Does the City of Oxnard owe you money?

Hurricane’s Harvey and Irma have caused massive destruction and dislocation in Texas and Florida. This week Oxnard will be hosting the Miami Dolphins who have been temporarily displaced from their practice facility in Florida. Many families in Florida and Texas have also been displaced from their homes, or have suffered damage to their property. If you would like to donate to provide emergency assistance to those in need there are a number of charitable groups that are taking donations to help with relief. We have provided a partial list of the organizations on this page, as well as links to Charity Navigator and Charity Watch to help you make an informed decision about your donation. Please be advised that this is not a complete list of all charitable organizations and inclusion on this list is not an endorsement of any particular group or organization.

FEMA launched the California Coastal Analysis and Mapping Project (CCAMP) in Ventura County on December 8, 2011. FEMA released the Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (PFIRM) for coastal areas of Ventura County on September 30, 2016. In an effort to challenge the technical accuracy of these maps, Oxnard City Council approved a cooperative agreement with the Ventura County Watershed Protection District on December 20, 2016, to hire a consulting firm that specializes in coastal hazard reviews and is familiar with FEMA’s methodologies.The consulting firm of Moffatt and Nichols (M&N) was hired on March 27,2017. During a progress meeting on June 29, 2017 with our consultant, it was revealed that the methodology used by FEMA was “clearly under-predicting the hazards”. The Most Likely Winter profile (MLWP), during which the larger storms occur, was not used.  Also, FEMA’s analysis did not use the fact that coastal barrier dunes are routinely removed by mechanical methods.  In summary; Full and correct application of Pacific Guidelines could increase the BFE along the coastline in Oxnard.  The “Stockdon Method” was used, but not with the right conditions.  These findings are shown in the attached presentation.
The 90-day review period provided by FEMA began on June 9, 2017.  The last day to make comments is September 6, 2017. The City of Oxnard is provided a follow-up meeting to the meetings held on May 30 and May 31, 2017.  The meeting was held in the HR Activity Room on Wednesday, August 23, 2017, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  Moffat and Nichol provided a presentation of their findings as well as explained the technical comments the City will be providing to FEMA. M&N compiled community comments and prepare a final report shown below.

Our comments, including the comments provided by our consultant, will be combined into a single response from our communities to FEMA before September 6, 2017.
