City Council

CC 10. Adoption of the 2025 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Recommendation(s): Adopt Resolution No._____ approving the 2025 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for final FEMA approval. By adopting the LHMP, the City will maintain compliance with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements, ensuring continued eligibility for federal hazard mitigation and disaster relief funding; establish a foundation for future action to incorporate the LHMP into the Safety Element; strengthen hazard mitigation planning to reduce disaster risks in the community. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires state and local governments to develop and maintain a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) to qualify for certain types of federal disaster assistance. The LHMP identifies risks, vulnerabilities, and mitigation actions to reduce the impact of disasters on the community. The City has completed an update to its LHMP, which has been reviewed and approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as "approvable pending adoption."
