San Joaquin County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan In September 2022, the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services launched an effort to reassess risks posed by natural and human-caused disasters and identify ways to reduce those risks and began updating the previously Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)- approved 2018 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). The LHMP intends to provide strategies for the County and other local jurisdictions to identify and implement mitigation actions for reducing damages from various natural and technological disasters. The LHMP outlines a process for assessing and analyzing those hazards to which San Joaquin County is most vulnerable. The process can improve the County's resilience by performing a hazard risk assessment, using available tools to complete a capabilities assessment, and then identifying mitigation actions for these hazards. The LHMP analyzes the risk posed to people and property by earthquakes, landslides, floods, wildfires, drought, severe weather, and other hazards, such as climate change, and considers mitigation actions that the County could implement before such events. The goal is to reduce the risk to life and safety and the risk of property damage and service disruption caused by these natural hazards. The LHMP establishes prioritized mitigation goals and adopts a 5-year implementation timeline, which the County would seek to implement, subject to funding and resource limitations (San Joaquin County 2023). Alameda County East Area Plan The purpose of the ECAP is to present a clear statement of the County's intent concerning future development and resource conservation within East County.

The programs that follow the policies identify a set of specific actions the County will undertake to achieve the goals and policies of the plan.
