Emergency Preparedness

HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING

The Chemehuevi Indian Tribe Hazard Mitigation Plan is a comprehensive strategy designed to protect the tribal community, land, and resources from the risks of natural and human-made hazards. This plan, developed in collaboration with the Tribal Council, the Havasu Lake Emergency Planning Group, and the broader community, outlines proactive steps to mitigate potential disasters and enhance resilience.


Mitigation planning is essential for safeguarding lives, property, and cultural heritage. By identifying risks, assessing vulnerabilities, and implementing mitigation actions, the Tribe aims to reduce the impact of future disasters. The plan is periodically updated to reflect changes in development, advancements in emergency management, and emerging threats.


This webpage serves as a resource for understanding the mitigation plan, tracking updates, and learning about ways to get involved in the ongoing planning efforts. Whether you are a community member, emergency responder, or policymaker, this site will provide valuable insights into the Tribe’s commitment to hazard resilience.
