The City of Culver City (City) and the Culver City Unified School District (CCUSD) prepared a five-year update to their Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) in 2024. The MJHMP was reviewed and approved by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

A Hazard Mitigation Plan presents a strategy for reducing the vulnerability of the City and CCUSD to the impacts of natural hazards such as wildfire, earthquakes, and drought and human-caused hazards (hazardous materials spill, active shooter, pandemic). The plan identifies the types of hazards that threaten our community, evaluates our vulnerability to those threats, and identifies specific projects, actions, and partnerships for the City and CCUSD to undertake to become more resilient to hazards in the future.
The Hazard Mitigation Plan is a framework that guides our community in making decisions and developing policies to reduce or eliminate risk to life and property. The plan identifies the types of hazards that threaten our community, evaluates our vulnerability to those threats, and outlines a strategy to reduce or eliminate the risk posed by those threats.
The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires that a community have an approved hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible to apply for and receive FEMA hazard mitigation funds. Receipt of these funds can be critical to implementation of identified hazard mitigation programs.
