MULTIJURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

WHEREAS, the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires local governments to develop and submit hazard mitigation plans as a condition of receiving Hazard Mitigation Grant Program project funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) for pre- and post-disaster mitigation program funds; and WHEREAS, in June 2022, the Santa Clara County Emergency Operational Area Council initiated a hazard mitigation planning process that was guided by a coalition of 19 partner agencies, including the County of Santa Clara, 15 cities and towns, Santa Clara County Fire District, Valley Water, and Valley Transportation Authority; and WHEREAS, the hazard mitigation planning process was convened to address the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act and in recognition that the Bay Area is subject to various earthquake and weather-related hazards such as ground shaking, liquefaction, fault surface rupture, wildfires, floods, and landslides; and WHEREAS, the result of the hazard mitigation planning process is a two-volume Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan (the Plan); and WHEREAS, the Plan must be formally approved by FEMA and the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), and adopted by a local jurisdiction’s governing body prior to the City of Sunnyvale’s eligibility for specified grants.
