Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

The 2024 update to the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is a countywide multi-jurisdictional planning effort led by the Contra Costa County Office of Emergency Services and supported by over 40 participating agencies, including the City of Richmond. This Plan serves as a guide for the County and participating agencies to become more resilient to the impacts of natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.

After several multi-partner consultations and inputs received, we now have a draft version available to the Richmond community! As part of the next step in the planning process, we now want to familiarize the community with the updates that will be incorporated into the plan such as the hazards identified and the mitigation actions proposed, and at the same time request your feedback. As with the previous LHMP last completed in 2018, this 2024 update will have specific information focused on local jurisdictions, i.e. City of Richmond, presented as an Annex to the Plan.
