Orange County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Plan Resource
The Orange County Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies and describes the hazard events that may occur in the unincorporated areas of Orange County and provides a suite of mitigation actions to help decrease the potential damage from these hazards. Mitigation actions for Irvine that require coordination with the county may be integrated into the County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan. Similar mitigation actions in both the county’s and Irvine’s hazard mitigation plans can lead to a more regionally unified hazard mitigation strategy, which may improve effectiveness. The Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) is a public agency that is the wholesale water provider for large sections of Orange County, including Irvine via Irvine Ranch Water District. Mitigation actions related to water use may be implemented with support and assistance from MWDOC.

California State Hazard Mitigation Plan
Plan Resource
The California State Hazard Mitigation Plan assesses the types of hazards that may be present in California. It includes descriptions of these hazards, summaries of past hazard events, descriptions of how these hazards may occur in the future, and how these hazards may harm the people and assets of California. Like a local hazard mitigation plan, the State Hazard Mitigation Plan is updated every five years. The Committee can use the State Hazard Mitigation Plan as a source of information to refine the hazard profiles and vulnerability assessments in future Irvine LHMPs. Cal-Adapt is an online tool that provides detailed projections for future climate-related conditions in California, including factors such as temperature, precipitation, and sea-level rise. These projections can help inform forecasts of future hazard events and can explain how hazard conditions are expected to change. The Committee can use Cal-Adapt to monitor anticipated changes in future climate conditions and adjust mitigation actions accordingly.
