[ARCHIVED] Help Us Plan for a Safer Colton

Help Us Plan for a Safer Colton

Share Your Input on the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan

The City of Colton is committed to protecting our residents, businesses, and neighborhoods from the impacts of natural and human-caused hazards. As part of this commitment, we are updating our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)—a strategic document that identifies risks such as wildfires, earthquakes, floods, extreme heat, and other potential emergencies.

This plan outlines actions the City can take to reduce long-term risks and improve our resilience before disaster strikes. A strong and well-informed LHMP not only enhances public safety but also ensures that Colton remains eligible for important federal and state disaster relief funding.

Why Your Voice Matters

A successful plan reflects the values, experiences, and concerns of the people it’s designed to protect. That’s why we’re asking you—our residents, business owners, and community stakeholders—to share your perspective.

By completing a brief survey, you can help us better understand:

  • What hazards concern you the most
  • How prepared you feel
  • What improvements you’d like to see
  • How we can best communicate and support you during emergencies

Your feedback will directly inform the development of the updated plan and help prioritize projects that make Colton a safer, stronger community.
