2027 Hazard Mitigation Plan
Overview
Oro Loma Sanitary District and Castro Valley Sanitary District are in the process of drafting their 2027 Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). HMPs identify goals, objectives, and mitigation strategies for reducing the impact of hazards such as earthquakes, floods, wildfires, and severe storms.
If your home, school, or place of work are within either sanitary district, then we would like your feedback!
The Hazard Mitigation Plan is a document that outlines our long-term strategy to reduce risks to solid waste and wastewater services from disasters. It will allow us to be eligible for federal mitigation funds that strengthen our community’s disaster preparedness. HMPs must be updated every five years.
The essential steps of hazard mitigation planning are:
- Identify and describe hazards that affect the area
- Identify our existing capabilities to reduce risk to the hazards
- Analyze how our solid waste and wastewater infrastructure are at risk
- Develop a mitigation strategy to reduce the impact of each hazard
- Implement the hazard mitigation strategy
Federal regulations for HMP approval require that stakeholders and the public are given opportunities to be involved in the plan’s development process. Input from community members can strengthen the content and outcomes of the mitigation plan. The public is represented by community members and organizations that are served by us.
We welcome the public to review and comment on the HMP documents as they become available. For questions or comments, contact [role], [name] at [email].
We want to know what hazards you are most concerned about in your community. We have developed a public survey that will ask about your community, your past experiences with disasters in Alameda County, ways you receive information about disasters, and opinions on how we can reduce our risk.
The survey is conducted through the SurveyMonkey platform and will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. To take the survey, click here: [Survey link].
