2. Interested parties could complete the City’s Hazard Mitigation survey. The City’s LHMP survey was available on the City’s website, as well as various locations in the City. The survey was also distributed at the LHMP public hearings, workshops, and public outreach events. The Survey is attached to this document as Appendix item number 8.5. 3. The public was invited to attend a public forum where representatives from the City’s Emergency Services Division presented on Hazard Mitigation in the City of San Leandro. The Public Forum took place on November 19th, 2015 and was advertised in the paper. See Appendix item number 8.3, and 8.4. 2.4 Preparing the 2015 Update – Procedure, for the plan update. As part of the 2005 plan update, this 2015 plan includes an updated analysis of San Leandro’s hazards and their potential impacts. Hazard vulnerabilities identified in Section 5 and mitigation strategies presented in Section 6. General Changes and Updates The 2015 plan contains numerous updates to facts, figures and descriptions. The City has incorporated the newest-available hazard data, including impact maps for particular scenarios. The City and its partners have provided additional descriptions, details and definitions to explain the science of these hazards and their potential impacts. Advances in GIS mapping technology have enabled the City to present maps that help to visualize information. Institutional community partners have updated information regarding their vulnerabilities to the described hazards, as well as significant mitigation activities that they have completed, in progress, or planned for the coming five years. Appendix A describes San Leandro’s progress on the hazard mitigation actions identified in 2005. Hazards Described in the 2015 Plan The 2015 plan now specifically highlights San Leandro’s hazard of greatest concern as earthquake coupled with all of the potential side effects of an earthquake such as a tsunami or landslide, and followed by climate change risks such as flooding and sea level rise. These hazards are underscored because of their history in San Leandro, their potential to occur, our community’s extensive exposure and many vulnerabilities to these hazards, and the cascading impacts that could result from one of these hazards. Earthquakes (Section 5.1) • Three new Hayward Fault earthquake scenario maps illustrate the Bay Area’s exposure to seismic shaking, and San Leandro’s exposure to liquefaction and seismically-triggered landslides.
