Local Hazard Community Survey

Dear Community Members:

 

The City of Emeryville is beginning the process of updating our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP).  The purpose of the update and the LHMP is to (1) be compliant with FEMA requirements and (2) to identify the City’s natural, environmental and man-made hazards and develop a risk assessment and mitigation plan for those hazards.  This plan will result in better emergency management during an event as well as identify projects that could potentially reduce risks in the community.  With a plan in place, we can prioritize projects and the City will continue to be eligible to obtain FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Funds if a disaster is declared. 

The City is soliciting community input regarding what natural and man-made hazards face our city as well as opinions regarding methods and/or techniques for reducing these risks and any losses associated with these hazards. 

This is a public opinion survey which will help inform our mitigation planning process for the City.   There will be public outreach meetings throughout the update process; however, for our first step this survey is available for people to become involved and give their opinions as well as provide information which will help guide the plan. 

Your taking a moment to complete this survey is greatly appreciated.    All responses must be received not later than April 30, 2015.
