We collect inventory data (both activity data and emission factors) from a wide range of sources, including our utility, local/state/federal agencies, and internal City databases. We store this raw data, source documents, and preliminary calculations using a cloud-based file storage system. We input this data into the ICLEI ClearPath tool to calculate GHG emissions by sector. We regularly review sources and revise inputs when improved data or methodology becomes available.We also follow best practices to inform our Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMPC), which outlines future natural hazards risks due to climate change. We utilize regional models on global warming from Oak Ridge National Lab, include experts from ORNL's Climate Change Science Institute to inform the HMPC, and use data on vulnerabilities from FEMA's Hazus tool. We update the HMPC regularly. | 01/20/2022 02:27:05 | ||||

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 6 | San Jose is ringed by zones of Moderate Fire Hazard Severity. In 2010, about 2% of the county’s residents lived in fire hazard zones of moderate to very high severity. The CAL FIRE archives (which report only fires of significant size) include 62 instances of wildfire in the county from 1878 to 2009, affecting 113,345 acres or 177 square miles. Drought, which is expected to occur more frequently with climate change, increases the risk of wildfires and reduces the amount of water available to fight wildfires. Climate change is also expected to cause fires to spread faster and burn more intensely in most vegetation types, particularly grassland. In Santa Clara County, a 51% increase in future is expected in fires that escape, as well as a 41% increase in the amount of acres burned in the average “contained” fire. In addition, more frequent or extensive fires could drive shifts from forest to grass and shrub vegetation, increasing susceptibility to future fires. Wildfires impact watersheds by increasing the risk of landslides, mudslides, and sediment in run-off that reduces water quality. In addition to fire-related injuries, local and regional transport of smoke, ash, and fine particles increases respiratory and cardiovascular risks. Wildfires can also disrupt energy distribution, both directly by disrupting transmission lines and indirectly by causing utilities to shut down electricity distribution to avoid generating fire-starting sparks. In San Jose, PG&E began using Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPSs; https://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/outages/public-safety-power-shuttoff/psps-reports.page) during the 2019 fire season to reduce the risk of wildfire by preemptively stopping electricity distribution during high-temperature, high-wind conditions. In the first PSPS event affecting San Jose in 2019, almost 20,000 San Jose customer accounts went without power an average of more than 16 hours. In the second PSPS event affecting San Jose, almost 7,500 customer accounts went without power for an average of more than 40 hours. These accounts included hundreds of residents relying on electrically powered medical equipment and many different critical facilities. Fortunately, the situation was better in 2020, with fewer than 10 electricity customers in San Jose affected by PSPS events. | 01/20/2022 02:27:05 | |||
