The City of Temecula is adopting the 2022-2027 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex into its Public Safety Element of the General Plan to comply with Assembly Bill 2140, which mandates that local jurisdictions integrate hazard mitigation strategies into their planning frameworks. This action formalizes the annex as part of the city’s official land use and safety planning, ensuring alignment with state requirements for reducing risk from natural disasters and enhancing community resilience. The resolution establishes a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating hazards such as floods, wildfires, earthquakes, and other perils over the next five years. The implementation of this plan is overseen by the City of Temecula’s Community Development department, with Brandon Raidou, Assistant Director of Community Development, serving as the primary point of contact. The initiative is designed to strengthen coordination across jurisdictions within the county, promote consistent mitigation efforts, and support eligibility for federal grant funding under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs. By incorporating the LHMP Annex into the General Plan, the city commits to proactive risk reduction, ongoing public engagement, and periodic plan updates to ensure continued compliance and effectiveness in protecting lives and property.
