The city of Seal Beach is preparing a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, or LHMP. The Public Review Draft of this plan has been completed and will be made available to the public for a 30 day review period beginning Oct. 23, 2018. A copy of the plan will be available at the City Clerk’s Office. The plan can also be accessed by going to the City of Seal Beach website and clicking on the “Local Hazard Mitigation Plan” tab on the homepage.
This plan will help create a safer community for residents, businesses, and visitors. The plan allows public safety officials and city staff, elected officials, and members of the public understand the threats from natural and human-caused hazards in our community. The plan will also recommend specific actions to proactively decrease these threats before disasters occur. Usually, after a disaster occurs, communities take steps to recover from the emergency and rebuild. An LHMP is a way for the city to become more prepared in advance of these disasters, so when they do occur, less damage occurs and recovery is easier.
