The City of Fullerton is actively seeking community input as it prepares to update its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). This survey is essential for the city to qualify for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant funding, which is crucial for implementing projects aimed at reducing risks associated with natural disasters.

The LHMP serves as a strategic framework for the community to mitigate vulnerabilities to various natural hazards, including earthquakes, droughts, floods, and wildfires. Through this planning process, city officials aim to identify and implement long-term strategies that will help diminish the risks and potential losses that could arise during emergencies or disasters.

As part of this effort, Fullerton is inviting residents to participate in a community survey designed to assess awareness and understanding of potential hazards. This questionnaire seeks to identify areas within the community that may be particularly vulnerable to both natural and human-caused disasters.

“Your participation is extremely important,” city officials emphasize. “The feedback we receive will be instrumental in shaping the LHMP and ensuring comprehensive strategies are in place to protect our residents and infrastructure from future disaster events.”

The survey is expected to take approximately 10 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous, with all responses kept confidential. The insights gained from this endeavor will be integrated into the updated LHMP.

Residents are encouraged to take part in this critical information-gathering process, as their contributions will help forge a safer and more resilient community for everyone in Fullerton. Click here to take the survey.
