Piedmont Fire wants your suggestions for how Piedmont can reduce risk from wildfires, earthquakes, and other natural hazards

Help shape a plan for how Piedmont can mitigate risk from disasters by sharing your suggestions for steps you’d like to see the City take to reduce potential impacts from wildfires, earthquakes, or other natural hazards.

Your input will be used to inform the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, a FEMA-required document that studies the specific ways Piedmont could be impacted by natural hazards and creates a roadmap for actions we can take now that would prevent or eliminate some of those impacts, if a disaster happens.

Mitigation actions could include things like:

– Updating or adopting new policies, like strengthening building codes
– Infrastructure projects like retrofitting or rebuilding critical facilities
– Developing programs to help residents make their properties more resilient

Share your suggestions for steps you’d like to see the City take at http://piedmont.ca.gov/MitigationStrategy. You can submit as many ideas as you’d like and will be able to see suggestions that others have submitted.
