The City of Glendale’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) helps reduce disaster risk by identifying hazards, assessing vulnerabilities, and establishing long-term strategies to protect people, property, infrastructure, and essential services.

Hazard mitigation planning supports a safer, more resilient Glendale by addressing risks such as wildfire, earthquake, flooding, extreme heat, hazardous materials incidents, utility disruptions, and other emergency events. The LHMP is intended to guide future mitigation actions, strengthen preparedness, and support coordinated planning across City departments and community partners.

FEMA requires local hazard mitigation plans to be updated every five years to remain current and to support continued eligibility for certain mitigation funding opportunities. Glendale’s ongoing resilience planning is also supported by related emergency preparedness efforts, City emergency plans, and the adopted 2025 Safety Element.
