This Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan for Glenn County, the City of Orland, and the City of Willows provides a comprehensive blueprint for mitigating the impact of natural hazards. Its primary goals are to reduce hazard-related loss of life, injuries, and property damage; promote collaboration among various partners; and improve the capabilities of the jurisdictions to implement mitigation activities. The plan aims to enhance community resiliency, safeguard facilities, minimize disruptions, and ensure eligibility for federal mitigation funding.
