LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services is seeking public comment on the hazard mitigation plan update final working draft.

Lake County OES is seeking to receive the comments on or before May 26 at 5 p.m.

Minor edits may be made, and some data is being finalized before incorporation of public comment and final submission to Cal OES in June.

The plan update began in September 2022, when the Board of Supervisors established a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee, chaired by Lake County OES and comprised of county and local stakeholders including one member from each supervisorial district.

Information from each meeting and session is available online at www.lakesheriff.com/about/oes/hmp.

Lake County OES facilitated the plan update and engaged county departments and stakeholders (referred to as the working group) to complete each section of the plan update.

This is the second draft release to request public comment.

Public participation is encouraged.
