Welcome to the Website for the Yuba County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan

The County of Yuba has received a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to create a county-wide multi-hazard mitigation plan.

Yuba County has a history of devastating disasters. Each one of these disasters has cost the taxpayers millions of dollars in recovery costs. The Yuba County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is designed to mitigate against the hazards that affect Yuba County, protecting the lives and property of all of its citizens, as well as reducing the costs to the County.

The plan incorporates all jurisdictions within the County, helping to ensure that all citizens will be protected when disaster strikes. The plan process is designed to provide a forum for collaboration, establishing the groundwork for future interagency cooperation in pre-disaster planning and emergency response. The scope of work submitted for plan development is one of the most ambitious in the nation and resulted in the largest planning grant awarded during the 2003-2004 fiscal year.

The purpose of this website is to inform and update the public regarding the progress being made towards development of the Yuba County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan and to provide a resource to those jurisdictions participating in the planning process.

You can do your part to aid in the risk assessment process by telling us your concerns. Simply fill out this questionnaire and tell us about the hazards that concern you and your area.
