Volume I: Mitigation Action Plan
Executive Summary: Five-Year Action Plan
The 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 multi-hazard issues, as well as hazard-specific activities that can be implemented to reduce risk and prevent loss from future natural hazard events.
Section 1: Introduction
The Introduction describes the background and purpose of developing the Local Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan for the city of Glendale.
Section 2: Community Profile
This section presents the history, geography, demographics, and socioeconomics of the city of Glendale. It serves as a tool to provide an historical perspective of natural hazards in the city, and a springboard to understand how natural hazards can impact the city in the future.
Section 3: Risk Assessment
This section provides information on hazard identification, vulnerability and risk associated with natural hazards in the city of Glendale.
Section 4: Multi-Hazard Goals and Action Items
This section provides information on the process used to develop goals and action items that cut across the four natural hazards addressed in the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Section 5: Plan Maintenance
This section provides information on Plan implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
Volume II: Hazard Specific Information
Hazard-specific information on four chronic hazards is addressed in this Plan. Chronic hazards occur with some regularity and may be forecasted through historic evidence and scientific methods. Catastrophic hazards do not occur with the frequency of chronic hazards, but notwithstanding, they can have devastating impacts on life, property, and the environment. In southern California, because of its geology and terrain, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, and landslides have the potential to be catastrophic as well as chronic hazards.
The hazards addressed in the Plan include:
Section 6: Earthquakes (PDF)
Section 7: Wildfires (PDF)
Section 8: Floods, Mudflows, and Catastrophic Inundation due to Failure of Reservoirs (PDF)
Section 9: Landslides and Slope Instability (PDF)
Each of the hazard-specific sections includes information on the history, hazard causes and characteristics, hazard assessment, goals and action items, and local, state, and national resources available to mitigate or reduce the impact of these hazards.
