These jurisdictions must submit an adoption resolution to FEMA in order to be considered fully approved.
FEMA’s approval of the 2024 Contra Costa County Hazard Mitigation Plan remains for a period of five years from the original approval date of September 18, 2024, for all approved participants. An updated list of the status of current participating jurisdictions is enclosed with this letter.
Prior to September 18, 2029, Contra Costa County and all participating jurisdictions are required to review and revise the plan to reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities, and resubmit it for approval in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding.
The continued approval of this plan ensures Contra Costa County and all participating jurisdictions’ continued eligibility for project grants under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Program, and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program. All requests for funding, however, will be evaluated individually according to the specific eligibility, and other requirements of the particular program under which applications are submitted.
If you have any questions regarding the planning or review processes, please contact the FEMA Region 9 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Alison Kearns
