2023 City of Ontario Hazard Mitigation Plan Survey

The City of Ontario is preparing an update to the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan or LHMP. Like all other communities, Ontario could potentially face widespread devastation in the event of a natural disaster. While no community can completely protect itself against all potential hazardous situations, this plan will help identify those situations, assess our current provisions, and outline a strategy to lessen the vulnerability and severity of future disasters.

Your response to this short SURVEY helps with the preparation of this plan by providing feedback on what hazards concern you the most. If you’d like to learn more about this process, visit our website OntarioCA.gov/LHMP. Deadline is February 15, 2023.
