ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 19-36 APPROVING THE 2019 CITY OF
TUSTIN HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
The Federal Disaster Management Act of 2000 requires every local, county and state
government to have an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) to be eligible for pre- and
post -disaster grants and funding. The current City of Tustin HMP was approved by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in March 2009.
Approval of the draft HMP will ensure the City remains eligible for FEMA mitigation
programs and assistance, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Flood
Mitigation Assistance Program, and most importantly, public assistance for damaged
facilities following a disaster.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 19-36 approving the 2019
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact. Approval of the HMP will ensure that the City remains
eligible for Federal pre and post -disaster mitigation funding. Implementation of mitigation
projects and other activities identified in the plan will be considered with the City's annual
operating and capital improvement budgets.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
The recommendation correlates to the City's strategic plan by implementing Goal B, item
number two to provide additional emergency preparedness training.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires the City of Tustin to adopt
a FEMA -approved HMP to be eligible for certain pre and post disaster assistance and
mitigation funding. Local governments must identify hazards, determine vulnerabilities and
develop a plan to reduce or eliminate these vulnerabilities and must have this plan approved
by the State and Federal Emergency Management Agencies. Mitigation plans are key to
breaking the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. The HMP is
not intended to fully assess the vulnerabilities of private buildings or property.
Specifically, FEMA requires the HMP include the following information:
1. Documentation of the planning process used to develop the plan,
2. A risk assessment that provides a factual basis for upgrades and recommendations,
3. A description of the natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction,
4. A description of the jurisdiction's vulnerability to these natural hazards,
5. A description of land usage, and an estimate of losses should a disaster occur,
6. A strategy to mitigate damage to local facilities and infrastructure,
7. A plan maintenance process,
8. Documentation that the plan has been adopted by the jurisdiction's governing body,
and,
9. Review by the State Hazard Mitigation Officer.
To complete these objectives listed above, staff retained the services of Risk Management
Professionals, Inc. of Irvine. The City solicited input from staff, the County of Orange, the
Orange County Fire Authority, the Cities of Irvine and Santa Ana, and the Tustin Unified
School District. In addition, public input for the plan was solicited through a survey on the
City's website. Approximately 40 residents responded to the survey, and the results are
included in the HMP.
The HMP describes past and current hazard mitigation activities and provides direction and
guidance to the City to identify hazard mitigation action items on a hazard -level, probability,
and cost -priority basis with an overall goal of reducing the potential for damage to City of
Tustin assets and facilities from natural hazards.
The Full HMP is available for review in the City Clerk's office. The attached Executive
Summary contains a full list of recommended mitigation measures. Almost all the high
priority mitigation measures are related to public outreach. Other mitigation measures have
been and will continue to be evaluated and considered during the operating and capital
budget processes. None of the projects identified in the HMP would qualify for pre -disaster
mitigation funding.
City staff will continue efforts to ensure the mitigation actions in the plan are implemented
and will review the HMP and associated action items annually. Any resulting revisions will
be incorporated in the next update of the plan in approximately five years.

The HMP is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
The draft HMP has been reviewed and approved by the California Office of Emergency
Services and FEMA. Upon formal adoption by the City of Tustin, FEMA will extend final
approval of the HMP and begin the period of eligibility for the grant programs mentioned
above.

City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
The City of Tustin (City) Hazard Mitigation Plan is a living document that reflects ongoing
hazard mitigation activities. Hazard mitigation involves strategies to reduce short and long-
term vulnerability to identified hazards. This document serves as the framework for the
ongoing identification and implementation of hazard mitigation strategies developed in the
City.
The City's previous Hazard Mitigation Plan was adopted in 2009. This Hazard Mitigation
Plan serves as an update to the original Plan.
Background Information
In 2000, the United States Congress determined that disasters and, more importantly, lack
of preparedness for disasters, were significant causes of loss of life, human suffering, loss
of income, and property loss and damage. Furthermore, because disasters often disrupt
the normal functioning of governments and communities and adversely affect individuals
and families with great severity, special measures designed to assist the efforts of the
affected States in expediting the rendering of aid, assistance, and emergency services,
and the reconstruction and rehabilitation of devastated areas, were necessary. As a result,
Congress passed the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), or Public Law 106-390,
to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. This
provides an opportunity for States, Tribal governments, and local jurisdictions to apply for
assistance from the Federal government in carrying out their responsibilities to alleviate
the suffering and damage which results from such disasters by:
a. revising and broadening the scope of existing disaster relief programs;
b. encouraging the development of comprehensive disaster preparedness and
assistance plans, programs, capabilities, and organizations by the States and by
local governments;
c. achieving greater coordination and responsiveness of disaster preparedness and
relief programs;
d. encouraging individuals, States, and local governments to protect themselves by
obtaining insurance coverage to supplement or replace governmental assistance;
e. encouraging hazard mitigation measures to reduce losses from disasters,
including development of land use and construction regulations; and
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
f. providing Federal assistance programs for both public and private losses sustained
in disasters.
DMA 2000 allows State, Tribal, and local jurisdictions to obtain Federal assistance through
pre -disaster hazard mitigation planning. As part of the requirements for receiving Federal
grants for improving a locality's resistance to disasters, each locality must determine their
existing vulnerabilities and develop a plan to reduce or eliminate these vulnerabilities and
must have this plan approved by the appropriate State and Federal officials. Upon
approval of this plan, each locality is eligible to receive various types of disaster -related
assistance through FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Program. This includes
the Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
which releases grant funds before and after a hazard event as well as the Flood Mitigation
Assistance Grant (FMA) Program which appropriates funds for projects and planning that
will reduce long-term risk of flood damage to structures insured under the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP).
The PDM program provides funds for hazard mitigation planning and the implementation
of mitigation actions prior to a disaster event. These grants are funded and approved
through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on a competitive basis. The
HMGP provides grants to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after a major
disaster declaration. These grants are funded by FEMA, but are distributed by the State.
In California, that agency is the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).
FEMA has developed guidance to assist communities in developing both the vulnerability
assessments and plans to reduce or eliminate their vulnerabilities to disasters. These
tools, coupled with techniques from the safety and security industries were used to
develop the City's Hazard Mitigation Plan. Additional information regarding the HMGP and
PDM programs can be found in FEMA's "Hazard Mitigation Assistance Unified Guidance"
document, located in FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance portal
(http://www.fema.gov/hazard-mitigation-assistance). Additional information including
guidance and regulations can be found at the Cal OES's Local Hazard Mitigation Planning
Program portal
(http://hazardmitigation.calema.ca.gov/plan/local hazard mitigation plan Ihmp).
In order to be eligible for certain Federal disaster assistance and mitigation funding, the
City is required to have a Cal OES- and FEMA -approved Hazard Mitigation Plan in place.
As a result, the City obtained grant funding to update this document to fulfill Cal OES and
FEMA requirements and provide direction and guidance on implementing hazard
mitigation actions on a hazard -level, probability, and cost -priority basis. The overall goal
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
of the Hazard Mitigation Plan is to reduce the potential for damage to critical assets from
natural and man-made hazards. In addition, the plan describes past and current hazard
mitigation activities and philosophies, and outlines future mitigation goals and strategies.
FEMA Requirements
FEMA requires that the Hazard Mitigation Plan meet certain requirements. First, the
planning process must be open and public, and must allow the public to have an
opportunity to comment during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval. Second, the
process must allow other local jurisdictions to be involved in the planning process. Third,
the Plan must incorporate, if appropriate, existing plans, studies, reports, and technical
information.
FEMA expects that each Hazard Mitigation Plan have the following information
1. Documentation of the planning process used to develop the plan
2. A risk assessment that provides a factual basis for upgrades and
recommendations
3. A description of the natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction
4. A description of the jurisdiction's vulnerability to these hazards
5. A description of land usage, and an estimate of losses should a disaster occur
6. A mitigation strategy
7. A plan maintenance process
8. Documentation that the plan has been adopted by the jurisdiction's governing
body
9. Review by the State Hazard Mitigation Officer
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
Mitigation is the ongoing effort to prevent or lessen future emergency or disaster incidents,
and the impacts they might have on people, property, and the environment. Examples of
mitigation activities include the following:
• Legislation, laws and
regulations;
• Variances;
• Zoning and land use
management;
• Engineering and building codes;
• Hazard mitigation plans & teams;
• Technical guidance &
assistance;
• Financial assistance;
• Hazard Identification;
• Risk Analysis;
• Evaluation;
• Research; and
• Education.
Mitigation decreases the demand for emergency response resources, reduces the
principal causes of injuries and deaths, enables a quicker lifesaving response and
economic recovery because the community infrastructure remains intact, and reduces the
societal impacts of the emergency because it results in less disruption to the social
environment. In essence, mitigation is the foundation of sustainable community
development.
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
Hazard mitigation planning is a dynamic process built on realistic assessments of past
and present information that enables the City to anticipate future hazards and provide
mitigation strategies to address possible impacts and identified needs. The overall
approach to the Hazard Mitigation Plan included developing a baseline understanding of
natural and man-made hazards, determining ways to reduce those risks, and prioritizing
mitigation recommendations for implementation.
To complete these objectives, the City compiled a qualified team with various expertise,
including Police, Finance, Community Development, Emergency Management, Parks and
Recreation, Public Works, and Utilities departments to participate on a Steering
Committee to guide the development of the City's comprehensive Hazard Mitigation Plan.
In addition, the Steering Committee solicited public involvement throughout the planning
process, including the release of a public survey through the City's Police Department
Facebook page, allowing the public to comment during the drafting stage, and making the
draft Plan available to allow the public to comment on its content. Chapter 1: Planning
Process, contains descriptions of the Planning process, including information on the
Steering Committee and public involvement.
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
The City is vulnerable to a wide range of natural and man-made hazards that threaten life
and property. In order to identify the hazards that the City and neighboring communities
perceive as the largest threat, each member of the Steering Committee participated in the
Hazard Identification exercise during the first Steering Committee Meeting. The Steering
Committee brainstormed potential hazards based on past incidents that have impacted
the City and information incorporated from other studies. (Incorporated Plans and studies
are described in Section1.3 "Review and Incorporation of Existing Plans") Each identified
hazard was then qualitatively ranked based upon hazard probability/frequency,
consequence/severity, and the City's overall vulnerability using an interactive model.
Section 3.2 Hazard Identification, contains detailed information regarding the hazard
ranking. Table ES.1 provides a summary of the hazard ranking.

Asset Inventory and Loss Estimates
In addition to the hazard profiles, the Risk Assessment contains a detailed asset inventory
that lists the City's assets, such as buildings, parks, public facilities, and critical non -City
assets, such as hospitals and schools. This asset inventory was used in the vulnerability
assessment to estimate potential losses for each hazard. The Steering Committee
reviewed each hazard and assigned a potential percentage of damage expected. This
also included loss of function values for lifeline and emergency service interruptions.
Section 3.19 Loss Estimates, includes a detailed breakdown of the vulnerability
assessment calculations.

Plan Goals and Objectives
As part of the development process, Plan goals and objectives were revalidated to provide
a framework for mitigating hazards and proposing potential mitigation actions. The goals
are consistent with the California State Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Los Angeles
County Hazard Mitigation Plan and were developed by the Steering Committee. The City's
overall Plan goals are to:
• Prevent Future Hazard -Related Losses of Life, Property, and Commerce
• Increase Public Awareness
• Improve Emergency Management Capability
• Develop and Enhance partners and Implementation
• Protect the Environment
In addition to the overall Plan goals, individual objectives were developed that more
specifically address mitigation strategies. Section 4.1 Mitigation Goals and Objectives
contains the full list of the Plan goals and objectives.
Mitigation Strategies
Mitigation strategies are administrative and/or engineering project recommendations to
reduce the vulnerability to the identified hazards. The Steering Committee identified
specific mitigation actions to reduce the impact or likelihood of the hazards. The specific
objectives served as a starting point for developing the mitigation actions, and additional
actions were taken from the Safety Element of the City's General Plan.
Implementation Plan
Following the identification of mitigation actions, a simplified Benefit -Cost Review was
applied in order to prioritize the mitigation actions for implementation. The priority for
implementing mitigation actions depended upon the overall cost effectiveness of the
action, when taking into account monetary and non -monetary costs and benefits
associated with each action. Additionally, the following questions were considered when
developing the Benefit -Cost Review:
• How many people will benefit from the action?
• How large of an area is impacted?
• How critical are the facilities that benefit from the action?
• Environmentally, does it make sense to do this project for the overall community?
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
The Benefit -Cost Review yielded a relative priority ranking (High, Medium, or Low) for
each mitigation action. Each ranking was defined as follows.
• High: Benefits are perceived to exceed costs without further study or evaluations;
or the action is critical.
• Medium: Benefits are perceived to exceed costs, but may require further study or
evaluation prior to implementation.
• Low: Benefits and costs require evaluation prior to implementation.
Mitigation actions identified as high-priority are typically implemented before lower ranked
actions. Results from the Benefit -Cost Review are located in Chapter 4.4 Prioritization of
Mitigation Recommendations. The Steering Committee considered responsible
departments, funding resources, and estimated implementation timeframe when
developing the implementation plan.
Chapter 4 Mitigation Strategies contains additional information regarding the mitigation
strategies and implementation plan. Table ES.3 on the following pages provides a
summary of each mitigation action, including the hazard(s) mitigated, responsible
agency/department, and relative priority rank taken from the Benefit -Cost Review.

City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
The City of Tustin (City) Hazard Mitigation Plan is a living document that reflects ongoing
hazard mitigation activities. Hazard mitigation involves strategies to reduce short and long-
term vulnerability to identified hazards. This document serves as the framework for the
ongoing identification and implementation of hazard mitigation strategies developed in the
City.
The City's previous Hazard Mitigation Plan was adopted in 2009. This Hazard Mitigation
Plan serves as an update to the original Plan.
Background Information
In 2000, the United States Congress determined that disasters and, more importantly, lack
of preparedness for disasters, were significant causes of loss of life, human suffering, loss
of income, and property loss and damage. Furthermore, because disasters often disrupt
the normal functioning of governments and communities and adversely affect individuals
and families with great severity, special measures designed to assist the efforts of the
affected States in expediting the rendering of aid, assistance, and emergency services,
and the reconstruction and rehabilitation of devastated areas, were necessary. As a result,
Congress passed the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), or Public Law 106-390,
to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. This
provides an opportunity for States, Tribal governments, and local jurisdictions to apply for
assistance from the Federal government in carrying out their responsibilities to alleviate
the suffering and damage which results from such disasters by:
a. revising and broadening the scope of existing disaster relief programs;
b. encouraging the development of comprehensive disaster preparedness and
assistance plans, programs, capabilities, and organizations by the States and by
local governments;
c. achieving greater coordination and responsiveness of disaster preparedness and
relief programs;
d. encouraging individuals, States, and local governments to protect themselves by
obtaining insurance coverage to supplement or replace governmental assistance;
e. encouraging hazard mitigation measures to reduce losses from disasters,
including development of land use and construction regulations; and
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
f. providing Federal assistance programs for both public and private losses sustained
in disasters.
DMA 2000 allows State, Tribal, and local jurisdictions to obtain Federal assistance through
pre -disaster hazard mitigation planning. As part of the requirements for receiving Federal
grants for improving a locality's resistance to disasters, each locality must determine their
existing vulnerabilities and develop a plan to reduce or eliminate these vulnerabilities and
must have this plan approved by the appropriate State and Federal officials. Upon
approval of this plan, each locality is eligible to receive various types of disaster -related
assistance through FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Program. This includes
the Pre -Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
which releases grant funds before and after a hazard event as well as the Flood Mitigation
Assistance Grant (FMA) Program which appropriates funds for projects and planning that
will reduce long-term risk of flood damage to structures insured under the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP).
The PDM program provides funds for hazard mitigation planning and the implementation
of mitigation actions rior to a disaster event. These grants are funded and approved
through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on a competitive basis. The
HMGP provides grants to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after a major
disaster declaration. These grants are funded by FEMA, but are distributed by the State.
In California, that agency is the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).
FEMA has developed guidance to assist communities in developing both the vulnerability
assessments and plans to reduce or eliminate their vulnerabilities to disasters. These
tools, coupled with techniques from the safety and security industries were used to
develop the City's Hazard Mitigation Plan. Additional information regarding the HMGP and
PDM programs can be found in FEMA's "Hazard Mitigation Assistance Unified Guidance"
document, located in FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance portal
(http://www.fema.gov/hazard-mitigation-assistance). Additional information including
guidance and regulations can be found at the Cal DES's Local Hazard Mitigation Planning
Program portal
(http://hazardmitigation.calema.ca.gov/plan/local hazard mitigation plan Ihmp).
In order to be eligible for certain Federal disaster assistance and mitigation funding, the
City is required to have a Cal OES- and FEMA -approved Hazard Mitigation Plan in place.
As a result, the City obtained grant funding to update this document to fulfill Cal OES and
FEMA requirements and provide direction and guidance on implementing hazard
mitigation actions on a hazard -level, probability, and cost -priority basis. The overall goal
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
of the Hazard Mitigation Plan is to reduce the potential for damage to critical assets from
natural and man-made hazards. In addition, the plan describes past and current hazard
mitigation activities and philosophies, and outlines future mitigation goals and strategies.
FEMA Requirements
FEMA requires that the Hazard Mitigation Plan meet certain requirements. First, the
planning process must be open and public, and must allow the public to have an
opportunity to comment during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval. Second, the
process must allow other local jurisdictions to be involved in the planning process. Third,
the Plan must incorporate, if appropriate, existing plans, studies, reports, and technical
information.
FEMA expects that each Hazard Mitigation Plan have the following information:
1. Documentation of the planning process used to develop the plan
2. A risk assessment that provides a factual basis for upgrades and
recommendations
3. A description of the natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction
4. A description of the jurisdiction's vulnerability to these hazards
5. A description of land usage, and an estimate of losses should a disaster occur
6. A mitigation strategy
7. A plan maintenance process
8. Documentation that the plan has been adopted by the jurisdiction's governing
body
9. Review by the State Hazard Mitigation Officer
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
Mitigation is the ongoing effort to prevent or lessen future emergency or disaster incidents,
and the impacts they might have on people, property, and the environment. Examples of
mitigation activities include the following:
• Legislation, laws and
regulations;
• Variances;
• Zoning and land use
management;
• Engineering and building codes;
• Hazard mitigation plans & teams;
• Technical guidance &
assistance;
• Financial assistance;
• Hazard Identification;
• Risk Analysis;
• Evaluation;
• Research; and
• Education.
Mitigation decreases the demand for emergency response resources, reduces the
principal causes of injuries and deaths, enables a quicker lifesaving response and
economic recovery because the community infrastructure remains intact, and reduces the
societal impacts of the emergency because it results in less disruption to the social
environment. In essence, mitigation is the foundation of sustainable community
development.
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
Hazard mitigation planning is a dynamic process built on realistic assessments of past
and present information that enables the City to anticipate future hazards and provide
mitigation strategies to address possible impacts and identified needs. The overall
approach to the Hazard Mitigation Plan included developing a baseline understanding of
natural and man-made hazards, determining ways to reduce those risks, and prioritizing
mitigation recommendations for implementation.
To complete these objectives, the City compiled a qualified team with various expertise,
including Police, Finance, Community Development, Emergency Management, Parks and
Recreation, Public Works, and Utilities departments to participate on a Steering
Committee to guide the development of the City's comprehensive Hazard Mitigation Plan.
In addition, the Steering Committee solicited public involvement throughout the planning
process, including the release of a public survey through the City's Police Department
Facebook page, allowing the public to comment during the drafting stage, and making the
draft Plan available to allow the public to comment on its content. Chapter 1: Planning
Process, contains descriptions of the Planning process, including information on the
Steering Committee and public involvement.
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan an
The City is vulnerable to a wide range of natural and man-made hazards that threaten life
and property. In order to identify the hazards that the City and neighboring communities
perceive as the largest threat, each member of the Steering Committee participated in the
Hazard Identification exercise during the first Steering Committee Meeting. The Steering
Committee brainstormed potential hazards based on past incidents that have impacted
the City and information incorporated from other studies. (Incorporated Plans and studies
are described in Section1.3 "Review and Incorporation of Existing Plans") Each identified
hazard was then qualitatively ranked based upon hazard probability/frequency,
consequence/severity, and the City's overall vulnerability using an interactive model.
Section 3.2 Hazard Identification, contains detailed information regarding the hazard
ranking. Table ES.1 provides a summary of the hazard ranking.

Asset Inventory and Loss Estimates
In addition to the hazard profiles, the Risk Assessment contains a detailed asset inventory
that lists the City's assets, such as buildings, parks, public facilities, and critical non -City
assets, such as hospitals and schools. This asset inventory was used in the vulnerability
assessment to estimate potential losses for each hazard. The Steering Committee
reviewed each hazard and assigned a potential percentage of damage expected. This
also included loss of function values for lifeline and emergency service interruptions.
Section 3.19 Loss Estimates, includes a detailed breakdown of the vulnerability
assessment calculations.

City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
Plan Goals and Objectives
As part of the development process, Plan goals and objectives were revalidated to provide
a framework for mitigating hazards and proposing potential mitigation actions. The goals
are consistent with the California State Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Los Angeles
County Hazard Mitigation Plan and were developed by the Steering Committee. The City's
overall Plan goals are to:
• Prevent Future Hazard -Related Losses of Life, Property, and Commerce
• Increase Public Awareness
• Improve Emergency Management Capability
• Develop and Enhance partners and Implementation
• Protect the Environment
In addition to the overall Plan goals, individual objectives were developed that more
specifically address mitigation strategies. Section 4.1 Mitigation Goals and Objectives
contains the full list of the Plan goals and objectives.
Mitigation Strategies
Mitigation strategies are administrative and/or engineering project recommendations to
reduce the vulnerability to the identified hazards. The Steering Committee identified
specific mitigation actions to reduce the impact or likelihood of the hazards. The specific
objectives served as a starting point for developing the mitigation actions, and additional
actions were taken from the Safety Element of the City's General Plan.
Implementation Plan
Following the identification of mitigation actions, a simplified Benefit -Cost Review was
applied in order to prioritize the mitigation actions for implementation. The priority for
implementing mitigation actions depended upon the overall cost effectiveness of the
action, when taking into account monetary and non -monetary costs and benefits
associated with each action. Additionally, the following questions were considered when
developing the Benefit -Cost Review:
• How many people will benefit from the action?
• How large of an area is impacted?
• How critical are the facilities that benefit from the action?
• Environmentally, does it make sense to do this project for the overall community?
City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
The Benefit -Cost Review yielded a relative priority ranking (High, Medium, or Low) for
each mitigation action. Each ranking was defined as follows.
• High: Benefits are perceived to exceed costs without further study or evaluations;
or the action is critical.
• Medium: Benefits are perceived to exceed costs, but may require further study or
evaluation prior to implementation.
• Low: Benefits and costs require evaluation prior to implementation.
Mitigation actions identified as high-priority are typically implemented before lower ranked
actions. Results from the Benefit -Cost Review are located in Chapter 4.4 Prioritization of
Mitigation Recommendations. The Steering Committee considered responsible
departments, funding resources, and estimated implementation timeframe when
developing the implementation plan.
Chapter 4 Mitigation Strategies contains additional information regarding the mitigation
strategies and implementation plan. Table ES.3 on the following pages provides a
summary of each mitigation action, including the hazard(s) mitigated, responsible
agency/department, and relative priority rank taken from the Benefit -Cost Review.

City of Tustin Hazard Mitigation Plan
The Hazard Mitigation Plan is a living document that reflects ongoing hazard mitigation
activities and requires monitoring, evaluating, and updating to ensure the mitigation
actions are implemented. To facilitate the Hazard Mitigation Planning process and adhere
to regulatory requirements, the Plan will be reviewed annually and any major revisions will
be incorporated into the five-year update. In addition, public involvement will be requested
when applicable. Chapter 5: Plan Maintenance outlines the update requirements and
planning mechanisms the City has in place for ongoing hazard mitigation.
