costs to repair or replace the damage caused to the building and its contents. The business
interruption bases are the bases associated with inability to operate a business because of the damage sustained during the
earthquake. Business interruption bases also include the temporary living expenses for those people displaced from their
homes because of the earthquake.
The total build'urg- related losses were 300.97 (millions of dollars); 17 % of the estimated losses were related to the business
interruption of the region. By far. the largest loss was sustained by the residential occupancies which made up over 28 % of
the total loss. Table 11 below provides a summary of the bases associated with the budding damage.

Hazus is a regional earthquake loss estimation model that was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
and the National Institute of Building Sciences. The primary purpose of Hazus is to provide a methodology and software
application to develop earthquake losses at a regional scale. These loss estimates would be used primarily by local, state
and regional officials to plan and stimulate efforts to reduce risks from earthquakes and to prepare for emergency response
and recovery.
The earthquake loss estimates provided in this report was based on a region that includes 1 county(ies) from the following
state(s):
California
Note:
Appendix A contains a complete listing of the counties contained in the region.
The geographical size of the region is 5.46 square miles and contains 8 census trails. There are over 7 thousand
households in the region which has a total population of 16,854 people (2010 Census Bureau data). The distribution of
population by Slate and County is provided in Appendix B.
There are an estimated 4 thousand buildings in the region with a total building replacement value (excluding contents) of
3,225 (millions of dollars). Approximately 91.00 % of the buildings (and 49.00% of the building value) are associated with
residential housing.
The replacement value of the transportation and utility lifeline systems is estimated to be 227 and 247 (millions of dollars) ,
respectively.

Hazus estimates that there are 4 thousand buildings in the region which have an aggregate total replacement value of 3,225
(millions of dollars) . Appendix B provides a general distribution ofthe building value by State and County.
In terms of building construction types found in the region, wood frame construction makes up 88% of the building inventory
The remaining percentage is distributed between the other general building types.
Hazus breaks critical facilities into two (2) groups: essential facilities and high potential loss facilities (HPL). Essential
facilities include hospitals, medical clinics, schools, fire stations, police stations and emergency operations facilities. High
potential loss facilities Include dams, levees, military Installations, nuclear power plants and hazardous material sites.
For essential facilities, there are 0 hospitals in the region with a total bed capacity of 0 beds. There are 7 schools, 1 fire
stations, 1 police stations and 0 emergency operation facilities. With reaped to high potential loss facilities (HPL), there are
0 dams Identified within the region. Of these, 0 of the dams are classified as'high hazard'. The inventory also includes 7
hazardous material sites, 0 military installations and 0 nuclear power plants.
Within Hazus, Vie lifeline inventory is divided between transportation and utility lifeline systems. There are seven (7)
transportation systems that include highways, railways, light nail, buia, ports, ferry and Oports. There are six (0) utility
systems that include potable water, wastewater, natural gas, crude & refined oil, electric power and communications. The
lifeline inventory data are provided in Tables 1 and 2.
The total value of the lifeline inventory is over 474.00 (millions of dollars). This inventory includes over 17 kilometers of
highways, 4 bridges, 1,808 kilometers of pipes.

Fires often occur after an earthquake. Because of the number of fires and the lack of water to fight the fir" they an often
bum out of oonW. Haws uses a Monte Carle simulation. to esthete the number of ignitions and the amount of burnt
area. For this scenario, the model estimates that there will be 0 ignitions that will bean about 0.00 sq. mi 0.00 % of the
reglones total area.) The model also estimates that the fires will displace about 0 people and bum abort 0 (millions of dollars)
of building value.
. a _ e t _
Haws estimates the amount of debris that Wit be generated by the earthquake. The model breaks the debris into two
general categories: a) BrickNYbod and b) Reanforced Conorstal9t". This distinction is made bemuse of the different types
of material handting equipment required to handle the debris.
The model estimates that a total of 0.07 million tons of debris will be generated. Of the total amount, BrickMbod comprises
27.00% of the total, with the reminder being Reinforced Concrete /Steel. If the debris tonnage Is converted to an estkrated
number of truckloads, it wiN require 2,840 truddoods (Q25 Umal u*4 to remove the debris generated by the earthquake.

Hazus estimates 'the number of households that are expected' to be displaced from their homes due to the earthquake and
the number of displaced people that will require accommodations in temporary public shelters. The model estimates 161
houselwolds to be dispced drae to the earethquake, O7f ltrese, 77 people (out of a total population of 16,654) will seek
temporary shelter in public shelters.
Casualties
Hazus estimates the number of people that will be injured and Wiled by the earthquake. The casualties are broken doom into
four (4) severity levels that describe the extent of the injuries. The levels are described as follows;
Severity Level 1:lnjuries will require medical attention but hospitalization Is not needed.
Severity Level 2:Injuries wlll require hospitalization but are not considered life- threatening
Severity Level 3:Injuries will require hospitalization and can become fife threatening iF not
promptly treated.
Severity Level 4:Victims are killed by the earthquake.
The casualty estimates are provided for three (3) times of day: 200 Ali, 100 PM and 5.00 PM These times represent the
periods of the day that different sectors of the caomnwnity are at their peak occupancy loads, The 2;00 ,AM estimate
considers that the resklendtall occupancy toad is rnaximurrr, the 2:00 PM estimate considers that the educational, commerclal
and industrial sector loads are maximum and 5:00 PM represents peak commute time.

The total economic loss estimated for the earthquake is 389,45 (mllbaris of dollars), which Includes building and lifeline
related losses based on the region's available inventory. The foWMng three sections provide more detailed information about
these losses.
