Sheriff’s Emergency Services to Host Hazard Mitigation Public Workshop

Ventura County Sheriff’s Emergency Services will host a public workshop as part of the 2027 Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan update.

Residents, businesses, and community organizations are invited to help shape the County’s long-term strategy for reducing disaster risk through attendance at a public workshop on June 17, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in the Camarillo Public Library Community Room, located at 4101 Las Posas Rd, Camarillo, CA 93010.

The Hazard Mitigation Plan, updated every five years, includes participation from Ventura County, its ten incorporated cities, partner agencies, and special districts working together to identify hazards, assess vulnerabilities, and prioritize projects that strengthen community resilience. The plan evaluates hazards such as wildfire, flood, earthquake, tsunami, drought, and extreme weather, and establishes strategies to help protect lives, property, infrastructure, and the environment. Maintaining an approved plan also ensures continued eligibility for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance funding.

“Community input is a critical part of this planning process,” said Emergency Services Director Patrick Maynard. “Residents know their neighborhoods best, and their perspectives help us identify practical solutions that reduce disaster risk and strengthen resilience throughout Ventura County.”

Individuals requiring language translation or other accommodation may indicate those needs by emailing OES.OES@venturacounty.gov, or by calling (805) 437-4204. Requests for accommodation should be submitted by noon on June 10, 2026, to allow time for coordination.
