Draft Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Now Available

The Palos Verdes Peninsula cities have been developing a local Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan that will ultimately be reviewed and submitted for approval by state and federal emergency management agencies. The plan is an important emergency planning document that identifies hazards, assess risk from those hazards, and identifies possible strategies to reduce impacts. 

Hazard mitigation is any long-term, sustainable action that reduces risk to people, property, and services from future disasters. Creating a comprehensive plan in advance helps communities identify risks and select mitigation measures. A Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan not only guides local governments in implementing these strategies but also makes them eligible for state and federal grant funding for emergency planning and mitigation.

The draft Palos Verdes Peninsula Multi‑Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan is now available for public review and comment through February 25, 2026.
