K白尾海雕县, along with 62 other participating jurisdictions, will develop an update to the 2012-14 Kern Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard 缓解 Plan to reduce losses resulting from natural disasters. Hazard mitigation is the use of sustained, long-term actions to reduce the loss of life, 人身伤害, and property damage that can result from a disaster. Benefits of mitigation planning include:
- Identifying actions for risk reduction through collaboration with stakeholders and the public,
- Focusing resources on the greatest risks and vulnerabilities,
- Building partnerships by involving citizens, organizations, and businesses,
- Increasing education and awareness of threats and hazards, as well as their risks,
- Communicating priorities to 状态 and Federal officials, and
- Aligning risk reduction with other community objectives.
规划 efforts could include capital projects and other pragmatic activities that can mitigate the impacts of hazards. The 2019-20 MJHMP Update will cover each of the major natural hazards that pose risks to County infrastructure and residents. Recognizing that successful mitigation planning efforts must be communicated and understood by the public, the County approach will include stakeholder participation and input with the use of cutting edge GIS technology to map and update the hazard information for each hazard profiled in the 2019-20 MJHMP.
