The Kensington Police Protection & Community Services District is seeking public comment on the District’s draft Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.  The District will use the Plan as a guide to become more resilient to the impacts of natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.  In addition, the Plan must be approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to be eligible for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program grants. 

Every five years participating local jurisdictions undertake a process of updating their previous plans, which were last completed in 2018. Contra Costa County is the lead agency in the updating process.  The District’s draft Plan along with those of the County and participating jurisdictions can be found at:  https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/6415/Local-Hazard-Mitigation-Plan.  Comments on the District’s draft Plan can be made from the County website or by sending an email to the District’s Interim General Manager, David Aranda at daranda@kppcsd.org.  The draft Plan will also be discussed at the May 9, 2024, Board of Director’s meeting.  Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting and participate in the discussion.
