Plan Ahead! 

Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)

Hazard mitigation means reducing the long-term risks from disasters like earthquakes, wildfires, windstorms, and power outages. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) identifies these risks and outlines practical strategies the City can take to reduce their impacts and protect people, property, and essential services.

Fontana’s LHMP is reviewed and updated every five years to reflect current data, changing conditions, and community priorities. This process helps the City plan smarter, invest in protective measures, and strengthen partnerships across the region.

LHMP Update

The City of Fontana is currently updating its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.

The community survey is now closed.

Thank you to everyone who shared their input on local hazards and community priorities. Your feedback will help guide the City’s mitigation strategies and strengthen our overall resilience.

If you have additional comments or questions, please email: ready@fontanaca.gov

What Is the LHMP Used For?

• Identify disaster risks and vulnerabilities in Fontana
• Guide local policies, projects, and investments that reduce risk
• Improve coordination with regional partners
• Strengthen public safety and community resilience
• Support access to funding for hazard mitigation projects
