East Valley Water District (EVWD) has drafted its 2025 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). The LHMP identifies goals, objectives, and mitigation strategies for reducing the impact of hazards such as earthquakes, floods, cyberattacks, and severe storms upon EVWD’s wastewater and solid waste infrastructure.
We invite you to review the LHMP and provide your comments. We want your feedback to help us in this planning process and to ensure the hazard mitigation actions identified are appropriate for both EVWD and your community.

We ask that you submit your comments by January 9, 2026. You may submit comments by email to Dylan Kilby of Navigating Preparedness Associates: [email protected]. Please state page numbers, sections, or headers to help the review team ensure your comments are appropriately addressed.
What is an LHMP?
The LHMP is a document that outlines EVWD’s long-term strategy to reduce risk to human life and infrastructure from disasters. This is EVWD’s first time creating an LHMP. It will allow us to be eligible for funds that strengthen our community’s disaster preparedness.
The LHMP contains information on EVWD’s services, its values-at-risk, selected natural and human-caused hazards, and actions that EVWD may take to mitigate those hazards. Within EVWD, these include (but are not limited to) droughts, earthquakes, hazardous materials releases, severe storms, and power failures. LHMPs must be updated every five years.
The State of California and Federal government require that the public is given opportunities to be involved in the plan’s development process. Input from community members can strengthen the content and outcomes of the LHMP.
