The City of Placentia is in the process of developing a 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) and is looking for community input. The LHMP is being developed by a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) comprised of representatives from various City departments, neighboring jurisdictions, key federal, state, and local agency stakeholders, and the public. The LHMP will address hazards of concern to the City, assess the likely impacts of these hazards to the people and assets of the City of Placentia planning area, and establish goals and prioritize projects to reduce the impacts of future disasters on people and property as well as to critical facilities and infrastructure.

Members of the community play a crucial role in this process. Planning committee and public kickoff meetings are scheduled for Thursday, March 9, 2023. Please see the City’s LHMP webpage at: www.placentia.org/lhmp for more information on meeting times and locations. All interested stakeholders and members of the public are welcome to attend. For more information on this project and how to be involved, contact Patrick Powers at (714) 993-8214 or ppowers@placentia.org.
