HAZARD MITIGATION
Mission Statement:
The Hazard Mitigation Section supports California communities by reducing risk to natural hazards and enhancing resilience. Through promoting accessible comprehensive mitigation planning processes and grant programs, we assist local jurisdictions in assessing their risks, developing actionable mitigation strategies, implementing projects and initiatives, and highlighting best practices that reduce disaster losses across the state.
Our Vision for Resilience in CA:
Our vision is a resilient California where communities better understand natural hazard risks and work collaboratively to reduce the impacts from natural hazard events and disasters. By fostering strong partnerships and promoting effective mitigation strategies, we strive to safeguard lives, property, the environment, and cultural resources to ensure a safer future for all Californians.
