What's the biggest hazard risk where you live?
San Mateo County's draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is open for public
comment.

The LHMP identifies our risks from wildfires, flooding, earthquakes, severe weather,
other natural hazards, and outlines actions to reduce damage before disasters happen.
It also keeps San Mateo County’s 20 cities, unincorporated communities, and special
districts eligible for federal hazard mitigation funding.

We want input from residents, businesses, and community organizations. Tell us where
the plan is strong, what it misses, and what you would add.

📅 Public comment: May 15 to June 15
