whether it be severe thunderstorm, flood, severe winter weather, drought, heat wave, earthquake,

natural hazards as well as the importance of reducing human suffering, property damage,
interruption of public services and economic losses caused by those hazards; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and California Governors Office of
Emergency Services have developed a natural hazards mitigation program that assists communities
in their efforts to become Disaster-Resistant Communities that focus, not just on disaster response
and recovery, but also on preparedness and hazard mitigation, which enhances economic
sustainability, environmental stability and social well-being; and
WHEREAS, Butte County fully participated in the Federal Emergency Management Agency
prescribed mitigation-planning process to prepare this Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazard Pre-Disaster
Mitigation Plan.
