Hazard Mitigation Plan Project
In an effort to increase the disaster readiness and resiliency of the schools within our county, the Trinity County Office of Education (TCOE) is leading the development of a hazard mitigation plan. This document will include a risk assessment of hazards present to Trinity County schools and an action plan to reduce those risks.

The Trinity County Resource Conservation District (TCRCD) has been contracted with (via a public procurement process) to facilitate the plan development. This project is funded by a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

WHAT IS A HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN?  A hazard mitigation plan is a 5-year plan which focuses on hazard risk identification and mitigation planning. Public outreach and involvement are a required component in the planning process.
 

WHICH SCHOOLS ARE INVOLVED?
This plan will review risk to students, staff, and facilities at the following school districts:
    •    Burnt Ranch Elementary School District
    •    Coffee Creek Elementary School District
    •    Douglas City Elementary School District
    •    Junction City Elementary School District
    •    Lewiston Elementary School District
    •    Mountain Valley Unified School District
    •    Southern Trinity Joint Unified School District
    •    Trinity Alps Unified School District
    •    Trinity Center Elementary School District

 

WHERE ARE WE IN THE SCHEDULE?
The project has just begun and is in the initiation phase. That being said, work has already begun on the risk assessment, which is expected to conclude early 2025.

HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
We are looking for community input on the planning process! If you have comments or questions regarding this project, please reach out! Once there are specific public engagement opportunities available, we will share them on this webpage and TCOE social media.

At the September 2024 regular meeting of the Safe Schools Collaborative, TCOE and the Trinity County RCD kicked off the Hazard Mitigation Planning Project with a presentation to the group. We received great questions and information from the group to consider in the initial planning stages.
