Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Update – Redwood City - Help us identify risks and shape solutions to make Redwood City safer
What is the LHMP?
The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is updated every 5 years to identify risks in Redwood City—such as wildfire, flooding, earthquakes, and extreme weather—and prioritize actions to reduce those risks.
This plan helps the City improve safety and qualify for state and federal funding for hazard mitigation projects.
Why This Matters
- Protect homes, businesses, and neighborhoods
- Improve emergency preparedness and response
- Invest in projects that reduce risk and strengthen resilience
