LAKEPORT HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN MEETING: 02/19/19 FROM 1-2:30 PM AT CITY HALL, 225 PARK STREET
Get Involved!
HELP YOUR COMMUNITY BE HAZARD-READY!
City of Lakeport, CA: A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is being developed by the City of Lakeport. Fires, drought, floods, and severe weather are just a few of the hazards to be addressed in the plan. While hazards such as these cannot be prevented, a Hazard Mitigation Plan forms the foundation for a community's long-term strategy to reduce disaster losses by breaking the repeated cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction. Additionally, only communities with a FEMA-approved Hazard Mitigation Plan are eligible to apply for both pre- and post-disaster mitigation grant funding.
Nationwide, taxpayers pay billions of dollars annually helping communities, organizations, businesses, and individuals recover from disaster. Some disasters are predictable and, in many cases, much of the damage can be reduced or even eliminated through hazard mitigation planning.
The people most aware of potential hazards are the people that live and work in the affected community. In addition to plan participation by local, state and federal agencies, the community is seeking all interested community members to hear more about our Local Hazard Mitigation Planning project. We encourage attendance and participation from the general public at our upcoming public meeting regarding Risk Assessment:
