Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

Fire Plane

Siskiyou County Office of Emergency Services and its partners are working on a plan to better handle future emergencies and disasters. This updated plan called the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), will help us deal with things like fires, floods, and other hazards that might come our way. To make sure this plan is as effective as possible, we need your input.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or feedback, please email us at LHMP@Readysiskiyou.gov.
