A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW ADOPTING VOLUME I AND MOUNTAIN VIEW’S ANNEX WITHIN
VOLUME II OF THE 2023 SANTA CLARA COUNTY OPERATIONAL AREA
MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
WHEREAS, in December 2022, a coalition of Santa Clara County public agencies embarked on a planning process to prepare for and lessen the impacts of specified natural hazards by updating the Santa Clara County Operational Area Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP or Plan), which is the blueprint for reducing the Operational Area’s vulnerability to disasters and hazards; and
WHEREAS, the partnership was formed to respond to federal mandates in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106 -390), to pool resources, and to create a uniform hazard mitigation strategy that can be consistently applied to the defined Countywide planning area and used to ensure eligibility for specified grant funding success; and
WHEREAS, an MJHMP outlines strategies for long -term reduction of hazard vulnerability, and an effective MJHMP can potentially reduce the enormous cost of disasters to property owners and all levels of government, protect critical community facilities , reduce exposure to liability, and minimize postdisaster community disruption; and
WHEREAS, the result of the County wide organizational effort is a two -volume MJHMP, which will be a FEMA - and California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) -approved multi- jurisdictional, multi-hazard mitigation plan; and
WHEREAS, each jurisdiction has been responsible for the review and approval of their individual sections of the Plan , and the Plan presents the accumulated information in a unified framework to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated hazard mitigation plan that covers the entire Santa Clara County Operational Area planning area that is aligned with the goals, objectives, and priorities of the state’s multi-hazard mitigation plan; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the Plan, which has been approved by FEMA, will allow the jurisdictional partners to collectively and individually become eligible to apply for hazard mitigation project funding; now, therefore, be it
