Major natural disasters will strike the Bay Area again during the next several years. Lives will be lost, property damage will occur, and our economy will suffer. The following resource sections are provided to help your local government mitigate those losses. This web page will be updated as additional information is obtained and will serve as background information being developed for the Bay Area Multi-Hazard Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (fulfilling the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000). |

ABAG, the Association of Bay Area Governments, is the regional planning and services agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. The federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires that cities, counties, and special districts have a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to be eligible to receive FEMA hazard mitigation funds. To assist local governments in meeting this requirement, ABAG received a grant from FEMA through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services to prepare a multi-jurisdictional plan that fulfills the requirements of DMA 2000. Cities and counties can adopt and use all or part of this multi-jurisdictional plan in lieu of preparing all or part of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan themselves. They need to have participated in the development of the multi-jurisdictional plan to adopt it, however. The Plan and ABAG Annex were adopted by ABAG's Executive Board on March 17, 2005.
