Board adopts local hazard mitigation plan into general plan under AB 2140
Summary
The board voted to incorporate the county's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan into the general plan safety element per Assembly Bill 2140 and authorized the chair to sign the resolution.
Butte County officials asked the Board of Supervisors to adopt the county’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and incorporate it by reference into the general plan safety element as required under Assembly Bill 2140. The board voted to adopt the resolution and authorized the chair to sign.
Why it matters: Incorporation of the mitigation plan into the general plan is a procedural but important step that can affect eligibility for state and federal hazard‑mitigation funding and better aligns local planning with FEMA and California disaster policy.
Staff summary: The planning and emergency‑management staff said the FEMA review of the county’s mitigation plan concluded and staff are now seeking formal incorporation into the safety element. The mitigation plan itself remains available by link because of its length.
Board action: A board member moved to adopt the resolution and authorize the chair to sign; the motion received a second and passed by voice vote. No public opposition was recorded during the hearing.
Ending: Staff said adoption will facilitate state and FEMA coordination and help the county pursue mitigation funding and projects.
