City of Pasadena 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Survey

The City of Pasadena is updating the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). The plan identifies natural, and human caused hazards that can impact the City. The new and updated plan will list potential actions needed to reduce risk and future damage. The plan enables the City to be eligible for various assistance grants. Public involvement is critical to the plan as the LHMP must represent the current needs and values of the community. To assist with obtaining public input, we invite you to participate in the following survey. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.
