San Mateo is seeking support from residents to create a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan for hazards such as earthquakes, floods, and more.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Mateo County, led by the Office of Emergency Services, has begun developing the updated Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to address hazards such as earthquakes, flooding, extreme heat and landslides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the county has asked for residents' help in identifying solutions to problems associated with natural hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Phase 1, the County invites the public to participate in the hazard mitigation plan by completing a survey about natural hazard risks in San Mateo through the link:\u00a0https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/RG5GTPS<\/a>, and then attend the first virtual public workshop on Thursday, March 25 at 4:00 p.m. at https:\/\/cmo.smcgov.org\/events\/march-25-2021-preparing-hazards-san-mateo-county-local-hazard-mitigation-plan-public-workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also called for a virtual meeting of the Steering Committee on March 22 at 2:00 p.m. on the website: https:\/\/cmo.smcgov.org\/events\/march-22-2021-hazard-mitigation-plan-update-steering-committee-meeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The county detailed in a release that an updated Multijurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan will serve as an important foundation for a more resilient and sustainable area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The plan looks at how San Mateo County and its planning partners can reduce the impact of natural hazards such as earthquakes, flooding, extreme heat and landslides,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that once approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the plan ensures that San Mateo County and its partners remain eligible for grant funding for pre- and post-disaster mitigation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This, he said, through FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs and other non-emergency disaster assistance, such as the agency's new Building Resilient Communities and Infrastructure (BRIC) program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current San Mateo County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan expires in September 2021, as each plan is updated every five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The planning process will be organized in three phases and each phase will include opportunities for public comment and input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 2 will begin in May-June, with an evolving and interactive component of the project website. In addition, there will be a Steering Committee meeting on May 24, 2021 and June 28, 2021 at 2:00 pm. To which residents are also invited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Phase 3 to be held in July-August, it will be possible to attend the second public workshop on July 22, 2021 at 4:00 pm, as well as attend another Steering Committee meeting on July 26, 2021 and August 23, 2021 at 2:00 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
