Claremont To Give Update On Hazard Mitigation Plan

CLAREMONT, CA — Officials will host a virtual meeting Wednesday to go over the city's latest local hazard mitigation plan.

The city is required by federal law to update its plan every five years to qualify for disaster funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to Claremont officials. The plan goes over the city’s preparedness for “various types of natural and man-made hazards and their impacts to the community.”

“With a plan in place, city staff can continue to prioritize projects and the city will continue to be eligible to obtain FEMA Mitigation Grant Funds if a disaster is declared,” officials said.

Hazards that are currently identified in the city's plan include droughts, landslides and earthquakes.

The mitigation plan meeting will be held at 6 p.m. via Zoom. Members of the public interested in attending can do so by visiting this link.
