SAFETY <br />The purpose of the Safety Element is to eliminate and minimize <br />risks associated with natural and human -generated hazards such <br />as floods, earthquakes, and hazardous materials. By assessing <br />and preparing for levels of risk, the city can endure the range of <br />safety hazards and adapt to changes over time. <br />This element works in tandem with other elements of the General <br />Plan, such as the Public Services Element, which has goals and <br />policies related to police, fire, and health services; emergency <br />planning; and resiliency. <br />The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the City of Santa <br />Ana planning area was developed in accordance with the Disaster <br />Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed FEMA's 2011 <br />Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP incorporates a <br />process where hazards are identified and profiled, the people and <br />facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation actions are developed <br />to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The implementation of these <br />mitigation actions, which include both short and long-term <br />strategies, involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, <br />and other activities. <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN Isio,; <br />01 <br />
