I.1.1 Planning Process
As described above, each district followed the planning process detailed in Section 3.0 of the
base plan. In addition to providing representation on the Sacramento County Hazard Mitigation
Planning Committee (HMPC), the District formulated their own internal planning team to
support the broader planning process requirements. Internal planning participants included staff
from the following departments:
Additional details on plan participation and District representatives are included in Appendix A.
I.1.2 Community Profile
I.1.3 Hazard Identification and Summary
This section details how the risk varies across the Sacramento County planning area. Each
District’s planning team identified the hazards that affect the each district and summarized their
frequency of occurrence, spatial extent, potential magnitude, and significance specific to their
borders (see Table I.1). In the context of the plan’s planning area, there are no hazards that are
unique to each district.
Information on past occurrences and the likelihood of future occurrences is detailed in Section 4,
Risk Assessment, of the base plan. Additional information for high and medium significant
hazards for the District is included in the Vulnerability Assessment section of this Annex.

I.1.4 Vulnerability Assessment
The intent of this section is to assess each district’s vulnerability separate from that of the
planning area as a whole, which has already been assessed in Section 4.3 Vulnerability
Assessment of the base plan. This vulnerability assessment provides an inventory of the
population, property, and other assets located within the District and further analyzes those assets
at risk to identified hazards ranked of medium or high significance (as listed in Table I.1) to the
community. For more information about how hazards affect the County as a whole, see Chapter
4 Risk Assessment in the main plan.
Total Assets at Risk
This section identifies each district’s total assets at risk, including values at risk, critical
facilities, and infrastructure. Growth and development trends are also presented for the
community. This data is not hazard specific, but is representative of total assets at risk within a
community.
Values at Risk
Significant assets directly within the districts include a range of properties and infrastructure.
These may include district owned property, critical facilities, and infrastructure. Inventories of
key district assets are provided in Table I.2. Total value of these assets exceeds $X million.

I.1.5 Priority Hazards: Vulnerability Assessment
This section provides the vulnerability assessment, including any quantifiable loss estimates, for
those hazards identified above in Table I.1 as high or medium significance hazards. Impacts of
past events and vulnerability of the District to specific hazards are further discussed below (see
Section 4.1 Hazard Identification for more detailed information about these hazards and their
impacts on the Sacramento County planning area). Methodologies for calculating loss estimates
are the same as those described in Section 4.3 of the base plan. In general, the most vulnerable
Sacramento County (Park and Recreation Districts) Annex I.6 Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Update September 2011

Any facility, including without limitation, a structure, infrastructure, property,
equipment or service, that if adversely affected during a hazard event may result
in severe consequences to public health and safety or interrupt essential services
and operations for the community at any time before, during and after the hazard
event.
This definition was refined by separating out three categories of critical facilities as further
described in Section 4.3.1 of the base plan.
The District has identified the following facilities as critical to its operations and to the
community, although they do not meet the planning area’s definition of a critical facility, they
can serve as emergency shelters.

Mitigation Outreach and Partnerships
The District works with both the County Department of Water Resources (DWR) and SAFCA
related to creek and stream drainage issues as well as stormwater detention. The District
currently has several joint-use detention basins planned with DWR that are either on District
park sites or adjacent to them. These basins provide the County with adequate basins for storm
water detention but at the same time during non-storm periods that land can be used for passive
and active recreational purposes.
Other Mitigation Projects and Efforts
The District is in the process of applying for a CAL-FIRE grant to complete an inventory of all
the trees in its parks in order to identify any tree hazard conditions.
I.3.7 Mitigation Strategy
This section describes the mitigation strategy process and mitigation action plan for each
District’s inclusion with the Sacramento County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan update.
Mitigation Goals and Objectives
The Southgate Recreation and Park District adopts the hazard mitigation goals and objectives
developed by the HMPC and described in Chapter 5 Mitigation Strategy of the base plan.
Mitigation Actions
The planning team for each district identified and prioritized the following mitigation actions
based on the risk assessment and in accordance with the process outline in Section 5, Mitigation
Strategy, of the base plan. Background information and information on how each action will be
implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible office, potential
funding, estimated cost, and timeline are also included. General processes and information on

Public Education is one of the primary mechanisms in reducing future hazard related losses, and
one that is inexpensive in comparison to other mitigation projects. This effort should be
coordinated between the many organizations that already have extensive and/or limited programs
in place. The following topics could be addressed through this effort that apply to all the
districts:
Floods
Flood insurance availability and Preferred Risk policies behind levees
City/County/SAFCA Program
Warning system components
Regional Evacuation plans/procedures (response to warning)
Public Info regarding manhole covers popping off: what they are, what they are for
Natural & Beneficial value of floodplains
Placing Flood-Depth signs county-wide
Severe Weather
Tree-limb trimming
Fog – driving tips
Warning (NOAA Weather [All-Hazards] Radio)
Earthquakes
Health Hazards (West Nile Virus)
Water Conservation (In conjunction with existing San Juan WD program effort)
