San Mateo County Hazard Mitigation Plan 292 SECTION 2 - Chapter 15 City of Redwood City TABLE 15-7. EDUCATION AND OUTREACH Criteria Response • If yes, please briefly describe. Redwood City encourages registration with SMC Alert 15.4 Integration with Other Planning Initiatives The following describe the jurisdiction’s process for integrating the hazard mitigation plan into local planning mechanisms. 15.4.1 Existing Integration The following plans and programs currently integrate the goals, risk assessment and/or recommendations of the hazard mitigation plan:  City of Redwood City General Plan, Safety Element—The City of Redwood City has already integrated hazard mitigation into the General Plan Safety Element, including specific initiatives on hazard mitigation planning updates, hazard risks, and associated objectives. 15.4.2 Opportunities for Future Integration The following plans and programs do not currently integrate the goals, risk assessment and/or recommendations of the hazard mitigation plan, but provide an opportunity for future integration:  General Plan, Safety Element – Per SB-379, Redwood City is anticipating an update to their safety element to reflect vulnerability assessment results for climate change impacts. These assessment results will reprioritize identified climate change related goals, policies and objectives currently identified in the Safety Element. Though not required during this 2016 planning process, Redwood City’s proactive approach to planning and compliance will result in a streamlined safety element update following the 2021 LHMP planning process.  General Plan, Housing Element – The Housing Element of the City’s General Plan currently includes information on certain hazards (i.e. fire, earthquake, and hazardous materials). The City recognizes that the next update to the Housing Element would benefit greatly through the incorporation of elements of the hazard mitigation. The City intends to review current parallels between both planning initiatives for future integration.  Redwood City Community Climate Action Plan – The Climate Action Plan provides the City with an opportunity to directly integrate hazard mitigation with existing goals and objectives. Since the Climate Action Plan already provides a strategic guide for minimizing the impact of human activity on the environment, integration of hazard mitigation is a fitting and strategic next step. Redwood City anticipates that future assessments to the Climate Action Plan will include hazard mitigation as it relates to air quality, land use, and other factors.  Public Outreach – Redwood City recognizes that there are currently public information opportunities available to facilitate public engagement regarding hazard mitigation. The City will look into 6.3.B. - Page 19
