Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

2022 City of Homer Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) assesses risks posed by natural disasters and lists strategies to protect life and property in Homer from future hazards. Hazards addressed in this plan include: climate change, earthquake, erosion, flood, landslide, severe weather, tsunami, volcano, and wildfire.

The LHMP was finalized and approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in June of 2022. Following FEMA approval, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-051 adopting the LHMP. The community is now eligible to apply for and receive certain types of nonemergency disaster assistance, including funding for mitigation projects identified in the plan.
