RE: Project List in Consideration of SB1 The Road Repair and Accountability Act (RMRA): Resolution 2653
BACKGROUND:

In 2017, the State Legislature signed the Road Repair and Accountability Act (Senate Bill 1) into law.

SB 1 requires the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to adopt performance criteria, consistent with a specified asset management plan, to ensure efficient use of certain funds available for the program.

SB 1 also requires the City to annually adopt a list of projects planned to be completed with SB 1 RMRA funding. The list is required to be approved by the City Council at a public meeting and included in the City budget. Resolution 2653, addresses the requirement and contains the project list.

The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has reviewed this resolution as part of the process required and approved the version presented to City Council.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2653. Following Council approval, the appropriate documentation will be submitted to the CTC by staff, as outlined above.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact to adoption of this Resolution.

1 MEETING DATE: June 10, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: 8. Fire Assessment Funds: Resolution 2652
FROM: Susan Scarlett
RE: Fire Assessment Funds: Resolution 2652
BACKGROUND:

In 1984 an election was held for an assessment on the property tax rolls for fire protection and suppression facilities and services for the City of Portola. This assessment passed and was included on property tax bills from that time forward. The election to form the Beckwourth Peak Fire Protection District as the consolidated Fire District that included the City of Portola eliminated this assessment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City has received $5,738.16 for the Fire Assessment that was generated by the payment of past due property tax bills. It is possible that some amount may come to the City in the future as well.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution 2652 transferring these funds to the Beckwourth Peak Fire Protection District as well as any future funds that come from the same source.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City has no Fire Department and therefore no expenses that these funds would cover.

1 MEETING DATE: June 10, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: 9. 2026 Plumas County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update:

Resolution No. 2654
FROM: Carter Williams, Contract Planner
RE: 2026 Plumas County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update:

Resolution No. 2654
BACKGROUND:

Section 322 of the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA) specifically addresses mitigation planning at the state and local levels. The DMA identifies requirements that allow Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds to be used for pre-disaster planning activities and increases the amount of HMGP funds available to states that have developed a comprehensive, enhanced mitigation plan prior to a disaster.

States and communities must have an approved mitigation plan in place prior to receiving pre-disaster HMGP funds.

In January 2025, Plumas County initiated a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan update. The City of Portola elected to join Plumas County as a participating jurisdiction in their update forming a Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJLHMP). In January of 2026, Plumas County finalized the MJLHMP and the Portola Annex and submitted the plan to FEMA for approval.

On May 1, 2026, FEMA acknowledged that the MJLHMP has been approved pending adoption. For final approval of the plan, all participating jurisdictions must approve a resolution adopting the MJLHMP. Once adopted, the resolutions are to be forwarded to California Office of Emergency Services and the FEMA Region IX officials for final approval from FEMA.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The proposed resolution seeks City Council adoption of the 2026 Plumas County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJLHMP), a federally required plan under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 that enables eligibility for pre-disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding. The City of Portola participated in the county-led update and is pending formal adoption by all jurisdictions. Adoption will allow staff to submit the resolution to Cal OES and FEMA for final approval. While there is no direct fiscal impact, maintaining an approved plan is necessary for grant eligibility, and future integration of the MJLHMP into the City’s General Plan Safety Element will also support compliance with AB 2140 to maximize post-disaster cost reimbursement. The plan does not introduce development or policy changes and is exempt from CEQA. Staff recommends approval and submittal of the resolution to complete the process.

Page 58 ends

2 NEXT STEPS AND AB 2140 COMPLIANCE:

Upon Council direction, staff will submit the adoption resolution to Cal OES and FEMA Region IX Officials to receive final approval of the MJLHMP.

Under the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA), authorizes the reimbursement by the State of the local share of post-disaster costs incurred from a disaster event. To be eligible for the entire local share of costs, the City of Portola must adopt the MJLHMP into the Safety Element of the General Plan. It is anticipated that the Safety Element update will be completed in August of 2026. At that time, a separate resolution will be brought before this Council to comply with AB 2140 to be eligible for full reimbursement of post-disaster local share costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The MJLHMP does not propose any land use, programmatic, or strategic direction changes. No development or earth disturbing activities are approved with the adoption of the MJLHMP.

It is expected that the amendment will be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) based on the following exemptions:
1) Since the proposed activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2); 2) In light of the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3); and 3) Because the implementation of the Security Element and MJLHMP will include actions taken by regulatory agencies to maintain and protect natural resources and the environment, the project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15307 and 15308.

FISCAL IMPACT:

To be eligible for Hazard Mitigation Program Grant (HMPG) funding for pre-disaster mitigation, the city is required to have a LHMP in compliance with Section 322 of the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000

Plumas County i
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
Executive Summary
Plumas County, the City of Portola, and eight special districts prepared this Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP or Plan) Update to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved single jurisdictional 2020 Plumas County LHMP and the single jurisdictional 2019 City of Portola LHMP. This 2026 Plumas County LHMP is a multi-jurisdictional plan that geographically covers the entire area within Plumas County’s jurisdictional boundaries (hereinafter referred to as the Planning Area). It melds the two previous LHMPs from Plumas County and the City of Portola. The following jurisdictions participated in the Plan development process and are seeking FEMA approval of the LHMP Update:
➢ Plumas County*
➢ City of Portola**
➢ Chester Public Utility District
➢ Feather River Resource Conservation District
➢ Gold Mountain Community Services District
➢ Indian Valley Community Services District
➢ Plumas Corporation
➢ Plumas Fire Safe Council
➢ Plumas Eureka Community Services District
➢ South Feather Water and Power Agency
* Participated in 2020 Plumas County LHMP
**Participated in the 2019 City of Portola LHMP
The purpose of this 2026 Plumas County LHMP Update and hazard mitigation planning processis to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property, critical facilities and infrastructure, natural and historic and cultural resources, and other community assets from future hazard events and natural disasters. This LHMP Update demonstrates the participating jurisdictions’ commitment to reducing risks from hazards and serves as a tool to help decision makers direct mitigation activities and resources. This LHMP Update was also developed in order for the participating jurisdictions to be eligible for certain federal disaster assistance, specifically, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, and the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program.

Each year in the United States, natural disasters take the lives of hundreds of people and injure thousands more. Nationwide, taxpayers pay billions of dollars annually to help communities, organizations, businesses, and individuals recover from disasters. These monies only partially reflect the true cost of disasters, because additional expenses to insurance companies and nongovernmental organizations are not reimbursed by tax dollars. Many natural disasters are predictable, and much of the damage caused by these events can be alleviated or even eliminated through natural hazard mitigation. 2026 LHMP Update Plan Development Process
Hazard mitigation planning is the process through which hazards that threaten communities are identified, likely impacts determined, mitigation goals set, and appropriate mitigation strategies determined,

prioritized, and implemented. This LHMP Update documents the 2026 hazard mitigation planning process and identifies relevant hazards, community risk and vulnerabilities, and mitigation strategies the participating jurisdictions will use to decrease vulnerability and increase resiliency and sustainability in the Plumas County Planning Area.

This LHMP Update was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390), the implementing regulations set forth by the Interim Final Rule published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002, (44 CFR §201.6) and finalized on October 31, 2007, and current FEMA guidance. Plumas County jurisdictions followed a planning process prescribed by FEMA as detailed in Table ES-1.

A detailed risk assessment was then conducted followed by the development of a focused mitigation strategy for the Plumas County Planning Area and specific to each participating jurisdiction.

Once approved by Cal OES and FEMA, this 2026 Plumas County LHMP Update will be adopted and implemented by the participating jurisdictions over the next five years.

Risk Assessment
A natural hazard risk assessment was conducted that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to the Plumas County Planning Area and to each participating jurisdiction, assessed the vulnerability of the

Mitigation Strategy
Based on the results of the risk assessment, a mitigation action strategy was developed to reduce the Plumas County Planning Area’s risk and vulnerability to identified natural hazards. The resulting mitigation strategy is comprised of goals and objectives, and a mitigation action plan which includes a series of mitigation actions, projects, and implementation measures. The 2026 LHMP Update Goals and Objectives are detailed below followed by a summary table of the 2026 mitigation actions and projects.

Goal #1: Minimize loss of life and injuries and protect public health, property, and the environment from natural hazards
➢ Minimize impact to all populations, including vulnerable and underserved populations ➢ Minimize impact to existing and future development, both public and private ➢ Minimize economic and natural resource impact
➢ Promote resiliency strategies
Goal #2: Minimize losses and damages, and provide protection for critical facilities, infrastructure, and services from hazard impacts
➢ Implement critical facility upgrades and mitigation measures to current standards and codes to better withstand future hazard events and to ensure reliability of critical services (e.g., communications, power, water)
➢ Update and maintain a GIS database of critical facilities to include: Essential Services, At-Risk Populations, and Hazardous Materials Facilities
Goal #3: Increase community and public awareness, education, preparedness, and self-reliance to natural hazards
➢ Enhance public and stakeholder outreach, education, and preparedness programs to include all hazards of concern
➢ Increase public and stakeholder knowledge about the risk and vulnerability to identified hazards and how to be more self-reliant in mitigating risks from natural hazards ➢ Provide viable local resources and information (i.e., training, technical assistance, education) to promote implementation of self-reliant mitigation actions and to support informed decision-making before, during, and after a disaster
➢ Provide public and stakeholder education and outreach specific to evacuation routes, available emergency communication modes, and roles and responsibilities Goal #4: Strengthen and improve communities' capabilities, capacity, and effectiveness to mitigate hazards, reduce losses, and be prepared for, respond to, and recover from a disaster event in Plumas County
➢ Improve coordination of local, state, and federal resources and community partners ➢ Enhance emergency communication capabilities (e.g., cell phones, radios, sirens, reverse 911) ➢ Ensure continuity of government operations
➢ Increase use of shared resources, enhance resource availability, and build local resources in a meaningful way to support all mitigation partners (i.e., government, community, individuals)

Plumas County 1-1
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose
Plumas County, the City of Portola, and eight special districts and agencies prepared this 2026 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Update to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved single jurisdictional, 2020 Plumas County LHMP and the single jurisdictional 2019 City of Portola LHMP. The purpose of this LHMP Update is to guide hazard mitigation planning to better protect the people and property of the County from the effects of hazard events and natural disasters. This LHMP Update demonstrates the communities’ commitment to reducing risks from hazards and serves as a tool to help decision makers direct mitigation activities and resources. This LHMP Update was also developed, among other things, to ensure Plumas County and participating jurisdictions’ continued eligibility for certain federal disaster assistance: specifically, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, and the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program.

1.2 Background and Scope
Each year in the United States, natural disasters take the lives of hundreds of people and injure thousands more. Nationwide, taxpayers pay billions of dollars annually to help communities, organizations, businesses, and individuals recover from disasters. These monies only partially reflect the true cost of disasters, because most expenses to insurance companies and non-governmental organizations are not reimbursed by tax dollars. Although the timing of natural disasters is unpredictable, their occurrence is largely predictable over time, and much of the damage caused by these events can be significantly reduced through hazard mitigation.

Hazard mitigation is defined by FEMA as “any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from a hazard event.” The results of a three-year, congressionally mandated independent study to assess future savings from mitigation activities provide evidence that, overall, mitigation activities are highly cost-effective investments. On average, each dollar spent on mitigation saves society an average of $6 in avoided future losses in addition to saving lives and preventing injuries (National Institute of Building Science Multi-Hazard Mitigation Council 2019 Interim Report) (see Figure 1-1).

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
Figure 1-1 Natural Hazard Mitigation Savings by Hazard Type and Mitigation Type Source: National Institute of Building Science Multi-Hazard Mitigation Council 2019 Interim Report Hazard mitigation planning is the process through which hazards are identified, likely impacts determined, mitigation goals set, and appropriate mitigation strategies determined, prioritized, and implemented. This plan documents Plumas County’s hazard mitigation planning process and identifies relevant hazards and vulnerabilities and strategies the County and participating jurisdictions will use to decrease vulnerability and increase resiliency and sustainability in the community.

This Plumas County 2026 LHMP is a multi-jurisdictional plan that geographically covers the entire area within Plumas County’s jurisdictional boundaries (hereinafter referred to as the Planning Area). The following jurisdictions participated in the planning process and are seeking FEMA approval of the LHMP Update:
➢ Plumas County*
➢ City of Portola**
➢ Chester Public Utility District
➢ Feather River Resource Conservation District
➢ Gold Mountain Community Services District
➢ Indian Valley Community Services District
➢ Plumas Corporation
➢ Plumas Fire Safe Council
➢ Plumas Eureka Community Services District
➢ South Feather Water and Power Agency
* Participated in 2020 Plumas County LHMP
**Participated in the 2019 City of Portola LHMP
This LHMP Update was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390) and the implementing regulations set forth by the Interim Final Rule published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002, (44 CFR §201.6) and finalized on October 31, 2007. (Hereafter, these requirements and regulations will be referred to collectively as the Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) or DMA 2000.) This planning effort also follows FEMA’s most current effective LHMP Preparation and Review Guidance, LHMP Policy Guide FP 206-21-0002 effective April 11, 2025. While DMA 2000

Plumas County 1-3

emphasized the need for mitigation plans and more coordinated mitigation planning and implementation efforts, the regulations establish the requirements that local hazard mitigation plans must meet in order for a local jurisdiction to be eligible for certain federal disaster assistance and hazard mitigation funding under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Act (Public Law 93-288). Because the Plumas County Planning Area is subject to many kinds of hazards, access to these programs is vital.

Information in this LHMP Update will be used to help guide and coordinate mitigation activities and decisions for local land use policy in the future. Proactive mitigation planning will help reduce the cost of disaster response and recovery to communities and their residents by protecting public health and safety and critical community facilities; reducing liability exposure; and minimizing overall community impacts and disruptions. In the past, the Plumas County Planning Area has been affected by numerous hazards on multiple occasions. Plumas County, the City of Portola, and the eight participating jurisdictions are thus committed to reducing future impacts from hazard events and maintaining eligibility for mitigation-related federal funding.

1.3 Plumas County Profile
Plumas County is located in northern California, where the Sierra Nevada meets the Cascade Range. The County comprises 2,618 sq. mi., of which over 1 million acres (65 percent) is national forest land. There are approximately 1,000 miles of streams and 100 lakes, the 5,000-acre Plumas Eureka State Park, Lassen Volcanic National Park (southern part of Plumas County), ski areas, motels, and resorts throughout the County. Nearly 80 miles of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail passes through Plumas County. The City of Portola is the only incorporated community in the County. The nearest communities to Portola are Beckwourth, about 5 miles to the east and Blairsden/Graeagle, about 10 miles to the west. The Town of Quincy, the County seat, is about 35 miles to the west, and the City of Reno, Nevada, is about 50 miles to the southeast.

A map of Plumas County is shown on Figure 1-2. Multiple entities own land in Plumas County.

Approximately 90.2% of the County is federal lands. A land ownership map can be seen on Figure 1-3 and is detailed in Table 1-1.

1.3.1. History
The area currently known as Plumas County has been a site for human activity since the Stone Ages approximately 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. As glaciers receded from the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades, humans migrated to the foothills and valleys protected by higher elevation. Since then, humans have become an integral part of the ecology in Plumas County. This is particularly apparent through documented use of fire to facilitate the propagation and gathering of plant species used for medicinal purposes, food, and other needs. Native peoples harvested or extracted and then processed stone, acorn, pine nut, basketry fiber, and other resources for their sustenance. This activity also resulted in visible alterations to the land and natural resources across Plumas County.

The Mountain Maidu were the last tribal group present in Plumas County when European migrants began to settle in the area. Some sources say the Mountain Maidu people have lived in various locations in Plumas County from hundreds to thousands of years ago and still do today. Other tribes, such as the Washoe and the Paiute, have also utilized the area but did not settle permanently. The existence of the Mountain Maidu people was disrupted in the 1850s by the gold-seeking miners, who, overnight, transformed Plumas County into a gold mining region. Rivers were diverted and ditches were dug to bring water from distant sources for mining purposes.

The North, Middle, and South forks of the Feather River were named in 1821 by Captain Luis Arguello as the Rio de las Plumas (“River of Feathers”) after the Spanish explorer saw what looked like bird feathers floating in the water. “Plumas,” the Spanish word for “feathers,” later became the name for the county. The river and its forks were the primary sites of early mining activity, with many smaller camps located on their tributaries. Gold mining remained the main industry in the area for the next five decades. In March of 1854, Plumas County was formed from the eastern and largest portion of Butte County with the town of Quincy chosen as the county seat. A large part of Plumas County was carved off to form present day Lassen County in 1864, shortly after Plumas County annexed a small portion of Sierra County, which included the town of La Porte.

1.3.2. Geography and Climate
Plumas County is east of Interstate 5 and north of Interstate 80. U.S. Highway 395 passes to the east. State Highway (SH) 36 passes near Lake Almanor on its way from the coast to Susanville. The Feather River National Scenic Byway begins 10 miles north of Oroville at SH 70 and winds through the Feather River Canyon and along the North Fork of the Feather River.

Plumas County is uniquely located at the northern end of the granitic Sierra Nevada where the range intersects with the volcanic Cascade Range. It is this geology that has laid the foundation for the diverse mineral resources and forest lands that are second only to the North Coast forests in production. Plumas County is also home to the largest high elevation valley-meadow complex in California, and is characterized by a large network of streams and rivers that are all part of the greater Feather River Watershed. The Feather River Watershed is the largest watershed in the Sierra Nevada and includes almost all of Plumas County. This watershed contributes to the water supply of over 25 million Californians (60 percent of California’s population).

The County has a total area of 2,613 square miles, of which 2,554 square miles is land and 59.8 square miles is water. It is bounded by Shasta County to the northwest; Lassen County to the north and east; Sierra County, Yuba County to the south, Butte County to the south and west; and Tehama County to the west. 65 percent of the County’s land area is public lands managed by the United States Forest Service, the majority of which falls within the Plumas National Forest and other areas within the Lassen, Toiyabe, and Tahoe National Forests. Additionally, the County contains a portion of the Lassen Volcanic National Park and is home to the Plumas Eureka State Park.

Plumas County is topographically diverse. The elevation ranges from 1,180 feet in the Sierra Valley, to 8,376 feet in the Sierra Nevada range. This can be seen in Figure 1-2Figure 1-2 above. The western portion of the County lies in the Sierra Nevada and is characterized by steep slopes, which become valleys and gentler rolling hills in the eastern portion of the County. This variation in topography drives the County’s weather patterns, amount and type of precipitation, and overall vulnerabilities to natural hazards.

Plumas County has a Mediterranean climate, with a mean annual temperature of 49°F to 57°F. Temperature extremes in the County can be below 0°F to over 110°F; precipitation varies from 70 inches on the western slope to 12 inches on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. Mean annual precipitation is 43 inches, which falls mostly as rain below 4,000 feet and as snow above 4,000 feet in elevation.

The Base Plan provides the overall framework for this multi-jurisdictional LHMP. It is the umbrella document that includes the planning process, methodologies, and process requirements for all participating jurisdictions (i.e., unincorporated County and all Jurisdictional Annexes). As such, Chapters 1-7 of the Base Plan apply to the unincorporated County, the City, and the eight special Districts as participants to this LHMP Update seeking FEMA approval of the Plan. Because this is a multi-jurisdictional plan, the Base Plan addresses the LHMP hazard mitigation planning elements specific to the Plumas County Planning Area which includes data, information and analysis specific to all participating jurisdictions and also includes data, information, and analysis specific to unincorporated Plumas County.

The Jurisdictional Annexes detail the hazard mitigation planning elements specific to each additional participating jurisdiction to this Plumas County LHMP Update. Each annex is not intended to be a standalone document, but appends to, supplements, and incorporates by reference the information contained in the Base Plan document. As such, all Chapters 1-7 of the Base Plan, including the planning process and other procedural requirements and planning elements apply to and were met by each participating jurisdiction. The annexes provide additional information specific to each participating jurisdiction, with a focus on providing additional details on the risk assessment and mitigation strategy.

The Appendices provide additional information, data, and planning process documentation that applies to all participating jurisdictions (i.e., unincorporated County and all jurisdictional annexes) to this Plumas County LHMP Update.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
Chapter 2 What’s New
44 CFR §201.6(d)(3) and §201.7(d)(3): A local jurisdiction must review and revise its plan to reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities, and resubmit it for approval within 5 years in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding.

The previous 2020/2019 Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMP), being updated as part of this 2026 Plumas County LHMP Update, contained descriptions of planning processes, the risk assessments of identified hazards, and mitigation strategiesfor reducing the risk and vulnerability from these hazards. Since approval of the 2020/2019 Plumas County/City of Portola LHMPs by FEMA, progress has been made on implementation of the 2020/2019 mitigation strategies, by the County and City. As part of this LHMP Update, a thorough review and update of the 2020/2019 LHMPs was conducted to ensure that this 2026 Plumas County LHMP Update reflects current conditions and priorities in order to realign the updated mitigation strategy for the forthcoming five-year planning period. This chapter of the 2026 LHMP Update includes the following:
➢ What’s New in the LHMP Update. Section 2.1 provides an overview of the approach to updating the previous LHMPs and identifies new analyses, data and information included in this LHMP Update to reflect current community conditions. This includes a summary of new hazard and risk assessment data as it relates to the Plumas County Planning Area and participating jurisdictions as well as information on current and future development trends affecting hazard vulnerability and related issues.

The actual updated data, discussions, and associated analyses are contained in their respective sections within this LHMP Update.
➢ Summary of Significant Changes to Current Conditions, Planning Area Vulnerability, and Hazard Mitigation Program Priorities. Section 2.2 provides a summary of significant changes in current conditions, changes in hazard vulnerability, and resulting modifications to the Plumas County and City of Portola hazard mitigation program priorities. ➢ 2020/2019 Mitigation Strategy Status and Successes. Section 2.3.1 provides a description of the status of mitigation actions from the 2020/2019 LHMPs and also indicates whether a project is no longer relevant or is recommended for inclusion in the updated mitigation strategy. This section also highlights key mitigation success stories since the 2020/2019 LHMPs.

This What’s New chapter provides documentation of Plumas County’s and the City of Portola’s, progress or changes in risk and vulnerability to hazards and overall hazard mitigation programs since their previous plans. Completion of this 2026 Plumas County LHMP Update further provides documentation of the County’s, the City’s and all participating jurisdictions’ continued commitment and engagement in the hazard mitigation planning process.

2.1 What’s New in the Plan Update
Preparing the 2026 LHMP Update involved a comprehensive review and update of each section of the 2020/2019 LHMPs and includes an assessment of the success of Plumas County and the City of Portola in

evaluating, monitoring, and implementing the mitigation strategy outlined in their 2020/2019 LHMPs.

Only the information and data still valid from the 2020/2019 LHMPs was carried forward as applicable into this LHMP Update. In addition, new information obtained from the County, the City, and eight special districts to this LHMP Update were also integrated as appropriate.

Also to be noted, Chapter 7 Implementation and Maintenance of this LHMP Update identifies key requirements for updating future plans:
➢ Consider changes in vulnerability due to action implementation of mitigation actions; ➢ Document success stories where mitigation actions have proven effective; ➢ Document areas where mitigation actions were not effective; ➢ Document any new hazards that may arise or were previously overlooked; ➢ Incorporate new data or studies on hazards and risks; ➢ Incorporate new capabilities or changes in capabilities; ➢ Incorporate growth and development-related changes to inventories; and ➢ Incorporate new recommended mitigation actions or changes in the prioritization of mitigation actions.

These requirements and others as detailed throughout this Plan were addressed during this LHMP Update process.

As part of the comprehensive review and update of each section for this 2026 LHMP Update, the County, City, and all participating jurisdictions recognized that updated data, if available, would enhance the analysis presented in the risk assessment and utilized in the development of the updated mitigation strategy.

Highlights of new data used for this LHMP Update are identified below and also sourced in context within both the Chapter 4 Risk Assessment and the jurisdictional annexes. Sources of specific data used are also provided throughout this LHMP Update and included in Appendix D References. This new data and associated analyses contributed to the development of the updated risk assessment and mitigation strategy presented in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 of this LHMP Update, as well as within the jurisdictional annexes to this Plan.

Highlights of new information and analyses contained in this LHMP Update includes the following:
➢ A thorough countywide planning process was conducted for this multi-jurisdictional LHMP Update including outreaching and inviting a broad range of agency, public, and private stakeholders for all participating jurisdictions, including those supporting underserved and vulnerable populations in the Plumas County Planning Area.
➢ Disaster declarations were updated, including federal, state, and USDA disaster declarations. NCDC Storm Events and past historic hazard occurrences since the previous plans were added for each jurisdiction.
➢ A Local Concerns section was added to each jurisdiction’s vulnerability assessment to capture local issues and to support the resulting mitigation strategy. ➢ Incorporation and analysis of the updated California Department of Finance population data was utilized for this LHMP Update.

➢ A detailed discussion of socially vulnerable and underserved populations were added to the Base Plan and to each jurisdictional annex and included a discussion of how these populations could be affected by each hazard.
➢ An updated critical facility GIS layer was provided by the County and jurisdictions for the Plumas County Planning Area. This allowed for an updated analysis of critical facilities for each mapped hazard in the Plumas County Planning Area.
➢ Community lifelines were added to the overall asset inventory. ➢ Economic assets and community activities of value were added to the overall asset inventory. ➢ Development since the last plan was analyzed in detail for the County and the City. ➢ Future development was gathered from each jurisdiction and analyzed using the most recent hazard data. This was included in the Base Plan for the County and within Portola’s annex. ➢ A new section on Power Shortage/Failure was added. Public Safety Power Shutoff events were also added.
➢ Impacts of climate change, changes in population patterns, and changes in land use and development was reviewed and discussed for each hazard and for each jurisdiction. ➢ Cal-Adapt and other state and local climate change data was added to the climate change section, as well as to other hazards that are exacerbated by climate change. ➢ Most hazards from the 2019/2020 LHMPs were profiled in this LHMP Update, with the exception of pandemic. Levee failure was placed inside the flood hazard. Avalanche was placed into the severe weather: extreme cold, freeze, and snow hazard. Tree mortality issues were added to the drought and water shortage hazard. Air quality issues were added to wildfire. Agricultural hazards were added.

Hazardous materials transportation was also added as a new hazard. ➢ An updated and enhanced assessment of each participating jurisdictions’ continued compliance with the NFIP was conducted and used to support additional flood risk reduction measures. ➢ FEMA National Risk Index data for the County was added to all of the natural hazards in the Base Plan. ➢ New dam data provided by Cal OES and CA DSOD was used for the dam inventory and analysis. This data included an updated hazard classification for identified dams and updated inundation mapping.

Assets at risk to dam inundation was analyzed. Critical facilities at risk to dams were tabulated. ➢ Additional Hazus runs were performed on four separate earthquake shake scenarios for the Plumas County Planning Area.
➢ Deep seated landslide data was added to the landslide hazard profile and vulnerability analysis. An analysis was performed on values at risk (including populations, structures, critical facilities, and future development).
➢ New CAL FIRE mapping and analyses were conducted using the 2024 State Responsibility Area and the 2025 Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zones data. ➢ To better meet the revised FEMA plan review tool, a more extensive analysis of the extents to identified hazards was conducted and included in this LHMP Update for all jurisdictions. ➢ Special Districts’ annexes include hazard maps and hazard extent tables for all mapped hazards of concern.

➢ Drought conditions, including areas of water shortage vulnerability in the County, have had an impact on the Plumas County Planning Area and California. As a result, the drought and water shortage hazard continues to be a significant priority for mitigation planning. ➢ The 2035 General Plan Water Resources Element noted that the amount of precipitation received throughout the watershed varies but greatly contributes to the significant amount of water available in the County and throughout the region.
➢ Recent 2023 disaster declarations occurred related to heavy rains, storms, and flooding. While these storms temporarily provided relief from drought conditions in the County, due to the cyclical nature of drought and storm events, the County remains vulnerable to drought. ➢ Drought impacts the stability of soils in Plumas County leading to more erosion and other issues. ➢ Drought and water shortage conditions adversely impact the ag industry in the County Planning Area. ➢ Water quality concerns are exacerbated in drought conditions including those associated with post fire watershed impacts.
➢ Recent years of drought conditions, combined with overall increase in temperatures, leaves trees more susceptible to disease and contributes to the increase in tree mortality, dry fuels, and general increase in wildfire conditions.
➢ In the past decade, tree mortality has increased in the northern portion of Plumas County as well as the Lakes Basin area.
➢ Plumas County is participating in the State’s Drought Resilience Interagency and Partners (DRIP) collaborative, consistent with Senate Bill 552, and established to enhance California’s resilience to drought and water shortage.

Flood: Localized
Stormwater Flooding
X
➢ Climate change issues may result in more localized flooding as the climate warms and more frequent, wetter, and greater intensity storms create more runoff. Weather extremes seem more variable – the Planning Area tends to fluctuate between heavy rains and dry periods. ➢ New development in unmapped flood hazard areas could result in a net increase in vulnerability should these areas experience increased stormwater/localized flooding. However, development requirements that require mitigation of stormwater runoff help to mitigate this hazard. ➢ Recent storms, including significant, greater intensity atmospheric river events, resulted in more localized flooding throughout the Planning Area. Generally, damage occurs in low lying areas around the rivers and streams. Road damage and closures continue to occur during heavy storm events. ➢ Rain on snow events compound flooding in the Plumas County Planning Area. ➢ Outdated drainage systems also contribute to a greater vulnerability to localized, stormwater flooding. ➢ Recent drought conditions in some areas have hardened soils and predisposed areas to worse flooding. ➢ Recent changes in vegetation caused by past drought conditions as well as large fires also contribute to more runoff and clogged drainages, especially in post-fire burn scar areas. 2026 LHMP Update

➢ With the most recent drought, as well as with all the recent wildfires in the County, much of the vegetation along sloped areas was lost contributing to a lack of vegetation to hold soil resulting in a greater landslide/mudslide/debris flow potential.
➢ Compounded by climate change, heavy rains and higher intensity storm events, such as atmospheric rivers and rain on snow events, contribute to saturated and barren soils, increasing the landslide potential increased in the Planning Area.
➢ Tree mitigation activities and timber harvesting creates additional areas susceptible to erosion and other slope failures. This is compounded by recent fires.
➢ Numerous recent fires since the 2020/2019 LHMPs, resulting in loss of vegetation has increased the potential for mudslides and debris flows in post fire areas. 2026 LHMP Update

This also contributes to debris flows in post wildfire burn areas. ➢ Heavy rain and storm events, including hail and high winds continue to occur in the County impacting crops and the agricultural industry.
➢ The potential for power outages increases during extreme storm events, leaving the Planning Area and its residents more vulnerable.
➢ Dry lightning events cause numerous ignitions, some resulting in out of control wildfires. ➢ The County is seeing more rain on snow events which create the potential for significant flood events. ➢ Post fire conditions from numerous wildfire events since the last plan, result in greater vulnerability to mudslides and debris flows during periods of heavy rain and storms. ➢ Climate change brings renewed concern moving forward for heavy and more intense rains, storms and associated issues to the County.

➢ New CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) mapping in the County has placed more of the County in high and very high FHSZs since the last plans. ➢ Climate change continues to affect the nature and intensity of wildfires. ➢ Compounded by current drought conditions (increasing tree mortality and overall wildfire conditions) and followed by heavy rain events, the wildfire hazard has substantially increased and is no longer just a seasonal issue. The wildfire season, including the potential for a catastrophic wildfire, is a year around concern.
➢ More weather extremes occurring in the County, including extreme wet periods followed by extreme dry periods, increase fuels in the County making it more susceptible to out of control wildfires. This is compounded by dryer and warmer fall and winter seasons, which when aligned with high wind conditions, increases the potential for catastrophic wildfire. ➢ Increased development in WUI areas within the County also contributes to an increase in vulnerability. ➢ Effective fuels management within the County continues to be an issue with much of the County under federal land ownership.
➢ Century old and aging infrastructure has contributed to the wildfire issue. This contributes to ignitions as well as making wildfire more difficult to battle once an ignition has occurred. ➢ Limited fire resistant building construction in older areas of the County has led to more communities being at risk and vulnerable to large, catastrophic wildfires. ➢ The road network and infrastructure, including construction, connectivity, signage, and ingress-egress issues compound the wildfire vulnerability and impacts. ➢ Land ownership is a big issue in the County. Federal and private owned lands address wildfire mitigation differently. Significant fuel loading on Federal lands, including in post fire areas where standing dead and downed trees and ground fuels are abundant, create the potential for catastrophic wildfires and make fire fighting more difficult. The threat of wildfires on federal lands spreading onto private and County owned lands is a significant concern.

➢ Wind has been a major contributor to the potential for a catastrophic wildfire. And when combined with extreme heat, also can trigger a PSPS which leaves the community further at risk. ➢ With large wildfires occurring throughout California, the Planning Area has seen a significant change in air quality from smoke resulting in more recorded bad air days.

➢ Fire Wise community certification has been sought and achieved by the City. ➢ The City has pursued education and outreach on hazards that may affect the City. ➢ The City has sought to create new mutual aid agreements, and has deepened previous aid agreements.

During previous wildfires, this has assisted the City in working together with local (and federal) partners.

2.3.2. 2020/2019 Mitigation Strategy Update
The 2020/2019 LHMPs contained separate mitigation strategies for each participating jurisdiction. These have been combined below. The 2019/2020 LHMPs contained 80 separate mitigation actions for the jurisdictions:
➢ 45 of these were County actions. Of these, 4 are complete, 22 are ongoing, and 19 have not been started. 24 actions have been identified for inclusion in this LHMP Update and have been carried forward in Chapter 5.
➢ 35 of these were City of Portola actions. Of these, 3 are complete, 24 are ongoing, and 8 have not been started. 12 actions have been identified for inclusion in this LHMP Update and have been carried forward in Chapter 5.

It should also be noted that FEMA HMGP grants have been pursued for several projects since the 2020 Plumas County LHMP:
➢ Plumas County Action #40, Plumas County Ignition-Resistant Construction and Defensible Space Project (AP-01117), a Wildfire and Vegetation Management project, has been approved for FEMA HMGP funding and is currently awaiting final FEMA sign off. The total grant amount is $2,567,410.00 (Federal Share - $1,925,557.50 / Non-Federal Match - $641,852.50 of which $550,000 is from CDBGDR). This includes Phase 1 project costs of $139,360.00 and Phase 2 project costs -of $2,428,050.00. ➢ Plumas County Action #31, Evaluate and Implement Wolf Creek Channel Stabilization Projects through Greenville and Indian Valley Areas was refined into a Flood Adaptation project (AP-01135) to reduce or prevent flood-related risk resulting from severe burning from the 2021 Dixie Fire. The FEMA HMGP application was favored by Cal OES as a viable mitigation action for FEMA HMGP funding. It is currently still in the Cal OES application process until a viable local match can be identified.
➢ While not a specific project in the 2020 LHMP, Plumas County applied for an obtained a FEMA HMGP grant (AP-01065) to fund this 2026 LHMP Update. Specifically, the grant specified that Plumas County would update its single-jurisdiction LHMP to a multi-jurisdictional LHMP with multiple participating jurisdictions. This 2026 Plumas County LHMP Update is the product of this HMGP grant.

Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 provides a status summary of the mitigation action projects from the 2020/2019 LHMPs.

Chapter 3 Planning Process
44 CFR §201.6(b) and §201.6(c)(1): An open public involvement process is essential to the development of an effective plan. In order to develop a more comprehensive approach to reducing the effects of natural disasters, the planning process shall include:
1) An opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval;
2) An opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities, and agencies that have the authority to regulate development, as well as businesses, academia, and other private and nonprofit interests to be involved in the planning process; and
3) Review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information.
[The plan shall document] the planning process used to develop the plan, including how it was prepared, who was involved in the process, and how the public was involved.

Plumas County, as the project lead for this 2026 Plumas County Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP Update, recognized the importance and need of the update process for their single-jurisdictional 2020 LHMP and initiated the development of a Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP that included the City of Portola and eight participating special districts. As such, this 2026 LHMP Update is also an update to the City of Portola’s single-jurisdictional 2019 LHMP; this is the first LHMP for the eight participating special districts.

After securing funding for this LHMP Update, Plumas County contracted with Foster Morrison Consulting, Ltd. (Foster Morrison) to facilitate and develop the Plan. Jeanine Foster, a professional planner with Foster Morrison, was the project manager in charge of overseeing the planning process and the development of this LHMP Update. Chris Morrison, also a professional planner with Foster Morrison, was the lead planner for the development of this LHMP Update. The Foster Morrison’s team’s role was to:
➢ Assist in establishing the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) as defined by the Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA);
➢ Meet the DMA requirements as established by federal regulations and following FEMA’s planning guidance;
➢ Support objectives under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program;
➢ Facilitate the entire planning process;
➢ Identify the data requirements that HMPC participants could provide and conduct the research and documentation necessary to augment that data;
➢ Assist in facilitating the public input process;
➢ Produce the draft and final plan documents; and
➢ Coordinate with the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and FEMA Region IX plan reviews.

3.1 Local Government Participation
Plumas County and the other participating jurisdictions made a commitment to this 2026 Plumas County Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP Update. The DMA planning regulations and guidance stress that each local government (participating jurisdiction) seeking FEMA approval of their mitigation plan must participate in the planning effort in the following ways:
➢ Participate in the process as part of the HMPC;
➢ Detail where within the Plumas County Planning Area the risk differs from that facing the entire area; ➢ Identify potential mitigation actions; and
➢ Formally adopt the Plan.

For all participating jurisdictions, “participation” meant the following:
➢ Attending and participating in the HMPC meetings;
➢ Completing and returning the Data Collection Worksheets; ➢ Collecting and providing other requested data (as available); ➢ Coordinating information sharing between internal and external agencies; ➢ Managing administrative details;
➢ Making decisions on LHMP process and content;
➢ Discussing their participation in the NFIP and any identified repetitive loss properties; ➢ Addressing changes in development since the 2020/2019 LHMPs and new development considerations; ➢ Providing status of 2020/2019 actions and identifying mitigation actions for the Plan; ➢ Identifying opportunities for integrating the completed Plan into other planning mechanisms; ➢ Identifying jurisdictional capabilities to support mitigation strategy implementation; ➢ Making decisions on LHMP process and content;
➢ Identifying mitigation actions for the Plan;
➢ Reviewing and providing comments on Plan drafts;
➢ Providing Draft documents of the LHMP for public review; ➢ Informing the public, local officials, and other interested stakeholders about the planning process and providing opportunity for them to comment on the draft Plan; and ➢ Coordinating the formal adoption of the Plan by the governing boards for each jurisdiction.

The participating jurisdictions seeking FEMA approval of this LHMP Update met all of these participation requirements. Multiple representatives from participating jurisdictions attended the HMPC meetings described in Table 3-3 and also brought together an internal planning team to help collect data, identify mitigation actions and implementation strategies, and review and provide data on Plan drafts. Appendix A provides additional information and documentation of the planning process.

Individuals representing various departments and other representatives from the participating jurisdictions to this Plumas County LHMP Update were actively involved throughout the Plan Update process as identified in Appendix A in the sign-in sheets for the meetings and as evident through the data, information and input provided by HMPC representatives for the development of this LHMP Update. This Chapter 3 and Appendix A provide additional information and documentation of the planning process and participants to this LHMP Update, including members of the HMPC.

3.2 The 10-Step Planning Process
Foster Morrison established the planning process for updating the Plumas County and City of Portola LHMPs using the DMA planning requirements and FEMA’s associated guidance. Specifically, the LHMP was developed pursuant to the requirements of DMA 2000, published at 44 CFR 201.6 and new FEMA LHMP guidance, LHMP Policy Guide FP 206-21-0002 effective April 11, 2025, as well as applicable California laws and mitigation requirements. This guidance is structured around a four-phase process:

1. Organize Resources;

2. Assess Risks;

3. Develop the Mitigation Plan; and

4. Implement the Plan and Monitor Progress.

Into this process, Foster Morrison integrated a more detailed 10-step planning process used for FEMA’s CRS and FMA programs. The modified 10-step process used for this Plan meets the requirements of six major programs: FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP); Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program; CRS program; Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program; Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) program; and new flood control projects authorized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

Table 3-1 shows how the modified 10-step process fits into FEMA’s four-phase process. The sections that follow describe each planning step in more detail.

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
As part of this LHMP Update, all sections of the 2020/2019 LHMPs were reviewed and updated to reflect new data, processes, and resulting mitigation strategies. Only the information and data still valid from the 2020/2019 LHMPs were carried forward as applicable into this 2026 LHMP Update.

3.2.1. Phase 1: Organize Resources
Planning Step 1: Organize the Planning Effort
With each participating jurisdiction’s commitment to participate in the DMA planning process, Foster Morrison worked with Plumas County’s Office of Emergency Services (County OES), as overall project lead, to establish the framework and organization for development of this LHMP. An initial meeting was held with County OES to discuss the organizational and process aspects of this 2026 LHMP Update.

An initial project kickoff meeting was held with participating jurisdictions on December 13, 2024, followed by the primary kickoff meeting with all participating jurisdictions and stakeholders on January 14, 2025.

Invitations to the kickoff meeting were extended to key county and city departments and special districts, as well as to other federal, state, and local stakeholders, including representatives from the public, which might have an interest in participating in the planning process. Representatives from the HMPC members to the 2020/2019 LHMPs and other identified stakeholders were used as a starting point for the invite list, with additional invitations extended as appropriate throughout the planning process. The list of invites is included in Appendix A.

Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee
The HMPC was established as a result of these initial meetings, as well as through interest generated through the initial public meeting and outreach conducted for this project as detailed later in this chapter.

The HMPC, comprised of county, city, special district, and other government and stakeholder representatives and the public, developed the Plan with leadership from County OES and facilitation by Foster Morrison. This list includes all HMPC members that were active participants in the Plan development process as evidenced through their attendance at one or more HMPC meetings, as well as those who provided key input into the Plan development process. The following individuals participated on the HMPC:

Utilizing a Common Planning Process
The County and all participating jurisdictions developed this LHMP Update utilizing a common Plan development process utilizing the “whole community” approach. This included establishing an HMPC that included key stakeholders for all jurisdictions ensuring that the five required categories of stakeholders, specific to each jurisdiction, were identified and included. Utilizing a common planning process involving all jurisdictional stakeholders promoted better stakeholder participation for all jurisdictions. This approach respected the time and availability of stakeholders, while maximizing participation of a common group of jurisdictional stakeholders by not requiring them to come to duplicate (or really 10 separate meetings) on the same Plan development element(s), which for this Plan would have resulted in 50 separate meetings to cover the 5 primary HMPC topics and meetings. It also spurred conversations between jurisdictions, as well as their public stakeholders, who were invited to come to these meetings. Additional considerations and benefits for utilizing a common planning process for the development of the LHMP Update include:
➢ The small rural nature of Plumas County, the City of Portola, and participating special districts was best suited for a common plan development process.
➢ Common group of stakeholders to all participating jurisdictions necessitated a common plan development process.

Page 122 ends

Plumas County 3-8
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
➢ Several of the jurisdictions have shared or overlapping boundaries and economic ties, often work under the same authorities, and have similar needs and capabilities. ➢ A common plan development process brings key stakeholders together in the same meetings instead of siloing them to specific jurisdictional meetings. This adds value by getting different groups discussing key issues collectively with different experiences and perspectives to bring to the table. ➢ Improves stakeholder communication and coordination by increasing stakeholder attendance in support of all jurisdictions and not diluting their participation by requiring attendance at multiple, duplicate meetings that they won’t be able to attend.
➢ Key public stakeholders invited to be part of the HMPC were better able to attend a limited set of meetings.
➢ All participating jurisdictions face similar threats and hazards which drive the resulting mitigation strategy that benefits the Plumas County Planning Area as a whole by promoting a comprehensive and regional approach to mitigation.

Utilizing this common planning process resulted in multiple entities being engaged and in the room at the same time. All of this is shown in detail throughout this chapter and in Appendix A.

Meetings
The planning process officially began with a project planning call with Plumas County OES on December 10, 2024, with an initial project kickoff meeting of participating jurisdictions on December 13, 2024. The primary HMPC kickoff meeting for all participating jurisdictions and project stakeholders was held on January 14, 2025, followed by a public kickoff meeting held the same day at 5:30 pm. The meetings covered the scope of work and an introduction to the DMA requirements. During the HMPC meetings, participants were provided with data collection worksheets to facilitate the collection of information necessary to support development of the Plan. Using FEMA guidance, these worksheets were designed to capture information on past hazard events, identify hazards of concern to each of the participating jurisdictions, identify values at risk to identified hazards, inventory existing capabilities, record possible mitigation actions, and to capture information on the status of mitigation action items from the 2020/2019 LHMPs. A copy of the worksheets for this project are included in Appendix A. Each participating jurisdiction seeking FEMA approval of this LHMP Update completed and returned the worksheets to Foster Morrison for incorporation into this 2026 LHMP Update.

During the planning process, the HMPC communicated through virtual Team and Zoom meetings, email, telephone conversations, Dropbox websites, and through a County developed webpage dedicated to the Plan development process. This later website was developed to provide information to the HMPC, the public and all other stakeholders on the LHMP process. Draft documents were also posted on these websites so that the HMPC members, stakeholders, and the public could easily access and review them.

The Plumas County LHMP website (as shown on Figure 3-1) can be accessed online at:

Planning Step 2: Involve the Public
Public stakeholders for all participating jurisdictions are generally defined as any stakeholder not attached to local government in the Plumas County Planning Area. Up-front coordination discussions with Plumas County established the initial plan for public involvement. Public involvement activities for this LHMP Update included press releases, social media communications, stakeholder and public meetings, development of an LHMP webpage and associated website postings, and the collection of public and stakeholder comments on the draft Plan through a variety of mechanisms. This included other public outreach activities as further described below and targeted outreach to different groups of people and other agencies throughout the Plan development process. At the internal kickoff meeting, the HMPC discussed additional strategies for public involvement and agreed to an approach using established public information mechanisms and resources within the County.

Plumas County 3-14
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
The purpose of the public outreach was to inform the public and other stakeholders of the Plumas County LHMP Update project, how they could get involved, and how to provide comments on the draft LHMP prior to submittal to Cal OES/FEMA. The outreach also invited the public stakeholders to the HMPC meetings for the project. Information on these outreach efforts can be seen in Appendix A to this LHMP.

Public Meetings
Three public meetings were planned for this LHMP Update project, during key phases of the LHMP development process. Public outreach efforts for these public meetings are described above for the first three public meetings. The three public meetings include:

Public Meeting #1: LHMP Kickoff
Public outreach for this LHMP Update began at the beginning of the Plan development process with the early public outreach activities to inform the public of the purpose of the LHMP and the hazard mitigation planning process for Plumas County and all participating jurisdictions. A press release was also issued at the beginning of the project to invite the public to attend either the public meeting or HMPC meetings.

Public Meeting #2: Hazard Risk Assessment
A second public meeting was held to provide an overview of the hazard risk assessment portion of the LHMP Update. This meeting was held in Plumas County the evening of the HMPC risk assessment meeting. This meeting was advertised through the Plumas County website and through other public outreach efforts mechanisms as previously described. Figure 3-3 captures the Risk Assessment Meeting Flyer/Poster for the May 8, 2025, meetings.

Public Meeting #3: On the Draft LHMP
The first draft of the LHMP Update was provided to the HMPC in October 2025, with a public review draft provided in November 2025. A public meeting was held on the evening of December 10, 2025, to present the draft LHMP and to collect public comments on the public review draft prior to finalization and submittal to Cal OES/FEMA. The public meeting was advertised in a variety of ways to maximize outreach efforts to both targeted groups and to the public at large and included an article in a local newspaper inviting the public to attend either the formal public meetings or the HMPC meeting at their convenience. The

advertisement in the local newspaper included information on the date, location, and time of the meeting; where the draft Plan could be accessed in the community; and how to provide comments on the draft LHMP Update. In addition to a copy of the public review draft being placed on the Plumas County LHMP website in advance of these meetings, a hard copy of the draft Plan was made available in the Plumas County Office of Emergency Services, in Quincy.. Details and documentation to support the final public meeting, including meeting outreach, can be found above and in Appendix A.

In addition to the advertisement for public participation, notices of meetings were sent directly to all persons on the HMPC contact list and also to other agency and key stakeholders (including the public) with an interest in the Plumas County Planning Area. The majority of these people reside in the Plumas County Planning Area or in surrounding communities. Because this is a multi-jurisdictional planning effort, all public outreach activities for this LHMP Update were conducted in collaboration with and on behalf of the Plumas County and all participating jurisdictions to this 2026 LHMP Update.

Public Comments
Public and private stakeholders were invited to provide comments and input throughout the LHMP Update process as part of the extensive public outreach efforts conducted for this project. Stakeholder and public comments and input were collected, consolidated, and organized to coincide with the three primary public meetings as described above, and prior to LHMP submittal to Cal OES and FEMA. These can be seen in Appendix A in Section A.9.4. Primary mechanisms for public input included social media comments, email comments, questions asked at public meetings, and input received as part of the public outreach survey conducted for the project.

Questions raised at public meetings, as well as input received from social media and email comments, included a variety of input. Comments included questions on the LHMP purpose and process; input on meeting locations and outreach communications; hazards to be considered (ranging from potholes, to highway lane striping, to issues related to dead, dying and falling trees); and the difficulty and costs associated with effectively mitigating hazards in advance of future disasters. Relevant comments were considered and informed the LHMP Update as appropriate, including Plan sections that address the risk assessment and mitigation goals and strategies. For example, the issue of dead and falling trees is discussed extensively in the hazard risk assessment in the drought, severe weather, and wildfire hazards and led to the inclusion of several mitigation actions to address this concern.

Comments and input received from the survey are discussed below in the survey section and are included in full in Appendix A in Sections A.11 and A.11.2. All press releases, newspaper advertisements and articles, website postings, public outreach efforts, and public comments are on file with County OES and are included in Appendix A. The draft Plan is currently available online on the Plumas County website at:
https://www.plumascounty.us/2218/Documents.

Public Outreach Survey
An integral element in hazard mitigation planning is broad public participation. Information provided by residents fosters a better understanding of local hazard concerns and can spawn innovative ideas to reduce impacts of future hazard events. A survey was developed to gather information from the public on relevant topics, such as hazard identification, alert systems used, insurance, possible mitigation strategies,

Page 133 ends

Plumas County 3-19
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
information sources, and underserved populations. The survey was also used to inform stakeholders about future outreach activities and methods.

The survey was hosted on Survey Monkey, and was accessible between April 15, 2025, and December 31, 2025 via the Plumas County LHMP project website. The survey included a combination of multiple choice, ranked, and open-ended questions. Survey participation was promoted through public and HMPC meetings and other project public outreach efforts. Specifically, survey respondents were sought through:
➢ Facebook posts
➢ HMPC meetings
➢ Other community meetings where the plan update was presented to various audiences ➢ In press releases, flyers, posters, and other outreach materials ➢ In news media, newsletters, and organization emails of stakeholders Survey results were collated, analyzed, and integrated into the LHMP update. Where appropriate, survey responses that identified specific regional issues are discussed in the survey analysis. Results were downloaded from Survey Monkey and summarized below. Complete summary results are included in Appendix A. 170 individuals answered the survey. A summary of key survey findings include:
➢ Respondents: Of the 170 survey respondents, nearly all are full-time or part-time residents of Plumas County, with only 3 answering from a non-resident perspective. ➢ Hazards of Concern: Respondents ranked those natural hazards considered “Extremely Concerning” in the following order:
✓ Wildfire (155 responses)
✓ Climate Change (64 responses)

✓ Hazardous Materials Transportation Release (44 responses) ✓ Extreme Temperatures (42 responses)
✓ Landslide, Mudslide, Debris Flow (39 responses)
✓ Agricultural Hazards including Severe Weather, Pests and Weeds (38 responses) ✓ Flood (25 responses)
✓ Heavy Rains and Tornadoes (21 responses)
✓ Dam Failure (8 responses)
✓ Earthquake (7 responses)
✓ Volcano (4 responses)
➢ Hazards resulting in Impacts: Respondents impacted by natural hazards were ranked in the following order:
✓ Wildfire (132 responses)
✓ Heavy Rains and Storms (72 responses)
✓ Climate Change (51 responses)
✓ Drought and Water Shortage (39 responses)
✓ Landslide, Mudslide, Debris Flow (37 responses)
✓ Agricultural Hazards including Severe Weather, Pests and Weeds (35 responses) ✓ Extreme Temperatures (33 responses)
✓ High Winds and Tornadoes (29 responses)

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
✓ Flood (25 responses)
✓ Earthquake (15 responses)
✓ Hazardous Materials Transportation Release (4 responses) ✓ Dam Failure (2 responses)
✓ Volcano (0 responses)
➢ Flood Questions:
✓ Seventy five percent (127) of respondents said their home or business is not located within a floodplain, with 8 answering yes, and 35 (about 20 percent) answering unknown. ✓ Among respondents, only 18 carry flood insurance, with 137 respondents (82 percent) indicating they do not and 13 respondents (8 percent) saying they don’t know. ✓ Only 4 respondents (2 percent) responded that they have previously filed an insurance claim after their home or business was damaged by flooding.
➢ Wildfire Questions:
✓ Nearly 84 percent of respondents (142) responded that their home or business is located with an area of high or very high wildfire risk, with 5 respondents answering no and 23 respondents answering unknown.
✓ 138 respondents answered that they have fire insurance from the California FAIR plan (20 percent) or have policies from other companies (61 percent). Only 8 respondents did not know whether they have fire insurance. Over 14 percent (24 respondents) do not have fire insurance. ✓ 12 (7 percent) of the respondents answered yes that they have filed an insurance claim after wildfire damage, while 156 (93 percent) answered no.
➢ Communication and Information Sources:
✓ Respondents were asked whether local government is doing enough to inform the public about the dangers of hazards affecting Plumas County, and only 40 percent (68 respondents) answered yes, with 32 percent answering no (33 respondents) or not sure (68 respondents). ✓ Respondents had the ability to provide free form answers to the question, “What can your local government do to improve your knowledge of the risks associated with these hazards?”, and about half of the respondents provided suggestions as summarized in the table below. These suggestions were roughly categorized into one of 5 categories, including online communications (11), In-person or traditional communications (16), emergency notifications (2), planning actions (26) and other (36). This distribution reflects a wide range of opinions and suggestions for local government. ✓ Respondents were asked about alert systems relied on the most by respondents during a disaster, providing the option to choose more than one of five options plus an open ended “other” option.

The Plumas County Sheriff’s Office Genasys and Reverse 911/WEA alert systems garnered the highest proportion of responses with a total of 182, followed by the private non-profit alert application Watch Duty (123 responses), social media (86 responses), and friends and family (83 responses). 15 respondents provided other suggestions, which included ham radio, local fire department, various personal connections, and several other information websites. ✓ Respondents were asked to choose which information methods are the most effective ways to receive information on disaster preparedness. The most popular options are email (97), social media (89), community websites (81), and public meetings and workshops (71). ➢ Level of Preparedness:
✓ Respondents were asked, “How prepared to you feel for the possible impacts of hazard events?” A large majority of respondents feel extremely prepared (11 percent, 19 respondents), mostly

Page 135 ends

Plumas County 3-21
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
prepared (56 percent, 94 respondents), or somewhat prepared (31 percent, 52 respondents). Only three people feel unprepared.
➢ Mitigation Actions:
✓ Respondents were asked to suggest actions that local governments in Plumas County could take to reduce loss or mitigate the impacts of hazards and help them become better prepared. The 114 responses were placed into one of the following categories by number of responses: Wildfire (40), Public communications (28), Home hardening, green waste, etc. (15), Evacuations, alerts, etc. (12), Storm, flood, and drainage (6), Hazardous trees (3), Insurance (3), Hazmat (3), and Infrastructure (3).

As part of the survey efforts, an analysis of the responses was conducted and information consolidated and considered in the Plan development process. Overall, the results of the survey supported the risk assessment and other information included in the LHMP Update, including survey input on hazards of concern and how respondents have been previously impacted by identified hazards. For example, the top 4 hazards identified by respondents were: wildfire, heavy rains and storms, climate change, and drought and water shortage – all identified as priority hazards in the updated LHMP. Other survey questions were designed to capture information on hazard communications and information sources, as well as on community preparedness. These later questions were designed to obtain information to assist the County with their overall emergency management program, but did also provide support for the inclusion of enhanced Public Education and Outreach efforts as key mitigation actions included in this Plan Update by the County and several participating jurisdictions. (See County Action # 1, Portola Action #1, Chester PUD Action #3, Feather River RCD Action #2, Indian Valley CSD Action #1, and Plumas County FSC Action #2).

The full survey and survey analysis can be viewed in its entirety in Appendix A.11.

Planning Step 3: Coordinate with Other Departments and Agencies Early in the planning process, the HMPC determined that data collection, mitigation strategy development, and LHMP review and approval would be greatly enhanced by inviting other local, state and federal agencies and organizations to participate in the Plan development process. Based on their involvement in hazard mitigation planning, their landowner status in the Plumas County Planning Area, and/or their interest as a neighboring or involved jurisdiction, representatives from the following agencies were invited to participate on the HMPC:
➢ Almanor Recreation and Park District
➢ Almanor West Mutual Water Company
➢ American Valley CSD

Several opportunities were provided for the groups listed above to participate in the planning process. At the beginning of the planning process, invitations were extended to many of these groups to actively participate on the HMPC. Specific participants from these groups are detailed in Appendix A. Others assisted in the process by providing data directly as requested in the Data Worksheets or through data contained on their websites or as maintained by their offices. Further as part of the public outreach process, all groups were invited to attend the public and HMPC meetings and to review and comment on the draft LHMP prior to submittal to CAL OES and FEMA.

Other Community Planning Efforts and Hazard Mitigation Activities Coordination with other community planning efforts is also paramount to the success of this LHMP Update.

Hazard mitigation planning involves identifying existing policies, tools, and actions that will reduce a community’s risk and vulnerability to hazards. Plumas County and the participating jurisdictions to this Plan use a variety of comprehensive planning mechanisms, such as general and master plans and ordinances, to guide growth and development. Integrating existing planning efforts and mitigation policies and action strategies into this LHMP Update establishes a credible and comprehensive Plan that ties into and supports other community programs. The development of this LHMP Update incorporated information from the following existing plans, studies, reports, and initiatives as well as other relevant data from neighboring communities and other jurisdictions. This gives a general overall list of plans, studies, and reports. More can be found in Appendix B to this Plan Update.

These and other documents were reviewed and considered, as appropriate, during the collection of data to support Planning Steps 4 and 5, which include the hazard identification, vulnerability assessment, and capability assessment. Data from these plans and documents were incorporated into the hazard risk assessment sections of the LHMP. Where data and information from the existing studies and reports is used in this LHMP Update, the source document is referenced throughout this Plan. The information was also used to identify potential hazard mitigation strategies for inclusion in this LHMP Update and in assessing the capabilities of the participating jurisdictions in implementing the resulting mitigation strategy.

Coordination with Underserved Communities and Socially Vulnerable Populations As detailed in FEMA’s new 2025 LHMP guidance, the LHMP development process should utilize the Whole Community approach to hazard mitigation planning. New 2025 FEMA guidance defines planning for the “Whole Community” as a focus on enabling the participation in national preparedness activities of a wider range of players from the private and nonprofit sectors, including nongovernmental organizations and the general public, in conjunction with the participation of all levels of government in order to foster better coordination and working relationships.

Plumas County 3-27
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
January 2026
In consideration of these new FEMA requirements as well as applicable California state laws and LHMP requirements, the plan development process focused on key sectors of public and private entities that would enhance hazard mitigation planning for Plumas County. Engagement and coordination with a variety of community-based organizations that work directly with or provide support to underserved communities and socially vulnerable populations was a critical component to Plumas County in addressing equity in mitigation planning and implementation.

For this LHMP project, significant efforts were made to identify and engage appropriate community members and groups to support the Plan development process. In Plumas County, vulnerable populations groups primarily include seniors, children and students, large households, low income, homeless populations, people with disabilities, those with lack of or limited mobility, and those with limited access to public transportation services in the more rural areas for evacuations and other hazard response needs.

There is also a seasonal farmworker and local student population which can create challenges during hazard events. The concept of Plumas County being vulnerable due to its location and status as a small, rural, and remote community was determined to be a major descriptor of the County’s underserved and vulnerable populations.

Given the small, rural nature of Plumas County, much of the support for these groups fell to applicable local government agencies, primarily the County. Thus, reaching out to the County departments providing these types of services was the initial step to meeting this element. These efforts were augmented by extensive coordination with the recently formed Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD) group in Plumas County as well as coordination with numerous other service oriented agencies supporting vulnerable populations in Plumas County. As part of the planning process, efforts made to identify and engage these groups in the Plumas County 2026 LHMP Update project included the following:
