21 <br /> <br />the community and found that an overwhelming majority of the recommendations <br />were related to improving infrastructure that could be susceptible to earthquakes, <br />flooding, and continuity of government and services after a major disaster. Other <br />recommendations related to preparedness and response rather than to the mitigation <br />planning process were recorded and shared with City staff responsible for <br />coordinating those activities. <br /> <br /> <br />2.5 PLAN UPDATE <br /> <br /> The 2017 LHMP update involved a comprehensive review of each section of the 2010 <br />plan and included an assessment of the plan’s goals, objectives and progress of the <br />previous mitigation strategies. Only the information and data still valid from the 2010 <br />plan was carried forward as applicable into this LHMP update. <br /> <br />The 2017 plan contains numerous updates to facts, figures and descriptions. The City <br />has incorporated the newest-available hazard data, including impact maps for <br />particular scenarios. The City and its partners have provided additional descriptions, <br />details and definitions to explain the science of these hazards and their potential <br />impacts. Advances in GIS mapping technology have enabled the City to present maps <br />that help to visualize information. <br /> <br />The 2017 plan now specifically highlights San Leandro’s hazard of greatest concern <br />as earthquake coupled with all of the potential side effects such as a tsunami or <br />landslide, and followed by climate change risks such as flooding and sea level rise. <br />These hazards are underscored because of their history in San Leandro, their <br />potential to occur, our community’s extensive exposure and many vulnerabilities to <br />these hazards, and the cascading impacts that could result from one of these hazards. <br /> <br /> <br />Earthquakes (Section 5.3) <br /> <br />• Two new Hayward Fault earthquake scenario maps illustrate the Bay Area’s <br />exposure to seismic shaking, and San Leandro’s exposure to liquefaction and <br />seismically-triggered landslides. <br /> <br />• A new map overlays the areas of San Leandro potentially exposed to liquefaction, <br />fault rupture and earthquake-induced landslides. The 2017 plan also contains a new <br />scenario map for seismically-triggered landslide. <br /> <br />• The 2017 plan addresses fire following earthquake in detail: the plan describes <br />significant causes of fire following earthquake, and how earthquake impacts can <br />impede firefighting efforts and promote fire spread. <br /> <br /> <br />60
