2026 Mono County and Town of Mammoth Lakes Local Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan

Mono County and the Town of Mammoth Lakes are preparing to develop a joint Local Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan for 2026, aimed at identifying natural hazards within the region and outlining a five-year strategy to reduce their impact. The plan must be approved by both the California Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to ensure continued eligibility for critical state and federal funding related to hazard mitigation and pre-disaster preparedness. The effort is driven by the need to proactively address risks such as earthquakes, floods, wildfires, and other environmental threats common to the area. Kelly Karl, Planning Analyst for Mono County, serves as the primary point of contact for the initiative, with communications directed through her provided email and phone number. The plan is scheduled for development and submission ahead of its 2026 implementation timeline, with work already underway as indicated by the posted forecast date of July 9, 2026.
