20-3 <br /> <br /> <br />Mission Statement, Goals and Objectives <br /> <br />8. Advance community resilience through preparation, adoption, and implementation of state, regional, and <br />local hazard mitigation plans and projects. <br />9. Encourage life and property protection measures for all communities, with particular attention to socially <br />vulnerable communities that have less capacity to adapt or to strengthen structures and community <br />lifelines (critical facilities) located in hazard areas. <br />10. Actively promote effective coordination of regional and local hazard mitigation planning and action <br />among state agencies, cities, counties, special districts, tribal organizations, councils of <br />governments, community-led planning efforts, metropolitan planning organizations, and regional <br />transportation organizations to create resilient and sustainable communities. <br />11. Improve systems that provide warning and emergency communications, including evaluation of their <br />inclusiveness and accessibility. <br />12. Build the capacity of the County, the planning partners, and community-based organizations to ensure <br />effective and meaningful engagement throughout the process and equitable outcomes of hazard mitigation <br />action efforts. <br />13. Retrofit, purchase, and/or relocate structures in high hazard areas, and consider appropriate <br />redevelopment policies in areas known to be repetitively damaged that will maximize public benefits and <br />reduce negative impacts, particularly in socially vulnerable communities. <br />14. Where feasible, identify and implement strategies that use nature-based solutions.
