making the risk of failure extremely low. Continued maintenance and seismic reinforcement will take place in the future. 5.12.4 Tsunamis Tsunamis are long-period waves usually caused by off-shore earthquakes or landslides. Because the San Leandro shoreline does not face the open ocean, the risk is very low. A 100- year frequency tsunami would generate a wave run-up of 4.4 feet at the San Leandro shoreline. Most of the shoreline is protected by rip-rap (boulders) and would not be seriously affected. 5.12.5 Rising Sea Level Rising sea level is a global issue that could affect San Leandro later in the 21st century. Environmental studies indicate that global warming could lead to a sea level rise of one to eleven feet during the next 100 years. This could have significant effects on the ecology of San Leandro’s Shoreline Marshlands. It could also increase erosion along the waterfront and raise the hazard of tidal flooding along Neptune Drive and nearby streets. The City will remain involved in state and regional discussions about this issue and the ways to mitigate its effects on the Bay shoreline. 5.12.6 Terrorism In 2004, the Terrorism Annex to the City of San Leandro’s Emergency Plan was developed which identified potential terrorism targets. The City is traversed by railway lines, a rapid transit system, interstate highways, and flight paths to and from the Oakland International Airport and the San Francisco International Airport. In addition, locations that draw crowds to an event were considered such as the McAfee Coliseum in neighboring Oakland. As acts against innocent populations increase worldwide, we are cognizant of the potential of such events within our community. Working relationships with other agencies and resources are in place when the City of San Leandro’s emergency operations center is activated. There exists an avenue to exchange intelligence and information. Working groups are in place on the federal, state, regional, county, and local levels and internally. On the State level, the California Intelligence Terrorism Center (CITIC) is available. On the regional level, the Bay Area Terrorism Working Group (BATWING) in association with the Federal Bureau of Investigation exists, along with the NEPTUNE Coalition and the Urban Area Security Initiative. The Urban Area Security Initiative involves collaboration between adjoining jurisdictions to arrive at regional solutions to plan and prepared for acts of terrorism. The WMD/Terrorism Sub-committee meeting objectives were to bring to the forefront those mitigation activities related to WMD/Terrorism that are already in place within the City of San Leandro; to determine what shall be categorized in reactive and proactive activities; and to identify gaps.
