Shoreline’s current Hazard Mitigation Plan was adopted by the City Council in 2004 and is in the process of being updated to meet federal requirements which asks for a new plan every five years. The plan provides long-term strategies for reducing the impacts of disasters in Shoreline such as earthquakes, floods, fires and landslides. Please come to one of the two public meetings posted below to hear an overview of the identified hazards and risks in Shoreline and to give your feedback on the strategies being proposed to mitigate them.
Disasters take a heavy toll on communities by destroying life, property, critical infrastructure and natural systems. They can also disrupt local economies, sometimes permanently. The Hazard Mitigation Plan represents Shoreline’s commitment to creating and maintaining a resilient community if disaster strikes.
Shoreline residents are asked to review the current plan and share ideas and recommendations on how to improve or update it. After gathering information from community partners and residents, an updated plan will be drafted and made available for review prior to presentation to FEMA and approval by the City Council.
Please review and give feedback on the 2009 Multijurisdictional Hazards Mitigation Plan Update.
