Natural Hazards Mitigation PlanCity of Glendale, CaliforniaSection 1 - Introductionmitigation activities, resources and programs, and potential action items based on theirexperience in implementing the action items in the Safety Element, and from feedback fromstakeholder interviews.Public Workshops and Public InputCity of Glendale’s staff facilitated two public meetings to gather comments and ideas from Cityof Glendale citizens about mitigation planning and priorities for mitigation plan goals as part ofthe Safety Element of the General Plan. The first open-house meeting was held in theconference room of the City’s Planning Department on April 14, 2003. The second meeting wasa meeting open to the public that included a presentation to the City’s Planning Commission.This meeting was held on September 8, 2003 in City Council Chambers. A third, also televisedpresentation, was made to City Council on October 7, 2003 as part of the adoption of the SafetyElement. The Draft of the Safety Element was placed on the City’s Web site and feedback wassought from each reviewer. Copies of the document were also made available for review in allbranches of the Glendale Public Library. Over the last two years (2004-2006), the City has beeninvolved in Long Range Planning, an effort that has included extensive public outreach andinput. More than twelve public meetings were held drawing more than 600 citizens. Additionalinformation regarding these community meetings is provided in Appendix B.The resources and information cited in the Hazard Mitigation Plan provide a strong localperspective and help identify strategies and activities to make City of Glendale more disaster-resilient.How is t he Plan Used?Each section of the Local Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan provides information and resourcesto assist people in understanding the hazard-related issues facing Glendale’s citizens, businesses,and the environment. Combined, the sections of the Plan work together to create a documentthat guides the mission to reduce risk and prevent loss from future natural hazard events.The structure of the Plan enables the user to refer to specific sections of interest to him or her.It also allows City government to review and update sections when new data become available.The ability to update individual sections of the Hazard Mitigation Plan places less of a financialburden on the City. Decision-makers can allocate funding and staff resources to selected piecesin need of review, thereby avoiding a full update, which can be costly and time-consuming. Newdata can be easily incorporated, resulting in a Local Hazards Mitigation Plan that remainscurrent and relevant to the city of Glendale.Glendale’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is organized in three volumes. Volume I contains theexecutive summary followed by Sections 1 through 5; introduction, community profile, riskassessment, multi-hazard goals and action items, and Plan maintenance. Volume II containsthe four natural hazard sections (Sections 6 through 9) and Volume III includes the appendices.Each section of the Plan is described below.Volume I: Mitigation Action PlanExecutive Summary: Five-Year Action PlanThe Five-Year Action Plan provides an overview of the Hazard Mitigation Plan’s mission,goals, and action items. The Plan’s action items are included in this section, and address multihazardissues, as well as hazard-specific activities that can be implemented to reduce risk andprevent loss from future natural hazard events.2006 PAGE 1 - 7
