Natural Hazards Mitigation PlanCity of Glendale, CaliforniaAppendix B:Appendix B – Public Participation ProcessPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPROCESSThe Public Participation ProcessPublic participation is a key component to strategic planning processes. Citizen participationoffers citizens the chance to voice their ideas, interests, and opinions. The Federal EmergencyManagement Agency also requires public input during the development of mitigation plans.The City of Glendale Local Hazards Mitigation Plan integrates a cross-section of citizen inputthroughout the planning process. To accomplish this goal, the Glendale Hazard MitigationAdvisory Committee developed a public participation process that consisted of four maincomponents: (1) development of a project Steering Committee comprised of knowledgeableindividuals from City agencies that are already tasked with natural hazard reduction programsand that are representative of the community; (2) stakeholder interviews to obtain input fromspecific individuals with expertise in or knowledgeable about natural hazards and their impacton populations at risk; (3) public workshops and meetings to identify common concerns andideas regarding hazard mitigation and to discuss specific goals and actions of the mitigationplan, and (4) publication of the Draft Plan in the City’s Web site with links that allow for publiccomment and input regarding the document. Furthermore, integrating public participationduring the development of the City of Glendale Local Hazards Mitigation Plan and the City’sLong Range Planning efforts has ultimately resulted in increased public awareness. Throughcitizen involvement, the Mitigation Plan reflects community issues, concerns, and new ideas andperspectives on mitigation opportunities and plan action items.Steering and Advisory Committees:Hazard mitigation in the city of Glendale is overseen by the Hazard Mitigation AdvisoryCommittee. This committee includes representatives from various City departments, and otherpublic agencies. A smaller group of members from the Advisory Committee form the SteeringCommittee. These committee members have an understanding of how the community isstructured and how residents, businesses, and the environment may be affected by naturalhazard events. The Advisory Committee guided the development of the Plan, and assisted indeveloping plan goals and action items, identifying stakeholders, and sharing local expertise tocreate a more comprehensive Plan. The Steering Committee has provided the resourcesnecessary to prepare the Plan, and is tasked with the implementation and review of the Plan’seffectiveness.Table B.1 below lists the various organizations represented in the City of Glendale NaturalHazard Mitigation Advisory Committee:2006 PAGE B - 1

Earth Consultants International, Inc. responded to and won the bid to preparethis document for the City. The contract was signed on March 12, 2002, and work on theSafety Element began immediately thereafter. A kick-off meeting was conducted on April 24,2002 at the offices of the City’s Planning Department to introduce the consultant and City staffthat would work on the project. This meeting was also designed to identify and address keyissues of concern to City staff regarding disaster planning and response, with an emphasis onareas in the city particularly vulnerable to natural hazards. Based on this meeting, the initialdraft of the Technical Background Report to the Safety Element was prepared and submitted inAugust 2002 for review by City staff. An internal meeting with personnel from the PlanningDepartment was held on August 26, 2002, and another meeting to receive input from the rest ofthe Safety Element review committee was held on September 23, 2002. Based on discussionswith the review committee, the report was expanded to more thoroughly describe the wildfirehazard in the city, and the City’s existing programs to deal with this hazard. Less substantialmodifications were made to other sections of the report, typically in the form of additionalinformation provided by various City departments in response to the first draft.Once the second draft of the Technical Background Report was completed and reviewed, aCommunity Open House meeting was held on April 14, 2003.
