As one of 54 confirmed participants in the 2010 San Bernardino County Operational Area Multi-Jurisdictional Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning Project, the City of Montclair is updating its Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). This plan was adopted in 2005 and is required to be updated at least every five years to ensure that it remains an active and relevant document. The goal of mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to life and property from hazardous events.
This plan addresses the following topics:
· Planning Process – This plan will document the planning and updating processes, including how the plan was prepared and updated, who was involved in the process, and how the public was involved.
· Risk Assessment – Mitigation plans identify natural hazards, estimate the potential frequency and severity of hazards, and assess the potential losses of life and property.
· Mitigation Strategy – Based on the risk assessment, communities develop mitigation goals and objectives, as part of a strategy for mitigating hazard losses. The strategy is a community’s approach for implementing mitigation activities that are cost-effective and technically feasible.
· Plan Maintenance – A formal plan maintenance process is implemented to ensure that the mitigation plan remains active and relevant. This process includes a method and schedule for monitoring, evaluating, and updating the plan at least every five (5) years.
In order to develop a more comprehensive approach to reducing the effects of natural hazards, the City of Montclair would like to extend an opportunity to the public to comment on the plan during the updating process.
