Executive Summary <br /> xxi <br />Each planning partner also ranked hazards for its own area. Figure ES-2 summarizes all jurisdictions’ numerical <br />ratings of high, medium and low. The results indicate the following general patterns: <br />• The earthquake hazard was most commonly ranked as high. <br />• The severe weather, wildfire and landslide hazards were most commonly ranked as medium. <br />• The dam failure, flood and drought hazards were most commonly ranked as low. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure ES-2. Summary of Risk Rating for Individual Planning Partners <br />MISSION STATEMENT, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES <br />The Steering Committee developed the following mission statement for the 2023 planning effort: <br />Through community partnerships, establish a plan to reduce the vulnerability to hazards in order to <br />protect the health, safety, welfare, environment and economy of the planning area. <br />The Steering Committee established the following goals for the plan update: <br />1. Ensure that hazards are identified and considered in land use decisions. <br />2. Improve local emergency management capability. <br />3. Promote community awareness, understanding, and interest in hazard mitigation policies and programs. <br />4. Incorporate hazard mitigation as an integrated public policy and standard practice. <br />5. Reduce community exposure and vulnerability to hazards where the greatest risk exists. <br />6. Increase resilience of infrastructure and critical facilities. <br />7. Promote an adaptive and resilient planning area that responds proactively to future conditions. <br />8. Develop and implement mitigation strategies that identify the best alternative to protect natural resources, <br />promote equity, and use public funds in an efficient and cost-effective manner. <br />0 0 <br />4 <br />0 0 0 <br />11 <br />0 0 0 <br />3 <br />4 <br />0 <br />3 <br />4 <br />0 <br />4 <br />1 <br />0 <br />3 <br />0 <br />0.5 <br />1 <br />1.5 <br />2 <br />2.5 <br />3 <br />3.5 <br />4 <br />4.5 <br />5 <br />Dam Failure Drought Earthquake Flood Landslide Severe Weather Wildfire <br />Nu <br />m <br />b <br />e <br />r <br /> <br />o <br />f <br /> <br />P <br />a <br />r <br />t <br />e <br />r <br />s <br /> <br />A <br />s <br />s <br />i <br />g <br />n <br />i <br />n <br />g <br /> <br />T <br />h <br />i <br />s <br /> <br />R <br />a <br />t <br />i <br />n <br />g <br /> <br />t <br />o <br /> <br />T <br />h <br />i <br />s <br /> <br />Ha <br />z <br />a <br />r <br />d <br />Highest Risk <br />Medium Risk <br />Lowest Risk <br />Page 86 of 228
