Citygate conducted a Standards of Coverage (SOC) study update, community risk assessment, and facility assessment for the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department to assist the Department in achieving agency accreditation with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International. In addition, the study established current response performance, identified new targets for improvement, and served as the basis for a new Strategic Community Risk Reduction Program that identified programs for implementation to mitigate risks and make the City a safer, healthier, and more resilient community. The facility assessment assisted in identifying modifications and use of existing facility space to reduce employee exposure to carcinogens. In addition to identifying specific facility needs, the assessment formed the baseline for future annual facility safety inspections. Citygate also performed the City’s 2017 SOC study.

Citygate completed a Standards of Coverage study and evaluation of fire, rescue, and emergency medical services delivery for the City of Huntington Beach. This study included a performance review of the current delivery of all Fire Department services, as well as recommendations to ensure service delivery meets current best practices within fiscal realities.
