Project/meeting announcement

Wildfires. Floods. Earthquakes. We’ve all heard about these disasters and many of us have lived through them, often several times. It’s easy to think that there’s nothing we can really do about these events, but while we often can’t stop them from happening, we can make sure that the damage to our community is reduced. At the City of Irvine, we want to make our community as safe as it can be, which is why we’re preparing a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). These plans will help our community assess the potential for future disasters, take steps to prepare for them, and make us eligible for additional funding from the federal and state government. Our LHMP will cover four major topics. • Summarize the natural and human-caused hazards that pose a threat to our community. • Look at how our community members, buildings, and infrastructure are vulnerable to these hazards. • Outline a Hazard Mitigation Strategy, with specific policy recommendations for future actions to help reduce the threat from these hazards. • Maintenance procedures for the plan, keeping it current in the face of changing conditions. Our LHMP is being prepared by the City, with support from key stakeholders, and technical consultants. Community input is vital to ensure that our plan reflects the opinions, concerns, and goals of the community. The first of three community meetings will be held on Day, Date, 2019 at 6 PM at Location. Come to the meeting and learn about the project, talk with our team, and share your thoughts about how we can make Irvine more resilient. Can’t make the meeting? We’ll be releasing an online survey soon that will let you weigh in on our plan. We’ll also be hosting future meetings and events to get feedback and raise awareness about reducing the threat from disasters.
