2024 Contra Costa County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
As part of our ongoing efforts to
make the County more disaster-ready and resilient, the Contra
Costa County Office of Emergency Services (OES) prepared the 2024
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). This plan serves as a guide

natural, human-caused, and technological hazards.
In the 2024 update, Contra Costa County worked with over 40 participating agencies, including Central San.
