Department of Emergency Management announces public meetings seeking input on Hazard Mitigation Plan

En español »

Sonoma County’s Department of Emergency Management will host its second in a series of public meetings to seek public input on updating the County’s 2021 Hazard Mitigation Plan. 

The in-person meeting will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 5 p.m. at Herzog Hall, 175 Fairgrounds Drive, Petaluma. Live in-person Spanish interpretation will be made available.

This meeting will provide an overview of the 2026 Sonoma County Hazard Mitigation planning process and describe how the public can provide input on natural hazard problems and potential solutions. The mitigation projects identified in the plan will reduce vulnerability and increase community resilience in times of natural disasters. 

Additionally, the County is asking members of the public to contribute to the planning process by taking a survey. This survey is designed to gather information from around Sonoma County to better coordinate activities and reduce the risk of injury or property damage. The questions are for information-gathering only, and responses will be shared with municipal, state, federal, and county entities for planning purposes only.
