Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
The federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires cities, counties and special districts to have a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to minimize damage and quicken recovery from disasters such as earthquakes and floods, and to be eligible for federal hazard mitigation funds. The Association of Bay Area Governments is the lead agency on a multi-jurisdictional LHMP for the region. This plan, including Zone 7's piece, was created in 2005 and was updated in 2010.
