Marin Water has prepared a Draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for review and comment by members of the public.
This draft plan is an update to the District’s 2022 LHMP, and will be sent to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as part of the District’s compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA). The DMA requires local governments to adopt federally approved hazard mitigation plans every five years to be eligible to receive pre- and post-disaster mitigation funds from FEMA.
The purpose of hazard mitigation planning is to assess potential hazards that Marin Water is most vulnerable to and identify strategies to reduce the potential impact to infrastructure, critical facilities, and the services the District provides.
The public comment period is open from Sept. 14-28, 2026. Comments may be incorporated into the final document, which will be presented for approval by the Marin Water Board of Directors in October.
