Condado de Marin Multijurisdiccionales Mitigacion Plan Encquesta de divulgacion publica
San Rafael, CA -- The various communities n Marin County are working together to update Marin County’s Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. As part of this community planning process, we are asking for community input to ensure that the proposed mitigation projects and vulnerabilities have alignment with the community’s existing perceptions and expectations.
What is hazard mitigation? It is the effort to reduce the loss of life and damage to property and the environment by lessening the impact of natural hazards on the community. By understanding what natural hazards we face in Marin County, and how those hazards may impact our communities either by injuring people, damaging or destroying property, or impacting the environment; we reference this document to seek ways to protect people, property, and the environment from the impact of these hazards.
To be eligible for Local Hazard Mitigation Project funding, we must first consider how these natural hazards impact us and then explore how we can protect against them. We feel it is important to engage the whole community in this effort.
You are asked to answer a few simple questions about your level of concern for natural hazards in your community and any preparedness actions you have taken or may be taking to prepare for a natural disaster.
The County will also address new and emerging threats within this document such as climate change and poor air quality; however, the primary natural hazards being assessed are:
- Dam Failure
- Debris Flow, Erosion, Landslide, Post-Fire Debris Flow
- Drought
- Earthquake
- Flooding
- Land Subsidence (Sinkhole)
- Levee Failure
- Sea Level Rise
- Severe Weather – Extreme Heat
- Severe Weather – Wind, Hail, Lightning
- Wildfire
- Tsunami
