22 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Earthquake/Rainfall-Triggered Landslide (Section 5.3.7) <br />Rainfall-triggered landslide is addressed separately of earthquake-induced landslide. <br />Additional information has been provided to describe rainfall-triggered landslide and <br />debris flow. <br /> <br />Tsunami (Section 5.3.8) <br /> <br />The tsunami section describes recent tsunami events and their impacts on San <br />Leandro. It outlines the latest information about the tsunami hazard within the San <br />Francisco Bay, and provides an inundation map showing San Leandro’s tsunami <br />exposure. <br /> <br />Flooding (Section 5.4) <br /> <br />The floods section has been rewritten for clarity. The 2017 plan also provides <br />additional information about floods caused by storm drain overflow. <br /> <br />Climate Change (Section 5.8) <br /> <br />Climate change is a newly-introduced hazard of concern for the 2017 plan. The <br />climate change section describes the anticipated impacts to San Leandro from climate <br />change. It also outlines how climate change exacerbates other hazards identified in <br />this plan. <br /> <br />Hazards Not Considered in the Plan <br /> <br />Other natural hazards that are rare in San Leandro are not included in this plan; <br />these include severe storms, which can produce prolonged low temperatures, heavy <br />rainfall and hail; severe heat; high winds; and small tornados and waterspouts. This <br />plan does not focus on these hazards because they are not as likely to occur as the <br />hazards addressed in detail. San Leandro’s geographic location and moderate climate <br />shelters it from prolonged storms and extremes of cold and heat. Ocean temperatures <br />moderate the power of tropical storms, lessening the effects of low barometric <br />pressure and storm surge. Naturally-occurring communicable disease outbreaks (e.g. <br />a flu pandemic; SARS) do pose a significant risk to the San Leandro community, but <br />are not addressed in this plan. Mitigation activities for communicable disease are not <br />yet well defined, but they could include, for example, measures to assure a high <br />baseline level of immunization in the community, both for routine childhood <br />immunizations and for annual seasonal flu vaccination. The City of San Leandro <br />continues to work closely with the Alameda County Public Health Department on <br />establishing best practice protocols and training for City staff and public outreach <br />training for the public. <br /> <br /> <br />61
