Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan; Volume 1—Planning-Area-Wide Elements 1-2 the 2018 Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The three cities and the DSRSD prepared annexes for that previous hazard mitigation plan that were approved and adopted in 2018. This 2023 Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan fulfills the five-year plan update requirement for these planning partners. It identifies resources, information, and strategies for reducing risk from natural hazards in the Tri-Valley planning area. Components of the hazard mitigation plan were selected because they meet a program requirement and because they best meet the needs of the planning partners (the cities and participating special district) and their citizens. One benefit of multi-jurisdictional planning is the ability to pool resources and eliminate redundant activities within a planning area that has uniform risk exposure and vulnerabilities. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) encourages multi-jurisdictional planning under its guidance for the DMA. The plan will help guide and coordinate mitigation activities throughout the planning area. It was developed to meet the following objectives: • Meet or exceed requirements of the DMA. • Enable all planning partners to continue using federal grant funding to reduce risk through mitigation. • Meet the needs of each planning partner as well as state and federal requirements. • Create a risk assessment that focuses on local hazards of concern. • Meet the planning requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) Community Rating System (CRS), allowing planning partners that participate in the CRS program to maintain or enhance their CRS classifications. • Coordinate existing plans and programs so that high-priority projects to mitigate possible disaster impacts are funded and implemented. 1.2 WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS PLAN? All residents and businesses of the planning area are the ultimate beneficiaries of this hazard mitigation plan. The hazard mitigation plan reduces risk for those who live in, work in, and visit the planning area. It provides a viable planning framework for all foreseeable natural hazards. Participation in development of the hazard mitigation plan by key stakeholders helped ensure that outcomes will be mutually beneficial. The resources and background information in the plan are applicable across the planning area, and the plan’s goals and recommendations can lay groundwork for the development and implementation of local mitigation activities and partnerships. 1.3 CONTENTS OF THIS PLAN This plan has been set up in two volumes so that jurisdiction-specific elements may be easily distinguished from those that apply to the whole planning area: • Volume 1—Volume 1 includes all federally required elements of a disaster mitigation plan that apply to the entire planning area. This includes the description of the planning process, public involvement strategy, goals and objectives, planning area hazard risk assessment, and a plan maintenance strategy. • Volume 2—Volume 2 includes all federally required jurisdiction-specific elements in annexes for each participating jurisdiction. It includes a description of the participation requirements established by the Page 93 of 228
