Help us update our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
We're updating our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), and we welcome your input! The LHMP helps us identify actions to reduce risks from natural and human-caused hazards while maintaining the City's eligibility for FEMA mitigation funding. Community members are encouraged to complete this brief survey to share their experiences, concerns, and priorities related to local hazards.
Examples of natural hazards include wildfires, earthquakes, and drought. Examples of human-caused hazards are hazardous materials spills and an aircraft crash.
The LHMP community survey is available in English and Spanish online through Fall 2026. This survey will help the LHMP planning team better understand the community’s concerns about natural hazards and identify policies and projects that can help lessen the impact of future hazard events.
To learn more about the City's LHMP, or to complete the survey, visit VictorvilleCA.gov/LHMP.
