Tri-Valley Planning Area Collaborates For Hazard Mitigation Plan

From The City of Dublin: The Cities of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton, Dublin San Ramon Services District, and other local government stakeholders in the Tri-Valley planning area are collaborating on the development of the Tri-Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan, pursuant to State and Federal requirements.

Responding to Federal mandates in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106- 390), the planning partnership was formed to pool resources and create a uniform hazard mitigation strategy that can be consistently applied to the Tri-Valley planning area.

During this process, citizens will be asked to contribute by sharing local knowledge of an area's vulnerability to hazards based on past occurrences. Public involvement will be solicited via a multi-media campaign that will include public meetings, web-based information, questionnaires and updates on the plan's progress via the news media. This process will be overseen by a steering committee made up of stakeholders from within the planning area. This Steering Committee will meet as needed on the 2nd Tuesday of every month throughout the planning process. These meetings will typically run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and are open to the public. Meetings will be held at Dublin City Hall - Regional Meeting Room, 100 Civic Plaza, Dublin, California.

An informational website on the plan and the purposes for planning has been established at: https://www.tri-valley-hmp.com/. This website will serve as the primary means for the public to gain information on the plan and ways that they can participate in the planning process. Information on the public meetings and the steering committee meetings can also be found on this website. The public is encouraged to provide input on all phases of the plan's development.

Any questions or comments regarding this process are encouraged and can be directed to Hazel Wetherford at (925) 833-6650 or hazel.wetherford@dublin.ca.gov.
