Resident Input Sought As City Develops Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

DANA POINT, CA — Resident input was sought by the City of Dana Point this week as the city works to develop a local hazard mitigation plan.

The role of the plan is to develop actions and formulate proactive strategies to reduce the risks associated with natural hazards that may pose a threat to the community.

Disasters such as floods, drought, wildfires, severe weather and other natural hazards may impact residents and visitors, as well as threaten life, property and the environment.

Residents can share input by visiting the city's website and taking a survey. In addition, the city will host an open house event on Nov. 9 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Emergency Operating Center located on the first floor of Dana Point City Hall at 33282 Golden Lantern.

The open house will include a brief presentation on the proposed plan, Dana Point City Spokeswoman Jessica Spaulding said.

Residents will also be able to take the survey at the event and visit information booths from the Orange County Fire Authority, the Community Emergency Response Team and Tri-Cities Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) for additional questions.

Residents may also submit comments to jshadle@danapoint.org.

For more information, residents can contact the Emergency Services Office at (949) 248-3583 or email: jshadle@danapoint.org.
