The Sonoma County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) Draft is now available for public review and comment through November 10, 2025, on the County of Sonoma website.
The MJHMP is a countywide effort involving 22 jurisdictions, including the City of Sonoma and the Sonoma Valley Fire District, both of which have annexes in the draft plan. The plan identifies local risks from natural and human-caused hazards and outlines strategies to reduce future disaster impacts.
Public input is an important part of the update process. Feedback from residents helps ensure the plan reflects local experiences and priorities while maintaining eligibility for state and federal hazard-mitigation funding.

The full draft plan and related materials are available on the County of Sonoma website from October 20 – November 10, 2025:
- Volume I (PDF): Overview and hazard analysis

Comments may be submitted by email to hazardmitigation@sonomacounty.gov or shared during a public meeting.
