Plumas County, CA: Plumas County is partnering with the City of Portola and five special districts, Grizzly Lake Community Services District, Indian Valley Community Services District, Plumas-Eureka Community Services District, Chester Public Utility District, and Feather River Resource Conservation District, to update the 2020 Plumas County and 2019 City of Portola Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMPs), in addition to preparing new plan annexes for the five special districts. Wildfire, floods, drought, and severe weather are just a few of the hazards of concern in Plumas County. While natural hazards such as these cannot be prevented, an LHMP forms the foundation for a community’s long-term strategy to reduce disaster losses by breaking the repeated cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction. The goal of the project is to have a FEMA-approved multi-jurisdictional LHMP that will then allow the County, City, and special districts to apply for both pre- and post-disaster mitigation grant funding.
You are invited. Members of the public and all interested stakeholders are encouraged to attend and participate in the upcoming project kickoff meetings. An initial Public Meeting will explain the multi-jurisdictional LHMP update and development process, the benefits of hazard mitigation planning, and how the community can be involved. In addition, the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) Meeting with partnering jurisdictions and other stakeholders is open to the public. Please select the meeting and time that works best for you.
HMPC Meeting - January 14, 2025 (Tuesday) - 1:00 – 4:00 pm Quincy Branch Library 445 Jackson St., Quincy 95971
Public Meeting - January 14, 2025 (Tuesday) - 5:30 – 7:00 pm Quincy Branch Library 445 Jackson St., Quincy 95971
