Threat and Hazard Descriptions
Threat/Hazard Group

Threat/Hazard Type

Natural

Wildfire

Description 1: Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation fuel loading is increased by 150% from long-term
drought that weakens Klamath Mountain region conifer forests around reservation now thick with
standing dead from bark beetle infestation. A severe winter storm intensifies and unleashes a
blowdown producing over 50,000 acres of severe fire hazard. Within 3 years, complex fires fueled by
returning El Nino heat accompanied with high winds and thunderstorms developed into four major fires
devouring over 200,000 acres of public lands surrounding Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation. The
normal 22 µg (micrograms) PM10 is increased to over 1000 µg as the normal coastal inversion layer
holds the intense smoke in the lower atmosphere of the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation requiring full
evacuation of vulnerable populations and shelter in place assistance for others
Description 2:
Forest management policies, on public lands, are hindered with delays, fueled by endangered species
and critical habitat disagreements, leaving conifer forests surrounding the Hoopa Valley Indian
reservation unmanaged. Long term drought enables dry vegetation inviting intense wildfire. Any
incident will quickly deplete resources and mutual aid resources are unavailable or severely limited
during fire season, if there is an ongoing wildfire incident, or if accessibility into Hoopa Valley Indian
Reservation(by roads or air) is reduced due to incident type (flood, landslide, earthquake, hazardous
materials or major conflagration). Response crews must coordinate operations and logistics within
Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation; however, due to (1) one-way in and (1) one-way out traffic flow,
progress is very slow.
Natural

Flood

Description 1:
In 24 hours, a total of (5) five inches of unseasonably warm rain falls above the 5000 feet elevation
mark in late December. The intense rainfall continues for (7) seven days totaling over 30 inches.
Unmapped flood hazard areas are damaged with snow melt and flood waters. Post-flood damage
assessment reveal: road washout; damage to water and sewage treatment facilities, communications,
and public buildings. Flood causes a loss of 4,000 head of cattle. The demolished bridge and washed
out embankment cause disruption in transportation of basic supplies and consumable medical
supplies. Response crews must coordinate operations and logistics within Hoopa Valley Indian
Reservation; however, due to (1) one-way in and (1) one-way out traffic flow, progress is very slow.
Description 2:
Post wildfire, a large burn scar with hydrophobic soil causes runoff to be 100 times greater than usual.
Normal levels are 50 cfs (cubic feet per second) which become 5000 cfs. Flood waters, sediment and
rocks combine to create a hazardous debris flow. The viscous, dense mixture carries large rocks and
damages bridges, roadways, collapses and damages public buildings. The demolished Trinity River
bridge and washed out embankment cause disruption in transportation of basic supplies and
consumable medical supplies. The debris flow also severely damages the Julius Marshall Water
Treatment Facility, the regions only resource for potable water. Potable water will not be available for a
considerable amount of time as the Trinity River is the only source along with the water treatment
facility. Response crews must coordinate operations within Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation; however,
due to (1) one-way in and (1) one-way out movement, progress is very slow.
Technological

Dam Inundation

Description 1:
There are (2) two dams, the Lewiston and the Trinity, upstream from Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation.
Dam inundation of any of these large capacity storage dams would flood and destroy the valley. The list
of secondary effects include: damaged buildings, bridges collapse, building collapse, communication
and power interruption, roadway collapse, partial or total evacuation, hazardous and biological
materials release and landslides.

Human-caused

Illegal Marijuana Cultivation - Arson

Description 1: During 4th of July celebrations, illegal marijuana growers detonate a firebomb in
competitor’s field. The dry forest slopes from a long-term drought, catch fire and quickly spread in the
rough terrain to over 10,000 acres of forest slopes and populated areas in the northwestern portion of
the reservation. The fire and smoke causes evacuation of entire community of Hoopa Valley Indian
Reservation, closes down State route 96, burns structures, disrupts communication networks, and
damages critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR). Debris flow are expected in the upcoming
winter months and until region can be stabilized.
Description 2: Marijuana growers set up a large burn pile to get rid of evidence of illegal activities
including a body of a missing tourist who accidentally walked into their fields. A stray spark blows
into a storage area containing potential accelerants and creates a larger out of control fire. Due to
drought conditions and high winds of late August the fire quickly becomes a complex wild land fire on
tribal lands with an urban interface that affects the entire Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation population
and. The fire burns several structures and causes a severe smoke issues which forces evacuation of
the entire Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation community as well as the need for emergency services
for those suffering from respiratory stress and/or cannot evacuate.
Human-caused

Illegal Marijuana Cultivation – Hazardous
Materials

Description 1: A medicinal/ceremonial plant collection trip by tribal members turns into an active
shooter situation upon the group stumbling into an active illegal marijuana field. There are injuries and
possible hostages as situation escalates. Whether planned or on accident chemicals (herbicides,
pesticides, rodenticides and unknowns) as well as diesel are spilled and making their way into the
local streams and Trinity River directly threatening local and downstream drinking commercial use
water. This creates a hazmat scene causing the evacuation of downwind population as a precaution.
Due to unknown nature of spill and active shooter situation, main roads are closed causing delay of
key resources.
Description 2: A rental truck carrying an illegal load of ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) for illegal marijuana
fields trying to outrun the police crashes inside city limits killing the driver. Emergency and Fire respond to
contain the resulting fire without knowing the trucks contents. The ammonium nitrate subsequently explodes
destroying a police cruiser and fire engine as well as killing 1 police officer and 3 firemen. The resulting
explosion destroys phone lines, power substation (spraying and igniting transformer oil) as well as
destroying California State Route 96. The concussive blast also breaks windows and collapses a wall at
the nearby Baptist church causing injuries. The transformer oil acts as an accelerant quickly igniting nearby
grass, structures and trees starting a fire which has the potential to grow quickly.

hazards of concern to all communities, organizations and individuals affected by the (8) eight
core capabilities listed as Protective in the National Preparedness Goal through the Hoopa
Valley Indian Reservation Valley Tribe Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan. Assess impacts posed
by identified threats and hazards to: at-risk populations, CI/KR and assets. Prioritize risk
according to local based criteria. Update Emergency Operations Plan against risk assessments
and adj st accordingl
Secure all identified priority supply nodes, transit methods, and materials. Quickly Identify
alternate routes of transportation, supply nodes, transit methods and materials in the event of
road closures due to incident. Execute mitigation planning and annual exercise to examine
security and resilience of supply chains to support community requiring food, consumable
medical supplies and other commodities due to lack of services, loss of residence, or as
visitors or commuters stranded by a potential incident. Prioritize top lifelines (water, power,
fuel, natural has, transportation, communications) to assist in the re-establishment of essential
services and movement of critical resources. Examine supply chains used by first responders
to ensure they can focus on provide aid to the public. Maintain collaborative relationship with
laboratory systems equipped for rapid identification of select agents in order to determine
whether products or animals are free from these agents and to assist in response of outbreaks
in animal disease or appearance of contamination in high-risk food products.
Implement a community resiliency strategy to coordinate public information to support
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and TEEN CERT; volunteer shelter
programs; and establish a community information system for mitigation and response,
including how to prepare residences to reduce risk and improve resiliency for all identified
hazards. Implement these community resiliency building activities through partnerships with
whole community and Tribal, State and Federal agency representatives. Implement exercise
plans coordinating communities, before, during and after an incident to prevent and mitigate
emergencies, expedite response activities, maximize resources, and facilitate a return to
normalcy. Establish partnerships in order to promote key relationships with private industry
via Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) allowing delivery of goods and services through a
clear, formalized process that is made available to the EOC.
Develop a detailed analysis of risk potentials against CI/KR and develop long term
improvement plan including measurable metrics. Achieve a determined acceptable decrease
in the long-term vulnerability of CI/KR and community features that pose an increased risk to
a similar incident. Update Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan annually, after an exercise and after
any declared emergency or incident. Promote proactive approaches to resiliency such as
continuity plans (for government, operations and business), physical assessments of CI/KR,
develop mitigation projects to retrofit structures providing essential services to the
community, identify community lifelines, determine vulnerabilities and close gaps in
resilience. Build and sustain resilient systems, community and CI/KR lifelines to reduce
vulnerability to natural, technological and man-made incidents by lessening the likelihood,
severity and duration of the adverse consequences related to these incidents.
