Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

About the Plan

San Mateo County is committed to creating and sustaining communities that are more resilient to disasters. In 2016 San Mateo County, in coordination with 18 of its incorporated municipalities and multiple special districts, made a comprehensive update to its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). The LHMP serves many purposes such as enhancing public awareness, creating a decision tool for management, promoting compliance with State and Federal program requirements, enhancing local policies for hazard mitigation capability, supporting viability after a hazard event, and providing inter-jurisdictional coordination.

2016 Update Process

The LHMP was reviewed and updated in 2016 to reflect changes to both the hazards threatening San Mateo County as well as the programs in place to minimize or eliminate those hazards. The revision included an evaluation of climate change impacts on the natural hazards facing the County. A vital part of the revision process was receiving public input regarding the threats facing our region and potential actions to reduce the impact of those hazards.
