Natural Hazards Mitigation PlanCity of Glendale, CaliforniaSection 5 – Plan MaintenanceThe City of Glendale Engineering, Planning and Fire Departments are responsible foradministering the Building and Fire Codes, and other regulations designed to improve safety ofthe community, such as the policies in the Safety Element of the General Plan. In addition, theHazard Steering Committee will work with other agencies at the state level to review, developand implement Building and Safety Codes that are adequate to mitigate or reduce the damageposed by natural hazards. This is to ensure that life-safety criteria are met for new construction.The goals and action items in the Mitigation Plan may be achieved through activitiesrecommended in the City's Capital Improvement Plans (CIP). Various City departmentsdevelop CIP plans and review them on an annual basis. Upon annual review of the CIPs, theHazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will work with the City departments to identify areasthat the Hazard Mitigation Plan action items are consistent with CIP planning goals andintegrate them where appropriate.Within six months of formal adoption of the Mitigation Plan, the recommendations listed abovewill be incorporated into the process of existing planning mechanisms at the City level. Themeetings of the Hazard Mitigation Steering and Advisory Committees will provide anopportunity for committee members to report back on the progress made on the integration ofmitigation planning elements into City planning documents and procedures.Economic Analysis of Mitigation ProjectsFEMA's approaches to identify the costs and benefits associated with natural hazard mitigationstrategies, measures, or projects, fall into two general categories: benefit/cost analysis and cost-for a mitigation activity can assisteffectiveness analysis. Conducting a benefit/cost analysiscommunities in determining whether a project is worth undertaking now, in order to avoiddisaster-related damages later. Cost-effectiveness analysis evaluates how best to spend a givenamount of money to achieve a specific goal. Determining the economic feasibility of mitigatingnatural hazards can provide decision-makers with an understanding of the potential benefits andcosts of an activity, as well as a basis upon which to compare alternative projects.Given federal funding, the Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will use a FEMA-approvedbenefit/cost analysis approach to identify and prioritize mitigation action items. A copy of aProject Evaluation Worksheet modeled after the STAPPLE cost benefit analysis processpreferred by FEMA, is included at the end of Chapter 4. For other projects and fundingsources, the Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee may use other approaches to understandthe costs and benefits of each action item and develop a prioritized list. For more informationregarding economic analysis of mitigation action items, please see Appendix C of the Plan.2006 PAGE 5 - 3
