The Los Angeles County Public Works is updating the Comprehensive Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) for the County unincorporated areas.
The FMP is an overall strategy of programs, projects, and measures aimed at reducing the adverse impacts of flood hazards on the community. The FMP identifies and addresses the impacts caused by flood hazards and provides specific mitigation measures to help protect the properties and their occupants. The County adopted its most recent FMP in June 2021. The National Flood Insurance Program requires the County to update its FMP every five years.
Development of the FMP is guided through the efforts of the FMP Committee. The FMP Committee is comprised of representatives from local government, non-profit groups, town councils, and members of the general public. The FMP Committee meets about once per month.
Make sure to visit this website often as we’ll be posting updates on the FMP’s progress. You can also obtain agendas, minutes and handouts of the FMP Committee meetings from this website.
