Amador County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

The purpose of hazard mitigation and this plan is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and their effects in Amador County, California. This plan has been prepared to meet the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requirements in order to maintain Amador’s eligibility for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs (HMGP). More importantly, this plan and planning process lays out the strategy that will enable Amador County to become less vulnerable to future disaster losses.

The multi-jurisdictional plan includes the County, and the incorporated communities of Amador City, Ione, Jackson, Plymouth, and Sutter Creek. This plan also covers two participating districts: Amador Water Agency and the Jackson Valley Irrigation District.
