Public Comment period for the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is open until 07/03/22

The District is pleased to announce the opportunity for public comment on the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Update. The public comment period will be open June 3, 2022 through July 3, 2022.

Please email all comments to Norman Wong at [email protected] with subject heading “LHMP public comment” by the deadline.  Comments received after the deadline will not be accepted.

This LHMP identifies the hazards that potentially impact BART, assesses the vulnerability to the hazards and identifies specific actions that can be taken to reduce the risk from the hazards. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) outlines a process which cities, counties, and special districts can follow to develop a LHMP.

Please check out the LHMP homepage for more details.
