64 <br /> <br />Long Range Earthquake Hazard Reduction Plan X <br /> <br />Computerized Data Base and Mapping X <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />On Going Project Update - <br /> <br /> Wildland Fire Mitigation – The City of San Leandro contracts with Alameda <br />County Fire Department for fire services and fire prevention. The wildland <br />fire mitigation program is an ongoing effort due to yearly regrowth of <br />vegetation and the nature of fire season. <br /> <br /> Coordination with State Division of Safety to Dams- Continued mitigation <br />project lead by East Bay Municipal Water District. <br /> <br /> Long Range Earthquake Hazard Reduction Plan –The San Leandro Building <br />Department continues to create programs that mitigate the potential loss of <br />property and life from major earthquake due to aging and improperly <br />retrofitted infrastructure. <br /> <br />5. HAZARD ANALYSIS <br />5.1 OVERVIEW <br />This chapter defines and maps significant natural hazards that impact the people, built <br />environment, economy and society of San Leandro. Each section describes a different natural <br />hazard, including how it has affected the Bay Area and San Leandro in the past and how it is <br />likely to impact San Leandro in the future. Most of the information in this chapter is adapted <br />from the “Risk Landscape” document prepared by ABAG to assist local governments in the <br />preparation of their LHMPs, also included is CAL OES’s My Hazards data. <br /> <br />In the Bay Area, earthquakes are the hazard that have the highest combined likelihood to <br />cause extensive, multi-jurisdictional damage. Disruptive earthquakes also have high <br />likelihood of occurring at any given time. With the combined likelihood and extent of <br />earthquakes, much of the focus of this chapter is on earthquake hazards. <br /> <br />Flooding is another major hazard that the Bay Area and San Leandro are exposed to. <br />Although San Leandro has not been susceptible to major flooding, studies predict that due to <br />climate change and sea level rise, flooding in San Leandro and across the bay area could <br />increase. <br /> <br />Other hazards beyond earthquakes and flooding/sea level rise may be less widespread or less <br />frequent in the Bay Area and San Leandro, but can still cause significant local impacts and <br />have cascading effects on the region. Other hazards potentially affecting San Leandro include <br />dam failure of the Chabot Dam, drought, extreme heat, fire and hazardous materials. <br />103
