Lassen County and the city of Susanville will update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and seeks your input.
The Multi-Jurisdictional Plan was first adopted in 2011 and required an update every five years. The plan identifies natural disaster risks and vulnerabilities common to the area, develops long-term strategies for protecting people and property from these events, establishes edibility for seeking hazard mitigation assistance grants, and fulfills regulatory requirements as set by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A plan update requires opportunities for public comment, including at least two public meetings. Your feedback will be incorporated into the plan as part of this planning process. This can include….
• What natural hazards pose the most significant risk to your community?
• What concerns do you have, and what actions would help reduce damages of future hazard events in the community or county?
A public meeting will be held Thursday, June 29th, at 2 pm at Jensen Hall, where you can share your view. You can attend in person or virtually. More information can be found by emailing the Natural Resources Coordinator, Cortney Flather.
