SUBJECT: 4.4(a)-- 2022-2027 City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution accepting the 2022-2027 City of Redding Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, as
approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund from approving the 2022-2027 Loca1 Hazard
Mitigation Plan (Plan) at this time.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the Plan as proposed and provide
alternative direction to staff. This wi11 render the City out of compliance with Federal and State
of California requirements and will impact the City's eligibility for federal disaster mitigation
funds.
Background
Attached for consideration by the Council is the draft Plan. The Plan's purpose is to fulfill the
requirements of the Disaster 1Vlitigation Act of 2000, which calls for a11 communities to prepare
mitigation plans. The plan includes resources and information to assist City residents, public-
and private-sector organizations, and others interested in participating in planning for hazards.
The plan provides a list of aspirational mitigation activities that, if accomplished, may assist the
City in reducing risk and preventing loss from future hazard events.
The City's initial Local Hazard Mitigation Plan was adopted in 2005 and was updated in 2012
and 2015. The Plan is required to be maintained and updated to ensure the City is prepared to
handle emergencies which may occur that are beyond local capability. Adoption of the plan is
also required in order for the City to be eligible for State and Federal assistance and associated

SUBJECT: 4(�)2--Public Hearing Re�;arding �he City of Redding Local Hazard Miti�ation
Plan
Recommendation
Conduct a public hearing, and upon conclusion, find tha City of Radding Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan (LHMP) consistent with the City's General Plan.
Backgr^ound
The Disaster Mitigation Aet of 2000 (DMA 2000), eoininonly known as the 2000 Stafford Act,
was approved by Congress on Octobar 10, 2000. The Stafford Act was amended by the President
an C)ctober 30, 20Q0, moving the einphasis from post-disaster mitigatian to pre-disaster
mitigation planning and projects. The Fed�ral Govarnm�nt has required the State of California to
coinply with DMA 2000 in order to receive any mitigation monies and post disaster relief
funding. In turn, tha State of California has passed along this requirement to any city, county or
district who would like to receive mitiga�ion dollars any post disas�er reimbursements from the
Federal Emergeney Management Agency(PEMA) or the State of California.
The City of Redding (City) Local Hazard Mitigation Plan's purpose is to ful�ll tha requirements
of the DMA 2000, which ealls for all communities to prepare mitigation plans. The plan includes
resources and information to assist City residents, public- and private-sector organizations, and
others interested in participating in planning for hazards. The plan provides a list of aspirational
mitigation activities that, if accomplished, may assist the City in reducing risk and pr�venting
lass �rom future hazard events.
Hazard mitigation is any action that reduees the effects of future disasters. It has been
demonstratad that hazard mitigation is inost effective when based on an inclusive,
comprehensive, long-term plan that is developed before a disaster actually occurs. Hazard
mitigation along witla preparedness, response, and recovery are the four phas�s of emerg�ncy
management. Hazard mitigation is the only phase of emergency management specifically
dedicated to brcal�ing the cyele of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.

Report ta Redding Planning Cammission October 22, 2021
Re: 4�b)2--Public Hearing Re:Loeal Hazard Mitigatian Plan Update Page 2
The DMA 2000, Section 322a-d, requires that local governments, as a condition of receiving
federal disaster mitigation funds, have a mitigation plan that describes the process for identifying
hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities; identifies and prioritizes mitigation actions; encourages the
development of local mitigation; and provides �echnical support for those efforts. This mitigation
plan serves to meet those r�quirements.
The City's initial Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) was adopted in 2005 and was updated
in 2012 and 2015. This plan is required to be maintained and updated to ensure the City is
prepar�d to handle emergencies which may occur that are beyond our local capability, and to be
eligible for state and federal assistance and associated funding in the event such an emergency
meets the requirements for an incident under the Stafford Act, as amended, Apri12013.

City of Redding �ocal Hazard Mitigation Plan
1.0 /NTRODUCTION
People and property in Redding are at risk from a variety of hazards that have the potential for causing
widespread loss of lives and damage to property, infrastructure, and the environment. Hazards are part
of the world around us. Natural occurrences such as wildiand fires,floods, winter storms, and earthquakes
are inevitable and are natural phenomena which we cannot control. The occurrence of a natural hazard
can result in damages and hardships for an entire community for many years following the event.
Disasters result when the man-made environment, such as buildings and infrastructure, take place in areas
subject to forces of nature. The frequency of disasters is rising at a substantial rate due to the fact that
more and more people have chosen to live and work in locations that put them at risk.
Subject to availability of adequate funding and staffing, the purpose of hazard mitigation is to implement
and sustain actions that reduce vulnerability and risk from hazards or reduce the severity of the effects of
hazards on people and property. Mitigation actions are both short-term and long-term activities which
reduce the cause or occurrence of hazards; reduce exposure to hazards; or reduce effects of hazards
through various means, including preparedness, response, and recovery measures. Effective mitigation
actions will also reduce the adverse impact and cost of future disasters.
The City of Redding �ocal Hazard Mitigation Plan includes resources and information to assist in planning
for hazards. The plan provides a list of actions that may assist the City of Redding in reducing risk and
preventing loss from future hazard events. The actions address hazards, as well as specific activities for,
Wildland Fire, Flood, Hazardous Material, Severe Winter Weather, Earthquakes, Utility Disruption,Aviation
Disaster, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNE), Dam Overflow or Failure, and
Volcanic issues.

City of Redding �ocal Hazard Mitigation Plan
3.0 OFFICIAL RECORD OF ADOPTION
This section provides a general and comprehensive view of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. This
includes a review of the federal requirements, City adoption, and supporting documentation.
3.9 Disaster Mitigation Act 2000 Requirements
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), commonly known as the 2000 Stafford Act amendments,
was approved by Congress on October 10, 2000. On October 30, 2000, the President signed the bill into
law, creating Public Law 106-390. DMA 2000 amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act by repealing the previous Mitigation Planning Section 409 and replacing it with
a new Mitigation Planning Section 322. The DMA 2000 is the latest legislation to improve the hazard
mitigation planning process. The new legislation reinforces the importance of mitigation planning and
emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur. As such, the DMA 2000 establishes a pre-disaster
hazard mitigation program and new requirements for the national post-disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant
Program (HMGP).
The DMA 2000 specifically addresses mitigation planning at the state and local levels. It identifies new
requirements that allow HMGP funds to be used for planning activities and increases the amount of NMGP
funds available to states that have developed a comprehensive, enhanced mitigation plan prior to a
disaster. States and communities must have an approved mitigation plan in place prior to receiving post-
disaster HMGP funds. Local and tribal mitigation plans must demonstrate that their proposed mitigation
measures are based on a sound planning process that accounts for the risk to, and the capabilities of, the
individual communities.
State governments have certain responsibilities for implementing the program. DMA 2000 is intended to
facilitate cooperation between state and local authorities, prompting them to work together. It encourages
and rewards local and state pre-disaster planning and promotes sustainability as a strategy for disaster
resistance. This enhanced planning network will better enable local and state governments to articulate
accurate needs for mitigation, resulting in faster allocation of funding and more effective risk-reduction
projects.
Table 3-1
DMA 2000 Requirements— Prerequisites
Ado tion b the Local Governin Bod
The local hazard mitigation plan shall include documentation that the
REQUIREMENT plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction
§201.6(C)(5) requesting approval of the plan (e.g., City Council, County
Commissioner, and Tribal Council).
Adoption by the local governing body demonstrates the jurisdiction's
commitment to fulfilling the mitigation goals and objectives outlined in
EXPLANATION the plan. Adoption legitimizes the plan and authorizes responsible
agencies to execute their responsibilities. For final approval by FEMA,
the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan must include a copy of the local
governing body's resolution adopting the plan.
E�EMENT A. Has the plan been formally adopted by the local governing body?
B. Is a copy of the plan adoption resolution included?

law, creating Public �aw 106-390, amending the Stafford Act with regard to hazard mitigation planning
primarily by moving from post-disaster mitigation to pre-disaster mitigation planning and projects. The
DMA 2000 emphasizes greater interaction between the state and federal governments, which have a
continuing interest in streamlining the mitigation planning, implementation, and project-funding process.
4.2 Purpose and Authority of Plan
The City of Redding (City) Hazard Mitigation Plan's purpose is to fulfill the requirements of the DMA 2000,
which calls for all communities to prepare mitigation plans. The plan includes resources and information
to assist City residents, public- and private-sector organizations, and others interested in participating in
planning for hazards. The plan provides a list of mitigation activities that may assist the City in reducing
risk and preventing loss from future hazard events.
Hazard mitigation is any action that reduces the effects of future disasters. It has been demonstrated that
hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long-term plan that is
developed before a disaster actually occurs. Hazard mitigation, along with preparedness, response, and
recovery are the four phases of emergency management. Hazard mitigation is the only phase of
emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and
repeated damage.
The DMA 2000, Section 322a-d, requires that local governments, as a condition of receiving federal
disaster mitigation funds, have a mitigation plan that describes the process for identifying hazards, risks,
and vulnerabilities; identifies and prioritizes mitigation actions; encourages the development of local
mitigation; and provides technical support for those efforts. This mitigation plan serves to meet those
requirements.
4.3 Plan Description
The City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan consists of the following primary sections:
Community
This section provides details of our community to provide sufficient background for the hazard profiles and
risk assessments that are presented in subsequent chapters. This description includes regional setting,
history, and government and includes information regarding the climate, population, demographics, and
economy.

City of Redding �ocal Hazard Mitigation Plan
Vulnerability Assessment
Through this process, the project team identified and gathered corresponding data on all potential hazards
that present a danger to the City and the adjacent surrounding area. The information gathered includes
historical data on natural hazard events that have occurred in and near the City and what impacts these
events had on residents and their property.
Risk Assessment
This section utilizes the information gathered through the vulnerability assessment process to determine
what assets in the community will be affected by the hazard event. The inventory of assets includes
people, housing units, critical facilities, special facilities, infrastructure, hazardous materials facilities, and
commercial facilities. This data was compiled by assessing the potential impacts from each hazard using
past events. The information in this section provides the City with information that outlines the full range
of hazards the City may face and the potential social impacts, damages, and economic losses.
Mitigation Strategy
This section identifies mitigation actionslmeasures and implementation strategies for the City. Additionally,
this section provides a comprehensive strategy for addressing mitigation priorities. The mitigation
measures include preventive actions, property-protection techniques, structural projects, natural resource-
protection strategies, emergency services, and public education and awareness activities.

5.0 PLANNING PROCESS
This section describes the process in which the plan was developed. This includes the federal requirement
followed by the City's actions applied to this process.
5.9 DMA 2000 Requirements
The table below summarizes the DMA 2000 requirements for documentation of the planning process.
Table 5-1
DMA 2000 Requirements — Planning Process
and Documentation Planning Process
Requires that there be an open public involvement process in the formation of
the plan. This includes opportunities for the public to comment on the plan at
REQUIREMENT all stages of its formation and the involvement of any neighboring communities,
§201.6(b) and �nterested agencies, or private and nonprofit organizations. This should also
§201.6(c)(1) include a review of any existing plans or studies and incorporation of these if
appropriate. Documentation of the planning process, including how the plan
was prepared, who was involved in the process, and how the public was
involved is essential.
A description of the planning process should include how the plan was
prepared, who was involved in the planning process, and the timeframe for
preparing the plan.
The plan should document how the planning team was formed and the number
and outcomes of the meetings the planning team held. Ideally, the local
mitigation planning team is composed of local, state, and federal agency
EXP�ANATION representatives, as well as community representatives, local business leaders,
and educators.
In addition to the core team preparing the plan, it is also important to indicate
how the public (residents, businesses, and other interested parties)
participated, including what means (e.g., Web pages, storefronts, toll-free
phone lines) were made available to those who could not attend public forums
to voice concerns or rovide in ut durin the lannin rocess.
A. Does the plan provide a description of how the plan was prepared?
B. Does the plan indicate how the planning team was formed (including who
ELEMENT Was involved)?
C. Does the plan indicate how the public was involved in the process?
D. Does the planning process describe what means were made available to
those who could not attend public meetings to provide input?

5.2 Plan Deve/opment
The initial phase of the planning process was to identify a team leader and to establish a project team
comprised of City agencies. Planning Manager �ily Toy served as the project team leader and as the
primary contact person for the City. The project team was formed as an advisory group and as a task
group to review and update the plan. Meeting dates were set on a bi-weekly basis. As done in the past,
the project team solicited participation for the team. The project team invited interested parties, such as
the local American Red Cross,the Shasta County Office of Emergency Services, and various City agencies
not represented on the project team. The members of the City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Project Team
(HMPT) are listed in Table 5-2 below:

The update to the plan was initiated in September 2020. The project team participated in working
independently reviewing and making revisions for specific portions of the Plan. Interested parties and/or
stakeholders were involved in reviewing and updating the goals, objectives and actions. The project team
reviewed the Shasta County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, the City's General Plan, and the
City's Flood Inundation/Evacuation Plan to incorporate information and ensure consistency with other
existing plans. The project team held bi-weekly meetings from September 2020 through November 2020.
The plan was circulated for public review in April 2021. During the review period, the stakeholders were
allowed opportunities to review the goals, objectives and actions and maps of the analyzed hazard
scenarios developed by the project team. Following the review period, the project team re-assessed and
re-identified characteristics and potential consequences of natural and non-natural hazards affecting the
City. With the understanding of the risks posed by the identified hazards, the team determined priorities
and assessed various methods to avoid or minimize any undesired effects. As a result, mitigation strategy
and goals were updated. The team then went on to revised the implementation and monitoring plan in
which the plan will be implemented through various hazard mitigation projects, changes in day-to-day City
operations, and through continued hazard mitigation development.

5.3 Community Participation
Public input during the development of the mitigation plan update assisted in shaping plan goals and
mitigations. The HMPT invited various stakeholders to the regularly scheduled meetings and held a
separate stakeholder's workshop to help identify priorities in developing goals for reducing risk and
preventing loss from natural and non-natural hazards in the City. Press releases were issued to invite the
public to the public workshop. When the draft was completed, a 20-day public comment period was
initiated. A public notice was placed in the local newspaper to invite the public to review and comment on
the draft plan. Copies of the plan were made available at the local library and at City Hall. Furthermore, a
draft of the plan was posted on the City's website.
5.4 Local Hazard Mitigation Planning Benefits
During the process of developing the plan, benefits were realized. The following is a list of the benefits
that were generated during development of the plan.
1. Allowed for an in-depth analysis of current Hazardous Materials Facilities in the City and the potential
effects of a release of Hazardous Material.
2. Provided the City with a thumbprint view of where those facilities are located and what chemical
hazards they have on-site.
3. Provided for the sharing of information and team building between City departments.
4. Gave the City a beginning points for discussions on transportation hazards and how to effectively
deal with one should it occur. "Plan for the worst, hope for the best."
5. Heightened our awareness level as to the nature of disasters in our community.
6. Provided an evaluation tool on our current resources and how to best utilize them in an emergency.
7. Allowed the City to practice the plan for scenario responses and mitigation measures on some of the
disasters.
8. Provided more up-to-date informational maps on specific hazards and facility locations.
9. Provided better methodology for quickly calculating property loss, number of affected structures, and
population.
10. Enhanced the City of Redding Emergency Preparedness Program.

6.0 COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION
This section is to provide a glimpse into the community of Redding. This includes general information
concerning regional setting, history, government, climate, population, economy, land use, and
development patterns.
6.1 Regional Setting
The City of Redding is located in Shasta County in northern California, nestled between the Cascades and
Trinity Alps. It is approximately 100 miles south of the Oregon border and 160 miles north of Sacramento.
Redding's current population is approximately 92,590 which makes it the largest city in Shasta County and
the largest city in California north of Sacramento. Redding also serves as the county seat of Shasta
County.
Redding is situated at the far northern end of the Sacramento Valley, at the point where the valley meets
the foothills of the Cascade mountain range. Elevations range from 500 to 5,000 feet above mean sea
level. The City's mean elevation is 557 feet above mean sea level. Redding is surrounded by mountains
to the west, north, and east. The most distinctive geographical feature in the area is the Sacramento River,
which meanders nine miles through the City in a general north-south direction. Several creeks also run
through the City from the west and east. These creeks function as tributaries to the Sacramento River.
Some have carved gullies and ravines with depths of up to 200 feet, mainly in the western part of the City.
This stretch of river is one of the finest trout-fishing waters in the western United States.
Redding is bisected by Interstate 5, a major north-south freeway that runs from Canada to Mexico.
Interstate 5 connects Redding with major metropolitan areas such as Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, and
Los Angeles. State Routes 299, 273, and 44 also pass through Redding, connecting the City with the
Pacific Coast and Nevada. The main north-south line of the Union Pacific Railroad runs through the
community as well. Redding's location also places it near many outdoor attractions and recreational areas,
such as Shasta Lake, Lassen Volcanic National Park, and the Shasta/Trinity/Whiskeytown National
Recreation Area.
Redding was founded in 1872 and incorporated in 1887 at the northern terminus of the California and
Oregon Railroad. The City's early growth was stimulated by the railroad and by the move of the county
seat from Shasta in 1884. Mining played a major role in the economic life of Redding as the century
progressed. In 1938, the beginning of construction of Shasta Dam provided another stimulus to growth in
Redding. The construction boom after World War II boosted the lumber industry, which became the
mainstay of Redding's economy. In more recent years, retail trade, construction, and tourism have become
more significant activities as the lumber industry has declined. Redding has become a major regional
center for shopping, health care, education, and government. As a result of this, the Redding area has
become one of the faster-growing areas in California.

6.2 History
Nine bands of northern Wintu people have resided within the area of the Norther River Valley and
surrounding mountains from time immemorial, living with the abundant landscape. The area was a hub
and intersection of trad and commerce. The awarding of the Rancho Bueno Verna Mexican �and Grant in
1844 to European-American (Mexican) settler Pierson B. Reading initiated the first European-American
settlement of the area. With the encroachment of Mexican and Anglo-Amercians, the Indigenous Peoples
of the region suffered greatly from violent displacement, epidemics of foreign diseases as well as State
and Federal policies of extermination and removal. Many of the Wintu resided in the EI-Pom (linguistically
referred to as ?elpom) area where Redding would later be founded. They were among several tribes that
were promised sanctuary and reservation land on the east side of the river and the Treaty of Cottonwood
Creek of 1851, which was never honored nor ratified by the State of Federal government. Wintu
descendants still reside in the area today.
By 1862, he had mapped out a town near the mouth of Clear Creek and the Sacramento River. Redding
was founded in 1872; the year the"California and Oregon Railroad" reached the site of the City, which was
to be its northern terminus for the next 12 years. The coming of the railroad saw the rise of Redding, along
with the decline of Shasta, the"Queen City"of northern California and, in the 1870's, the largest settlement
in that part of the state. Shasta did not have a railroad, so business activity swung to Redding. With the
railroad came a man named Benjamin Redding, who was a land agent for the Central Pacific Railroad.
With the development of the town, the legislature wanted to name the town Reading after its founder. The
railroad was not happy with this choice and would not recognize the name. It wanted the town named after
its agent, Benjamin Redding. Finally, in 1880, everyone gave in and the town was given the railroad's
choice of names. At that time, there were 9,492 residents in Redding. The city's growth was stimulated by
the railroad and by the move of the county seat to Redding from Shasta in 1884. Redding was incorporated
on October 4, 1887, the same year that the Southern Pacific Railroad came to Redding. Mining played a
major role in the economic life of Redding around the turn of the century, but it declined as the twentieth
century progressed. In 1938, the beginning of construction of Shasta Dam provided another stimulus to
growth in Redding. The construction boom after World War II boosted the limber industry, which became
the mainstay of Redding's economy. In the late 1990s, retail trade, construction, and tourism became more
significant activities as the lumber industry declined. Redding is a major center in Shasta County for
shopping, health care, education, and government.
Since its incorporation in 1887, the area within the city limits of Redding has grown from 3.65 square miles
to 60.03 square miles. The original City town site as plated in 1872 established the town limits at North
(now Eureka Way), South, East, and West Streets. Redding's early growth was spurred by copper and
gold strikes during the late 1800s, which led to an initial boom period between 1890 and 1910. By 1890,
Redding's boundary had grown to the Sacramento River on the north, Sequoia Street on the east, Grant
Street on the south, and Almond Street on the west. In the 1940s, initial development north of the river
and residential development moving toward the south occurred. In the 1950s, initial development of the
area along North Market Street occurred. With the opening of the Interstate 5 freeway, development
spread to the north. Interstate 5 continued to spur development along its corridor during the 1970s.
On January 1, 1970, the City was comprised of 15.2 square miles. Two significant annexations occurred
in 1976 that dramatically altered the size and configuration of Redding. In June 1976, the Cascade
Community Services District was annexed, adding 3,000 acres to the City south of town. Later, in
December, the former Enterprise Public Utility District was annexed, adding another 3,200 acres east of
town. These two annexations increased Redding's size by nearly 10 square miles. The largest annexation
since 1976 was the Texas Springs/Oregon Gulch annexation, which added 1,692 acres on the west side

to the City. With a few smaller annexations and one de-annexation occurring since, the City is now
comprised of 60.88 square miles.

6.3 Government
The City of Redding is a general law city, formed under state legislative statutes and governed by a body
of laws in the State Constitution. The Redding City Council consists of five council members elected "at
large"for staggered four-year terms. Council members must be residents of the City and registered voters
both at the time nomination papers are taken out and upon assuming office.
Redding is one of the many California cities operating under the Council-Manager form of government.
Under this system, the Council establishes the policies under which the City operates and appoints a
trained and experienced City Manager to administer the affairs of the City. His responsibilities include hiring
of City staff, preparation of the annual budget, administration and coordination of the City's operations,
general supervision over all property under the control of the City, and enforcement of City ordinances and
applicable state laws.
The City Manager appoints a staff to assist him in carrying out his duties. City departments include
Administrative Services, City Attorney's office, City Clerk's office, City Treasurer's office, Community
Services, Development Services, Electric, Fire, Human Resources, Municipal Services, Support Services,
and Police.
Like the City Manager, the City Attorney is appointed by the City Council. Both the City Clerk and the City
Treasurer are elected by the public.
Redding is a full-service city with approximately 1,000 full- and part-time employees. The City's services
include:
Airport
General Administrative Services
Highways and Streets
Housing
Planning and Zoning
Public Safety(Police and Fire)
Public tmprovements
Recreation and Parks
Solid Waste Collection and Disposal
Tourist Bureau
Utilities (Electric, Water, and Wastewater)
A list of the City's critical facilities is provided in Appendix 1 of this document.
6.4 Climate
Climatologists describe the climate in the Redding area as Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and cool,
wet winters. In January, the average temperatures range from 36 degrees to 55 degrees. In April, the
average daily high is 70 degrees, with an average daily low of 46 degrees. During July, the temperatures
range from 65 to 99 degrees, with some days exceeding 100. Annual rainfall averages 33 inches, most of
which falls between November and March.

6.6 Economy
The outdoor lifestyle and air quality of the Redding area have attracted many highly skilled people from
larger urban areas, creating a choice labor force. In June 2019, the Redding Area ranked as the 29th most
dynamic metropolitan area in the country. The study titled "Most Dynamic Metropolitans" looked at 379
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (commonly referred to as MSAs). The study was published by a collaboration
between the Walton Family Foundation and Heartland Forward (WFF). The Redding MSA includes the
Cities surrounding the City of Redding from Lake Shasta down to the southern county border. The study
puts the Redding MSA in the top 8 percent of all communities evaluated. The study looks at factors that
include: innovation, economic opportunity for residents, local economic development strategies, job
growth, average annual earnings growth, and area gross domestic product (GDP). For the Redding MSA
specifically, we finished near the top in the wage growth category and we were ranked 16 in GDP growth.
Our startup community and the jobs created by entrepreneurs was also a key factor in our ranking.
Redding also offers an extremely successful Down Payment Assistance Program to aid first-time
homebuyers. Affordable commercial and residential real estate, low-cost skilled labor, and a low crime
rate also contribute to Redding's rapid growth.
One of the key components of Shasta County's business retention plan is to acknowledge and cater to
small businesses; particularly those that help create a diverse economy with industrial linkages between
local manufacturers. The Redding City Council has developed a number of local incentives for industrial
development and businesses that create new jobs.
The Shasta Metro Enterprise Zone consists of 51 square miles of commercial and industrial sectors of the
cities of Redding, Anderson, and Shasta Lake, as well as adjacent industrial areas of Shasta County.
Special incentives offered by the Enterprise Zone include sales and tax credit, hiring assistance, business
expense deduction, net operating loss carryover, and net interest deductions for lenders.
Occupations in Redding include:
Agriculture
Construction
Finance
Government
Manufacturing
Retail Trade
Services
Transportation, Commercial, Utilities
Wholesale Trade
6.7 Land Uses
Redding adopted its first General Plan in 1958. The Plan Area covered 9,366 acres, or 14.6 square miles,
consisting of a land use diagram and a streets and highways plan, and included five land use
classifications: Single Family, High Density Residential/Professional, Retail Commercial, Planned
Industrial, and Public. By contrast, the General Plan adopted in 1970 covered approximately 73 square
miles. The current General Plan, adopted in 2000, covers approximately 110 square miles and includes
23 land use designations. The residential land uses encompass approximately 37,000 acres. The
nonresidential land uses encompass approximately 35,000 acres. The non-residential land uses include

office, commercial, heavy commercial, industrial, public facilities/institutional, airport service, greenway,
park, and recreation.
6.8 Development Patterns
While in part the result of topography, flood-prone land and physical barriers (such as the Sacramento
River, Interstate 5, and the Union Pacific Railroad), the relatively low-density, discontinuous nature of
Redding's development pattern does not come without its costs. These include increased costs of
providing public services; loss of community identity, or "sense of place"; decreased air quality due to a
near total reliance on the automobile; and a neglect of older, established residential neighborhoods and
commercial areas in preference for development in new areas.
Few cities have the luxury of sole control over all land uses contained within them, and Redding is no
exception. Redding has grown geographically through the annexation of lands which were formerly outside
its jurisdictional control. In fact, some of the larger annexations (e.g., Enterprise and Cascade areas)
added not only significant territory to the City, but also increased its population base and level of
development as well. In part, this helps to explain why there seems to be no organizing principle underlying
Redding's urban structure. It also serves to explain the lack of consistency in infrastructure improvements,
landscape, and building design, as well as lack of public-street access to individual properties found in
various parts of the City.
Redding can be divided into five primary sectors, each of which is shaped by its unique characteristics,
histories, and issues. These areas are: (1) Central and West Redding, (2) East Redding (Enterprise),
(3) Dana Drive and Northeast Redding, (4) North Redding, and (5) South Redding.
Central and West Redding
Central Redding is the location of the City's original commercial and office core. Local government facilities
and most of its older residential districts are also located here. Spreading outward from the original town
site astride the railroad in a grid pattern typical of the time, Redding grew north and east to the edge of the
bluff that borders the Sacramento River, south along the highway and railroad spine, and west into the hills
and gullies. Extension of the early street pattern across the ravines created unusable lots and "paper"
streets that remain undeveloped today.
Some of the City's most unique and historic residential areas are located west of Central Redding in the
Magnolia neighborhood and its adjacent neighborhoods. Farther west, beyond Benton Airpark and the
now-closed Benton Sanitary Landfill, lays a large, residential district, consisting exclusively of single-family
subdivisions. Development of some of these areas began in the early 1950s and new developments
continue to be constructed today.
West Redding is not only home to some of the City's more popular neighborhoods, but is also home to
Mercy Medical Center and numerous doctors' office complexes and professional offices. With the
construction of Interstate 5, most new commercial investment was directed to locations other than Central
Redding. The expansion of county government offices, Shasta Regional Medical Center, and Mercy
Medical Center also promoted office construction along Court, Oregon, and West Streets, displacing older
residential uses.
Downtown's recent redevelopment was ignited by the significant update to the Downtown Specific Plan in
2018 and two major grants totaling $40 million dollars through the State's Affordable Housing and

Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program. These mixed-use projects include a total of 161 residential
units which will fill the significant need for available housing opportunities in Downtown.
Downtown Redding remains an important area, even though it was bypassed by the construction of
Interstate 5, encouraging most new retail development to locate east of the river. Aii other major traffic
arteries converge downtown, which contributes to its viability. Recent efforts, including the Downtown
Specific Plan Update, redevelopment projects to improve the appearance and pedestrian orientation of
Downtown streets, the partial re-opening of the streets through Downtown demonstrate the community's
commitment to maintaining and enhancing the unique character of the heart of the community. The
development of the Turtle Bay Museum and Arboretum and the Turtle Bay Hotel and Restaurant by the
Sacramento River and the Civic Center will serve to emphasize the importance of the City's core area.
East Redding (Enterprise)
Development in the Enterprise area occurred almost entirely in the postwar years. Early subdivisions were
located along Old Highway 44 (now known as Cypress Avenue), Churn Creek Road, and Hartnell Avenue.
Subsequent development has taken place both to the north up to the new State Route 44 and to the south
into the Churn Creek Bottom area. The street pattern in some older residential areas is poor, with long,
dead-end streets and offset intersections. A lack of adequate subdivision regulations in the early days of
development permitted the creation of large, deep lots surrounded by smaller lots and hundreds of
landlocked parcels that can be reached only by private roads or by access drives across other properties.
This lot pattern makes further development very inefficient and difficult and necessitates providing new,
costly streets and infrastructure.
Like the residential areas, commercial development in the Enterprise area originally occurred in a
haphazard manner along Old Highway 44, Bechelli Lane, and Hartnell Avenue and at freeway
interchanges. Access to many stores in these locations is poor, and the nature of this strip-type
development—with each establishment having its own parking lot and driveway—precludes parking once
and visiting several businesses. The construction of Interstate 5 had a noticeable impact on commercial
growth at the north end of this area along Nilltop Drive and other easily accessible locations. Service
stations, motels, restaurants, and other uses that seek readily visible sites and easy freeway access can
be found in this area. This area continues to develop with commercial uses, which can now be found along
Churn Creek Road as well. Two overpasses across State Route 44 connect this area to the newly
expanding Dana Drive regional commercial hub and to an expanding residential area to the northeast.
Dana Drive and Northeast Redding
Following the construction of Interstate 5, a noticeable pattern of commercial development, together with
additional suburban residential growth, has occurred north of State Route 44 along Dana Drive. Additional
growth has also occurred along the northern extension of Churn Creek Road and eastward along Old
Alturas Road. Commercial development largely commenced with the Mt. Shasta Mall, which is located at
the northeast corner of Hilltop Drive and Dana Drive. Subsequent regional commercial development has
since spread eastward to Victor Avenue. In conjunction with commercial activities, residential development
flourished to the north on Churn Creek Road and to the east on Old Alturas Road. The Dana Drive Benefit
District and the Churn Creek Road Overcrossing Assessment District were formed in order to provide
infrastructure for this newly established regional commercial hub.
All the available vacant commercial land in this area has been predominately built out. In 2000, the City
saw the expansion of the Mt. Shasta Mall and again in 2020. The Mall expansion in 2000 spurred large
regional commercial-store developers to develop within the Dana Drive area. Vehicle traffic in this area

has increased significantly, which has necessitated the upgrade and improvement of the streets and
intersections, which included the State Route 44 west bound on ramp at Nilitop Drive and Dana Drive.
North Redding
Like Enterprise, the North Redding area, extending from Keswick Dam to Shasta College, includes a
scattering of residential and commercial development. Along North Market Street, formeriy Highway 99,
Redding's "Miracle Mile" is lined with a variety of motel, restaurant, retail, and auto-sales establishments.
Adjoining lowlands to the west have been developed with residential subdivisions and affordable housing
units. Lake Redding-Caldwell Park extends along the north bank of the river on each side of the railroad
trestle. This major recreation area has picnicking, playground, swimming, and other facilities.
Lake Boulevard is the main artery of the Buckeye area, a major portion of which was annexed to the City
in 1969. Strip commercial development is strung along Lake Boulevard, and there is scattered residential
development in the area. Landlocked parcels are common, with heavy dependence on private roads for
access. Mobile homes are a major residential type here, both in mobile home parks and on individual lots.
The pattern of small ownership and prevalence of mobile homes in some areas may tend to discourage
subdivision activity, particularly on the northern fringe of the Planning Area along Oasis Road.
South Redding
Much of the development of South Redding came after World War II, when subdivision activity expanded
into the lower elevations and along the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District Canal (ACID). Scattered
developments also sprang up in the Live Oak-Bonnyview(Cascade)area to the south and along ridge tops
in the southwestern part of the Planning Area. Also, to the south, the old principal traffic artery—Old
Highway 99 (now known as State Route 273)—became a commercial strip lined with an assortment of
motels, truck stops, and service stations; industrial and distribution establishments; and local retail
services. As a commercial gateway to the City, this area has largely become obsolete in design and
function.
Several recent residential developments have occurred in the area, including the Rivercrest Estates
Subdivision, as well as new developments south of Girvan Road. The latter developments have led to a
reduction in the pastoral setting that was until recently prevalent in the area.

7.0 RISK ASSESSMENT
The section identifies the hazards that might affect the City of Redding, profiles the major hazards,
assesses the risk of such hazards, describes the City's vulnerability, and estimates potential losses from
the hazards.
7.1 DMA 2000 Requirements
The overall DMA 2000 requirements for the risk assessment are shown in Table 7-1. The requirements
mandate that only natural disasters are addressed, however, the City has included the most significant
human-caused hazards in this plan.
Table 7-1
Risk Assessment—Overall
REQUIREMENT Local risk assessment must provide sufficient information to enable the
§201.6(c)(2) jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce
losses from identified hazards. This includes detailed descriptions of all the
hazards that could affect the jurisdiction, along with an analysis of the
jurisdiction's vulnerability to those hazards. Specific information about
numbers and types of structures, potential dollar losses, and an overall
description of land use trends in the jurisdiction must be included in this
analysis.
EXPLANATION The local risk assessment should identify what hazards are likely to affect
the area. The plan should describe the sources used to identify hazards,
noting any data limitations, and provide an explanation for eliminating any
hazards from consideration. The process for identifying hazards could
involve one or more of the following:
• Reviewing reports, plans, flood ordinances, and land use regulations
among others.
• Talking to experts from federal, state, and local agencies and
universities.
• Searching the Internet and newspapers.
• Interviewing long-time residents.
7.2 /dentify and Screen Hazards
The City of Redding HMPT identified several hazards that are addressed in the plan. These hazards
include natural and human-caused hazards that might affect persons and property in the City. The hazards
were ranked based on the initial analysis. Twelve hazards were found to be either a significant hazard or
less significant haZard and are ranked for hazard mitigation planning. These hazards were identified
through public input, researching past disasters, and risk assessments included in the City Emergency
Operations and General Plan.

7.3 Loss Estimation
FEMA requires that an estimation of loss be conducted for the identified hazards. Loss estimation was conducted on the identified significant
hazards (refer to Table 7-3). FEMA requires the "Vulnerability Analysis" to include the number of potential structures impacted by these
hazards and the total potential costs. These estimates were determined by utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) overlay analysis
software and tools. Existing GIS data layers, such as parcels, were overlaid with theoretical hazard boundary extents. Then, using GIS
overlay analysis software; items such as the number and value of structures affected by the hazard were calculated and reported.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
7.4 Wiidland Fire
7.4.1 Nature
Hills and mountains surround the westerly portion of the City of Redding, which is covered mostly with
grasses, brush, Manzanita, oak trees, and gray pines. The climate in this area is generally referred to as
"Mediterranean," with rainfall concentrated during the cool winter months. The rains usually cease
sometime in April and resume in November.
Summer drought causes vegetation to become extremely dry, and a regional weather phenomenon, the
northerly winds, can aggravate an already very hazardous fire situation. The hillside areas of the western
portion of the City have, therefore, been classified as a very high fire hazard severity zone. With extreme
dryness, relative humidity often 10 percent or less, high temperatures over 100 degrees, and 20 to 40 mph
winds, a wildfire can become uncontrolled, spreading through vegetative fuels and exposing and possibly
consuming structures.
The fires often begin unnoticed, spreading very quickly, and are usually signaled by dense smoke that fills
the air in the immediate area.
Wildfires are ignited 90 percent of the time by human action. Nationwide, humans cause an average of
60,567 fires each year. Over one-third of all wildland fires originate alongside roads and highways, many
as a result of equipment failure or smoking materials being thrown from passing automobiles. Despite the
rising penalties, approximately 22 percent of all fires recorded statewide result from an act of arson. Other
causes of wildfires include the following:
Over 20 percent of all wildfires that burn over 5,000 acres are caused by power-line failures. Wildfires can
also be ignited by sparks from off-road vehicles, construction equipment, and other power-driven
equipment used for residential or recreational purposes. In the developed areas, wildfires can start from
children playing with matches, unattended recreational fires, equipment use, and sparks from chimneys.
Natural causes, primarily lightning, have recently been attributed to causing the largest wildfire in California
history, the August Complex at 1,032,649 acres.
The following three factors contribute significantly to wildland fire behavior:
• Topography: As slope increases, the rate of wildland fire spread increases. South-facing slopes are
also subject to greater solar radiation, making them drier and thereby intensifying wildland fire
behavior. However, ridge tops may mark the end of wildland fire spread, since fire spreads more
slowly or may even be unable to spread downhill unless wind-driven.
• Fuel: Weight and volume are the two methods of classifying fuel, with volume also referred to fuel
loading (measured in tons of vegetation material per acre). Each fuel is assigned a burn index (the
estimated amount of potential energy released during a fire), an estimate of the effort required to
contain a wildfire and an expected flame length. The fuel's continuity is also an important factor, both
horizontally and vertically.
29
fA��p���
� ;:
U P�}
�
� 4Q
������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Weather: Variation on weather conditions has a significant effect on the occurrences and behavior of
wildfires. Short-term conditions, such as high heat, low humidity and high winds, facilitate the ignition
and rapid spread of fires. Conversely, cool temperatures, high humidity and little to no wind reduce
the risk of wildfires and allow fires to be contained more readily. Long-term conditions, such as
prolonged droughts, also play a major role in fire susceptibility.
Other factors increase the wildfire hazard. These include dense vegetation growth and large accumulation
of dead vegetative materials in areas that have not been mitigated or burned for many years. Steep terrain
compounds the wildfire risk because fires normally burn much faster uphill. Rugged terrain also hinders
fire-suppression attempts by hampering the mobility effectiveness of firefighters and equipment.
If not promptly controlled, wildland fires may grow into an emergency or disaster. Firestorms occur during
extreme weather with such intensity that fire suppression is virtually impossible. These events typically
burn until the conditions change or the fuel is exhausted. Even small fires can threaten lives and resources
and destroy improved properties.
It is also important to note that in addition to affecting people, wildland fires may severely affect livestock
and pets. Such events may require the emergency watering/feeding, sheltering, evacuation, and even
burying of animals.
7.4.2 Effects of Wildfires
Wildfires generally have the most impact on the natural environment. Although some ecosystems are
dependent upon recurrent fire to survive, these communities are unique. Watershed, wildlife, and
recreational areas are lost due to wildfire. After the fire has been extinguished, the burned land is laid bare
of its protective vegetation cover and is susceptible to excessive runoff and erosion. The fire will often
destroy the root system of shrubs and grasses that aid in stabilizing slope material. When the winter rains
come, the possibility of landslides and debris/mud flows are greatly increased.
The impacts of wildfire often strain public resources, including emergency response and utilities. Water
reserves are drawn down, power lines become disabled, telephone service can be disrupted, roads can
be blocked, etc. Flood-control facilities may be inadequate to handle the increased storm-runoff debris
from barren and burned hills.
Another impact of wildfire are the direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include the obvious suppression
costs of equipment and personnel, the destruction of property, roadways, infrastructure, and the following
costs of insurance claims.
Indirect costs include the loss of human life, degraded eco-systems, reduced air and water quality, wildlife
casualties and lost business and tax revenue. Indirectly, the effects of wildfire continue to impact the mental
or psychological quality of people who have experienced the effects of wildfire or from the loss of a loved
one or friend.
Integration of five fire determinants (human proximity, vegetation, access, slope, and wind direction) has
delineated two natural fire hazard potential zones for the City of Redding. Very high fire hazard severity
risk areas lie to the immediate west of central Redding and north and northeast Redding, with Manzanita,
30
fA��p���
� ;:
U P�}
�
� 4Q
������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
buck brush, and other highly combustible vegetation, along with steep 20 to 40 percent slope, and
somewhat limited access. The medium to low risk areas lie in the vicinity of developed property with grass
and scattered oak over more level to gentle (flat to 20 percent) slope and with available access. Areas not
threatened by fire risk are within developed areas with cultivated urban cover and available urban access.
Fire, extreme heat, and wind have the greatest impact on the delivery of power to Redding Electric Utility
customers. On July 26, 2018 the Carr fire exploded in size and entered the City of Redding causing
mandatory evacuations and power outages. The fire destroyed 266 homes in Redding and thousands of
Redding residents were evacuated from the westside of the city.
7.4.3 Wildland Urban Interface (WUI)
Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) fires are a significant hazard. In July of 2018, the Carr Fire in Shasta
County burned 229,651 acres, destroyed over 1604 structures, killed 8 people and caused an estimated
$1.659 billion in damages. In November of the same year,the Camp Fire;the deadliest wildfire in California
history, burned approximately 153,000 acres, destroyed over 18,800 structures, killed 85 people and
caused an estimated $16.65 billion in damages.
In general, wildfire is not a major threat in the flat, developed areas of Redding when adequate emergency
resources are available. However, fire is a major problem in the fringe-urban and hill areas on the west
side of Redding and those additional areas, approximately 39 percent, of the City that are identified as
very high fire severity zone. This increased risk is due primarily to a predominance of the north-facing
slopes that are characteristically more vegetated than those of the southern aspect. Within the west side,
the highest fire risk areas are located in the hilly populated regions. All major determinants of fire risk point
to this area as the most critical area for the City of Redding.
The City of Redding has numerous subdivisions on the west side of town which are built on ridge tops with
significant fuels with valleys and ravines in alignment with prevailing summer winds which results in a
significant fire risk to the community. This is further compounded by the hot, dry, and low humidity levels
experienced in Redding during the summer, along with wind events that can result in rapid fire growth and
spread.
Once a fire starts, it is influenced by several factors, including fuels, topography, weather, drought, and
development, along with the ability or inability to quickly access and contain the fire. The combined
conditions are key elements which affect the risk and potential severity of the fire.
The major risk involves loss of lives and property which lie in those developed areas identified as in the
very high fire severity zones. Here, property damage is not an uncommon occurrence. These interfacing
and transitional areas are constantly vulnerable. As development extends more and more into the areas
identified as very high fire severity zones, the situation becomes increasingly acute.
7.4.4 History
Within the last 20 years, there have been significant wildfires in Shasta County in which the City of Redding
is centrally oriented. These wildfires have killed 12 people, destroyed well over 3,500 structures, burned

In 2018 alone, a total of 194 wildfires burned over 234,649 acres of land in Shasta County and caused an
estimated $2,001,632,823.00 in damages, most of which was due to a single event, the Carr fire, the gtn
most destructive wildfire in California history.
The City of Redding experiences an average of 168 wildland type fires annually, as measured over a 10-
year period from 2011 to 2020. Excluding the Carr fire, wildfires cost an estimated $785,880.00 in
damages over the same period within the City.
7.4.5 Future Events
Given the topography, climate and vegetation on the west side of Redding, it is ripe and conducive to
having fast-spreading wildfires. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
and as shown on Shasta County's Fire Hazard Map, all the hillsides in west Redding are located within the
very high fire hazard severity zone, including areas to the north and east of town. The history of the wildfire
activity in Shasta County is traumatic, and we will continue to be faced with wildland fires that threaten
lives and property every summer.

������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
The wildland risk to the City of Redding can be attributed to three factors. The first are the ignition sources,
the second is the fuel loading, and the third is resources available to address fires. Mitigation must address
reducing the fuel-ignition sources, such as juveniles playing with matches and lighters in the open
vegetated areas, transient populations occupying areas within the urban interFace and utilizing fire,
educating the public on better abatement procedures when using mechanical equipment, and properly
disposing of cigarettes. The second is reducing the immediate fuel load surrounding the urbanized area
within and around the City of Redding on public and private property. The third is adequate staffing and
equipment for handling emergency incidents.
The risks associated with future events will continue to increase as the City sees development on
previously approved projects in the very high fire hazard severity zone and as new developments are
proposed and constructed.
7.4.6 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
In 2014, the Youth Firesetter Prevention and Intervention program (YFPI)was created. The YFPI program
is associated with the Youth Violence Prevention Council in partnership with the Shasta Arson Task Force.
Since its inception to date, the YFPI program has educated over 216 youth for a range of firesetting
behavior. Not only are the youth held accountable, but their siblings and parents are included in the
educational programs. In the five years since YFPI has been conducting annual educational academies, a
decline in the number of juvenile offenders has been realized.
For decades, the City has worked to abate hazardous fuels on public and private property in the very high
fire hazard severity zone, mostly around residential neighborhoods by providing defensible space and
shaded fuel breaks. These efforts have primarily been through contract work with private fuels reduction
companies, utilization of the California Conservation Corps (CCC)and by utilizing inmate hand crews from
Cal Fire. The City is also utilizing goats for grazing to reduce light fuels and available combustible
vegetation. The use of goats is a sustainable method of fuels reduction and also favorably garners the
public's attention on the subject of defensible space.
In 2019, the Redding City Council approved the Redding Electric Utility (REU) Wildfire Mitigation and
Improved Response Program which focusses on reducing risk to and from utility infrastructure and
increase emergency response to wildfire. Subject to the availability of funding and necessary staffing, fuel-
reduction mitigation must continue throughout the very high fire hazard severity zone on both public and
private lands.
The City also maintains an Emergency Operations Center to help coordinate information and resources
for any type of disaster or threat. Yearly ongoing training, updating of critical information, and drills are
conducted to help protect people and property.
All new subdivisions have been approved using the new General Plan regulations and Building and Fire
Code adoptions, including residential sprinkler requirements which help mitigate the spread of fire from a
residential fire incident to the WUI area. In addition, this may also include one or more of the following: (1)
adequate defensible space and development of landscape maintenance districts to maintain defensible
space, (2) utilizing noncombustible construction on the exterior, (3) providing two ways in and out, and (4)
meeting fire-flow requirements in accordance with the California Fire Code.

7.4.7 Vulnerability
The City of Redding has multiple scenarios in which wildfire could severely and aggressively impact homes
and structures in the very high fire hazard severity zone, primarily on the west and north sides of the City.
One such scenario of a potential wildfire in the north area effecting a single neighborhood, could destroy
131 or more structures and result in a conservative estimated loss of over$100,721,633 in direct property
damage. The fire in this scenario would only have to achieve less than 1,000 acres in size to create this
amount of destruction if emergency resources were drawn down and the weather conditions were ripe for
such an event.
7.4.8 Mitigations�
Goal 5: Reduce the possibility of property damage and life losses due to wildland fires.
Objective 5.A: Enforce Fire and Building Codes and the General Plan for the City of Redding, which will
minimize damage to homes and structures from wildland fires.
Action 5.A.1: Ensure that new subdivisions have adequate fire-protection measures, such as multiple
accesses for fire apparatus, noncombustible building construction, residential sprinkler
systems, appropriate defensible space, and street widths and grade to accommodate
emergency vehicles and evacuees simultaneously.
Action 5.A.2: Ensure that defensible space is being provided for all new and existing homes. Ensure
that roofing material is noncombustible on new homes and that wood shake roofs on
existing homes, when replaced, meet Code requirements for non-combustibility. Install
a spark-arresting system on chimneys of homes with wood-burning appliances.
Action 5.A.3: Continue the development of landscape maintenance districts for new developments to
fund ongoing fuel reduction and maintenance of defensible space.
Objective S.B: Educate the public about wildland fire dangers and the steps that can be taken to prevent
or minimize their effects.
Action 5.B.1: Ensure that the City provides sufficient resources for public education, wildland fire
mitigation and guidance, and emergency planning for the public, as funding becomes
available.

Flooding is an overflow of excess water from a stream, river, lake or reservoir, a piped or channeled
conveyance, or coastal body of water, onto adjacent floodplains. Flooding can also occur by the
accumulation of water in a natural or manmade depression where there normally is none.
Floodplains are lowlands, adjacent to water bodies that are subject to recurring floods. Floods are natural
events that are hazards only when people or property is affected. Floods occur in all 50 states and U.S.
territories,with an estimated 4 percent of the total area of the United States subject to a one percent annual
chance of flood (also known as the 100-year flood) [FEMA, 2001].
The amount of water in the floodpiain is a function of the size and topography of the contributing watershed,
the regional and local climate, and land use characteristics. Flooding in steep, mountainous areas is
usually confined, strikes with less warning time, and has a short duration, while larger rivers in flatter valley
and lowland areas typically have longer, more predictable flooding sequences and affect a broader
floodplain.
In the City of Redding, floods can be categorized into the following types of occurrences:
• River or stream flooding — includes channel or bank overFlows, flash floods, obstruction floods, and
dam overflows or failures.
• Local drainage — includes channel or bank overflows, flash floods, debris or obstruction floods, and
ponding in natural or manmade depressions.
• Fluctuating lake, reservoir, or pond levels — includes accumulations of water in lakes, reservoirs or
ponds, as well as in natural or manmade depressions that are normally dry or hold insignificant volumes
of water.
The City of Redding is partially bisected by the
Sacramento River. In addition, the following ` ��ti��`���� �4����= �,���;���� iz�4������,���'`� t�����

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
The FEMA 100-year floodplain for the above creeks and the Sacramento River total approximately
4,425 acres, or 6.9 square miles. This is approximately 11 percent of the City's land base.
The Sacramento River corridor occupies a relatively narrow and steep channel in the north, which begins
to broaden somewhat in the central Redding area and becomes a fairly broad farmland floodplain at the
southern limits of the City and beyond. The northern and western areas of the City are hilly, with well-
defined canyons and stream corridors. The eastern and southeastern sections of the City sit atop a plateau
above the Sacramento River, but are relatively flat with moderate to minor hills and broader, less defined
stream channels.
Flooding along the Sacramento River typically arises due to increased flows from Shasta Dam and Keswick
Dam. Shasta Dam regulates and controls mass storage of prolonged periods of rainfall from the rivers and
watersheds above the dam, including the Upper Sacramento River, the Pit River, Squaw Creek, and
numerous smaller creeks. Keswick Dam (immediately downstream from Shasta Dam) acts as an after-
bay to more finely regulate the flows directly into the river. These two dams act in concert to deliver precise
and well-regulated flows to the Sacramento River directly north of Redding. Local drainage flooding occurs
primarily due to infrequent, high-intensity rainfall events and to debris or obstructions.
7.5.2 Effects of Flooding
River flooding in the City of Redding generally causes no loss of person or property. River flood levels are
regulated and predictable. Advance notice of increased releases is sent to local agencies and the media,
usually with 12 or more hours' notice.
In order to maintain a safe level of storage capacity behind the dam and prevent an overtopping event,
regulators from the Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) routinely increase flows either during or following
large, intense or prolonged rainfall periods in the watershed. These flows are increased to help draw down
the lake to a safe level and typically stay below 35,000 cubic feet per second (cfs).There is no river flooding
in Redding at this release.
Approximately once a year, it is necessary for the Bureau to increase releases to approximately 53,000 cfs.
At this level, one street is closed and portions of two riverside parks and trails are closed due to minor
flooding. This also causes flooding below Redding and Shasta County, though it is mostly farmlands and
a few road closures at this level.
Approximately every five to seven years, the Bureau finds it necessary to increase flows to the maximum
safe release of 80,000 cfs. During these flows, several blocks of riverside roadway are closed due to
flooding, as are larger portions of the riverside parks and boat ramps. Flows greater than 80,000 cfs are
possible, but are highly unlikely due to the widespread flooding in the valley areas below Redding. Several
areas in Tehama and Colusa counties become inundated and several small communities in these areas
become flooded or isolated due to the river flow at this level.
Following the recession of flows greater than 53,000 cfs, streets are reopened and swept of silt and minor
debris. Riverside parks and trails are checked for erosion, cleaned of minor debris, and then reopened to
the public.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
Localized flooding from high-intensity rainfall events, of which there is a few each year, typically manifests
as flooded parking lots and ponding along some surface streets. Road closures are rare and water levels
recede quickly, leaving only minor cleanup of silt and debris.
Many of the local drainage channels are concrete-lined, but most are left"natural" per Department of Fish
and Wildlife permitting and regulations. These natural channels, with their increased natural vegetation,
can become clogged or obstructed, especially at roadway under-crossings, due to the vegetation breaking
away from the banks during periods of high flows.
Localized flooding from obstructions also takes place a few times each year. Typically, during prolonged
periods of rainfall with moderate to high intensity, these obstructions cause overflows in small channels
and ditches. Backyard flooding, including flooding the occasional swimming pool, as well as some street
flooding, can occur. Reports of minor flooding to garages and outbuildings, landscape erosion, and flooded
streets have occurred. Trash and other debris can also be found obstructing culvert and pipe openings
during even moderate flows in smaller channels. Vandalism can also lead to clogging or obstruction of
flows from pipe systems. The increased use of plastic pipe in storm-drain systems has led to vandals
building fires in the pipe openings, thus melting the pipe and causing it to sag into a closed or nearly closed
opening, creating an obstruction. This forces the water to either: back-up in the pipe until it reaches a
surFace street and creates localized flooding or ponding; or does not allow water into the pipe system,
which causes the upstream channel to overflow and flood adjoining properties. Storm Drain maintenance
crews respond quickly to calls of flooding, and locate and clear the obstructions. Water levels quickly
recede, but ponding may remain in some areas.
7.5.3 History
Prior to the building of Shasta Dam, the Sacramento River could reach flows in excess of 225,000 cfs [U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, 1942], flooding a portion of central Redding and much of south Redding. Since
the completion of the dam, flows have not exceeded 80,000 cfs and, as previously mentioned, damage is
typically limited to clean up of silt and minor debris.
Localized flooding occurs every year, causing very little damage and requiring cleanup and removal of silt
and debris. In 2009 and the early '90's, there were several events that were beyond normal.
In February 2019, the Redding area experienced a heavy rainstorm. Approximately 60 homes, including
the Safari Mobile Home Park, were evacuated in the south Redding area off Jewell Lane just west of
Highway 273 as the water rose to about 3 feet in the neighborhood. The heavy rains also caused a portion
of the roof at a local grocery store to collapse.
In December 2019, the south Redding area experience about an inch of rain in a one-hour period. This
resulted in pockets of flooding throughout the south Redding area. A stretch of South Market Street, a
major arterial, was temporarily shut down.
In March 2009, Redding downtown experienced more than four inches of rain in just three hours.
Neighborhoods were flooded, creeks overFlowed, and streets became rivers. An arterial road, Quartz Nill
Road, was closed due to a mudslide. A nursing home, a preschool, and some residents were evacuated.

Vehicles stalled in intersections and parked vehicles in an underground garage were moved by the flood
waters. The flood also caused the death of one person who fell into the Calaboose Creek canal.
In 1993, a small tributary along the Sacramento River in north Redding experienced what was later
calculated as a 50-year-storm event, causing rapid rise and fast flows along the channel, which had raised
banks. A tree along the bank of the channel, upstream of a double box-culvert, dislodged and flowed
downstream, becoming wedged in one of the culvert openings. The obstruction caused an overflow of the
channel into the adjoining residential neighborhood, flooding a dozen homes as the water followed the
path of least resistance to the river. About eight of the homes experienced garage flooding and damage to
equipment and personal property, while four homes suffered flooding within the main house, as well as
damage to personal property. The channel was subsequently widened, and an additional cell was added
to the double-box culvert in order to provide for a 100-year-storm event.
A series of flooding events beginning in 1985 and culminating in a lawsuit against the City in 1997 brought
attention to an ever-increasing problem along Clover Creek. Upstream development activity in both the
City and county, near the headwaters of Clover Creek and along Airport Road, increased peak flows during
periods of high intensity rainfall, causing flooding along Clover Creek in the Goodwater Avenue area below
Freeman Way. Many homes and outbuildings that had been constructed in pre-FEMA mapping years in
the floodway or floodplain of Clover Creek were affected, resulting in claims for property and personal
property damage. Flood mitigation resulted in the building of a regional detention facility immediately
upstream of the problem area. The Clover Creek Detention facility, now completed, is large enough to
handle current and future flows based on build out.
Repetitive Loss
The City of Redding has one property which has claimed flood damages for 2 separate events. This
property is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area along Boulder Creek. The property owner filed
claims in October 2009 and January 2016. In 2020, the City, following an extensive research and
inspection, determined the property damages were caused by: (1)the property sits about two inches below
the street elevation; (2)the insufficient storm drain facility which was constructed prior to the City annexing
this neighborhood into the City; (3) the overgrown vegetation within Boulder Creek; thereby reducing the
capacity for the creek to adequately convey water during heavy rains; and (4) the location of the
downspouts and compromised downspout extenders several contributing factors. During a heavy storm
event stormwater is forced over the rolled curbed towards the building's west side, which is diverted by the
building around to the south side and ultimately flows southwest towards the creek. To assist in mitigating
future losses on the property, the City, sends an annual letter to inform her of how the property owner and
adjacent property owners along that span of Boulder Creek can relieve the situation, along with things they
can do to prepare for flooding, and some permanent flood-protection measures they should consider.
7.5.4 Future Events
Floods and flooding are gauged by their size (width and depth of the affected area) and the probability of
occurrence. The size and depth of the floodplain area is computed using mathematical models of
precipitation, slope, runoff, soil type, and cross-section. Flood depths are calculated at intervals along a
stream or channel corridor and then mapped and interpolated between sections. This results in the
floodplain map.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
The probability of occurrence is expressed in a percentage of the chance of a flood of a specific extent
occurring in any given year. The most widely adopted design and regulatory standard for floods in the
United States is the one percent annual chance fiood, and this is the standard formally adopted by FEMA.
The one percent annual flood is also commoniy referred to as the "100-year flood," leading to the
misconception that it should occur only once every 100 years. In fact, a 100-year flood may occur in any
year, regardless of the time that has passed since the last one. It is the probability that smaller floods occur
more often than larger floods that compels the percentage.
Flood Probability Terms
�'/ootl'Occurrence/ntervals Percent Chance of Occurrence�I nnuall
10 ears 10.0%
50 ears 2.0%
100 ears 1.0%
500 ears 0.2%
7.5.5 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The City of Redding actively enforces the Building Code, General Plan, and Zoning Ordinance regulations
concerning development within the 100-year floodplain. Limiting development within the floodplain will help
safeguard routine future events from significant impacts. A map of the 100-year floodplain for the
Sacramento River and the major creeks cited above is included as Figure 6.
Since July 1996,the City of Redding has actively participated in FEMA's Community Rating System (CRS).
The City initially received a Class 9 rating. The following year, the City strengthened its overall Floodplain
Management Program and was upgraded to a Class 7 rating. In 2011, the City was successful in achieving
a Class 6 rating. The rating improvements have resulted in not only a cost savings to those citizens in
need of flood insurance but proactively decrease losses by managing development in the floodplain.
The City of Redding has participated in the Community Rating System (CRS) since 1996. The CRS is a
voluntary program for National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) participating communities. The goals of
the CRS are to reduce flood damages to insurable property, strengthen and support the insurance aspects
of the NFIP, and encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. The CRS has been
developed to provide incentives in the form of premium discounts for communities to go beyond the
minimum floodplain-management requirements to develop extra measures to provide protection from
flooding. The NFIP's CRS program ranks cities according to flood-awareness promotion and
implementation of flood-protection measures and rewards communities with reduced flood insurance
premiums. Modeled after the insurance industry's Community Fire Rating System, the CRS provides
insurance discounts in 5 percent increments for each 10 rating classes, with Class 1 being the highest. A
community accrues points to improve its CRS class rating and receive increasingly greater insurance rate
discounts through engaging in any of 18 creditable activities. Since the City of Redding's inception into
the CRS program, the City has continued to increase flood-protection measures and continues to increase
public awareness of the hazards of flooding. This has ultimately resulted in increasing the City's
"Community Rating"from the initial Class 9, giving residents a 5 percent discount in federal flood insurance
40

�

������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
premiums, to a Class 6, giving our residents a 20 percent discount in federal flood insurance premiums.
The City will continue to participate in the CRS program and consider additional CRS activities to further
reduce flood hazards and further promote flood hazard awareness.
Additionally, FEMA has updated and modernized the FIRMs nationwide through its Flood Map
Modernization effort and has undertaken a Flood Insurance Rate Map update for Shasta County as part
of this Map Modernization Program. After completing a re-evaluation of flood hazards in our community,
FEMA adopted the new "Digital" Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs) and has updated flood-insurance
rate zones and replaced the existing maps in Shasta County. These maps went into effect March 17,
2011, and are available for review at the Planning and Permit Center counters.
During FEMA's re-evaluation of flood hazards in our community, it was determined that the Olney Creek
Levee is not in compliant with current levee standards and could not be recognized as a protection
measure. Therefore, this resulted in additional properties and/or homes being placed in a special flood
hazard area. Efforts are being put forth to search out grants to fund the necessary studies required to
pursue certification of the Olney Creek Levee.
The City has also developed on-site retention policies relevant to all new construction. Once again, these
policies are a safeguard against peak-flow increases caused by development and the subsequent runoff
from impervious materials. Detention basins are designed to accommodate 100-year-storm runoff and
require no net increase in historic flows at the point of release.
The City of Redding is planning to update the Storm Drain Master Plan. When complete, this Master Plan
will identify key projects needed to minimize flooding and their costs. The plan will also address
development of regional detention policies and locations so as to minimize the impacts of future
development on existing streams and channels.
7.5.6 Vulnerability
The City of Redding's most probable vulnerability to flooding and flood damage is along the natural stream
corridors. Natural growth and vegetation along these corridors, combined with a 100-year event in the
watershed above a given location, would most likely cause localized flooding.
In 2008, a Regional Detention Feasibility Study was prepared for the Churn Creek Drainage Basin. The
goal of the study was to analyze the impact of regional detention with the Churn Creek Drainage Basin
and evaluate its effectiveness at reducing the number of detention basins within the City, as well as
reducing the number of proposed improvements listed in the 1992 Montgomery Watson Citywide Storm
Drain Master Plan. The Churn Creek Basin was the focus of this study, since it is the largest of the drainage
basins in the City. The study identified several areas of inundation within the Churn Creek Basin during a
100-year-storm event with an average depth of flooding, ranging from 1.0 feet to 3.4 feet. It was estimated
that 272 structures would be impacted with potential damages of$3,797,464.00.
A flooding scenario was run whereby a box culvert became obstructed because of a tree that dislodged
from a stream bank. This flood scenario would affect over 200 structures. Damage estimates are
approximately $2 million. (See Figure 7)

7.6 Severe Weather- Extreme Heat, Snow and Wind
7.6.1 Nature
Severe weather includes extreme heat, extreme cold, heavy snowfall, ice storms, winter storms, and/or
strong winds. Extreme heat may result in utility disruption and winter storms may result in other hazards
such as flooding, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, or extreme winds.
The Nazard Mitigation Team identified extreme heat, snowstorms and strong winds as the most likely
severe weather hazards based on history in the City of Redding.
Extreme Heat
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)defines extreme i�eat as summertime temperatures
that are much hotter and/ ar humid than average for a particular location at that time of fihe year. The
National Weather Service (NWS) defines a heat wave as a period of unusually hot weather that typically
lasts four or more days, with temperatures above the extreme heat threshold.
Extreme heat, like most other hazards of concern is a direct and secondary climate change impact that is
a global issue with local effects, and may pose a serious threat to the health and safety of residents.
Snow
NWS defines snow as a steady fall of snow for several hours or more. Heavy snow is defined as either
snowfall accumulating to 4 inches in depth in 12 hours or less, or snowfall accumulating to 6 inches or
more in depth in 24 hours or less.
Heavy snow can result in collapse of structures from the weight of the snow, downed trees or large
branches, power outages, flooding, and auto accidents. In addition, it can hamper emergency services
and recovery efforts.
Wind
Wind is commonly reported using terms such as fastest-mile wind speed and/or peak-gust wind speed.
The fastest-mile wind speed is defined at the highest wind speed measured at an altitude of 30 feet, in
open terrain, over a period of time that it takes for one mile of wind to pass by the anemometer, the
instrument used to measure wind speed.
The peak-gust wind speed is the highest wind speed measured over a period of 2 to 5 seconds. It is
approximately 20 percent larger than the fastest-mile wind speed. Therefore, a fastest-mile wind speed of
75 miles per hour (mph) would correspond to a peak-gust wind speed of approximately 90 mph. The
shorter the duration of ineasurement, the higher the wind speed due to the gust factor (i.e., the rapid
variation of wind speed in time).
High winds are defined as winds of 40 mph or greater lasting for one hour or longer, or wind gusts of
58 mph or greater. Hurricane-force winds are often referred to when sustained winds exceed 74 mph.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
High winds can result in damage to roofing materials; downed trees or large branches; power outages;
auto accidents; and the collapse of awnings, patio covers, and carports. The presence of downed trees
and branches can also hamper emergency services and recovery efforts.
Secondary impact— Utility Disruption
The City of Redding Electric Utility (REU) owns, operates, and maintains the City of Redding's electric
distribution system. REU is responsible for the production, procurement, and delivery of electric energy to
the customers primarily located within the Redding city limits. The major hazards facing the Utility are
natural disasters and energy-supply shortage.
The City of Redding also owns, operates, and maintains the City's water and wastewater systems. The
water utility produces more than 30 million gallons a day of treated surface water and in excess of 12 million
gallons a day of well water during peak summer demand.
The wastewater utility can currently treat 14 million gallons a day at the Stillwater treatment plant and
40 million gallons a day at the Clear Creek treatment plant during wet weather. However, during intense,
short-duration rainfall events, the plants can divert 12 and 100 million gallons a day, respectively, into their
overflow ponds. The major hazards facing the City's water and wastewater utilities are energy-supply
shortages, equipment failures, and peak storm-event capacity.
7.6.2 History
The City of Redding typically experiences severe weather during the months of June through September
and in the months of December and January. Period of extreme heat are a result of prevailing winds
typically blowing from the North, down the Klamath Mountain slopes into the northern valley. These winds
are warm and dry with compression as they descend towards the valley floor. The natural setting of the
City with mountains on all sides retains this warm and dry wind resulting in extreme temperatures. Storms
with strong southerly winds with or without heavy rain are relatively common during these months and
typically occur several times per year. Wind speeds of 40 to 50 mph and peak gusts up to 60 mph occur
with some regularity. On the other hand, snowstorms are not as common an occurrence for the City. It's
not unusual for the City to experience no measurable amounts of snow for several years in a row.
Extreme Heat
Redding routinely experiences the hottest summer temperatures anywhere in California north of the
Mojave Desert. The natural setting of the City with mountains on all sides creates a rugged backdrop and
walls it off from any tempering ocean influence. This condition of adiabatic warming where the dry heat
does not leave the system but tends to keep the nighttime temperatures in the 80s or the low 90s during
intense heat days leaves Redding extremely dry and prone to a serious risk of fire.
100 °F weather is common in Redding with the earliest recorded 100-degree weather day dating back to
May 4th 1893. Redding experienced record-setting high temperature of 118 °F in July 1988; a 117 °F in
June 2006 and in the most recent times 116 °F in August of 2021. Redding on an average experiences

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
twelve heat waves annually that threatens critical infrastructure, worsens air quality, affects public health
and a poses high risk of fire.
According to Cal-Adapt, California's database of climate information, Redding, under observed historical
data from 1975, experienced an average 29 days of extreme heat when a daily maximum temperature is
above 100 °F under a medium emissions scenario and an average 4 days of extreme heat when a daily
maximum temperature was above 107 °F under similar conditions. This however has changed dramatically
since 2005, as we experience an average of 50 days of extreme heat where a daily maximum temperature
is abave 100 °F and 12 days of extreme heat where a daily maximum temperature is over 107 °F annually
under medium emissions scenario.

Snow
According to newspaper reports, the largest one-day (unofficial) record for snowfall in Redding occurred
on New Year's Day in 1899, with more than 23 inches of snow.
The NWS official records, which began in 1893, indicate the largest one-day snowfall total at 16 inches,
two-day snowfall total at 20 inches, and maximum three-day snowfall total at 23 inches. The exact dates
of the NWS records are not known, but are likely to be from the City of Redding's most damaging
snowstorm on record, which began on December 22, 1968. In this event, several storms produced wet
snow that caused a number of roofs to collapse, most notably a drug store, bowling alley, billiard parlor,
roller rink, grocery store, wholesale-food warehouse, and the top of the main airplane hangar at Benton
Airpark. Other damage reported included the toppling or breaking of overloaded trees and large limbs and
metal awnings collapsing onto cars. Total damage was estimated at $3.2 million.
In December 1988, three different storm systems dumped a total of 17 inches of snow in Redding. On
New Year's Eve in 1992, an unexpected snowstorm caught Redding residents off guard, when 4 to 10
inches of snow fell. These events appear to have been mostly an inconvenience to City residents and
resulted in little damage.
In late December 2003, the City of Redding experienced its most damaging snowfall since 1968. Snow
began falling in the evening of December 28 and continued to do so steadily through the next morning.
While snow accumulations did vary significantly throughout the City, the north and west areas of the City
experienced the largest snowfall amounts of nearly 12 inches. There were a few industrial buildings that
experienced partial roof collapses, and several metal-roof carports collapsed at an apartment complex.
While the structural damage was much less than what had occurred in the 1968 snowstorm, there were a
significant number of downed trees, tree branches, and power lines and some auto accidents from this
storm. The tree damage occurred most commonly on large-canopy live oak trees that collected the heavy
snow on their leaf-laden branches. Unlike other oak trees common in the Redding area, live oaks do not
lose their leaves in the fall. Some of the fallen trees and/or limbs caused damage to residences while
many others fell into and blocked streets.
The City of Redding Electric Utility classified the December 2003 snowstorm as a 1 in 25-year event
(i.e., occurs once every 25 years). The storm event was logged between December 28, 2003, and January
2, 2004, and included the snowstorm and a windstorm that followed, with wind speeds in excess of 60
miles per hour. The storm events afFected 13,229 customers. The total direct cost to the Electric Utility
was reported as $328,500.
In February of 2018, the City of Redding experienced another snowfall event. This snowfall dropped 14
inches of snow in 12 hours on the night of February 12th. The storm caused significant problems for the
community. Downed trees and power lines caused power outages to over 20,000 residents. Fire Fighters
received over 330 emergency response calls in a 24-hour period compared to 30-50 in a normal 24 hr.
period. There were no reports of roofs collapsing because of the snow itself. However, there were
numerous buildings and cars damaged by falling trees. This storm damaged an extremely large number
of trees. Several thousand trees in the City alone. There were reports of 10 or more downed trees per mile
along some roadways hampering access on the roads.

Wind
According to the NWS, the highest recorded wind speeds in the City of Redding occurred in early
December 1995, when 60 mph (fastest-mile) and 85 mph peak gusts were measured. The Record
Searchlight reported that these hurricane-force winds knocked down fences, toppled trees and power
poles, tore roofing off houses,tipped a big rig in a parking lot, and caused damage at the Redding Municipal
Airport to 4 planes and 18 hangars. The storm also resulted in the death of a woman who was smothered
when a large oak tree fell through her mobile home and landed on the bed where she was sleeping. This
storm appears to have produced the strongest winds since 1877, when peak gusts were estimated to be
nearly 80 mph.
Many longtime Redding residents make comparisons between the December 1995 storm and what is
referred to as the Columbus Day Storm. On October 12, 1962, this storm blew into to California as a result
of tropical typhoon Frieda, apparently with wind gusts slightly less than the December 1995 storm. It too
caused damage to fences, roofs, trees, power poles, etc. throughout the City.
The most recent windy weather event occurred in the final days of 2014 which contributed to the death of
a woman who was trapped by a large gray pine that landed on a house. The wind gusts at the Redding
Airport peaked at 38 mph around 2 a.m. Wednesday, December 31, with sustained winds averaging 29
mph.
Hai1
According to the NWS, 2.5" tennis ball sized hail was reported at 10:00 p.m. on May 24, 2019.
The hail damaged cars and roofs of buildings. There were an estimated 13,000 homes that had
damage to their roofing as a result of the hail storm. Although the storm only lasted a few
minutes the amount of damage was significant and included vehicles, patio covers, skylights,
roofs and fences.
Secondary lmpact— Utility Disruption
Extended high temperatures throughout the State of California may impact the state's electrical grid during
extreme heat events. Energy-supply shortages in California also threaten the reliability to our customers.
Major causes can be attributed to wildfires and large-area electrical-grid disturbances. In 1996, Redding
was impacted by a West Coast power outage that caused the automatic load shedding of about 30 percent
of our customers for over 30 minutes. On February 13, 2019 the Redding area experienced an abnormally
heavy snowstorm, leaving many customers without power for a period of up to seven days. North state
fires and National Weather Service "Red Flag Warning days" issued due to high winds have increased
significantly over the past several years.
During severe storm events, spikes in turbidity could lead to the shutdown of Pump House No. 1. By having
an alternate to the pump house, the water delivery system is more reliable and allows more flexibility for
periodic inspection, maintenance, and repairs to be performed at the treatment plant.

������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
Based on the historical data, it is expected that the entire planning area, the City of Redding, wiii continue
to be equally at risk and experience severe weather, including extreme heat, high winds and heavy snow.
Extreme heat of temperatures over 1Q0 °F is expected to increase exponentially under medium emission
scenario stemming primarily from the higher frequency, more intense and longer heat waves resulting in
higher risks of heat strokes and dehydration. High winds with gusts up to 60 mph are anticipated to occur
on a fairly regular basis. While snowstorms that produce small amounts of snowfall accumulation may
occur slightly less often as storms that produce high winds, snowstorms that produce damaging amounts
of snowfall are expected to occur much less often (i.e., approximately once every 20 years).
7.6.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The City of Redding enforces the California Building Code (CBC) and the applicable sections of the CBC
that relate to snow-load and wind-load design. The current design criterion for the City of Redding is
30 pounds per square foot(psf) non-reducible snow load and wind loading based on 85 mph three-second-
gust wind speed with the appropriate exposure category for the site (i.e., Exposure B or Exposure C for
open and flat site conditions).
In the summer of 1969, as a direct result of the damage from the December 1968 snowstorm, the City
adopted a minimum design (roof)snow load of 30 pounds per square foot(psf)for all new structures. This
design snow load was based on the recommendations from a committee of local engineers, architects,
and building inspectors who investigated and studied the roof failures. Prior to the 1968 storm, there was
no snow load-design requirement.
The City does not have a number of structures that were constructed prior to the 30 psf snow load. The
current policy is that structures built prior to 1970 must undergo a snow-load analysis by a qualified design
professional (i.e., licensed engineer of architect) when that structure undergoes a change in use or
occupancy that results in the structure being placed in higher hazard occupancy group, as required by
CBC Chapter 34. Structures that are found to be structurally deficient are required to be upgraded to
support a 30 psf snow load.
To mitigate the impact of natural disasters, REU participates in a local Emergency Response group and
belongs to the California Utility Emergency Association (CUEA) through which has executed mutual aid
agreements with the other member California utilities. REU adheres to a comprehensive
system-maintenance and tree-trimming program in accordance with CPUC standards. In addition, Senate
Bill 901 required all utilities in California to prepare and submit a wildfire mitigation plan. On December 3,
2019 Redding City Council approved REU's Wildfire Mitigation Plan.
In regard to energy-supply mitigation, REU belongs to the Western Electricity Coordinating Council
(WECC). WECC is one of the nation's electric reliability organizations under the jurisdiction of the North
American Reliability Council (NERC). NERC sets the reliability standards for all electric utilities connected
to the Bulk Electric System. These standards govern the majority of REU's emergency procedures and
protocols relating to system operation, stability, and reliability. In addition to meeting NERC standards,
REU has taken additional measures to mitigate energy-supply shortages, such as installing local power
generation, participating in regional emergency reserve groups, and installing emergency "off-system"
generators. REU maintains the following emergency plans:

Wet U�ilities
To mitigate the impact of utility disruption, the City of Redding's water and wastewater facilities are
equipped with redundant power supplies, diesel generators, and back-up portable pumps. Some
generators are at permanent locations, while others are portable, providing flexibility in operations. The
City adheres to a comprehensive system-and facility-maintenance schedule. Generators at Foothill & PH1
will be installed as part of a FEMA/CA� OES grant awarded in 2020.
The City is currently in the process of evaluating and updating its water and wastewater models to better
assess required facility improvements. These improvement recommendations establish what is required
now and, in the future, with projected population growth.
The City also has emergency pumping plans when flows exceed the capacity of strategic wastewater lift
stations.
7.6.5 Vulnerability
Extreme Heat
Extreme heat events can be further exacerbated by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. Urban Heat Island
is any large urban area that often experiences higher temperatures, greater pollution, and negative health
impacts during hot summer months. This phenomenon is created by a combination of heat-absorptive
surFaces, heat-generating activities and the absence of vegetation resulting in warmer nighttime
temperatures, worsened air quality in urban environments leading to heat-related illness and fatalities.
Vegetation helps mitigate the UHI effect through evaporative cooling. Urban tree cover (urban forests),
parks, green roofs and walls essentially are ideal solutions to UHI effect that not just reduce temperature,
but also provide shade and improve air quality during heat events. The technological advancements
currently available includes, cool roofs, cool pavements (light colored materials that reflect, rather than
absorb solar energy) and heat reflective paints that considerably reduce surFace temperatures.
• Public Health: Impacts include cardiovascular stress, premature death, dehydration, sunburns,
skin rashes and heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and kidney stones.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Fire: Excessive heat decreases the moisture content in the environment, increasing its
flammability, the length and severity of wildfire.
• Utility disruption: Damage to critical infrastructure: Extreme heat can lead to power outages as
people rely heavily on air-conditioning and other indoor cooling systems. This can overwhelm the
power grid, leading to service disruptions, adversely affecting people who rely on electricity for
critical functions and medical services.
• Air quality: Extreme heat contributes to the formation of ground level ozone that is extremely
harmful to human health. This in the form of smog, combined with other secondary pollutants such
as automobile and industrial emissions chemically react in the presence of heat and sunlight, to
form compounds that worsen air quality leading to health-related risks. Smog, also tends to stay
longer increasing community exposure to pneumonia, asthma, allergic rhinitis, respiratory
diseases, leading to premature death amongst seniors, children, and infants that are susceptible
to experiencing these impacts.
Snow
When winter snow storms occur, they will affect the entire community's population. Power outages from
snow fall alone are rare, unless freezing rain has accompanied the snow fall. The City has snow-clearing
equipment to plow non-state roads. This mitigates car accidents as drivers with little winter driving
experience will tend to drive too fast and brake too quickly, therefore relieving the strain on emergency
services. Additionally, snow fall means lower temperatures which tend to mean more structure fires
created by using unsafe heating methods. In large snow falls, businesses may suffer because of the
inability of employees to get to work because of road conditions. This generally lasts for a day.
Homeowners are often not prepared for the cold weather associated with snow fall which means that water
pipes often break. Snow fall typically does not have as significant an impact on the total population of the
City as high winds.
Wind
When wind storms occur, it will affect the entire population. The first effect will be power loss to the
residences and businesses. Power will be interrupted by downed lines as a result of trees blowing over or
branches falling onto lines. The City of Redding Electric Utility have been proactive by implementing
mitigation programs that cut back tree branches in compliance with the California State Public Utility
Commission (CPUC)tree-trimming clearance standards that were established in January 1997. This helps
tree limbs from falling onto the lines. Debris such as fallen branches in the road
causes driving hazards for the public and emergency service personnel. Debris clearing becomes a top
priority for the City after high wind storms.
Hail
Unlike the snow and the wind, hail storms are typically unpredictable and usually only affect an isolated
area of the population. Damage mostly occurs to structures and vehicle but there could be injuries to
humans and livestock. Accumulation of hail on the roadways can causes driving hazards for the public and
emergency service personnel. Clearing or road closures becomes a high priority for the City.

7.7 Earthquakes
7.7.1 Nature
A fault is a thin layer of crushed rock between two blocks of the earth's crust that have moved relative to
one another. A fault can range in length from a few centimeters to thousands of miles.
An earthquake is the shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground
movement along a fault plane and less frequently from volcanic activity. Earthquakes occur when forces
underground cause the fault to rupture and suddenly slip. This occurs when the stress buildup at the fault
exceeds the strength of rock resisting the movement.
Two of the most common methods to describe an earthquake are by intensity and magnitude. Intensity
and magnitude measure different characteristics of earthquakes.
Intensity
Intensity is a measure of the strength of shaking experienced in an earthquake at a particular location. The
intensity scale used in the United States is the Modified Mercalli (MM) intensity scale, which represents
the local effect or damage caused by an earthquake (see Table 7-5). This scale, composed of 12
increasing levels of intensity that range from imperceptible shaking to catastrophic destruction, is
designated by Roman numerals (I through XII). The lower numbers of the intensity scale generally deal
with the manner in which the earthquake is felt by people. The higher numbers of the scale are based on
observed structural damage. The maximum observed intensity generally occurs near the earthquake
epicenter, and the intensity generally decreases away from the epicenter.
Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. The Modified Mercalli
intensity value assigned to a specific site after an earthquake has a more meaningful measure of severity
to the general public than the earthquake magnitude, because intensity refers to the observed effects and
damage actually experienced at that location. For example, an earthquake of intensity MM ll would barely
be felt by people favorably situated, while intensity MM X would produce heavy damage, especially to
unreinforced masonry structures.
Local geologic conditions strongly influence the intensity of an earthquake. Commonly, sites on soft ground
or alluvium may have intensities 2 to 3 units higher than sites on bedrock.
Magnitude
Magnitude is a measure of the size of the earthquake and energy released at the source of the earthquake
where the fault slip has occurred. Magnitude is determined from measurements on seismographs which
record the ground motion from the earthquake.
Magnitude scales, like the Richter (local) magnitude and moment magnitude, measure the size of the
earthquake at its source. Thus, they do not depend on where the measurement of the earthquake is

made. Earthquakes below magnitude M2.5 are generally not felt by people. Table 7-6 represents the
approximate Modified Mercalli intensity near the epicenter of the earthquake versus the earthquake
magnitude.

Seismic Hazards
The primary seismic hazard is ground shaking caused by the earthquake and resulting seismic waves.
Ground shaking is most often reported as peak ground acceleration (PGA) which represents the largest
ground acceleration recorded by a particular station during an earthquake. PGA may be given in various
acceleration units but is most commonly reported as a percentage(or fraction)of the acceleration of gravity
(i.e. "g"). Table 7-7 represents the approximate relationship between the Modified Mercalli intensity and
PGA, as a percentage of"g".

Secondary hazards include surface faulting, liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis. Surface faulting is
displacement that reaches the earth's surface during slip along a fault. �iquefaction is the process by
which water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid.
7.7.2 History
Shasta County has a low level of historic seismic activity. In the past 120 years, there has been no
significant property damage or loss of life due to earthquakes occurring within or near the county.
Maximum recorded intensities have reached MM Vll, with possibly one instance of MM Vlll. Most of the
stronger intensity seismic activity in Shasta County has occurred in the eastern half of the county near
Lassen Peak.
The City of Redding is located in the less seismically active western half of Shasta County, referred to as
an area of "moderate seismicity." Earthquake activity has not been a serious hazard in the City of
Redding's history, nor is it probable that it will become a serious hazard in the future.
Research of historical earthquakes indicates that Redding has experienced several moderate-sized
earthquakes, magnitude 4.0 to 4.5 (estimated) in 1904, 1915, 1919, 1920 and 1930.
On November 26 (Thanksgiving Day), 1998, the City of Redding experienced a local magnitude M� 5.2
earthquake that was centered three miles north-northwest of Redding near Keswick Dam. This was the
largest recorded earthquake since the U.S. Geological Survey began monitoring Shasta County in 1981
and was believed to be the largest earthquake in the Redding area since 1878. No structural damage was

reported in the City of Redding. Nonstructural damage that was reported consisted of broken merchandise
at a liquor store, grocery store, and drug store; loss of power at a grocery store due to a damaged electrical
panel; a fire sprinkler break causing damage in a mechanical room and two operating rooms at Mercy
Medical Center; and nonstructural cracks at expansion joints in a highway overpass. Outside the city
limits, a 4-million-gallon water tank in Bella Vista lifted about an inch off its foundation, resulting in bent
anchor bolt washers; and a PG&E transformer caught fire in Corning, resulting in a temporary power outage
for 7,500 customers.
The only reported earthquake injury occurred in the City of Shasta Lake when a woman slipped and fell in
a grocery store. She was later admitted to Mercy Medical Center for X-rays.
7.7.3 Future Events
Ground Shaking
The City of Redding is assigned to Seismic Design Category D per the 2019 California Building Code. The
City of Redding, in its entirely, would be at a relatively low risk of exposure to strong seismic shaking. The
maximum earthquake intensity is expected to be between MM Vl& MM Vll(see Table 7-5).
According to the California Department of Conservation — Division of Mines and Geology (DMG), seismic
hazard mapping indicates approximate probabilistic peak-ground accelerations (PGA)of 16%g, 18%g, and
22%g on firm rock, soft rock, and alluvium site soil categories, respectively. These ground accelerations
correspond to the earthquake that has a 10 percent probability of being exceeded in 50 years, or the
earthquake that has a return interval of 475 years.
Surface Faulting
There are no fault-rupture hazard zones within the City of Redding, as defined by the Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Act. Therefore, surface fault rupture is not considered to be a significant hazard.
Ground Failure
Based on the low to moderate expected PGA and the geology and the topography within the City of
Redding, seismically induced land sliding and/or liquefaction are not considered significant hazards.
7.7.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
Damage in Redding resulting from earthquakes would most likely be from ground shaking and less likely
from related ground failure. The effects of ground shaking are best mitigated by adequate design
for the maximum probable earthquake for the City of Redding. The effects of ground failure are best
mitigated by adequate geotechnical investigations of specific sites.
The City of Redding enforces the California Building Code, which establishes building requirements for all
new structures based on predicted earthquake intensities. The risk of loss of life and property damage due
to seismic activity is assumed to be minimized if the California Building Code is enforced. The Seismic

Hazards Assessment for the City of Redding states "... the UBC(Uniform Building Code)generally provides
conservative ground motion criteria for the design of new buildings and structures... the probability is small
thaf the UBC (design standardJ will be exceeded." ** However, the Assessment also states that some
structures on alluvial deposits and soft rock couid experience peak horizontal accelerations greater than
those anticipated in the UBC and, therefore, recommends that site-specific seismic hazard evaluations be
performed for critical facilities.
The Seismic Hazards Assessment for the City of Redding also includes maps of the potential liquefaction
areas within the City's sphere of influence. The Assessment recommends that where areas of liquefaction
potential are anticipated, site-specific investigations regarding liquefaction potential should be made.
Plan review of building permit applications are provided through the Building Division of the Development
Services Department. The Building Division currently consists of 18 staff inembers: a Building
Official/Assistant Development Services Director,a supervising building inspector,four building inspectors,
three plan examiners, one senior plans examiner, one plan check engineers, three Code Enforcement
officers, three development services techs, and one administrative assistant. All the building inspectors
and plan checkers are certified by the International Code Council (ICC). In addition to the ICC
certifications, the plan check engineer holds a license as a California structural engineer. As compared to
otherjurisdictions north of Sacramento, the City of Redding has long had a reputation of having one of the
most thorough building plan-check processes intended to safeguard life, limb, and property as stated in
the California Building Code.
7.7.5 Vulnerability
The City of Redding recently ran an earthquake scenario based on an expected peak-ground acceleration
(PGA)of 18%g over the entire City (See Figure 11). Building Damage Ratios were estimated at 6 percent
for older structures located in the immediate downtown area of the City and 3 percent for all other areas
within the City. The Building Damage Ratio represents an estimate of the ratio, as a percentage, of the
repair cost divided by the replacement cost. The higher damage ratio in the downtown area was chosen,
since these structures are typically older and less likely to have been constructed with any seismic code-
design provisions (i.e., pre-seismic-code buildings). The total damage is estimated at $303 million for the
City as a whole (see Table 7-8), which is less than 2 percent of the damage estimates from the 1994
Northridge earthquake which was$20 billion, making it one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
Footnote ** The Seismic Hazard Assessment for The City of Redding was conducted in 1995 under the
Uniform Building Codes. Redding was located in Seismic Zone 3 under the UBC. We are now
using the lnternational Building Codes. Redding is now located in Seismic Design Category D. This shift
in code terminology does not have any other effect or change to the information presented in the 1995
report nor has there been any significant seismic events since the publishing of this report that would alter
the outcome or findings within.

7.8 Hazardous Material
7.8.1 Nature
Nazardous materials (Hazmat) may include hundreds of substances that pose a significant risk to humans.
These substances may be highly toxic, reactive, corrosive, flammable, radioactive, or infectious. They are
present in nearly every community in the U.S., where they may be manufactured, used, stored,
transported, or disposed of. Because of their nearly ubiquitous presence, there are hundreds of Hazmat
release events annually in the U.S. that contaminate air, soil, and groundwater resources, potentially
triggering millions of dollars in clean-up costs, human and wildlife injuries, and occasionally human deaths
(FEMA, 1997).
The City of Redding Clear Creek and Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plants store and utilize chlorine gas
to disinfect wastewater and then neutralize the chlorine with sulfur dioxide gas prior to reclaimed water
discharge into the Sacramento River, in accordance with NPDES permits from the California Central Valley
Regional Water Quality Control Board. Chlorine and sulfur dioxide are both DOT Class 2.3 poison gases.
The City of Redding Foothill and Water Treatment Plants utilize chlorine gas to disinfect and treat water
prior to distribution into the water system.
Hazardous material releases may occur from any of the following:
• Fixed site facilities (e.g., refineries, chemical plants, storage facilities, manufacturing, warehouses,
wastewater treatment plants, swimming pools, dry cleaners, automotive sales/repair, gas stations, etc.)
• Highway and rail transportation (e.g., tanker trucks, chemical trucks, railroad tankers)
• Air transportation (e.g., cargo packages)
• Pipeline transportation (liquid petroleum, natural gas, other chemicals)
In response to concerns over the environmental and safety hazards posed by the storage and handling of
toxic chemicals in the U.S., Congress passed the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act
(EPCRA) in 1986. These concerns were triggered by the 1984 disaster in Bhopal, India, in which more
than 2,000 people died or were seriously injured from the accidental release of inethyl isocyanine from an
American-owned Union Carbide plant. To reduce the likelihood of such a disaster in the U.S., EPCRA
established specific requirements on federal, state, and local governments; Indian tribes; and industries to
plan for hazardous-materials emergencies.
EPCRA's Community Right-to-Know provisions help increase the public's knowledge and access to
information on chemicals at individual facilities, their uses, and releases into the environment. States and
communities working with facilities can use the information to improve chemical safety and protect public
health and the environment (EPA, May 2003). Under EPCRA, hazardous materials must be
reported to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), even if they do not result in human exposure.
Such releases may include the following:
62
fA��p���
� ;:
U P�}
�
� 4Q
������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Air emissions (e.g., pressure-relief valves, smokestacks, broken pipes, water or ground emissions with
vapors).
• Discharges into bodies of water(e.g., outflows to sewers, spills on land,water runoff, and contaminated
groundwater).
• Discharges onto land.
• Solid waste disposals in on-site landfills.
• Transfer of wastewater to public sewage plants.
• Transfers of waste to off-site facilities for treatment or storage.
In addition to accidental human-caused hazardous material events, natural hazards may cause the release
of hazardous materials and complicate response activities. The impact of earthquakes on fixed facilities
may be particularly bad due to the impairment of the physical integrity or even failure of containment
facilities. The threat of any hazardous material event may be magnified due to restricted access, reduced
fire suppression and spill containment, and even complete cut-off of response personnel and equipment.
In addition, the risk of terrorism involving hazardous materials is considered a major threat due to the
location of hazardous-material facilities and transport routes throughout communities and the frequently
limited anti-terrorism security at these facilities.
In the event of accidental releases of chlorine or sulfur dioxide gases at the wastewater and/or water
treatment plants, the plant staff as well as the surrounding citizenry should be evacuated. Initial evacuation
is suggested at 0.2 mile in all directions for a small release, and then expanding downwind and downhill
for 2 miles for larger releases.
Due to the high level of risk posed by hazardous materials, numerous federal, state, and local agencies
are involved in their regulation, including the EPA, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), FEMA, U.S. Army, and the International Maritime Organization.
Unless exempted, facilities that use, manufacture, or store hazardous materials in the U.S. fall under the
regulatory requirements of EPCRA, enacted as Title III of the federal Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) 42 U.S.C. §§11001-11050 (1988)). EPCRA has four major provisions:
• Emergency Planning (Sections 301-303) is designed to help communities prepare for, and respond to,
emergencies involving hazardous substances. It requires every community in the United States to be
part of a comprehensive emergency response plan.
• The Governor of California has designated a State Emergency Response Commission (SERC)
responsible for implementing EPCRA provisions within California. The SERC oversees Local
Emergency Planning Committee (�EPC) districts. Emergency Release Notification (Section 304)
includes a list of chemicals that if spilled must be reported, including Extremely Hazardous Substances
(EHS). The SERC supervises and coordinates activities of each LEPC, establishes procedures for
63
fA��p���
� ;:
U P�}
�
� 4Q
������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
receiving and processing public requests for information collected under EPCRA and reviews LEPC
developed local emergency response plans. Facilities with an EHS at quantities exceeding the
Threshold Planning Quantities (TPQ) must notify the SERC and LEPC and provide a representative to
participate in the county emergency planning process.
• Hazardous chemical storage reporting requirements (Sections 311-312) that require facilities
possessing a threshold reporting quantity of a hazardous material under EPCRA (Section 311/312, 40
CFR Part 370) to submit an annual chemical inventory report (Tier II Hazardous Chemical Inventory
Form) to the SERC, �EPC and local fire department.
• Toxic chemical release inventory (Section 313). Of the hundreds of hazardous materials under the
EPCRA regulatory scheme, those hazardous materials that pose the greatest risk for causing
catastrophic emergencies are identified as an EHS.As noted above,the presence of EHSs in quantities
at or above TPQ require additional emergency planning and mitigation activities. These chemicals are
identified by the US EPA in the List of Lists— Consolidated List of Chemicals Subject to the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) and Section 912 of the Clean Air Act (EPA,
October 2001).
Releases of EHSs can occur during transport and from fixed facilities. Transportation related releases are
generally more troublesome because they may occur anywhere, including close to human populations,
critical facilities, or sensitive environmental areas. Transportation-related EHS releases are also more
difficult to mitigate due to the variability of locations and distance from response resources. It should be
noted that while comprehensive and readily accessible information is available on hazardous material
release and facilities subject to EPCRA, there are numerous other sources of information on hazardous
material facilities and incidents that are beyond the scope of this plan. A more in-depth analysis of potential
hazardous material events would include the following:
• Risk Management Plan (RMP)facilities.
• Tier II Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form facilities.
• Toxic Release Inventory (TRI)facilities.
• Pipelines and related facilities.
• Railroad transportation facilities.
• Explosive storage, sales, use, and manufacturing facilities.
• Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP) Permit and Nazardous Materials Inventory Statement
(HMIS) facilities.
• Hazardous waste facilities (RCRA information and RMS databases).
• National Response Center Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS).

7.8.2 History
Some of the worst hazardous material events have occurred outside the U.S., such the 1984 incident in
Bhopal, India. Within the U.S., the National Response Center (NRC) reported that an average of
280 hazardous material releases and spills occurred at fixed sites annually during the period 1987-1990.
The US Department of Transportation reported an average of 6,774 hazardous material events annually
during the period 1982-1991, with highways accounting for 81.4 percent, railroads 14.7 percent, and other
events 6.6 percent.Additionally, highway transportation hazardous material events have caused more than
100 deaths, 2,800 injuries, and $22.4 million in damages (FEMA, 1997).
Hazmat releases are a major concern for the City of Redding and surrounding communities in Shasta
County. Local records show a number of hazardous material events within the City. In the past five years,
there have been seven major Hazardous Materials Incident Responses. The incidents range from two
drums of unknown substance in 2004 to a 1000-gallon gasoline spill at Churn Creek Road and Dana Drive
in 1999.
One significant release of chlorine gas occurred at the Clear Creek Plant during the 1970s, where the City
Fire Department responded and isolated the container. Since that time, only minor releases have occurred
once every few years, which were corrected immediately by the on-site maintenance staff.
In 2004, the City of Redding responded to 140 hazardous materials incidents of varying degree. While
many of the incidents have been handled at the first-responder level, several required the Shasta-Cascade
Hazardous Materials Response Team (SCHMRT) to assist in mitigating the hazard.

7.8.3 Future Events
In California, the majority of hazardous materials incidents are handled prior to becoming a disaster.
Nevertheless, the City's emergency organization needs to be flexibie and evolutionary in its response to a
developing incident in order to accommodate both the large number of relatively routine minor releases to
truly disastrous hazardous materials releases. The City is considered by most to be rural in nature and
therefore, does not include large industrial facilities which house or manufacture large quantities of
hazardous materials that could potentially cause a devastating release.
Comprehensive information on the probability and magnitude of hazardous material events across all types
of sources (e.g., fixed facility, transport vehicle) is not available. Wide variations in the characteristics of
hazardous material sources and between the materials themselves make such an evaluation very difficult.
The US Department of Transportation's Hazardous � � °'��' �°" ��=�r������ ,
�3 1 1�9� ,....
Materials Transportation Program is one of the r���=����� ��� �������,�, ��� � � ��
most advanced probability and magnitude
estimation programs. The program collects
information on unintentional releases of hazardous
materials, including the consequences, and
analyzes them. One of the major efforts of the � <� �
program is to identify low-probability, high-
consequence events (which may not be apparent
from incident data) and to provide appropriate
levels of protection (DOT, September 2003).
Areas of concern in the City of Redding are the
Union Pacific Railroad and Interstate 5, which are
major interstate transportation routes that pass
through our community. In addition, State Routes
44, 273, and 299 East and West support relatively
high traffic volumes. Trains and trucks commonly Union Pacific Bridge over the Sacramento River
carry a variety of hazardous materials, including
gasoline and various crude-oil derivatives and other chemicals known to cause human health problems.
66
fA��p���

������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
The City is exposed to the effects of a major catastrophic hazardous material emergency due to the
proximity of these transportation routes to densely populated areas of the City. However, when properly
contained, these materials present no hazard to the community.
But in the event of an accident or derailment, such materiais may be released, either in solid, liquid, or gas
form. In the case of some chemicals (such as chlorine), highly toxic fumes may be carried far from the
accident site. Although standard accident and hazardous materials recovery procedures are enforced by
the state and followed by private transportation companies, the City of Redding is at relatively high risk
because of its location along interstate, rail, and highway corridors.
Storing and handling hazardous materials always presents a potential danger for releases that would affect
the wastewater treatment plant staff and the surrounding citizens. Accidents by staff or the supplier,
equipment failure, vandalism, terrorism, or natural disasters such as earthquakes and catastrophic floods
could initiate the uncontrolled release of chlorine or sulfur dioxide gases from the treatment plants. Due
to the long history of only minor problems with these systems and the extensive staff training noted below,
there is only a small chance of accidental releases that are not corrected immediately so as to affect the
off-site citizenry.
Informal surveys conducted by the Shasta County Office of Emergency Services, Shasta County
Environmental Health, and the Redding Fire Department have indicated the presence of the following
classifications of hazardous materials: explosives, poisons, corrosives, flammable liquids, combustible
liquids, cryogenics, compressed gases (flammable and nonflammable), radioactive materials, and
oxidizers. Large pressurized natural gas pipelines traverse the City. Three large propane facilities are
located in the City. Other small, fixed facilities have varying uses of hazardous chemicals, but in general
these do not pose a significant risk to the City. Air transportation of hazardous materials involves the
smallest quantity, but still poses a potential hazard.
While it is beyond the scope of this plan to evaluate the probability and magnitude of hazardous material
events in the City of Redding in detail, it is possible to determine the exposure of population, buildings, and
critical facilities should such an event occur. Of the facilities that were required to file an annual Tier II
Material Inventory Report (under EPCRA) in Shasta County because of the presence of hazardous
materials, six were identified as having Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS). The general locations of
these facilities are shown on Figure 9. The substances recorded at these facilities include common
hazardous substances, such as chlorine, sulfur dioxide, anhydrous ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, ethylene
oxide, large amounts of sulfuric acid, etc. EHSs pose the greatest risk for causing catastrophic
emergencies. Therefore, facilities with EHSs are considered a greater threat than situations where non-
EHSs are involved. The list provided for this report does not include an additional 42 facilities in the City
of Redding that have quantities of sulfuric acid (an EHS) in new and used batteries, nor the sixteen City of
Redding sites that have Chlorine Gas, Ammonia and/or small amounts of Sulfuric Acid.
7.8.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The Redding Fire Department responds to spills, leaks, and releases of hazardous materials in the entire
City service area. The goal of hazardous materials (hazmat) response is to protect life, the environment,
and property from the damaging effects that can occur from the unplanned release of such materials.
67

������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
All Redding Fire Department personnel are trained, at minimum, to the level of Hazardous Materials First
Responder, which allows them to take defensive action at hazmat incidents. Additional personnel are
trained to the higher levels of Nazardous Materials Technician and Hazardous Materials Specialist.
Individuals trained to these levels are able to implement offensive control measures at hazmat incidents.
Other City of Redding departments have undergone hazardous materials training and respond as needed
to assist in incident mitigation.
Members of the Redding Fire Department who are trained and certified to the level of Technician and
Specialist are eligible to participate on the regional Nazmat Team. The SCNMRT Team is a multiagency
team based in Shasta County that serves the counties of Shasta, Tehama, Trinity, Siskiyou, Lassen, and
Modoc. Members from participating agencies train together every month and can respond to emergencies
involving hazardous materials, such as poisons, radioactive materials, corrosives, compressed gases, and
oxidizer releases.
SCHMRT has been able to acquire additional equipment in the last year, thanks in large part to grants
from the Office of Domestic Preparedness and Homeland Security Administration. Such equipment has
expanded the Team's capability to handle incidents involving chemical, biological, and radioactive
weapons. One such grant recently purchased a new response vehicle with an on-board field laboratory.
SCHMRT pursues cost recovery from individuals and agencies deemed responsible for causing a spill,
leak, or release of hazardous materials. In the event the responsible party cannot be located, the
municipality in which the incident occurred is billed for the cost of mitigating the hazard. Because the
Redding Fire Department is a part of the regional hazmat team, the City of Redding does not incur those
costs, which can easily exceed $10,000 per incident.
Continued involvement in SCHMRT is invaluable in our efforts to control and mitigate hazardous materials
incidents. The costs of participating on the team are a small price, considering the costs associated with
hiring an outside firm to respond to each incident in the City of Redding.
With regard to the treatment plants, all facilities have undergone the development of Risk Management
Plans that document the preventive and mitigation measures in place, as well as Vulnerability
Assessments that document any system weaknesses to vandalism and terrorism activities.
All facilities have continuous monitoring security alarms and gas-leak detection. Staff is trained to safely
handle chlorine and sulfur dioxide, to maintain the equipment in a reliable manner and to direct safe
procedures by suppliers and visitors. The Stillwater and Clear Creek Plants have scrubber systems that
automatically initiates upon a leak detection and can neutralize up to a one-ton release of either chemical.
The City Water and Wastewater Utilities operate a fully trained and certified hazardous materials response
team that is equipped to respond and correct any releases of chlorine or sulfur dioxide at any time. Call-
out procedures to activate this team are on file with the Redding Public Works Field Operations office, the
Redding Fire Department Administration, and SHASCOM.

7.8.5 Vulnerability
Overall, the City of Redding faces a moderate to high risk from exposure to hazardous material incidents,
as shown in Figure 9. The exposure was determined via two methods, the first of which is a one-mile buffer
around the six Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS)sites, and the second of which is a one-mile buffer
around selected sites on the major transportation corridors (Interstate 5; State Routes 44, 273, and 299;
and the Union Pacific Railroad Line).
Within the one-mile buffer around the 21 EHS sites, exposed are: 48,209 people, 28,681 residential
structures (worth $4.2 billion), 1,837 nonresidential structures (worth $2,280 million), and 269 critical
facilities (worth $614.7 million). These figures are for all of the EHS sites and, therefore, overstate the
exposure, since the probability of all EHS sites having an event simultaneously is very low. These facilities
are predominately located within industrial- and public-zoned areas within the City. However, all 21 EHS
facilities are located within a mile of residential areas.
Within a one-mile buffer around one selected site on the major transportation corridors (Interstate 5 and
Cypress Avenue), exposed are: 7,356 people, 1,535 residential structures (worth $178.4 million), 653
nonresidential structures (worth $450.3 million), and 6 critical facilities (worth $90.5 million). These figures
are calculated for one of the selected sites on the transportation corridor to give a representation of the
potential risk in this specific area. The other sites would have similar risk and exposure if an incident were
to occur. The incident magnitude is dependent on a number of factors, including: time of day, day of week,
location of incident, terrain, quantity of hazardous material involved, and type of hazardous material
involved.
With regard to the wastewater treatment plants,the Risk Management Plans document that a small release
of 180 pounds of chlorine or sulfur dioxide gas from the Stillwater Plant would be contained within 0.1 mile
and not affect the surrounding population, whereas a worst-case release of 2,000 pounds would transmit
1.3 miles and affect 2,400 people (See Figure 11).
The Risk Management Plans document that a small release of 180 pounds of chlorine or sulfur dioxide
gas from the Clear Creek Plant would be contained within 0.1 mile and not affect the surrounding
population, whereas a worst-case release of 2,000 pounds would transmit 3 miles and affect 9,700 people
(See Figure 11).

7.9 Chemical, Bio/ogical, Radio/ogical, Nuclear, Exp/osives (CBRNE)
7.9.1 Nature
Unlike accidents or natural disasters, an act of terrorism is a manmade event designed to extort
governments or communities for the purpose of bringing about political, social, and/or economic change.
The damage and disruption that may occur from such an event could be immeasurable, crippling a city,
region, state, or nation's economy with long-lasting effects. The psychological factor alone would affect
the well-being and sense of security people have come to know and enjoy.
The goals and objectives of a terrorist attack are to disrupt society and affect as many lives as possible.
This can be accomplished by many means, including the deployment of weapons of mass destruction or
by disrupting or damaging community and/or government infrastructure. It may also be accomplished
through cyber-attacks on business and/or government computer systems.
Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) used by terrorists to accomplish their goals may include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Chemical (i.e., nerve gas or blistering agent).
• Biological (i.e., anthrax, botulism, or smallpox).
• Radiological (i.e., "dirty bomb").
• Nuclear (i.e., thermonuclear).
• Explosives.
• Cyber-terrorism.
Of all these weapons, the easiest to obtain and use has been the conventional or improvised explosive
device.
The catastrophic attacks on the World Trade Center buildings in New York City, the Pentagon, and the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City proved to the nation that there are no safe havens
when considering acts of terrorism and Redding, California, is no exception. The freedom of movement
and virtually unrestricted access to government officials, buildings, and critical infrastructure that are
afforded to citizens and visitors presents terrorists the opportunity to deliver a devastating attack with only
the crudest of devices or WMD.
Chemical
Chemical weapons have been used primarily to terrorize an unprotected civilian population and not as a
weapon of war. This is because of fear of retaliation and the likelihood that the agent would contaminate
the battlefield for a long period of time. Some analysts suggest that the possibility of a chemical attack
would appear far more likely than either the use of nuclear or biological materials, largely due to the easy
availability of many of the necessary substances needed to construct chemical weapons. Additionally, the
rudimentary technical knowledge needed to build a working chemical

device is taught in every college-level chemistry course in the world. Some chemical agents are odoriess,
tasteless, and are difficult to detect. They can have an immediate effect (a few seconds to a few minutes)
or a delayed effect (several hours to several days).
Biological
Biological weapons are defined as any infectious agent, such as a bacteria or virus, used to produce illness
or death in people, animals, or piants. This definition is often expanded to include biologically derived
toxins and poisons. Biological agents can be dispersed as aerosols or airborne particles. Terrorists may
use biological agents to contaminate food or water because the agents are extremely difficult to detect.
Radiological
A radioactive material is a material made up of unstable atoms which give off excess energy in the form of
radiation through the process of radioactive decay.
Radiation cannot be detected by human senses. Wherever radioactive materials are used, transported,
or stored there is a potential for a radiological accident to occur. Some of their most common uses include
use:
• By doctors to detect and treat serious diseases.
• By educational institutions and companies for research.
• By the military to power large ships and submarines.
• By companies in the manufacture of products.
• As a critical base material to help produce the commercial electrical power that is generated by a
nuclear power plant.
• As one of the critical components in nuclear weapons which help deter the threat of war.
Nuclear
The possibility exists that a terrorist organization might acquire the capability of creating a small nuclear
detonation. A single nuclear detonation in the United States would likely produce fallout affecting an area
many times greater than that of the blast itself. There is also the possibility that a terrorist will construct a
"dirty bomb" (a bomb that is used to distribute contaminated nuclear materials). It would have less of an
effect than a "traditional" nuclear bomb, but the terror effect on the population would be great.
Explosive
The possibility exists that a terrorist may attack with conventional explosives, particularly in a public setting.
Innumerable incidents have occurred around the world involving car bombs, truck bombs, and bombs
attached directly to terrorist individuals.
Cyber-terrorism
Cyber-terrorism is the use of computer network tools to shut down critical government infrastructures such
as energy, transportation, and government operations, or to coerce or intimidate a government or civilian
73

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
population. The premise of cyber-terrorism is that as nations and critical infrastructure become more
dependent on computer networks for their operation, new vulnerabilities are created. A hostile nation or
group could exploit these vulnerabilities to penetrate a poorly secured computer network and disrupt or
even shut down critical public or business operations. The goal of cyber-terrorism is believed to be aimed
at hurting the economy of a region or country and to amplify the effects of a traditional physical terrorist
attack by causing additional confusion and panic.
7.9.2 History
Fortunately, the City of Redding has yet to experience significant incidents of chemical, biological,
radiological, nuclear, or explosive terrorism. However, as with most midsize cities in California, Redding
has its vulnerabilities. In consideration of its mild climate, special events, and attractiveness to tourists,
Redding stands out for those who would commit such atrocities.
Although no significant acts of terrorism have occurred in Redding, the area has experienced acts of
terrorism on a much smaller scale. Such acts include: arson, bomb threats, and hostage incidents.
Additionally, Redding has been impacted by recent computer viruses and worms.
7.9.3 Future Events
Chemicat
A terrorist would not have to build a complicated chemical release device. During favorable weather
conditions, an already existing chemical plant could be sabotaged or bombed, releasing a toxic cloud to
drift into a populated area. The result could be just as dangerous as having placed a smaller chemical
device in a more confined space. This type of incident would cause the maximum amount of fear,
trepidation, and potential panic among the civilian population, thus achieving a major terrorist objective.
Biological
The agents are cheap, easy to make, and simple to conceal. Even small amounts, if effectively deployed,
could cause massive injuries and overwhelm emergency rooms. The production of biological weapons
can be carried out virtually anywhere - in simple laboratories, on a farm, or even in a home. However,
experts say it remains very difficult to transform a deadly virus or bacterium into a weapon that can be
effectively dispersed. A bomb carrying a biological agent would likely destroy the germ as it explodes.
Dispersing the agents with aerosols is challenging because biomaterials are often wet and can clog
sprayers. Most agree that, while a biological attack could be devastating in theory, in reality the logistical
challenges of developing effective agents and then dispersing them make it less likely a terrorist could
carry out a successful widespread assault.
Radiological/Nuclear
Under extreme circumstances an accident or intentional explosion involving radiological materials can
cause very serious problems. Consequences may include death, severe health risks to the public, damage
to the environment, and extraordinary loss of, or damage to, property.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
Explosive
While generally more limited in the extent of the damage inflicted, explosive terrorist attacks may have
consequences, including death and damage to property.
Cyber-terrorism
Recent incidents illustrate the area's vulnerability to cyber-terrorism.
Effects
• On people and housing- Depending on levels of contamination and exposure, effects could range
from minimal to devastating.
• On commercial and industrial structures - Depending on levels of contamination and exposure,
effects could range from minimal to devastating.
• On infrastructure - Nuclear, radiological, and cyber-terrorism can have profound effects on
infrastructure.
• On agriculture - Depending on levels of contamination and exposure, effects could range from
minimal to devastating.
Without a history of significant acts of terrorism, or threats thereof, having taken place in the City of
Redding, there is virtually no data available in which to predict a specific act that may occur. However,
when considering the increase of terrorist attacks that have occurred worldwide and throughout the nation,
it is only prudent to plan and prepare for when such an event occurs in Redding, and where the City's
vulnerabilities lie.
More than ever before, plans to mitigate possible terrorist attacks are taken into consideration during the
planning phases of special events taking place throughout the city each year. By monitoring intelligence
bulletins from agencies that include the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, as well as from local
allied agencies, city officials are now in a position to greatly decrease the chances of a terrorist attack
and/or mitigate the effects of an attack if one were to occur. Additional measures can be found under the
section, Present and Future Mitigation Efforts.
7.9.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
Over the past few years, the Redding Police Department (RPD), in concert with other City departments
and allied agencies, have taken steps in which to combat the threat of a terrorist attack. These steps
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Redding Police Officers are equipped with .223 caliber rifles, ballistic helmets, ballistic plate
carriers and gas masks. They also receive training in response tactics and identification of
potential terrorist targets.
• As a Regional asset, RPD maintains an armored Special Response Vehicle, which allows ballistic
protection for officers during potential terrorist attacks, hostage situations and citizen or officer

rescues. Funding has also been secured for the purchase of a second, updated armored vehicle
that is scheduled to arrive in December of 2020.
• Patrol vehicles utilized by the Redding Police Department have Mobile Data Computers (MDCs)
that contain software specific to our local schools to include site survey information. Training
sessions have been conducted with school officials to coordinate emergency response to critical
incidents at school facilities.
• Over the last several years, the Redding Police Department has purchased dual-band portable
radios for officers. These radios provide enhanced inter-operability in communications with allied
agencies in our region. The ability to have direct communications with allied law enforcement and
fire agencies drastically improves our efficiency in response and handling of critical incidents.
• RPD keeps abreast of current terrorism activities through information bulletins provided by the
FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the California Anti-Terrorist Information Center
(CATIC). All bulletins received are reviewed and disseminated accordingly.
• RPD has multiple officers assigned as Terrorism Liaison Officers (TLOs). The TLOs document
suspicious events and send the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to the Sacramento Regional
Threat Assessment Center (SAC RTAC). This fusion center consists of multiple local, state and
federal law enforcement agencies.
• The Redding Police Department is very active in the Shasta County Bomb Team and contributes
three officers and a program manager. Bomb technicians from the Shasta County Sheriff's
Department and RPD train together monthly and handle all calls for service involving explosives
and suspicious devices. Technicians are highly trained in all facets of explosives and post blast
investigations.
• RPD has worked in unison with the Shasta County Sheriff's Department on countywide disaster
drills. Both agencies have identified potential terrorist targets in our region.
• RPD representatives meet quarterly with state and local Office of Emergency Services (OES)
representatives on the Mutual Aid Region Advisory Committee to discuss recent disasters and
ways in which to mitigate future events.
• Code Red Emergency Alerts - Shasta County residents can sign up for emergency alerts with
Code Red, an emergency alert notification system administered by Shascom911. Once signed
up, users will be notified in the event of emergency situations or critical community
alerts. Examples include: evacuation notices, bio-terrorism alerts, boil water notices, missing child
reports, and events like the Carr Fire.
• RPD has a large Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Program. Multiple UAVs provide officers the
ability to conduct surveillance day or night, conduct reconnaissance, and allows safe standoff
distances with the ability to assess scenes and read HazMat placards from afar.

• RPD representatives meet occasionally with Shasta County Public Health Advisory Committee
representatives to discuss natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and terrorist incidents affecting
public health.
• City officials and department heads meet semiannually to conduct Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) drills and exercises. The drills simulate large-scale natural disasters and terrorism
incidents in and around the City of Redding. All City departments practice their skills to manage
critical incidents utilizing the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the
National Incident Management System (NIMS).
• Site surveys have been conducted of critical City infrastructure to include the Civic Center, water
treatment facilities, power generation facilities, and airports. Police officers tour these facilities
with management personnel to determine vulnerabilities in security and operational procedures.
Recommendations are made for improvements.
• A police department policy to address the Homeland Security Advisory System "threat conditions"
is in effect. This policy addresses both national and regional threats.
• Several City of Redding departments, in cooperation with the Shasta County Office of Emergency
Services, have procured anti-terrorism and disaster management equipment through annual U.S.
Department of Homeland Security funding. Some items include: armored vehicles, hazmat
response equipment, and personal protective equipment.
• The Shasta Cascade Hazardous Materials Response Team (SCHMRT) is a multi-agency and
multi-jurisdictional emergency response team that serves six counties in Region III. The Shasta
County Fire Department serves as the lead agency for SCHMRT. The SCHMRT is a Type 2
Hazardous Materials Team, as determined by California Office of Emergency Services, which is
qualified to make entries into unknown chemical environments. SCHMRT is comprised of fifty(50)
skilled hazardous materials technicians and specialists from various agencies and departments,
including law enforcement, fire service, environmental and public health.
• The Shasta County Public Health Department has access to the California Health Alert Network
(CAHAN). This network is designed to alert local health departments throughout California in the
event of a public health emergency (bioterrorism). CAHAN provides a central point of access to
local health departments and their partners for sending and receiving alerts as well as locating,
creating, and sharing critical information from a web-based interFace.
• The Shasta County Public Health Department laboratory facility is equipped to process and test
a variety of materials which may include suspected biological agents. The department has
microbiologists on staff that have specialized training in select agent testing.

7.10 Pandemic/Epidemic
7.10.1 Nature
An epidemic is an outbreak of a contractible disease that spreads at a rapid rate through a human
population. A pandemic is an epidemic whose spread is global. Pandemics are characterized by the
emergence of a new infectious disease that causes serious illness and spreads easily among humans.
Since pandemics/epidemic involves new diseases, there are often no vaccines and little natural immunity
to thwart the spread of the epidemic.
Pandemics spread quickly through communities, nationally, or even globally. Generally, the elderly, young
children, and people with pre-existing illnesses are most vulnerable to a pandemic. However, some
pandemics such as the H1 N1 influenza outbreak of 2009 and the influenza outbreak of 1918-1919 have
defied this pattern by primarily affecting otherwise healthy individuals'.
7.10.2 Effects of Pandemic/Epidemic
In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) revised its phase descriptions for its pandemic influenza
preparedness and response alert system. The grouping and description of pandemic phases have been
revised to make them easier to understand, more precise, and based upon observable phenomena.
Phases 1-3 correlate with preparedness, including capacity development and response planning activities,
while Phases 4-6 clearly signal the need for response and mitigation efforts. Furthermore, periods after
the first pandemic wave are elaborated to facilitate post pandemic recovery activities. The phases are
shown in the table below:
World Health Or �nization Pandemi�Alert S stem Phase�
Phase 1 No viruses circulatin amon animals have been reported to cause infections in humans.
An animal influenza virus circulating among domesticated or wild animals is known to have
Phase 2 caused infection in humans, and is therefore considered a otential andemic threat.
An animal or human-animal influenza virus has caused sporadic cases or small clusters of
Phase 3 disease in people, but has not resulted in human-to-human transmission sufficient to sustain
community-level outbreaks. Limited human-to-human transmission may occur under some
circumstances, for example, when there is close contact between an infected person and an
unprotected caregiver. However, limited transmission under such restricted circumstances does
not indicate that the virus has gained the level of transmissibility among humans necessary to
cause a pandemic.
Verified human-to-human transmission of an animal or human-animal influenza virus able to
Phase 4 cause "community-level outbreaks." The ability to cause sustained disease outbreaks in a
communit marks a si nificant upwards shift in the risk for a pandemic.
Human-to-human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one WHO region. While most
Phase 5 countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a
pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication and
implementation of the planned mitigation measures in short.

7.10.3 History
Many types of diseases can result in a pandemic. There have been many epidemics throughout history,
such as the Black Death which peaked in Europe between 1348 and 1350. In the last hundred years,
significant pandemics include the Spanish flu in 1918, killing an estimated 50 million people worldwide and
the 2002 to 2003 SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) pandemic.
Most recently in 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has killed an estimated 1.3 million in 217
countries worldwide. Directives to practice social distancing and mandated facial coverings have slowed
the spread. Development of an effective, safe vaccine is currently underway.
7.10.4 Future Events
Pandemic
The immediate future will revolve around COVID-19 and future strains. The best way to prevent and slow
down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it
spreads. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose
when an infected person coughs or sneezes. If COVID-19 is spreading in your community, stay safe by
taking some simple precautions, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask, keeping rooms well
ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue.
�The avian flu, first identified in Vietnam in 2004, is also specifically referred to as the H5N1 virus strain.
Since late 2003, outbreaks from this pathogenic flu virus have occurred in East Asia. In addition, deaths
from this virus have occurred Thailand, China, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
The H1N1 influenza A Strain, also referred to as the swine flu, began spreading in Mexico in April 2009.
Just a few months later in June of 2009, this type of flu was declared a pandemic by the WHO. As most

of the deaths and illness occurred primarily in young people, this virus does not follow the pattern seen in
most other flu viruses. Pregnant women, young children, and people with chronic lung or other health
issues are most likely to suffer complications.
Epidemic
The most likely epidemic to occur in the City of Redding is the West Nile virus (WNV). The WNV is a
mosquito-borne disease that was originally found in Africa. In 1999, it was detected in the eastern United
States; since then, the virus has spread throughout the United States and is well-established in most states,
including California.
According to the Center of Disease Control, more than 30,000 people in the United States have been
reported as getting sick with WNV since 1999. Infected mosquitoes spread WNV that can cause serious,
life-altering disease. Most often, WNV is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes are WNV
carriers ("vectors") that become infected when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then
spread WNV to humans and other animals when they bite.
According to the California Department of Public Health, 34 counties have been affected by the WNV as
of August 31, 2012. The 3,142 reported cases include animal, mosquito samples, and human cases. Of
these reported cases, approximately 2 percent (69) are human cases; 3 of which were fatalities.
7.10.5 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is the lead pandemic/epidemic planning agency in
California. It coordinates the public health response to a pandemic/epidemic with local health departments,
the healthcare community, the federal government, and other key partners. In a pandemic/epidemic
incident, the CDPH Pandemic Preparedness Plan will be implemented in collaboration with the Emergency
Medical Services Authority (EMSA), California Health and Human Services Agency, Cal EMA, local health
departments, and tribal entities. While primarily a preparedness and response plan, the plan also identifies
potential mitigation actions that can be taken to reduce the impacts of the pandemic/epidemic, including:
• Ensure rapid and early detection of a novel virus.
• Confirm identity or type of a novel virus by laboratory identification.
• Identify the exposure source of the outbreak and the population at risk.
• Control and contain the spread of influenza through pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical
community containment strategies, including isolation, quarantine, infection control, antiviral
treatment and prophylaxis, and, if available, vaccination.
• Manage and disseminate accurate information for scientific, resource, and policy decisions in public
health and healthcare delivery settings.

7.11 Aviation Disaster
7.11.1 Nature
Redding Municipal Airport experiences thousands of landings and takeoffs each year. Various user groups
utilize the public airport, such as private, commercial, and governmental agencies, including U. S. Forest
Service and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). During the summer months,
the use of the airport becomes somewhat busier due to the fire-suppression flights offered to the northwest
region by the U. S. Forest Service and Cal Fire.
7.11.2 History
The airport has very few crashes and maintains airport approaches in accordance with FAA Regulations.
7.11.3 Mitigation Efforts and Vulnerability
The airport's most probable scenario for an incident would likely occur during the hot summer months,
during a significant wildfire with strong gusty winds. Using this scenario, we created the most likely
incident: a Lockheed P2V or P-3 Orion loaded with fire retardant and fuel crashes soon after departure at
either end of Runway 16-34 or near Airport Road. In this impact area, there are one residential and two
commercial occupancies. The values of the properties total approximately $620,000, and life loss would
be estimated at three persons on the ground and unknown number of persons on board the aircraft. The
Airport Emergency Plan - 2014 (revised 12/1/2017) has been created and maintained by the Airport
Managers to mitigate and respond to any disaster.

7.12 Dam Overfiow or Failure
7.12.1 Nature
Shasta Dam, on the Sacramento River just above Redding, serves to control fioodwaters and store winter
runoff for irrigation in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, maintain navigable flows, provide flows
for the conservation fisheries in the Sacramento River and its downstream tributaries, provide water for
municipal and water district use, protect the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta from saltwater intrusion, and
generate hydroelectric power. In addition, Shasta Lake (behind Shasta Dam) provides boating and
recreation opportunities that bring millions of dollars to the Redding area annually.
Measured in mass, Shasta Dam is the second largest dam in the United States (behind Grand Coulee
Dam on the Columbia River in Washington State). The dam is 602 feet high, with a crest length of 3,460
feet. It is 883 feet thick at the bottom and 30 feet thick at the top. Shasta Dam is a curved concrete gravity-
type dam with 6.5 million cubic yards of concrete weighing 15 million tons. Construction of the dam started
in 1938 and was completed in 1945. The spillway is 487 feet long, creating the largest man-made waterfall
in the world. The spillway is 375 feet wide with three drum-gates. Each drum-gate is 110 feet wide, 28
feet tall, and weighs 500 tons. There are 18 outlets on the face of the dam, each 8.5 feet in diameter, with
a maximum overall capacity of 186,000 cubic feet per second.
Prior to the construction of Shasta Dam, floods frequently ravaged the Sacramento Valley, including the
State Capital. It is estimated that Shasta Dam has prevented over 5 billion dollars in flood damages. The
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation uses flood control procedures and regulations prescribed by the Corps of
Engineers for operations per agreements between the two entities.
The City of Redding is the first incorporated city downstream of Shasta Dam through which the Sacramento
River flows. As such, the City would be directly affected by a dam overflow or failure. Although these are
two different types of events, the results are the same - uncontrolled releases from Shasta Dam.
Dam Overflow
Although it is highly unlikely, a dam overflow is more likely than a dam failure. A dam overflow would be
characterized by an "overtopping" of the dam. The design of the structure includes three large spillway
gates to minimize the possibility of a true overtopping of the dam. During an intense and prolonged storm
period that might bring water levels near the top of the dam,these spillway gates would be lowered allowing
water to be discharged down the spillway. Controlling, or funneling, the discharge down the spillway
prevents structural erosion along the base and sides of the dam, protects the turbine power generation
plant at the base of the dam, and allows control of the release in cubic feet per second.
Dam Failure
A dam failure is less likely than a dam overflow. A dam failure would be characterized by a structural
breach of the dam. Flooding and overtopping, earthquakes, release blockages, landslides, lack of
maintenance, improper operation, poor construction, vandalism, or terrorism typify dam failures. California
has had about 45 failures of nonfederal dams. These failures occurred for a variety of reasons, the most
common being overtopping of earthen dams. Some of the other reasons include specific shortcomings in
84

������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
the dams themselves or inadequate assessment of the surrounding geomorphologic characteristics.
Shasta Dam is a federal dam, one of the largest concrete dams in the world, and secured firmly on bedrock.
7.12.2 Effects of Dam Overflow or Failure
Uncontrolled releases from the dam, although very uniikely, would devastate the entire northern Central
Valley. The Sacramento River and its tributaries would overtop banks and levees. Massive flooding in the
lowlands along the river would occur and Interstate 5, the main west coast transportation artery, would be
affected by closure and possible structural damage.
Other effects of large-scale flooding downstream include: loss of life, limited potable water supplies,
potential for spread of disease from the release of untreated sewage, structural damage to buildings,
probable loss of electricity and landline communications, crop damage and loss of agricultural lands, loss
of livestock, emergency response efforts hampered by flooded transportation corridors, and the inevitable
clean-up of silt, mudflows, erosion, and debris.
In the event of a dam failure, large-scale flooding could occur repeatedly until the replacement of the dam
is complete. As stated before, prior to the completion of Shasta Dam, devastating floods were a regular
occurrence in the Sacramento River valley.
7.12.3 History
Dam Overflow
Shasta Dam has never overflowed in its 76-year history. In 1977, and again in 1998, prolonged warm
spring rainfalls in the watershed above Shasta Dam raised the lake levels as much as 10 feet per day for
more than one week. This early snowmelt was followed by intense storms that dropped record
precipitation, bringing lake levels to within 10 feet of the top. In 1998, the flows were increased to 80,000
cfs out of the dam, but inflow to the lake was steady at more than 225,000 cfs. The storms subsided as
the lake neared 4 feet from the top of the dam and the Bureau of Reclamation assured everyone that the
dam was never in danger of overtopping. The next day officials at the dam announced that for only the
second time in the dam's history, the massive drum-gates would all be lowered and water would come
over the entire spillway in an effort to draw the lake back down to comfortable levels. The spillway gates
remained open for several days, as shown in the picture below, releasing 78,000 cfs. In February of 2017,
the Shasta Dam drum gates were opened for a third time. After an exceptionally wet winter, the 3 gates
were opened one at a time as a test in order to ensure they were working properly.
Dam Failure
Although there is a history of 45 dam failures within the State of California, most of the failures were earthen
dams. Of the concrete dams that failed, all were of the "thin-arch" design. Shasta Dam is a federally
controlled and inspected dam and is considered a "thick arch." Seismic activity is monitored, and tunnels
throughout the dam itself allow inspectors to monitor for cracks and seepage. The dam is built on bedrock
and is geomorphologically sound. The probability of a dam failure is extremely low.

7.12.4 Future Events
There is an extremely low likelihood of a dam overflow or a dam failure. Record rainfall events drew lake
levels near the top thrice in the last two decades, but both events were sidestepped using modern weather
forecasting and safe release levels from the dam. Following the terrorist events of September 11, 2001,
Shasta Dam was closed to traffic across the dam for security reasons, thus minimizing a terrorist threat.
The dam has since re-opened to through traffic by permit but maintains a policy of"no parking or stopping"
on the dam.

7.12.6 Vulnerability Shasta Dam releasing'78,000 cfs
Although it is highly unlikely, the most probable scenario would be a dam overflow, not a dam failure. In
the event that prolonged periods of high-intensity rain, typically in mid to late spring, in the watersheds
above Shasta Dam, the inflows to the lake could exceed 225,000 cfs for extended periods of time. If the
lake levels were near capacity and discharges from the dam at 80,000 cfs were unable to draw the lake
down enough to prevent an overtopping, the Bureau of Reclamation would likely be forced to open the
spillway gates and allow higher flows. There is no precedence for this, but it is likely that the Bureau would
give at least 12-hours' notice of the impending rise in river flows. The City of Redding has run an EOC drill
simulating an uncontrolled release at 100,000 cfs with 12-hours' notice for evacuation of people and
livestock from the inundation area. The affected area covers 3,000 acres and would displace some 1,987
people. Damages estimates are $131.2 million. See Figure 8 for 100-year-flood scenario.

7.13.2 Effects of Volcano Activity
Mount Shasta is within Siskiyou County and poses the greatest volcanic risk to our neighbors within Shasta
County; however, Mt. Shasta Volcanic activity would only impact some residents or properties within the
northern portions of the City of Redding with moderate ash-fall. The extent of impacts from volcanic activity
has been discussed in the Shasta County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. More specifically,
the County's plan has divided the areas subject to risk from future eruptions of Mount Shasta into zones
that delineate the estimated degree of risk from each type of eruptive phenomenon.
7.13.3 History
Shastina, west of the cluster of other central vents, was formed mainly between 9,700 and 9,400 years;
the Hotlum cone, which forms the summit and the north and northwest slopes of Mount Shasta, may
overlap Shastina in age, but most of the Hotlum cone is probably younger. Mount Shasta has continued
to erupt at least once every 600-800 years for the past 10,000 years. Its most recent eruption probably
was in 1786. Evidence for this eruption, recorded from sea by the explorer La Perouse, is somewhat
ambiguous, but his description could only have referred to Mount Shasta (this description has been the
subject of debate). A small craterlike depression in the summit dome, containing several small groups of
fumaroles and an acidic hot spring, might have formed during that eruption; lithic ash preserved on the
slopes of the volcano and widely to the east yields charcoal dates of about 200 years. -- Christiansen,
1990, fN: Wood and Kienle
Three episodes of volcanism have occurred at the Lassen volcanic center in the past 1,100 years. These
are the complex eruption at Chaos Crags, the eruptions at Cinder Cone, and the summit eruptions of
Lassen Peak in 1914-1917. -- Clynne, 1990, lN: Wood -� — — ---� -

from the pyroclastic eruption rose to an altitude of more than 9 kilometers above the vent and deposited a
lobe of pumiceous tephra that can be traced as far as 30 kilometers to the east-northeast. The fall of fine
ash was reported as far away as Elko Nevada, more than 500 kilometers east of Lassen Peak. Intermittent
eruptions of variable intensity continued until about the middle of 1917. -- Hoblitt, et.al., 1987
7.13.4 Future Events
According to the 1995 Woodward-Clyde study commissioned by the City of Redding, the potential for
impact from either Mount Shasta or Lassen Peak eruptions are minimal. Due to the upper wind currents
and geographical locations, ash from either of these two mountains will not likely impact Redding. It is
noted in this study that debris flows from a Mount Shasta eruption would follow river valleys such as those
occupied by the Sacramento River, Squaw Valley River, and the McCloud River to the south and the
Shasta River to the north. This debris flow hazard zone terminates where the tributaries enter Lake Shasta
and would be unlikely to overflow Shasta Dam. Redding lies outside the flowage hazard zones associated
with Mount Shasta, and the City is not likely to be threatened by future eruptions, according to the 1995
study.
7.13.5 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
Due to the low probability of a catastrophic eruption from either of these two mountains impacting the City
of Redding, it is our recommendation to monitor the situations and develop a plan when and if such events
would occur.
7.13.6 Vulnerability
Populations living near volcanoes are most vulnerable to volcanic eruptions and lava flows, although
volcanic ash can travel and affect populations many miles away. Residents near volcanoes should learn
about the community warning systems and emergency plans; be prepared for the hazards that can
accompany volcanoes, which includes mudflows and flash floods, landslides and rockfall, earthquakes, as
fall and acid rain. Residents should make evacuation plans and if living in a known volcanic hazard area,
plan a route out and have a backup route in mind. Residents should develop an emergency communication
plan. In case family members are separated from one another during a volcanic eruption (a real possibility
during the day when adults are at work and children are at school), have a plan for getting back together.
Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the "family contact," because after a disaster, it's often
easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone knows the name, address, and phone number of the
contact person.
The City of Redding faces a low probability of impact from eruptions occurring at either Mount Shasta or
Lassen Peak.

7.14 Mass Casualty
7.14.1 Nature
Many of the hazards in this City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan have the potential to produce mass
casualties. Each hazard is unique in how mass casualties may occur and are addressed. In most
disasters, deaths and injuries are just one of the effects of the hazard, while in a mass casualty accident
deaths and injuries are the hazard. In a tornado or flood, for example, besides dealing with deaths and
injuries, one has the larger task of dealing with replacing or repairing what was damaged; feeding,
clothing, and sheltering disaster victims; cleaning up the debris, etc. Mass casualty accidents are just the
opposite. The main emphasis has to be response to the large numbers of deaths and injuries.
Secondary emphasis will be on the other problems and needs. Mass casualty accidents are a very
special variety of hazard.
Unfortunately, mass casualty incidents are increasing in frequency throughout the United States. The most
common types of MCIs are generally caused by terrorism, mass-transportation accidents, fires or natural
disasters. For planning purposes, we will define mass casualty accidents as: "An active shooter incident."
7.14.2 History
The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) defines an active shooter as one or more individuals actively
engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. The FBI statistics for 2019 indicate the
following:
• 28 incidents in 16 states, 5 in California
• 247 casualties (excluding the shooters) 97 killed 150 wounded
• 2 Law Enforcement Officers were killed and 15 were wounded
• Law Enforcement engaged the shooters in 11 incidents
• 30 shooters—29 males and 1 female
• 4 shooters wore body armor
• 5 shooters committed suicide
• shooters were killed by police
• 1 shooter was killed by a citizen
• 15 shooters were apprehended by Law Enforcement
The active shooter incidents in 2019 were broken down numerically into the following locations:
• Commerce 12
• Education 3
• Government 4
• Open Space 5
• House of Worship 2
• Health Care 2

7.14.3 Future Events
The City of Redding has been fortunate to avoid an active shooter event; however, there have been several
active shooter incidents throughout Northern California in the last several years. In light of the FBI statistics,
it's clear that Redding is at the same risk of having an active shooter event as any other similar sized city in
the nation.
7.14.4 Present and Future Mitigation Efforts
The City's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) addresses the City's field planned response to mass
casualty incidents. The EOP is designed to be consistent with the California-mandated Standardized
Emergency Management System (SEMS)and federal plan requirements.Within the EOP is an Emergency
Operations Center(EOC)Guidebook which includes a checklist for mass casualty incidents.
Additionally, the Sierra Sacramento Valley Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency's Multiple
Patient/Casualty Incidents Plan, updated September 2017, describe the procedures necessary to ensure an
effective and coordinated response to an incident involving mass casualties in the Redding City area. This
plan should be implemented whenever a mass casualty incident develops which requires resources beyond
the normal day-to-day operations, mutual aid or which may overwhelm an individual department, service,
hospital or community. This plan has been endorsed by the ten counties the S-SV serves (Placer,Yuba,
Yolo, Nevada, Sutter, Butte,Colusa,Shasta,Tehama, and Siskiyou).
The Redding Police Department has multiple officers trained as instructors in active shooter response tactics.
The instructors provide regular training to all Redding Police Officers in the use of these tactics. Officers carry
specialized equipment on a daily basis to deal with any such incident. A regional armored rescue vehicle is
also maintained by the Redding Police Department and is available at all times. A second armored vehicle is
in the process of being purchased. Shasta County allied law enforcement agencies along with Fire and Medical
personnel are also in the planning stages of a large countywide active shooter drill. Inter-agency training and
communication is vital to increase efficiency in managing an active shooter event.
Redding Police Officers are also trained in basic first-aid and receive additional training in the use of tourniquets
and gunshot wound trauma care. Tourniquets and additional first-aid equipment are carried by all officers on
patrol.
The Redding Police Department also has four full-time School Resource Officers (SROs), who provide police
services and security for numerous elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and Shasta College.
Having police officers on-site, networking with school administrators, teachers and students, helps to mitigate
risks and prevent incidents before they occur. The relationships developed by SROs are invaluable when it
comes to intelligence gathering regarding potential threats. Research indicates many active shooters make
verbal threats in person and/or on social media sites prior to carrying out their violent plans. SROs are
oftentimes made aware of these types of threats long before any violent acts occur; this intelligence allows
SROs to be proactive and intervene.
Officers from the Redding Police Department have provided training to local government entities, schools,
businesses and places of worship to increase awareness and attempt to prevent violent acts through
knowledge.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
7.14.5 Vulnerability
Mass casualty accidents occur with little or no warning. They involve a large number of people and
require special types of equipment and emergency medical personnel. Unlike traditional hazard assessment,
an active shooter vulnerability assessment looks at a multiple of angles, resources, systems, coordination
and mitigation through a structured matrix platform specific to an active shooter incident.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI's)2018 Active Shooter Incidents in the U.S. Report,
the FBI designated 27 shootings as active shooter incidents, 4 of which occurred in California. The FBI
defines an active shooter as one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in
a populated area.The FBI expands this definition to include more than one individual in an incident and omits
the word confined as the term excludes incidents that occurred outside buildings. Implicit in this definition is
the shooter's use of one or more firearms. The active aspect of the definition inherently implies that both law
enforcement personnel and citizens have the potential to affect the outcome of the event based upon their
responses to the situation.
The 27 incidents resulted in 213 casualties (85 people killed and 128 people wounded, excluding the
shooters). The highest number of casualties (17 killed and 17 wounded) occurred at Marjory Stoneman
Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The second highest number of casualties (12 killed and 16
wounded) occurred at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California.
Law enforcement suffered casualties in five of the nine incidents where they engaged the shooter to end the
threat. In five incidents, citizens confronted the shooter. In three incidents, unarmed citizens confronted the
shooter, thereby ending the shooting. In two incidents, armed citizens possessing valid firearms permits
exchange gunfire with the shooter.
The shooter were predominately males; 23 shooters were male; 3 shooters were female and the gender of
one shooter is unknown. Of these 27 incidents, 26 shooters acted alone and one shooter may have acted
alone. The ages of the shooters ranged in age from 13 years to 64 years.
Law enforcement was able to apprehend 11 shooters; 6 of which were at the scene and 5 at another location.
Two of the 11 shooters initially fled the scene after being confronted by citizens and one was restrained by
a citizen.
Law enforcement killed 5 shooters and 1 shooter was killed by citizens possessing valid firearms permits at
the scene.
Of the 27 shooters, 10 shooters committed suicide; four at the scene before law enforcement arrived, three
at the scene after law enforcement arrived, and three at another location. After being confronted by citizens,
one shooter committed suicide.
One shooter is at large.
The location of where these 27 incidents occurred varies from education environments, business
environments, open space locations, health care facilities, government property to a house of worship.
In these incidents, as in the past years, citizens and law enforcement were faced with split-second life-and-
death decision.

facilities and infrastructure. The detailed information on these identified assets has been provided in
Section 6, Community Description. The information was from various sources, including the US Census
Bureau and the Red Cross.

8.0 MITIGATION STRATEGY
This section describes the City's strategy to utilize our resources to achieve our goals of reducing losses
from future hazard events. This strategy identifies who is responsible for which actions, what funding
mechanisms (e.g., grant funds, capital budget, or in-kind donations) and resources are available or will be
pursued, and when the actions are to be completed.
8.1 DMA 2000 Requirements
The DMA 2000 requirement for planning a hazard mitigation strategy is shown in Table 8-1.
TAB�E 8-1
DMA 2000 Re uirements — Miti ation Strate
The plan shall include a mitigation strategy that provides the jurisdiction's blueprint for reducing
REQUIREMENT the potential losses identified in the risk assessment, based on existing authorities, policies,
201.6 c 3 pro rams and resources, and its abilit to ex and on and improve these existin tools.
The community's hazard reduction goals, as reflected in the plan, along with their
corresponding objectives, guide the development and implementation of mitigation measures.
This section should describe what these goals are and how they were developed. The goals
could be developed early in the planning process and refined based on the risk assessment
findings, or developed entirely after the risk assessment is completed. They should also be
compatible with the goals of the community as expressed in other community plan documents
(such as the General Plan).
EXPLANATION
Although the Interim Federal Regulations language does not require a description of
objectives, communities are highly encouraged to include a description of the objectives
developed to achieve the goals so that reviewers understand the connection between goals,
objectives, and activities.
The goals and objectives should:
Be based on the findings of the local and State risk assessments; and
Represent a long-term vision for hazard reduction or enhancement of mitigation
ca abilities.
8.1.1 Development Mitigation Goa/s and Objectives
Based on the identified hazards that might affect the city of Redding, the goals and objectives have been
updated accordingly to include information on the hazards added to this 2014 Plan update: CBRNE, Mass
Casualty, and PandemicJEpidemic. There has not been any development since the plan was previously
adopted that impacts the City's overall vulnerability, therefore the City validates the previously adopted
goals and objectives. Section 7 of the plan profile of the major hazards, assess the risk of such hazards,
describe the City's vulnerability, and estimate potential losses from the hazards. Based on the risk
assessment, the HMPT developed mitigation goals and objections. The goals and objectives represent
our City's efforts to reduce the potential losses identified in Section 7. The mitigation goals are long-term
policy statements and global visions that support the mitigation strategy.These goals have been developed
to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazard. The mitigation objectives define
measurable steps to achieve the goals. The goals and objectives are consistent or are complementary to
our existing policies, programs, and resources.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
8.1.2 Mitigation Actions and Priorities
Mitigation actions are intended to eliminate or lessen the impact of a hazard. Actions are a means of
carrying out the objectives. The city must also have the legal, administrative, fiscal and technical
capacities to perform each action. The process of analyzing the capacity of a jurisdiction is cailed the
capabilities assessment which has been prepared and provided in Section 8.2.
In this 2014 update, the Capability Assessment remains unchanged. Based on the Capability
Assessment, the project team reviewed the mitigation actions and added realistic actions where
applicable.
Actions/projects from the 2005 Plan that have been completed are listed in Table 8-9. Additionally, new
actions were developed for the new goals and objectives that were added to the Plan. The mitigation
actions were then identified and prioritized with the highest to lowest priorities. Table 8-8 summarizes the
implementation of the identified mitigation actions and projects that are ongoing and new which are being
considered by elected officials, staff, and the community, as resources permit, to reduce the effects of each
hazard. The table lists each action and indicates a responsible agency or department shows a priority
rating, establishes a time line for completion, shows potential funding sources and other necessary
resources. The priorities were based on a review by the HMP Team, according to their greatest cost
benefit ratio, their expected present value, and their internal rate of return. The priority of the
ongoing/existing mitigation actions did not change.
8.2 Capability Assessment
Although not required by DMA 2000, a highly recommended component of the Mitigation Strategy is a
local capability assessment. A capability assessment has two components: an inventory of an agency's
mission, programs, and policies; and an analysis of its capacity to carry them out. The capability
assessment is a review of the City's resources in order to identify, review, and analyze what the City is
currently doing to reduce losses and identify the framework that is in place or should be in place for the
implementation of new mitigation actions. The assessment involves four parts: (1) A review of the City's
legal and regulatory capability, including ordinances, codes, and plans to address hazard mitigation
activities; (2) A review of the administrative and technical ability of Redding's staff and personnel
resources; (3) A review of the fiscal capability of Redding to provide the financial resources to implement
the mitigation strategy; and (4)A summary review of the activities of each administrative division within the
City that supports hazard mitigation activities and details any previous mitigation activities undertaken by
these entities. The legal and regulatory hazard mitigation capability of the City of Redding is shown in
Table 8-2. The table includes a review of existing ordinances, codes and plans that affect the built
environment in Redding.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
8.3 Goa/s, Objectives, and Actions
The goals, objectives, and actions were developed from the information in the hazard vulnerability analysis
and loss estimation sections. The goals, objectives, and actions were developed to represent a vision of
long-term hazard reduction or enhancement of existing capabilities. In developing the action plan, an
agency lead has been determined for ongoing and new mitigation actions. A large majority of the actions
are integrated into existing mechanisms. Each lead agency will make a determination as to how to
integrate any new mitigation action into existing mechanisms when appropriate. The tables provided in
this section are as follows:
Table 8-5: Provides this section's organization strategy, which has been broken down into three
conceptual levels.

City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
9.0 PLAN ADOPTION, MAINTENANCE, REVIEW, EVALUATION, AND
IMPLEMENTATION
9.1 Adoption
The Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan 2014 Update was adopted by the Redding City Council on
September 16, 2014. The resolution is provided on page 9. The plan was approved by FEMA on
November 16, 2015, for a five-year period that will expired on November 16, 2020
9.2 Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan
The Hazard Mitigation Plan is a living document that reflects the City's ongoing hazard mitigation activities.
The process of monitoring, evaluating, and updating the Plan will be critical to the effectiveness of hazard
mitigation.
The City's Emergency Services Coordinator in the City's Fire Department will be responsible for
maintaining, evaluating, and updating the Plan. The Plan is intended to evolve in accord with changing
priorities and policies within the community, and all mitigations set forth in the Plan, as well as the
time-frame for their accomplishment are subject to revision and amendment. The City's Hazard
Mitigation Project Team (HMPT) will play a crucial role in providing direction, input, and guidance. The
Emergency Services Coordinator will lead the HMPT and will review and recommend for approval any
Plan updates proposed by the HMPT. The Plan will be reviewed at least every two years and updated at
least every five years.
Recommendation for Plan revisions will be based on the following criteria:
• Changes in federal or state laws.
• Accomplishment of Actions, Objectives and Goals.
• Advances in knowledge or understanding of hazards.
• Additional hazard events, including federally declared disasters.
• Changes in the City's risk to the identified and/or additional hazards.
• Performance of mitigation projects during hazard events.
• Availability of funding and availability of staff with necessary expertise to fulfil the Plan.
The HMPT will convene annually to review the progress made towards the Plan's goals and objectives.
The HMPT will review each goal and objective to determine their relevance to changing situations in the
City, as well as changes in state or federal policy and laws to ensure that the Plan is addressing current
and expected conditions. This annual review will include: a prioritization and re-evaluation of mitigation
actions, as appropriate; an assessment of each action's current status; and recommendations for
improvements and/or changes. The HMPT will produce an annual Nazard Mitigation Status Report that
represents the results of the annual review and present it to the Redding City Council.

Additionally, per FEMA regulations, the Plan will undergo a comprehensive review and update every five
years. The Plan will be forwarded first to the California Office of Emergency Services for initiai review;
then to FEMA for final approval, and lastly to the Redding City Council for adoption.
2014 Plan Evaluation
Review of the implementation of the 2005 plan allowed the opportunity to review the Plan's goals,
objectives and identified actions to determine their relevance and current status. Prior to the initiation of
the 2014 plan update process, little evaluation of the plan was conducted, primarily due to the economic
downturn and its impact onto City staffing. As the plan was evaluated during the update process, the
following was determined:
• 78 of the 96 identified 2005 actions are ongoing;
• 9 of the 18 identified non-ongoing 2005 actions were successfully completed; and
• 10 additional unidentified actions were successfully completed.
As a part of the 2014 Update, a review of development within hazard prone areas was performed to
determine their impact since the adoption of the plan in 2005. The table below list development that has
occurred in hazard prone areas since the adoption of the plan and identifies which hazard prone area and
its vulnerability.
T e of Develo ment Hazard Vulnerabilit
Single Family Homes Fire No impact to vulnerability. Homes have been allowed to be
constructed in the very high fire severity zone; however, their
vulnerability is mitigated with the adoption of recent building
codes which re uire the installation of fire s rinklers.
Various Development Flood No impact to vulnerability. All development within a designated
flood plain is subject to the City's adopted Flood Plain
Regulations which are more stringent than the National Flood
Insurance Program's mandated regulations for a Community
Ratin S stem Class 6 communit .
Clover Creek Detention Flood Decreased vulnerability. This was designed as a regional
Basin detention facility and decreases the vulnerability of flooding along
Churn Creek.
2021 Plan Evaluation
Review of the implementation of the 2015 plan allowed the opportunity to review the Plan's goals,
objectives and identified actions to determine their relevance and current status. As the plan was evaluated
during the update process, the following was determined:
• 136 of the 141 identified 2015 actions are ongoing;
• 3 of the 28 non-going identified 2015 actions were successfully completed;
• 3 additional unidentified actions were successfully completed; and
• 5 identified 2015 actions were eliminated in this update.

9.3 implementation Through Existing Programs
The City of Redding currently utilizes comprehensive land use planning, capital improvements planning,
building codes and fire codes to guide and regulate development. The City of Redding addresses
statewide planning goals and legislative requirements through these various programs. The �ocal Hazard
Mitigation Plan provides a series of actions, many of which are closely related to the goals and objectives
of these existing planning programs. The Steering Committee is responsible for determining how each
individual action will be implemented through existing programs. After the City officially adopts the Plan,
these existing mechanisms will have hazard mitigation strategies integrated into them. The Emergency
Services Coordinator will ensure incorporation of hazard mitigation strategies during the periodic reviews
of the City's comprehensive plans and land use policies.
Capital Improvement Plan
The action items in the mitigation plan may be achieved through activities recommended in the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP is updated every five years. Upon review of the CIP, the Steering
Committee will work with the City's Public Works Department to identify areas where the hazard mitigation
action items are consistent with CIP goals and integrate them where appropriate.

Citv Proqrams
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The City of Redding's Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is used as a tool to help ensure that
the City's short- and long-term capital investments are made in the context of careful consideration
of the City's needs as well as the resources available to fund the related capital projects. The
128
fA��p���
� ;:
U P�}
�

������.�
City of Redding Hazard Mitigation Plan
budgeting for the CIP starts with the development of the City's 2-year budget and 10-year financial
plan. This biennial process includes a combination of detailed staff analysis and broad public
involvement. It is during this process that basic municipal operational and specific infrastructure
needs are identified and matched with revenues generated from various local, state and federal
funding sources. The CIP can assist the City of Redding in mitigation against wildland fire, flooding,
and severe weather events by improving infrastructure most prone to damage.
Emergency Operation Center (EOC)
The Emergency Operation Center is an established location/facility from which City staff and
officials can provide direction, coordination, and support to emergency operations in the event of
an incident such as a disaster. City personnel who are assigned to and trained for specific positions
within the EOC organizational structure staff the EOC. The structure is based on the National
Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) as outlined in the National
Response Framework (NRF).
The EOC staff provides information and recommendations to the EOC Manager through the
Incident Commander, or as directed, to develop a course of action to respond to and contain,
control, and recover from an emergency. Some of the primary functions performed at the EOC
include: coordination, operations management, planning, information tracking and dissemination,
logistical support, financial management and support, and emergency public information.
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)
The primary purpose of the EOP is to outline the City's all-hazard approach to emergency
operations in order to protect the safety, health, and welfare of its citizens throughout all emergency
management mission areas.
The Plan sets forth a strategy and operating guidelines adopted by the City for managing its
response and recovery activities during disasters and emergencies.
The Plan is composed of three main elements:
• Basic Plan
The purpose of the Basic Plan is to provide a framework for emergency operations
and information regarding the City's emergency management structure. It serves
as the primary document outlining roles and responsibilities of elected officials
during an incident.
• Functional Annexes (FAs)
The FAs focus on critical tasks, capabilities, and resources provided by emergency
response agencies for the City throughout all phases of an emergency.
• Incident Annexes (IAs)
The IAs supplement the Basic Plan to identify critical tasks associated with specific
natural, technological, and human-caused haZards identified in the City's most
current Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment. The IAs identifies step-

by-step actions for each hazard through the pre-incident, response, and recovery
phases of an incident.
9.4 Continued Public lnvolvement
The City of Redding is dedicated to involving the public directly in the continual reshaping and updating of
the Hazard Mitigation Plan. The HMPT members will be responsible for the annual review and update of
the Plan. The annual review will incorporate at least one public workshop to allow public involvement,
input, and feedback about the Plan.
Copies of the Plan will be kept at the County of Shasta Library, at the Fire Prevention Office, at the
Police Station, and on the City's website. The HMPT will be responsible for publicizing the location of
these copies at least 30 days prior to the annual meeting to allow adequate time for the public to review
and provide input. Public input will be included on the agenda of each annual meeting.
