14.3.2.4 Policy or Program Capability
The Town of Los Gatos has several plans and ordinances in place which provide ample opportunities
for implementing the hazard mitigation strategy outlined in this plan.
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011 P a g e 14 -16
14.3.2.4.1 Summary of Plans that Support Hazard Mitigation
Emergency Operations Plan
The Town of Los Gatos' Emergency Operations Plan (EOP):
• identifies hazards that exist in Los Gatos and the likelihood that they will occur in the town,
• outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the municipality in its preparedness activities, and
• guides the town and departmental agencies through a response to any emergency and through
the recovery process of a disaster.
Two purposes of Los Gatos' EOP are to enhance the development of Local Hazard Mitigation
Planning on an ongoing basis and to support collaboration efforts between municipal staff and
extemal partners such as fire services, law enforcement, utility organizations, colleges, community
groups, and volunteers. The plan is designed to address the needs of all people located in Los Gatos
when a disaster happens. An outline of the EOP as it relates to hazard mitigation is provided below.
Hazard Analysis- The EOP ranks hazards by their likelihood to occur in Los Gatos and the severity
of the hazard if it were to occur. The hazards listed in the EOP include: aviation disaster, civil
disturbance, dam failure, earthquake, extreme weather /storm, floods, landslides, HAZMAT, heat
wave, public health emergency, terrorism, transportation - highway, wildfire /forest fire.
Prevention & Mitigation - The EOP lists hazard specific mitigation actions to take in order to reduce
the severity of damage that may result from the hazards listed above. The hazards and the hazard
specific mitigation actions are listed below.
1. Earthquake
• Inspect all structures for non - structural hazards and mitigate them
• Provide Disaster Home Preparedness training to Town employees and volunteer
responders
• Continue community education efforts (CERT and Los Gatos Prepared)
2. Wildfire
Promote approved messages about fire safety and vegetation management in
vulnerable areas
Wildland -Urban Interface Fire Zones Ordinance (as adopted on 2 -2 -09 by Town
Council)
3. Flood
• Regularly inspect storm drains and keep clean
• Annual updates by Santa Clara Valley Water District
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011 P a g e 14 -17
4. Dam Failure
• Plan for continuity of government in the event of a failure and Town Hall is
destroyed
• Implement a Public Warning System
• Implement an Evacuation Plan
• Inform residents in the inundation zone on methods of evacuation and
communication
5. Heat Wave
• Supervisors of Town employees must ensure that employees receive sufficient breaks
and water if working outdoors
• Cooling centers are promoted to the public
6. Public Health Hazards
• During outbreaks of contagious disease follow directions from the County Public
Health Department
• Encourage social distancing and proper hygiene
• Ill employees must be sent home or to medical care
• Increase the availability of public education campaigns
• Encourage school surveillance processes
7. Hazardous Materials
• Encourage familiarity with MSDS binders in the workplace
• Train staff to store, use, and dispose of hazardous materials properly
• Promote safe disposal of hazardous materials in the community
• Promote education in large population buildings, shopping centers, and schools
regarding the Shelter in Place protocol for hazardous materials emergency
8. Terrorism
• Train staff to recognize suspicious packages and/or boxes, particularly those who
process the mail
• Train residents to be aware of the surroundings and to be willing to report suspicious
activity to the Police Department
Preparedness - The Preparedness section of the EOP details the Los Gatos emergency organization,
including the role of the Disaster Council, Town Council, Mayor, and Director of Emergency
Services. The plan also details the organization and roles of other Town agencies and volunteers
working in the field and at emergency operations centers. The organization and role of Santa Clara
County, the State of California, and federal agencies is also documented in this plan. The
Preparedness section also provides brief explanations of other hazard mitigation related documents;
such as flood and wildfire evacuation plans, a heat wave plan, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, a Points
of Distribution Plan, a Public Health Disaster Plan, a Terrorism/WMD Plan, and a Volunteer
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011 P a g e 114-18
Management Plan. Preparing and educating the public is deemed a responsibility of the American
Red Cross, Los Gatos CERT, and Santa Clara County Fire Department in this section of the plan.
Los Gatos also holds an annual public outreach campaign called Los Gatos prepared, which is
designed to inspire the public to be ready for an earthquake. Methods to protect vital records by
using a backup system are documented in this section of the plan.
Response - The Response section of Los Gatos' EOP defines three levels of emergency that can be
declared in the town and describes when the EOP and/or Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) are
activated. The location and functions of the EOCs in Los Gatos are listed in this section.
Recovery - The mitigation aspect of recovery operations is critical in reducing or eliminating disaster
related property damage and loss of lives from reoccurring. The immediate post-disaster period
presents a rare opportunity for mitigation. During this time, officials and citizens are more
responsive to mitigation recommendations, and unique opportunities to rebuild or redirect
development may be available. Recovery plans would benefit from addressing mitigation planning
as part of the recovery process. Changes in building codes, variances or set -backs in construction,
zoning (to reduce types of construction in high hazard areas), and relocation or removal of structures
from high hazards zones are some forms of mitigation that may aid in hazard mitigation in the future.
General Plan
Safety Element
The Safety Element provides goals, policies, and actions intended to protect the community from
risks associated with the effects of seismic and other geologic hazards, urban and wildland fires,
flooding and dam inundation, and emergency preparedness.
In areas that are identified as Very High Fire Hazard Areas on the Town's Wildland Fire Severity
Zone Map the town will provide secondary emergency access that will not increase traffic. Hazard
Areas on the adopted Wildland Fire Severity Zone map demonstrate an acceptable means of
emergency access prior to approval.
• Geologic Hazards, including earthquakes, ground shaking, liquefaction and landslides- Los
Gatos aim to minimize exposure to geologic hazards, including slope instability, subsidence, and
expansive soils, and to seismic hazards including groundsbaking, fault rupture, liquefaction and
landslides.
The town will periodically update geologic, seismic and geotechnical maps. Periodically identify and
retest, if needed, those bridges whose destruction would cause serious access problems after an
earthquake. The town will work with facility owners to periodically ensure that they conduct a study
to evaluate the condition of each building and structure in Town whose use and function are essential
in response to a major earthquake are safe. The Town Code will be amended to reduce the permitted
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011 P age 14 -19
gradient for roads in areas determined to be high risk landslide or fault zones. The town will update
earthquake preparedness information packet in order to, keep it current on an ongoing basis and
develop and implement effective means to disseminate it to Town residents and businesses. Loss
Gatos will create and adopt a Geologic Hazards Checklist to be utilized during the development
review process.
• Urban and Wildland Fire Hazards - Los Gatos will incorporate fire safety precautions as an
integral consideration in planning development. The town will adopt procedures whereby the public
will continually be made aware of the Town's policies regarding safety hazards and be conveniently
supplied with information, including notification of residents of fire emergency plans for their area.
The town will identify the characteristics of the total water supply available in the event of an
emergency. The town is developing evacuation plans for high risk fire hazard areas. In reducing fire
hazards the town will reduce the potential for injuries, damage to property, economic and social
displacement, and loss of life.
• Flood and Inundation Hazards- Los Gatos is reducing the potential for injuries, damage to
property, economic and social displacement, and loss of life resulting from flood hazards. The town
will annually review all areas subject to flooding as identified by FEMA or the State Department of
Water Resources.
The town will adopt floodplain zoning to prevent inappropriate development in areas subject to
flooding.
• Hazardous Materials Management - The town will reduce the potential for injuries, damage to
property, economic and social displacement, and loss of life resulting from hazards related to
hazardous materials. The town has and will continue to identify businesses within the Los Gatos area
that use or store hazardous materials.
• Emergency Preparedness, Response and Recovery- Los Gatos will reduce the potential for
injuries, damage to property, economic and social displacement, and loss of life resulting from
emergencies. The town will adopt specific design criteria for street identification signs, including
street names and numbers in rural areas, and change existing signs to comply. The town will create
and update as needed a pamphlet an outline to encourage disaster preparedness for neighborhoods
and make it available to all residents at Town Hall. The town will regularly update the Town's
Emergency Management Plan and make available to distribute to residents and businesses.
The town will provide adequate fire protection and emergency medical response services to Town
residents. It will promote coordination between land use planning and fire protection. Los Gatos will
reduce the potential for injuries, damage to property, economic and social displacement, and loss of
life resulting from crime. The town will promote the coordination between land use planning and law
enforcement.
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011 P a g e 114-20
Land Use Element
The General Plan is to act as a constitution for developing, the foundation upon which all land use
decisions are to be based. Land use decisions encompass not only zoning, but circulation, design,
open space, and other factors. The General Plan is a policy document to assist and guide local
decision makers.
Road systems shall be designed to provide reliable access to remote areas both for access by
emergency vehicles and egress by residents fleeing from a disaster.
Los Gatos aims to acquire open space areas within the Town of Los Gatos, particularly lands which
provide recreational uses and will protect the public health, welfare, and safety of residents and
visitors, including lands in flood plains, watershed lands, or lands subject to fire or geologic hazards.
Housing Element
Presently being updated.
Floodplain Management Plan
The Town of Los Gatos has found that flood hazard areas within their jurisdiction are subject to
periodic inundation which can result in the loss of life and property, health and safety hazards,
disruption of commerce and governmental services, and public expenditures for flood protection and
relief. The Town has also found that these flood losses are caused by obstructions in areas of special
flood hazard which can increase flood heights and velocities. Therefore, the purpose of the Town's
Flood Hazard Area Regulations is to minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood - control
projects, the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding, prolonged business
interruptions, and damage to public facilities and utilities. The ordinance also ensures that potential
buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard and that those who occupy
property in those areas are held responsible for their actions. A floodplain administer is responsible
for the enforcement of this plan.
To reduce flood losses, the ordinance includes methods and provisions to control the alteration of
natural floodplains, stream channels, and protective barriers; to control filling, grading, dredging and
other development that can increase flood damage; to regulate the construction of flood barriers that
can divert floodwaters or increase flood hazards in other areas; and to require that uses vulnerable to
floods be protected against flood damage at the time of their construction. One of the provisions of
this ordinance is that a development permit must be obtained before construction or development
occurs within any area of special flood hazard, area of flood - related erosion hazard, or area of
mudslide /mudflow. Construction standards, such as anchoring, building with flood resistant
materials, and elevating and floodproofing, are also required. The ordinance enforces that new and
replacement water and sanitary sewage systems should be designed to minimize flood water
infiltration and discharge into flood waters. Since floodways are extremely hazardous due to the
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011
Page 114 -21
velocity of floodwaters, no new construction should be developed in these areas, unless certification
by a registered civil engineer or architect is provided demonstrating that the proposed development
will not increase flood levels. Standards are also included for subdivisions, recreational vehicles,
manufactured homes, as well as for mudslide and flood erosion prone areas.
Capital Improvements Plan
Los Gatos' Capital Improvement Plan identifies numerous projects and associated funds that are
required to maintain the Town's infrastructure and capital improvements. Many of these projects
also help mitigate potential hazards. Street and traffic projects such as street lighting, street striping,
street repair and resurfacing, sidewalk infill, maintenance of bridges and retaining walls all promote
safety for drivers and pedestrians. Utility undergrounding, placing overhead utility lines
underground, is done to improve power reliability, especially in the event of a disaster. Projects that
include the construction and maintenance of storm drains, which may help prevent a utility mishap
and also mitigate flooding, are also included in Los Gatos' CIP. One project that is designed to
reduce risk in the event of an earthquake is the Roberts Road Bridge Replacement. The new bridge
is to be built with utility lines inside the structure and with an increased level of seismic protection.
A new police facility that includes room for an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is also part of
Los Gatos' CIP. The EOC will help the Town be better prepared in the event of a disaster.
14.3.2.4.2 Summary of Ordinances that Support Hazard Mitigation
Table 14 -10: Summary of Ordinances that Support Hazard Mitigation
The Town of Los Gatos identified several ordinances and policies currently utilized for hazard
mitigation in the matrix of regional mitigation strategies prepared by ABAG as part of the 2010 plan
update. Below is a summary of these key ordinances and policies.
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011 P ate 1 14 -22
Emergency Operations Plan
The Emergency Operations was identified as a method for implementing hazard mitigation strategies.
This plan is reviewed as how it pertains to hazard mitigation in the Emergency Operations Plan
section above.
Ordinance 2156
The Ordinance Numbered 2156 is to replace the old set of building and fire codes in the Town of Los
Gatos Municipal Code (Chapters 6 and 9) with the new and updated building and fire codes. These
new codes are adopted by the Town of Los Gatos to be consistent with the State of California and
other local municipalities. One of the key changes in this ordinance is that there are eleven new
building codes the California Building Standards Commission approved, and the local jurisdictions
are required to adopt these codes.
California Building Code and California Fire Code Resolution 2007 -123
This is the resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos making findings for modifying
uniform building and fire codes. The resolution identifies climatic, geological, and topographical
conditions. Due to these climatic, geological, and topographical conditions, mitigation measures are
necessary such as automatic fire suppression systems, communications systems, access to buildings,
seismic protection, safety controls for hazardous materials and other safe guards in order to minimize
the risks to citizens, firefighters, and property resulting from the severity of fire threat and potential
delays in responding to such threats.
Chapter 12 Town of Los Gatos Code— Grading, Erosion and Sediment Control
The purpose of this chapter is to promote and protect the public interest by regulating land
disturbances, landfill and soil storage in connection with the clearing and grading of land for
construction. The intent of this chapter is to establish administrative procedures, minimum standards
of review and implementation and enforcement procedures for the protection and enhancement of the
water quality of watercourses, water bodies and wetlands, natural and manmade, by controlling
erosion, sedimentation, increases in surface runoff and related environmental damage caused by
construction- related activities, and to ensure that the intended use of a graded site is consistent with
the Town general plan, and any specific plans adopted thereto and applicable Town ordinances. This
chapter applies only to private property.
14.3.3 National flood Insurance Program
For decades, the national response to flood disasters was simply to provide disaster relief to flood
victims. Funded by citizen tax dollars, this approach failed to reduce losses and didn't provide a way
to cover the damage costs of all flood victims. To compound the problem, the public generally
couldn't buy flood coverage from insurance companies, because private insurance companies
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011
P a g e 114 -23
consider floods too costly to insure. In the face of mounting flood losses and escalating costs of
disaster relief to U.S. taxpayers, Congress established the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
The goals of the program are to reduce future flood damage through floodplain management, and to
provide people with flood insurance. Community participation in the NFIP is voluntary.
The Town of Los Gatos has participated in the National Flood Insurance Program since 1976. All
residents of the Town are eligible to purchase federal flood insurance. The Town continues to
maintain full compliance with the NFIP.
The Town of Los Gatos assists the Santa Clara Valley Water District in providing background data
needed to update FIRM maps and distributes FIRM map information by telephone and over the
counter to those requesting it. The Town also requires hydraulic studies be performed to identify
location specific floodplain elevations and requires that development be provided outside the
floodplain for areas of concern as shown on FIRM maps. Flood prevention is important to the
community, and Los Gatos will continue to perform NFIP tasks as defined above into the future.
Projects adjacent to 1% annual chance special flood hazard areas identified on FIRM maps are
required to provide hydrologic and hydraulic studies to identify the base flood plain elevation.
Consultants preparing such studies use Town provided GIS topography and aerial photography to
identify drainage basin boundaries and hydrologic characteristics. The Town also requires a field
survey of creek cross sections at the development site. Development approvals then restrict
development to be outside of the identified flood plain.
There are areas of the Town that have little or no storm drain improvements. In these areas, drainage
occurs as overland flow. Many of these areas are within County pockets or recently annexed pockets.
FIRM maps do not identify specific floodplain elevations in these areas and they are difficult to
model.
There have been no issues with community participation in the NFIP program.
14.3.3.1 Community Rating System (CRS)
The CRS is a voluntary part of the National Flood Insurance Program that seeks to coordinate all
flood - related activities, reduce flood losses, facilitate accurate insurance rating, and promote public
awareness of flood insurance by creating incentives for a community to go beyond minimum
floodplain management requirements. The incentives are in the form of insurance premium
discounts. CRS ratings are on a 10 -point scale (from 10 to 1, with 1 being the best rating), with
residents of the community who live within FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) receiving
a 5% reduction in flood insurance rates for every Class improvement in the community's CRS rating.
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011 P a g e 114-24
The Town of Los Gatos has not joined the Community Rating System. Therefore, property owners in
the Town do not receive reduced flood insurance rates. All insurance rates are based on where the
structure is located in FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS). The most recent Digital FIRMS
were adopted by the Town on May 18, 2009.
14.3.3.1 Repetitive Loss Properties
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) insures properties against flooding losses
in the Bay Area through the National Flood Insurance Program
As part of the process to reduce or eliminate repetitive flooding to structures across the United
States, FEMA has developed an official Repetitive Loss Strategy. The purpose behind the
national strategy is to identify, catalog, and propose mitigation measures to reduce flood losses to
the relatively few number of structures that absorb the majority of the premium dollars from the
national flood insurance fund.
A repetitive loss property is defined by FEMA as "a property for which two or more
National Flood Insurancd Program losses of at least $1,000 each have been paid within any 10-
year period since 1978."
The Town of Los Gatos has one repetitive flood loss property. The following is a table summarizing
repetitive losses in the Town. The property in question is located along Shannon Road and has
suffered from flooding as a result of a blocked drainage channel. This drainage channel has been
cleared of trash and obstacles. There has been no flooding experienced since then.

14.4.2 Exposure Analysis
Exposure analyses are used to quantify assets which are "exposed" to risk. This is the first step
towards understanding the complete value of assets at risk to identified hazards. This section includes
an exposure analysis (discussion of assets at risk) for the profiled hazards in Section 4.
Overlay analyses (using GIS) were conducted for the mappable hazards such as wildfire, flood, and
the earthquake related hazards. These analyses compare the location of the critical facilities with the
mapped hazard area (i.e. floodplains, wildfire threat zones, shaking potential areas, etc.) and result in
a listing of which facilities are at most risk to which hazard. Not all hazards are mappable and some
hazards, such as drought, are equally likely throughout the entire County. For these hazards, a
general exposure summary is presented in Section 13.4.2.1.
14.4.21 General Exposure
ABAG's website tt // uake abao ca gov /miti ationAanduse / ) presents the results of the regional
exposure analysis through a searchable online database. Users can view the summaries of land use
and infrastructure exposed to the mappable hazards. This section presents the general summary of
landuse and infrastructure in the Town of Los Gatos. These should be considered at risk to the
hazards of equal likelihood throughout the entire County geography (i.e. drought, extreme heat,
thunderstorm, etc).

14.4.2.2 Critical Facilities Exposure by Hazard
ABAG's website (http: // quake. abag.ca.gov/initigation /cf2010 / ) presents the results of the regional
facilities exposure analysis through a searchable online database. Users can view the summaries of
how many facilities are exposed to the mappable hazards by category: health care facilities, schools,
critical facilities, and bridges/interchanges. For the purposes of developing a Town specific
mitigation strategy, this section identifies which of the Town's critical facilities are located in the
mapped hazard areas.
The complete results from ABAG's exposure analysis are available digitally in an excel spreadsheet
from the Town. A complete printing of these results is included in Los Gatos Attachment 3: Los
Gatos Exposure Analysis.

14.5 MITIGATION ACTIONS
14.5.1 Primary Concerns
Based on the exposure analysis, the most critical facilities in the Town of Los Gatos are at risk of
being impacted by ground shaking. This is the Town's primary concern. Additionally significant
critical facilities are at risk to riverine flooding, wildfire, fault rupture, and dam failure inundation.
The Town is mitigating flood risk on an ongoing basis through the floodplain management plan and
participation in the NFIP. Several first responder facilities are at risk of dam failure inundation and
riverine flooding.
14.5.2 Mitigation Actions
In addition to participating in the Local Planning Team and supporting the implementation of the
prioritized county-wide mitigation actions, the Town of Los Gatos identified the following potential
mitigation actions for implementation within the City.
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011 P a g e I 14A8
Soft -Story Buildings
Action #1: The Town will inventory and map, using GIS, the location of soft -story buildings. The
maps will be available to first responders during emergencies.
Action #2: The Town will also consider developing a retrofit grant program for building owners.
The grant program would be made more possible if the Town is able to secure mitigation grants
through having an adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan. This project would also be consistent with
General Plan Safety Element Policy SAF Policy 1.5, which calls for the Town to provide incentives
for seismic retrofits of structures.
Wildfire
Action #1: The Town will coordinate with Santa Clara County Fire Department to develop and
distribute fire prevention preparedness education information, including evacuation plans for
residents. This project would also be consistent with General Plan Safety Element SAF Action 3.3.
Dam Failure
Action #1: The Town will coordinate with surrounding jurisdictions that are in the inundation area of
the Lexington Reservoir Lenihan Dam to implement a siren warning system.
Action #2: Marketing and public education campaigns for dam failures will also be implemented.
The Town's Emergency Management Team will review the STAPLE/E criteria to evaluate these
identified actions and assign a priority ranking for implementation.
14.6 PLAN MAINTENANCE
The Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department will be responsible for ensuring that
this annex is monitored on an on -going basis. However, the major disasters affecting Los Gatos'
community, legal changes, notices from ABAG (as the lead agency in this process), notices from
Santa Clara County (lead agency for the County-wide Annex), and other triggers will be used as
well. Finally, the Annex will be a discussion/work item on the Town's Emergency Operations
Center agenda each year, and department heads and other emergency preparedness staff, who serve
in the Town's Emergency Operations Center, will focus on evaluating the Annex in light of
technological and political changes that may occur during the year or other significant events. This
group, in collaboration with Santa Clara County, will be responsible for determining if the plan
should be updated.
The Town of Los Gatos is committed to reviewing and updating this plan annex at least once every
five years, as required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The Town's Director of Community
Santa Clara County Hazard Mitigation Plan
March 21, 2011 P a g e 11449
Development will contact ABAG four years after this plan is approved to ensure that ABAG plans to
undertake the plan update process. If so, the Town plans to participate in the multi jurisdictional
plan. If ABAG is unwilling or unable to act as the lead agency in the multi jurisdictional effort,
other agencies will be contacted, including the Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Services.
The jurisdictions within Santa Clara County should continue to work together on updating this multi -
jurisdictional plan.
