Hazard Mitigation Plan

City of Sierra Madre Hazard Mitigation Plan Update– Public Review Draft Now Available

The City of Sierra Madre has updated its Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) and submitted it to FEMA for final approval. The plan is designed to enhance community resilience and maintain eligibility for mitigation-related funding before and after major disasters. It is updated every five years to reassess risks, refine existing strategies, and develop new actions to reduce the impact of future disasters.

As part of the 2025 HMP update, the Planning Team identified six key hazards that pose risks to Sierra Madre: earthquakes, drought, flooding, power outages, wildfires, and windstorms. The plan includes an assessment of vulnerabilities and potential impacts associated with these hazards, as well as updated mitigation strategies to reduce future threats and protect critical infrastructure.

The Final Draft of the Hazard Mitigation Plan is now available for public review.
