EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is to identify the County’s hazards, review and assess past disaster occurrences, estimate the probability of future occurrences and set goals to mitigate potential risks to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural and man-made hazards.

The plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to achieve eligibility and potentially secure mitigation funding through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Mitigation Assistance, Pre-Disaster Mitigation, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs.

All statistical data collected during the development of this plan was obtained in 2015 and 2016.

Riverside County Office of Education’s continual efforts to maintain a disaster-mitigation strategy is on-going. Our goal is to develop and maintain an all-inclusive plan to include all jurisdictions, special districts, businesses and community organizations to promote consistency, continuity and unification.

RCOE’s planning process followed a methodology presented by FEMA and CAL-OES which included conducting meetings with the Operational Area Planning Committee (OAPC) coordinated by Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD) comprised of participating Federal, State and local jurisdictions agencies, special districts, school districts, non-profit communities, universities, businesses, tribes and general public.

The plan identifies vulnerabilities, provides recommendations for prioritized mitigation actions, evaluates resources and identifies mitigation shortcomings, provides future mitigation planning and maintenance of existing plan.

The plan will be implemented upon FEMA approval.

SECTION 1.0 - COMMUNITY PROFILE

1.1 COUNTY MAP

The Riverside County Office of Education (RCOE) jurisdiction spans across the entire County

to include several sites in Imperial County as shown in Figure 1.1.1 below.

1.2 GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE DESCRIPTION

The Riverside County Office of Education (RCOE) provides support services to all educational

agencies in Riverside County, California. The County of Riverside spans over 7,303 square

miles, equal to the size of the state of New Jersey, and shares its borders with the densely

populated Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino, and Imperial Counties.

RCOE’s climate is the same as the County Plan. Temperatures and rainfall for our jurisdiction

are typical of that of the rest of Riverside County. See Figure 1.2.1. Climate Zones and Table

1.2.1. Climate Data for Riverside.

7 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

Riverside County has several freeways and highways that connect the surrounding counties,

Arizona and Mexico. Interstate 15 is a major north–south state highway in Riverside,

connecting San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties. Interstate 215 is at the junction

of Interstate 15 in the city of Murrieta just north of Temecula in southwestern Riverside

County. It then runs north through Menifee and Perris before joining State Route 60 in Moreno

Valley. Interstate 215 splits from State Route 60 in the City of Riverside at State Route 91

where it then travels North in San Bernardino County before terminating at the Interstate 15

Page 9: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60

and Interstate 215, connects Riverside to the west into Los Angeles County and communities

to the east in the Inland Empire and (via Interstate 10) to the Coachella Valley. State Route

91 is a major east–west freeway located entirely within Southern California and serving

several regions of the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Major rail transport lines traverse through Riverside County to include Union Pacific (UP,

Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF). Both provide freight service in Riverside, connecting

the County with major markets in California and the nation. The (SCAG) Southern California

Association of Government’s Regional Transportation Plan estimates train volume on the UP

line between Colton and Indio to be 26 daily. An estimated 28 to 50 trains transited daily on

the Riverside to Atwood portion of the BNSF line.

The Metrolink™ operates within Riverside with its new route which opened in 2016 beginning

in the City of Perris. The 91 Line/Perris Valley Line roughly parallels the 91 Freeway to

downtown Riverside then continues west to destinations in North Orange County and South

Los Angeles County.

1.3 BRIEF HISTORY

On March 11, 1893, California Governor Henry Markham signed the bill that took 7,090 square

miles from San Diego and San Bernardino counties and formed the new County of Riverside.

San Timoteo Canyon Schoolhouse, built as an adobe building in 1856, was distinguished as

the first school in the territory that became Riverside County. The original schoolhouse

accommodated 25 to 40 students from grades one to eight and served the pioneer families, as

well as, the temporary students of work crews on the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Well-documented history of Riverside County schools begins with the establishment of the

county and consequent appointment of Riverside County Superintendent of Schools Lyman

Gregory on May 9, 1893. Gregory’s office in 1893 was located in the original courthouse on

the corner of Eighth and Lime streets in downtown Riverside. During the time of Edward Hyatt

(1903), the new County Courthouse on Main Street was built. At that time, the Superintendent

remained an elected position and was part of county government until it gained fiscal

Page 10: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

9 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

independence in 1975. In the 1980’s, the organization was renamed the Riverside County

Office of Education.

Over the years, as state and federal laws governing public education changed, the duties and

responsibilities of county superintendents and their respective offices changed as well. County

services have always included curricular, financial and credential responsibilities with the

schools in the county, but they began to involve specialized classroom instruction provided

directly by county superintendent’s staff. Today, RCOE provides direct classroom instruction

for some students referred by their school districts, the courts or through mutual agreement

with their parents/guardians in Special Education, Juvenile Hall, Migrant Education,

Community Day School, CalSafe, Head Start, State Preschool, Career Technical Education

and Adult Jail settings.

RCOE is comprised of three components: The elected County Superintendent of Schools, who

serves a four year term of office; the seven elected members of the County Board of Education,

who also serve four year terms of office; and the entire body of employees in the organization—

all of whom are employed directly by the County Superintendent.

RCOE is the fourth largest County Office of Education in the State and has been serving

students throughout Riverside County for more than 124 years. In 2005, RCOE joined the

Riverside County Office of Emergency Services (OES) Operational Area Planning Committee

(OAPC), which provides a forum for the discussion and resolution of regional issues and

problems in an all hazard, multi-disciplinary approach to emergency management.

RCOE offices serve three legally mandated functions:

1. To meet the needs of those students who are outside of the educational programs and

services of their local school districts.

2. To work with the local school districts to ensure they are providing students with the

best educational programs and services possible and remaining financially solvent in

the process.

3. The role of the Board of Education, which is primarily a policy and appellate role. Two

other significant roles played by county offices are recognizing student achievement

10 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

and educator excellence, and providing county-wide educational events that promote a

focus on the success of all students.

1.4 ECONOMY DESCRIPTION

The economy description is the same as the County’s LHMP. In October 2016, the Riverside

area employment, by category, ranked educational and health services 4th overall as shown in

Table 1.4.1. Riverside Area Employment (2016).

Of the top 38 major individual employers within the County of Riverside, 16 are educational

institutions. Since the 2012 LMHP, RCOE’s ranking dropped from the 18th position to the 29th

with 1650 employees. Please see Table 1.4.2. Riverside Major Employers (2016), as shown

below.

11 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

1.5 POPULATION AND HOUSING

In 2016, the population of Riverside County reached over 2.36 million, a population percentage

increase of 7.8% from April 2010, which is larger than the population of 16 states including the

District of Columbia.

The current student population of Riverside County is over 428,489. To support our student

population, there are almost 18,000 classrooms, over 450 public schools, and 23 school

districts. Approximately 61.3% of those students are Hispanic or Latino. See Table 1.5.1.

County Enrollment by Ethnicity for 2015-16 (Primary Enrollment).

12 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

Many of our students in Riverside are limited English speakers. Countywide, a total of all

Language English Learners Students is 88,697 or 20.7%. Of that, 94% or 82,955 are Hispanic

or Latino. See Table 1.5.2. County Enrollment by Ethnicity 2015-16 (English Learners).

As shown in Table 1.5.3. County Enrollment b Ethnicity for 2015-16 (Migrant Education

Students) on page 13 reflects that a small portion of the population is that of students of

migrants, both documented and undocumented.

13 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

RCOE has approximately 1,650 employees that work in one of the eight service divisions under

the Riverside County Superintendent of Schools. The eight divisions are: the Riverside County

Deputy Superintendent of Schools, the Division of Administration and Business Services, the

Division of Government Relations, The Division of Early Childhood Education Services, the

Division of Personnel Services, the Division of Student Programs and Services, the Division of

Educational Services, and the Division of Information Technology Services. Because the

county is so extensive, both of our regional offices (located in Murrieta and Indio) are staffed

with employees from a number of these divisions.

Educational options for RCOE schools include: Community day schools; special day classes;

parenting mothers; correctional education; and, juvenile court schools. Students are also

referred to the RCOE’s Alternative Education (Alt Ed), Special Education (SpEd), and Head

Start schools by local districts, juvenile courts, probation, social services and/or by parent

requests as a result of severe behavioral problems, learning disabilities, teen pregnancy or

motherhood, expulsion, juvenile delinquency, residency in group homes, and/or

homelessness.

Students that are in our Special Education program are unable to function in a regular school

setting due to a severe physical disability, deafness, hard of hearing, blindness, emotional

challenges and requires specialized support including medical equipment due to the nature of

their disabilities. The Riverside County Special Education Local Plan Areas (SELPAs) include

Local Education Agencies (LEA) and Charter Schools throughout Riverside County. The

Inland Regional Center (IRC) provides services to families throughout Riverside and San

Bernardino Counties, including the LEAs and Charter Schools. RCOE directly serves over

8368 students; of which, over 2,100 of those students are classified as Functional or

Accessible Needs (AFN) students.

RCOE’s Head Start Program serves children 0-5 year olds and parenting mothers. With

limitations in the children being able to walk, talk and care for themselves, it is essential that

staff be prepared for evacuating, caring for and possibly transporting large numbers of infants

and toddlers.

technical support and professional development opportunities to (23) school districts

comprised of (4) Elementary Districts; (1) High School District; and (18) Unified School districts

(totaling over (440) K-12 school sites and representing over 427K students, 30K of those

students are classified as special needs students. In addition to providing services to our

districts, RCOE provides support to: (1) Tribal school; (1) State School for the Deaf; (4)

community colleges; and approximately (27) charter schools.

(Note: All data collected during the development of this plan was obtained using 2015/16

statistics from multiple sources).

1.6 BRIEF STATEMENT OF UNIQUE HAZARDS

Over the past 20 years, there have been over (17) Presidential declared disasters and a

significant number of locally declared disasters in Riverside County. Both the County and

RCOE have faced many challenges. RCOE schools and administrative support sites are

located throughout the county and have been impacted in various ways from natural occurring

Page 16: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

15 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

events from high winds, heavy rains, and earthquakes; to human occurring events such as

bomb threats and related gun violence on our campuses. Most recently was the Winter Storms

in January 2017. RCOE did experienced minor damages caused by the excessive rains and

winds due to our effective response teams and pre-storm checklists.

Each year school lockdown and lockouts occur frequently as a result of local police activities

near school sites causing disruption of the school’s schedule.

Throughout Riverside County, the American Red Cross, when activated would utilize a public

school as a shelter site or reception center in support of local events. These activation, do

have the potential to impact the daily operations of the school’s schedule if schools are to

remain open or are still in session.

Since 2012, RCOE has had several hazards that have affected and impacted our schools.

SECTION 2.0 - PLANNING PROCESS

2.1 LOCAL PLANNING PROCESS

Members of the Operational Support Services have met regularly to review and complete the

inventory worksheets using the previous 2012 LHMP as a baseline; the Hazard Identification

Questionnaire; the Jurisdictional Vulnerability Worksheet; and the local jurisdictional Mitigation

Strategies and Goals documents were distributed and reviewed.

In order to promote the RCOE’s LHMP updates, the Riverside County Office of Education’s

Safety – Emergency Preparedness Office works closely with representatives from various

departments via in person meetings, phone calls and emails. To seek representations for the

RCOE LHMP committee, OSS representatives were selected based on their areas of expertise

and invited to attend meetings via email and follow-up meetings.

Meetings were held as part of the Operational Support Services Leadership Meeting as well

as, through email discussions on specific sections of the plan. The RCOE LHMP committee

is comprised of the following:

The Safety, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator

Maintenance and Operations Project Manager

Facility Planner

Facility Project Manager.

The first meeting, a presentation of the current LHMP was presented and appropriate positions

were identified. Subsequent meeting identified mitigation strategies and prioritized said

strategies.

In addition to RCOE’s planning, RCOE representative(s) attended the following outside

agencies LHMP meetings via invites from emails: (See RivCo OA MJLHMP plan for supporting

documents).

SECTION 3.0 – MITIGATION ACTIONS/UPDATES

3.1 UPDATES FROM 2012 PLAN

RCOE has no significant new hazards that have occurred in our jurisdiction that were not

already addressed in the previous LHMP.

3.2 LIST OF COUNTY AND CITY HAZARDS

The smoke and ash from wildfires have occasionally impacted our schools in that students

and staff remain indoors to the extent possible. This has had minimal impact to the academic

instructional program, but has curtailed recess or athletic practices/competitions. While

flooding from adjacent sources has not impacted our schools, on-site storm water has, on

occasion, entered facilities due to clogged or overwhelmed storm drain systems. Earthquakes

have not caused any damage to school district facilities. Extreme weather, namely high heat

days, impact the activities of students similar to the smoke and ash from wildfires.

Insect infestations from bees and wasps occasionally impact our school operations to a

minimal degree. Termite infestations have caused damage to structures, but are generally

addressed via our Integrated Pest Management ( IPM) program.

On several occasions, blackouts have impacted schools, but only momentarily with minimal

effect on the instructional program. In terms of “civil unrest”, on an infrequent basis, student

walkouts and protests have impacted schools to a minor degree.

3.3 NEW HAZARDS OR CHANGES FROM 2012

There are insignificant changes to the hazards identified from the 2012. Some clarifying

adjustments were made to indicate hazards adjacent to rather than in the jurisdiction.

New hazards that RCOE is adding this year focuses on the increasing need for schools to

lockdown at varies stages based on local police activities near school sites, as well as threats

being made using social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) directly towards schools.

The Riverside County Local Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee identified and ranked its

hazards for the 2017 LHMP as shown in Table 3.4.1 on page 24.

25 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

3.4 BRIEF STATEMENT OF UNIQUE HAZARDS

RCOE has experienced a number of different hazards over the past years, including numerous

of earthquakes, energy shortages and severe storms. More increasing is the need for schools

to lockdown at varies stages based on local police activities near school sites as well as threats

made using social media directly towards schools.

SECTION 4.0 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT

4.1 CRITICAL FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURES

Critical and essential facilities are those facilities critical to response and recovery activities

(i.e., life safety and property, and environmental protection) that are vital to the continued

delivery of key jurisdictional services, or that may significantly impact the jurisdiction’s ability

to recover from the disaster. RCOE’s critical and essential facilities are identified as follows:

RCOE Emergency Operations Center (EOC) - Operational Support Services (includes

Maintenance & Operations, and Purchasing section), Fiscal Services, Data Processing and

Network Services, and the County Board of Education. Other jurisdictional critical facilities are

the RCOE school sites.

RCOE critical facilities identified by RCOE’s planning team as important to protect in the event

of a disaster and mapped. These facilities and their services need to be functional after an

event. An inventory of critical facilities is kept by our business and facilities department, as

well as by our insurance carrier. A snapshot of RCOE’s critical facilities and is listed below in

4.4 IDENTIFICATION OF RISKS AND VULNERABILITIES

The Risk Score and Ranking listed below are based on the LHMP Steering Committee’s

findings as shown in Table 3.4.1 on page 21 of this plan. RCOE conducted a hazard and

vulnerability assessment focusing on the human impact (death or injuries); our property

impact (physical losses and damages; and our business impact (interruption of services)

against RCOE’s preparedness, internal response and external response. See APPENDIX A,

Exhibit C, Table 4.4.1 through Table 4.4.5 for RCOE’s assessment.

1. Earthquake

RCOE Risk Score: 7.2 /Ranking: 1

RivCo OA Risk Score: 3.50 / Ranking: 1

Since California was sparsely populated in the 1800s, the detection of pre-instrumental

earthquakes is relatively difficult. However, two very large earthquakes, the Fort Tejon in

1857 (M7.9) and the Owens Valley in 1872 (M7.6) are evidence of the tremendously

damaging potential of earthquakes in Southern California. According to the U.S. Geological

Service, each year Southern California has about 10,000 earthquakes. Riverside has

several known active and potentially active major earthquake fault zones. The County

experiences hundreds of minor quakes and tremblers each month from the myriad of faults

in the area. Of the 190 RCOE sites, 29 are located in an Extremely High Earthquake Risk

Zone, 69 are in a Very High Risk Zone and only 4 are in a Low Risk Zone; no RCOE sites

are located in High or Moderate Zones.

The Riverside County Office of Education is located in a Seismic Hazard Zone. The nearest

active earthquake faults are the Elsinore, San Jacinto, and San Andreas fault zones, all

have high rates of displacement and are rapidly accumulating strain energy to be released

in earthquakes. Jurisdiction has experienced several noticeable ground movement

incidents, such as from the 2005 Chino Hills earthquake, and the 2010 Baja California

earthquake. While there was structural damage to Imperial County schools, there were no

reports of any structural damage to our jurisdiction sites.

Page 32: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

31 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

While no known faults transverse the County, several faults in the county have the potential

to produce seismic impacts. Two of California's most active faults, the San Andreas and

the San Jacinto faults, traverse Riverside County. Both of these faults, as well as the

Elsinore fault zone, have the potential to generate future earthquakes within Riverside

County. In addition to these faults, other earthquake source zones exist outside the County.

Earthquakes can cause loss of life and property, and devastating economic damages.

Because impacts resulting from earthquakes typically extend over a wide area, they can

overwhelm local jurisdictions and hamper the delivery of emergency services. The seismic

hazards that have the greatest potential to severely affect Riverside County are seismic

ground shaking, liquefaction, and surface fault rupture. Secondary hazards such as

seismically induced settlement, seismically induced slope instability, and seiches may also

occur as the result of a significant seismic event.

Earthquakes in Southern California occur as a result of movement between the Pacific and

North American plates. Faults of the San Andreas system are used to mark the boundary

between the plates, but the deformation, faulting, and associated earthquakes occur in a

broadly distributed zone that stretches from offshore to Nevada. Thus, the San Andreas is

one of a system of plate-bounding faults. Most of the movement between the plates occurs

along the San Andreas Fault, which bisects Riverside County. The rest of the motion is

distributed among northwest-trending, strike-slip faults of the San Andreas system

(principally the San Jacinto, Elsinore, Newport-Inglewood, and Palos Verdes faults),

several east-trending thrust faults that bound the Transverse Ranges, and the Eastern

Mojave Shear Zone (a series of faults east of the San Andreas, responsible for the 1992

Landers and the 1999 Hector Mine earthquakes).

In September of 2016, the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to issue an

earthquake advisory following a swarm of earthquakes in Bombay Beach of the Salton

Sea, south of where the San Andreas Fault ends noting that the probability of additional

earthquakes reaching a 4.3 magnitude or higher.

The event with the greatest probability of occurrence in 30 years (43 percent) is a maximum

magnitude (Mw) 6.9 rupture of the San Jacinto Valley segment of the San Jacinto fault. The

Page 33: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

32 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

San Jacinto event is considered the maximum probable event (MPE) for Riverside County.

See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5 for additional information.

2. Extreme Weather- Heat/Wind/Cold

RCOE Risk Score: 3.3 / Ranking: 3

RivCo OA Risk Score: 0.75 / Ranking: 13

Heat

The County and its cities have established cooling station sites and are activated with

temperatures are extreme. RCOE maintains a current list of these stations provided by

Riverside Community Action Partnership (CAP). Upon opening of a cooling station site,

our agency receives the notification and is then re-posted on our website and sent via email

to all staff and students. See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5 for additional

information.

Extreme Winds

The Santana Winds or Santa Ana Winds occur at the beginning the month of October

through February and impacts the entire County. The original spelling of the of name of

the winds is unclear, not to mention the origin. Although the winds have been commonly

called Santa Ana Winds or Santa Anas, many argue that the original name is Santana

Winds or Santanas. Both versions of the name have been used. The name Santana Winds

is said to be traced to Spanish California when the winds were called Devil Winds due to

their heat. The “Santa Ana” term was said to be used by an Associated Press

correspondent stationed in Santa Ana who mistakenly began using Santa Ana Winds

instead of Santana Winds in a 1901 dispatch.

The winds begin with dry air moving in from the interior of the U.S. towards Southern

California. These wind gusts can exceed 100 knots. This threat imposes health risks

related primarily to breathing problems caused by dust and plant pollen; trees to fall, power

lines to arc; and an increase of wildfires to spread rapidly. Tornados and Micro-bursts

frequently occur during thunderstorms. Since January 2005, seven tornadoes have caused

Page 34: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

33 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

damaged to the community. In May of 2008, two F1 tornadoes struck near Riverside

County Office of Education sites. Prior to 2012, as a result of the extreme winds, RCOE

sites sustained over $40K in damages and debris clean-up. Currently, 15 RCOE sites are

located in an Extremely High Risk area (Tornado Alley) 7 are located in a High Risk area.

Wind Erosion

Wind erosion damages land and natural vegetation by removing soil from one place and

depositing it in another. It mostly affects dry, sandy soils in flat, bare areas, but wind erosion

may occur wherever soil is loose, dry, and finely granulated. It causes soil loss, dryness,

deterioration of soil structure, nutrient and productivity losses, air pollution, and sediment

transport and deposition. The presence of dust particles in the air is a source of several

major health problems. Atmospheric dust causes respiratory discomfort, may carry

pathogens that cause eye infections and skin disorders, and reduces highway and air traffic

visibility. Buildings, fences, roads, crops, trees and shrubs can all be damaged by blowing

soil, which acts as an abrasive.

Wind and windblown sand are an environmentally limiting factor throughout much of

Riverside County. Approximately 20 percent of the land area of the County is vulnerable to

high and very high wind erosion susceptibility. The Coachella Valley, the Santa Ana River

channel, and areas in the vicinity of the City of Hemet have been identified as zones of high

wind erosion susceptibility.

Windblown sand is a well-recognized hazard for developments in the Coachella Valley. The

primary source of sand in the Coachella Valley is the Whitewater River. Increases in the

amount of windblown sand are related to episodic flooding of the Whitewater River. A 15-

fold increase in wind erosion rates in the Coachella Valley has been documented following

heavy flood events. Therefore, mitigation of windblown sand is directly related to mitigation

of flood potential on the Whitewater River.

Because windblown sand from the Whitewater River floodplain provides a large component

of the sand that sustains dune fields that, in turn, sustain several endangered species,

erosion intervention efforts must be cautiously considered.

34 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

In 2007, RCOE sustained damaged on a under construction school site due to the high

winds blowing dirt into the building resulting in the removal and reinstalling of the new

ceiling tiles & fiberglass installation and debris removal. See Riverside County OA MJHMP

Section 5 for additional information.

3. Wild Fire

RCOE Risk Score: 2.6 / Ranking: 2

RivCo OA Risk Score: 2.25 / Ranking: 3

Since 1993, Riverside County (RC) has reported over 50 wildfires, four of which were

federal declared disasters. RC’s largest reported wildfire burned was over 52,000 acres

and within a span of 15 years over 150,753 acres of property were devastated. That same

fire necessitated the evacuation of a moderate security Riverside County Office of

Education’s Alternative Education site. In 2007, 24 wildfires driven by powerful 70+ MPH

Santa Ana winds spread across Southern California from Santa Barbara County to the

Mexico Border. The fires burned over 522,000 acres, destroying more than 3,290

structures and damaging 292 others. One Riverside County Office of Education’s site

sustained over $45K in damages and debris clean-up. RC set-up many evacuation centers

to support the 250K evacuees forced from the 4 surrounding counties. In November 2008,

on the RC and OC border 30,305 acres burned, destroyed about 200 structures and forced

the evacuation of about 7,000 homes utilizing our schools as evacuation sites.

Smoke hazards associated with Wildfires

Smoke is composed primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, carbon monoxide, particulate

matter, hydrocarbons and other organic chemicals, nitrogen oxides, trace minerals and

several thousand other compounds. The actual composition of smoke depends on the fuel

type, the temperature of the fire, and the wind conditions. Different types of wood and

vegetation are composed of varying amounts of cellulose, lignin, tannins and other

polyphenolics, oils, fats, resins, waxes and starches, which produce different compounds

when burned.

Page 36: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

35 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

Another pollutant of concern during smoke events is carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide

is a colorless, odorless gas, produced by incomplete combustion of wood or other organic

materials. Carbon monoxide levels are highest during the smoldering stages of a fire. Other

air pollutants, such as acrolein, benzene, and formaldehyde, are present in smoke, but in

much lower concentrations than particulate matter and carbon monoxide.

The effects of smoke range from eye and respiratory tract irritation to more serious

disorders, including reduced lung function, bronchitis, exacerbation of asthma, and

premature death. Studies have found that fine particles are linked (alone or with other

pollutants) with increased mortality and aggravation of pre-existing respiratory and

cardiovascular disease. In addition, particles are respiratory irritants, and exposures to high

concentrations of particulate matter can cause persistent cough, phlegm, wheezing and

difficulty breathing. Particles can also affect healthy people, causing respiratory symptoms,

transient reductions in lung function, and pulmonary inflammation. Particulate matter can

also affect the body’s immune system and make it more difficult to remove inhaled foreign

materials from the lung, such as pollen and bacteria. The principal public health threat from

short-term exposures to smoke is considered to come from exposure to particulate matter.

Wildfire smoke also contains significant quantities of respiratory irritants. Formaldehyde

and acrolein are two of the principal irritant chemicals that add to the cumulative irritant

properties of smoke, even though the concentrations of these chemicals individually may

be below levels of public health concern.

Sensitive Population

Most healthy adults and children will recover quickly from smoke exposures and will not

suffer long-term consequences. However, certain sensitive populations may experience

more severe short-term and chronic symptoms from smoke exposure. Much of the

information about how particulate matter affects these groups has come from studies

involving airborne particles in cities, though a few studies examining the effects of exposure

to smoke suggest that the health effects of wildfire smoke are likely to be similar.

Individuals with asthma and other respiratory diseases

Page 37: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

36 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

Levels of pollutants that may not affect healthy people may cause breathing difficulties for

people with asthma or other chronic lung diseases. Asthma, derived from the Greek word

for panting, is a condition characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways, with

intermittent bronchial constriction and airflow obstruction, causing shortness of breath,

wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, sometimes accompanied by excess phlegm

production. During an asthma attack, the muscles tighten around the airways and the lining

of the airways becomes inflamed and swollen, constricting the free flow of air. Because

children’s airways are narrower than those of adults, irritation that would create minor

problems for an adult may result in significant obstruction in the airways of a young child.

Children, even those without any pre-existing illness or chronic conditions, are considered

a sensitive population because their lungs are still developing, making them more

susceptible to air pollution than healthy adults. Several factors lead to increased exposure

in children compared with adults: they tend to spend more time outside; they engage in

more vigorous activity, and they inhale more air (and therefore more particles) per pound

of body weight. Studies have shown that particulate pollution is associated with increased

respiratory symptoms and decreased lung function in children, including symptoms such

as episodes of coughing and difficulty breathing. These can result in school absences and

limitations of normal childhood activities. See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5 for

additional information.

4. Pandemic Influenza

RCOE Risk Score: 1.9 / Ranking: 4

RivCo OA Risk Score: 3.50 / Ranking: 2

Epidemics of influenza typically occur during the winter months and have been responsible for

an average of approximately 36,000 deaths per year in the United States during 1990–1999.

Influenza viruses also can cause pandemics, during which rates of illness and death from

influenza-related complications can increase dramatically worldwide. Influenza viruses cause

disease among all age groups. Rates of infection are highest among children, but rates of

serious illness and death are highest among persons aged > 65 years and persons of any age

who have medical conditions that place them at increased risk for complications from influenza.

Page 38: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

37 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

The 1918 Spanish flu is an example of a worst-case scenario because the strain was highly

contagious and quite deadly. This pandemic killed more Americans than all the wars of the

20th century. Since our world today is vastly more populated, and people travel the globe with

ease, the spread of a next pandemic could be more rapid than that of previous pandemics.

The impact of a pandemic is not measured only by how many people will die. If millions of

people get sick at the same time, major social consequences will occur. If many doctors and

nurses become ill, it will be difficult to care for the sick. If the majority of a local police force is

infected, the safety of the community might be at risk. If air traffic controllers are all sick at

once, air travel could grind to a halt, interrupting not only business and personal travel, but also

the transport of life-saving vaccines or antiviral drugs. Therefore, a vital part of pandemic

planning is the development of strategies and tactics to address all these potential problems.

The Riverside University Health System, Public Health estimates the impact of an infectious

disease to this county would include as many as 10,000 people requiring hospitalization and

approximately 2,000 deaths. A primary source for the rapid spread of the infection would be

in our schools, with over 27% of Riverside County’s population being students. Persons with

underlying medical conditions, children and the elderly are at an increased risk for developing

complications. In 2009, Public Health confirmed over 2,500 cases of Influenza with a mortality

rate of 30. Five public schools were temporally ordered closed by the County Public Health

Officer. Due to the close proximity to the U.S. Mexico Border (40 miles), our migrant population

travels between the two countries based upon the agricultural seasons. This transitory

population creates a high risk for the spread of diseases from third world countries. The dense

population and close proximity of Southern California cities will have significant impact in an

infectious disease situation; social isolation or quarantine will be extremely difficult to manage

and control. In contrast, eastern RC contains remote rural communities that have limited

resources and logistical challenges during a response effort. See Riverside County OA

MJHMP Section 5 for additional information.

5. Flood

RCOE Risk Score: 1.5 / Ranking: 6

RivCo OA Risk Score: 1.13 / Ranking: 9

Flood-Heavy rain can lead to problems with storm drainage and create localized flood

problems. There are no major areas of concern for our jurisdiction as all of our

critical facilities are located in areas of low hazard flooding. See Riverside County OA

MJHMP Section 5 for additional information.

6. Hazardous Materials Incident

RCOE Risk Score: 1.5 / Ranking: 7

RivCo OA Risk Score: - 0.75 / Ranking: 22

Hazardous materials are present in both the rural and urban areas of Riverside County in

permanent storage locations, roadway and railway transport systems, long-distance

pipelines, and at various industrial and agricultural application sites. Chemicals are often

transported through RC to and from the ports of Los Angeles and San Diego. Located 25

miles from Riverside County in Orange County is the San Onofre Nuclear Generating

Station (SONGS), which shut down its operations in January of 2012.

Currently, SONGS has been storing all its nuclear waste onsite. Under the new White

House Administration’s pick to head the Department of Energy, is seeking a permanent

solution of the 3.6 million pounds of nuclear waste that remains on the SONGS site to

relocate the waste to Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Other possible storage sites include west

Texas or eastern New Mexico. All of which would use major highways throughout Riverside

County should the relocation of the SONGS nuclear waste be approve.

Much of the county falls within the flight path to and from LA/Ontario International airport.

Riverside County houses March Air Reserve Base where the potential for a hazardous

materials incident exists, especially with respect to military operations. 5 Riverside County

Office of Education sites fall within flight paths of several airports and 8 are within 5000 feet

of an airport or pathway. See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5 for additional

information.

7. Drought

RCOE Risk Score: 1.5 / Ranking: 8

RivCo OA Risk Score: 1.13 / Ranking: 11

After the state’s most recent drought in 2007-09, the governor declared a state of

emergency in Riverside County after severe, prolonged drought conditions caused an

estimated $4 million in crop damage and reduced public water supplies. 2010 marked a

return to slightly wetter than average conditions. In 2012, Riverside began to notably see

a return of the drought. Recent concerns about the effects of climate change, particularly

drought, are contributing to concerns about wildfire vulnerability. The term drought is

applied to a period in which an unusual scarcity of rain causes a serious hydrological

imbalance. Unusually dry winters, or significantly less rainfall than normal, can lead to

relatively drier conditions and leave reservoirs and water tables lower. Drought leads to

problems with irrigation and may contribute to additional fires, or additional difficulties in

fighting fires.

In 2015, California experienced its lowest snowpack in at least 500 years; from 2012 to

2015 was the driest in at last 1,200 years. However, the winter of 2016–17 was the wettest

ever recorded in Northern California, surpassing the previous record set in 1982–83. In

February, Shasta, Oroville and Folsom Lakes were simultaneously dumping water into the

ocean for flood control. Lake Oroville flowed over the emergency spillway for the first time

in 48 years. After more than five years of drought conditions, in February of 2017, California

was listed as being almost 47 percent in drought. With the winter storms of 2017, California

has seen above-average precipitation and snowpack. On April 7, 2017, Gov. Jerry Brown

issued Executive Order B-40-17, officially ending the drought state of emergency in all

California counties. See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5 for additional information.

Rails

Major rail transport lines through Riverside County include Union Pacific and the Burlington

Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway Companies. Both provide freight service in Riverside,

connecting the County with major markets in California and the nation. The (SCAG) Southern

California Association of Government’s Regional Transportation Plan estimates train volume

on the UP line between Colton and Indio to be 26 daily. An estimated 28 to 50 trains transit

daily on the Riverside to Atwood portion of the BNSF line. Rails, cars, supporting bridges,

overpasses, and electrically operated switching mechanisms are susceptible to damage and

could pose a threat to near our jurisdiction. 23 RCOE sites are at High Risk of being affected

by a rail line disaster (23 sites are within 5000 feet of the rail lines). See Riverside County OA

MJHMP Section 5 for additional information.

Highways

Along with the potential for death and injuries from large-scale motor vehicle accidents, there

is the potential for hazardous material spills or fires as numerous commercial transportation

vehicles travel the highways and freeways with various types and quantities of hazardous

materials. Interstates 10, 15 and 215, and State Highways, 60 and 91 are all heavily traveled

by trucks and are high congestion freeways and are thoroughfares to and from Los Angeles,

San Diego and Orange counties and Mexico; one out of every ten trucks on the freeway carries

some sort of hazardous material.

Major rail transport lines through Riverside County include Union Pacific and the Burlington

Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway Companies. Both provide freight service in Riverside,

connecting the County with major markets in California and the nation. Large quantities and

numerous types of hazardous materials are transported through the jurisdiction by rail on a

daily basis. The (SCAG) Southern California Association of Government’s Regional

Transportation Plan estimates train volume on the UP line between Colton and Indio to be 26

daily. An estimated 28 to 50 trains transited daily on the Riverside to Atwood portion of the

BNSF line. Rails, cars, supporting bridges, overpasses, and electrically operated switching

mechanisms are susceptible to damage and could pose a threat to our jurisdiction.

Large quantities of hazardous materials are used by the agricultural industry and thus travel

through the jurisdiction and are stored and used in the surrounding areas (23 sites are within

2000 feet of rail lines and 6 sites are within 2000 feet of our major transportation highways.

See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5 for additional information.

9. Gangs

RCOE Risk Score: 0.9 / Ranking: 11

RivCo OA Risk Score: N/A / Ranking: N/A

Riverside County has about 474 active street gangs with ties to Mexico and Central

America. In 2008, the Governor of California named Riverside County 1 of 22 counties as

“High-Intensity Area” for gangs. RCOE Alt Ed students are at the highest level of the

spectrum of at-risk youth defined as “at-greater risk” by the state of California and the Office

of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. At greater-risk behaviors include violence,

alcohol, tobacco and drug use, threats, interpersonal difficulties and/or criminal acts.

Incidents at schools ranged from possession of drugs and weapons to bomb threats.

School lockdowns have increased at RCOE sites as a result of outside intruders in the area

or directly on our campuses.

10. Pipelines Disruption

RCOE Risk Score: 0.9 / Ranking: 19

RivCo OA Risk Score: -0.38 / Ranking - 20

The term “pipeline” relates to natural gas, petroleum, and aviation fuel lines. Besides the

impact of an earthquake on these systems, the second greatest concern for these pipelines

is damage caused by contractors digging in the area where there are pipes. Although

there are methods in place ways for contractors to become aware of the locations of

pipelines, many of the incidents have been as a direct result of a contractor’s digging or

excavating. The specific number and locations of the various high pressure natural gas,

aviation, and fuel lines are known by public safety responders, however the specific

locations and descriptions are restricted as Law Enforcement Sensitive by Department of

Page 43: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

42 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

Homeland Security requirements. See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5 for

additional information.

Natural Gas Lines

Traversing the City are several high pressure natural gas lines. These natural gas lines

are classified into two categories:

Local distribution lines

These lines are designed to provide natural gas into the community for residential and

commercial use. These lines usually run down the middle of the street and can be located

within the general vicinity of a school, railroad track, or freeway. These pipes are generally

the cause of the pipeline incidents in the City when they are broken by someone digging

in the street. These lines are both cast iron and the new plastic lines.

Aviation and Petroleum Lines

Many of the petroleum lines traversing the City start in the refinery areas in Los Angeles

County and provide petroleum projects to the various commercial distribution tank farms

and rail centers both locally and out of state. These pipelines range from 6” to 14” in size.

In some instances, these pipelines are within the general vicinity of a school, railroad track,

or freeway. The Kinder/Morgan pipeline runs from Jurupa through the City of

Riverside to March Air Base (AB). The line is 14.53 miles in length and carries

Jet fuel and refined petroleum.

Riverside County pipelines include systems for water, natural gas, and petroleum based

products; most cross the San Andreas Fault. A major pipeline carrying natural gas parallels

Interstate 10 and Highway 60 throughout the County. Of particular interest are the aviation

fuel tanks and pipelines located at March Air Reserve Base. A total of 8 RCOE sites are

within 1500 feet of a major pipeline. See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5 for

additional information.

RCOE partners with the cities within our jurisdiction, as well as with the County Emergency

Management Department. RCOE has a seat at the County EOC when activated as the County

School Liaison Officer. RCOE has established emergency communication and response

protocols with law enforcement and fire departments. RCOE also cooperates with the

American Red Cross to assist in establishing emergency shelter space when requested.

Page 49: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

48 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

RCOE has engaged its staff by providing Emergency Preparedness presentations:

Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) program; providing fire extinguisher

training; search and rescue use; radio communication orientation; and basic organizational

skills.

RCOE is an active member of the Operational Area Planning Committee and several its

subcommittees. Through the City of Riverside’s Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), RCOE

has completed 12 security site assessments that were conducted to gather important

information about our facilities that can be utilized by law enforcement, fire, paramedics, and

other emergency services agencies during a natural, human-caused, or technical crisis event.

These site assessments are being used to make appropriate agency decision to consider and

implementing security enhancements that may potential mitigate vulnerabilities related to

identified hazards and /or adversarial actions.

RCOE’s partnership with the Riverside County Information Tech (RCIT) Division has allowed

our agency to expand our communication efforts throughout the county to our sites. Under

the command & control of RCIT communication center, RCOE has an interoperable radio

system which can now allow public safety agencies (Fire, Law, Public Health) through dispatch

have direct communication to any of our schools or administration office throughout Riverside

County.

Coordinating with the National Weather Services (NWS); the South Coast Air Quality

Management District (SCAQMD); and the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District

(ICAPCD), RCOE has established a “Climate Advisory” email notification system to RCOE

sites during times of excessive smog or high temperatures. Students that are medical fragile

are restricted from excessive physical activities. In extreme conditions, activities such as

recess, practices and athletic competitions may be curtailed.

In 2017, through InfraGard Los Angeles (IGLA), RCOE joined the Educational Sector Board of

Advisors, representing Riverside County schools to address the school safety needs of K-12

schools within IGLA’s area of responsibility in identifying the top threats impacting the

surrounding counties. This advisor group has created vulnerability assessments, developed

active shooter policies and procedures, planned inter-agency exercises, and sponsored

6.5 FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

RCOE has very few sources of funds that could be applied to hazard mitigation activities.

Essentially, any remediation would need to come from insurance coverage. Generally,

Unrestricted General Funds are available. Nearly all other sources of revenue are restricted

and cannot be applied.

RCOE has done the following mitigation actions since the approval of the 2012 LHMP:

(Communication Failure Hazard). Increased the level of communication interoperability.

RCOE joined the Public Safety Enterprise Communication (PSEC) system, a

countywide digital trunked radio system, and outfitted our “stand alone” sites and

operational support response teams with the digital radios. This system not only has

expanded our radio coverage throughout the county, it has the capability for public

safety agencies to interface with the schools if needed.

o Conducts monthly radio roll call to all RCOE sites to ensure radio operability and

connectivity.

o Incorporated radio communication protocols to the RCOE EOP’s Annex C

(Communication Plan).

Enhance the radio communications from analog to digital for our site radio system at

the RCOE’s Main buildings. Allowing for radio communications on all 4 floors including

the basement from our operations center located approximately a 0.5 miles away.

o Conducts monthly radio call to the RCOE facilities’ (6 buildings) emergency floor

coordinators.

o Incorporated radio communication protocols to the RCOE EOP’s Annex C

(Communication Plan),

Participate with the California Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills annually and validate

existing School Safety Plans.

Utilize mapping tools on California Emergency Management Agency and Federal

Emergency Management Agency websites to assess facilities in the earthquake, fire

and flooding zones.

Utilize the California Common Operating Picture (Cal COP) Watchboard to view social

media activities surrounding our schools.

Developed and implemented a wellness program to prevent spread of disease and

illnesses. Update current RCOE Pandemic Plan (Annex J) and supporting annexes.

Conduct a functional exercise with districts schools and Public Health to identify both

best practices and areas of improvement with communicating during the heighten

disease surveillance phase.

To reduce the impact of potential fire/wind damage to our campuses, RCOE will

continue the practice of removing dead trees and weed abatement in our high risk areas.

Established partnerships with neighboring communities, local government and

Community Action Partnership (CAP) for emergency preparedness and severe weather

plans for extreme heat/cold.

RCOE has established an “Unhealthy Air Alert and Excessive Heat Alert” notification

system to schools during times of excessive smog or high temperature.

Update RCOE site infrastructure assessments using the California Common Operating

Picture (Cal COP) for threat awareness layered with real-time, man-made,

technological, and natural hazard threat information to create a common threat

Page 56: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

55 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

awareness picture; data sharing to all public safety agencies through the City of

Riverside Urban Area Security Initiative (RUASI).

Under the City of Riverside Urban Area Security Initiative (RUASI) has conducted

security and threat site assessments of RCOE’s regional learning centers,

administrative buildings and our School of Career Education sites to identify our schools

security and human threat vulnerabilities.

To promote “closed campuses”, RCOE is updating and installing new video surveillance

cameras on our sties. In addition, RCOE is installing additional barriers “fencing” and

securing external doors with badge-access pads to control access into our buildings.

Mitigation drought actions by accessing RCOE’s vulnerability to drought risk and have

begun to enhance RCOE’s landscaping and design by introducing drought tolerant

plants; applying mulch around shrubs and flower beds to reduce evaporation; conduct

water audits of our sites; and detect and repair leaks.

7.3 ON-GOING MITIGATION STRATEGY PROGRAMS

RCOE coordinates with multiple cities and agencies throughout Riverside County in the

creation/update of our LHMP Annex. The cooperation and discussions both in regional

meetings, community outreach and internal meetings allow for both “big picture” and “local

jurisdiction” views of mitigation needs and possibilities.

The planning team for RCOE will identify and prioritize the following mitigation actions based

on the risk assessment. Background information and information on how each action will be

implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible office, partners,

potential funding, estimated cost and schedules.

pre-recorded messages and manual messages can be made and accessed via either

a standalone central system, through the existing VoIP phone system and/or through a

web interface.

7.4 FUTURE MITIGATION STRATEGIES

The Deferred Maintenance Plan (2017 -2018) was prepared by the Maintenance &

Operation Department in 2016. RCOE’s deferred maintenance program for the 5 year

period totals over $12,997,170.00. The deferred maintenance plan generally does not

include projects that would be directly related to Hazard Mitigation. However, these

deferred maintenances do reflect hazard mitigations.

Building Exteriors: This deferred maintenance provides building integrity which

includes painting wood and metal structures to decrease wood rot or metal from

rusting; caulking window frames and installing/replacing door sweeps to prevent

pest from entering the building.

Routine Roof Repair. This decrease the vulnerability of leaks and potential

flooding to our sites which could cause damage to office furniture, computers and

equipment

Paving: The upgrade of paving RCOE’s parking areas and access roads

decrease the vulnerability of both road and soil erosion that could impact the city

and or county’s storm drains or run-off to our facilities

HVAC system: The upgrade and maintenance of our HVAC system provides

regulated temperatures inside our facilities during extreme heat and cold-related

Page 61: LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN · 8 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017 interchange just South of the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County. Both State Route 60 and Interstate 215,

60 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

hazards which could damage office equipment or impact the continuity of

operations from affected staff.

RCOE’s has taken an aggressive approach to avoid deferring maintenance projects that

would increase risk during disasters. A summary of RCOE’s 5-year plan is shown below

in Table 7.4.1. Riverside County Office of Education’s 5-Year Deferred Maintenance

Plan. Please note the listing of RCOE’s individual sites and specific project information

is not included in this document. It is available, upon request from the Operational

Support Services, Maintenance & Operations.

63 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

Post plan for Public Review and Comment

Review Federal, State, Local and District regulations, policies and ordinances to ensure

compliance.

8.3 PLAN MAINTENANCE AND UPDATES

RCOE will monitor and evaluate our LHMP on an ongoing basis. However, every 5-year period,

the plan will be officially updated and adopted by the RCOE Board of Education. Every fourth

year after adoption of the plan, RCOE will begin its process to review and develop a new plan to

be submitted for consideration in the RivCo OA MJLHMP.

The LHMP will be updated based upon:

The goals and objectives address current and expected conditions.

The nature, magnitude, and/or type of risks have changed.

The current resources are appropriate for implementing the plan.

There are implementation problems, such as technical, political, legal, or coordination

issues with other agencies.

The outcomes have occurred as expected (a demonstration of progress).

The agencies and other partners participated as originally proposed.

The deficiencies identified during actual emergency situations and/or during an exercise.

When changes in the threat hazards, resources or capabilities increase or decrease.

The LHMP and its supporting must be revised or updated by a formal change annually. The

responsibility for revising or updating the LHMP is assigned to the Emergency Preparedness

Coordinator

The RCOE, Operational Support Services’ Emergency Preparedness Coordinator or designee is

responsible for distributing all revised and/or updated planning documents to all departments,

agencies, and individuals tasked in those documents. Upon discovery or if any changes have

occurred during the evaluation of the LHMP, RCOE will update the LHMP Revision Page, and

notify the County of Riverside OES to update our Annex.

SECTION 9.0 - INCORPORATION INTO EXISTING PLANNING MECHANISMS

RCOE abides by all state architecture, education, and ADA requirements as well as local codes.

This plan will be incorporated into the RCOE Safe School Action Plan and is updated annually.

Mitigation is most successful when it is incorporated within the day-to day functions and priorities

of RCOE. When possible, plan participants will use existing plans and/or programs to implement

hazard mitigation actions. Specific hazard mitigation elements will be evaluated and

incorporated into the list of facilities needs of each sites. Ultimately, the Governing Board will

approve this plan for eligibility. This plan covers all safety aspects of RCOE to include

emergency response and recovery actions.

RCOE has several planning mechanisms which incorporate the following:

California Education Codes (17260-17268, 17340-17343)

Code of Regulations, Title 5 Section 140306

Building and Safety Codes

South Coast Air Quality Management District – Air Quality Management Plan

Health and Safety Codes

Penal Codes

RCOE Administrative Regulations and Policies which includes:

o Energy and Water Management

o Environmental Safety

o Campus Security

o Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Plan

o Facilities Inspection

Comprehensive Safety Plans- which includes:

o RCOE Emergency Operation Plans

o RCOE School Site Emergency Operation Plans

o RCOE Continuity of Operation Plans

65 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN JUNE 2017

RCOE has an “All-Hazard” Annex in its Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) that includes a

discussion on fire, earthquake, flooding, and landslide hazards. In addition, RCOE enforces the

requirements of the California Educational Codes which outlines the requirement for schools.

RCOE has used these pre-existing programs as a basis for identifying gaps that may lead to

disaster vulnerabilities in order to work on ways to address these risks through mitigation.

RCOE’s Basic Emergency Operation Plan is flexible and incorporates both functional and threat

or hazard specific annexes that specifically address both emergency response, coordination and

recovery activities.

All RCOE school sites have an individual school site EOP that supports RCOE EOP and its

Annexes. A complete list of RCOE ANNEXES is as follows:

ANNEX A Direction and Control Plan ANNEX M Transportation Plan

ANNEX B Warning Plan ANNEX N Resources Plan

ANNEX C Communication ANNEX O Security/Law Enforcement Plan

ANNEX D Incident Command Post (ICP) Activation Plan

ANNEX P Terrorist Incident Response Plan

ANNEX E Limited Fire Suppression Plan ANNEX Q Coordination with Emergency

Services Plan

ANNEX F First Aid Plan ANNEX R Student/Parent Reunification

ANNEX G Light Search and Rescue Plan ANNEX S Hazard Assessment

ANNEX H Evacuation Plan ANNEX T Functional and Assessable

ANNEX I Lockout/ Lockdown and Sheltering-in-Place Plan

ANNEX U Emergency Public Information

ANNEX J Pandemic Plan ANNEX V Recovery Plan

ANNEX K All-Hazards Incidents Plan ANNEX W Operational Support Plan

ANNEX L Department Operation Center (DOC) Activation Plan

ANNEX X Food Defense Plan

RCOE School Advisory/Reference Guides provide up-to-date current information that can assist

a school site during an event without having to continually update the initial school plan.

RCOE is in development of a Continuity of Operation (COOP) Plan for the organization. This plan

will provide the guidance to allow each department within the organization to individually develop

and maintain their respective department COOP Plan.

The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires the updating of hazard mitigation plan’s every five

years at the local level. To ensure that this occurs, in the fourth year following adoption of the

Plan, the Riverside County Office of Education will undertake the following activities:

• Work with County Emergency Management Department to thoroughly analyze and

update the RCOE’s risk to natural and man-made hazards (as was done to prepare the

original Plan).

• Provide a new annual review (as noted above).

• Provide a detailed review and revision of the Mitigation Strategy, including each goal,

objective, and potential action.

• Prepare a new Action Plan with prioritized actions, responsible parties, and resources.

• Prepare a new draft Riverside County Office of Education’s Hazard Mitigation Plan and

submit to the Riverside County Board of Education for adoption.

• Submit an updated Plan to the County Emergency Management Department for

inclusion in the County’s Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.
