City of Glendale Invites Community to Review Draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
The City of Glendale is inviting residents, businesses, and community partners to review and provide feedback on the City’s Draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), now available online at
GlendaleCA.gov/LHMP.
Community members will have 30 days to review the draft plan and submit comments and input. Public participation is a critical component of the planning process and helps ensure the plan reflects the priorities, concerns, and needs of the Glendale community.
The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is a long-term planning document designed to help the City identify potential hazards and reduce risks to people, property, infrastructure, and essential services. The plan addresses a wide range of hazards, including earthquakes, wildfires, flooding, extreme heat, severe weather, and other emergency events.
The LHMP serves as a roadmap for improving community resilience, enhancing emergency preparedness, and identifying strategies to minimize the impacts of future disasters.
What the Plan Includes
- Identification of hazards that may impact Glendale
- Assessment of community vulnerabilities and risks
- Evaluation of the City’s existing capabilities and resources
- Development of long-term mitigation strategies and preparedness initiatives
How to Get Involved
Community members are encouraged to:
- Review the draft plan online at GlendaleCA.gov/LHMP
-
Submit comments and feedback during the 30-day public review period to help shape Glendale's future
-
Attend the Draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Community Pop-up on June 25 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Glendale Central Library to learn more about the plan and provide feedback. Input gathered during the public review period will help shape the final plan before it is submitted for approval
