Help San Mateo County Identify Climate Solutions
The County of San Mateo in partnership with Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, and San Bruno are working on the Peninsula Resilience Planning (PREP) project to
study how natural hazards and climate change will harm our communities
and to plan for a safer and more resilient future. The PREP project
will result in updated General Plan Safety Elements.
Join us online next week to learn about the PREP project and share
thoughts and experiences with climate change and natural hazards, such
as flooding, wildfire, earthquakes, landslides, extreme heat, and other
severe weather. |

What is Peninsula Resilience Planning?
|
|
|
This
project will plan for the harm posed by climate change and natural
hazards by updating each participating jurisdiction’s safety element. A
safety element is a required section of a city or county’s general plan
that identifies potential natural and human-caused hazards that could
affect residents, businesses, and services in the community.

How can you be involved?
This
is the first of several community engagement events to inform, guide,
and comment on the PREP project. Other ways to learn more and share
your input include:
-
PREP Project website:
learn more about the project, ask a question, provide a comment, and
sign up for our mailing list to hear about future opportunities to get
involved.
-
Online survey: Do you have 5 minutes to share your experience with natural hazards in your community? Survey is confidential.
-
Interactive Map:
view the natural hazard, community asset, and population GIS data that
will be used for climate change vulnerability assessments and the
safety elements updates.
Your input is vital to this planning process! Please forward this invite to anyone else you know who might be interested.
Best,
