The project is an update to the Nevada County Safety Element, Chapter 10 of the General Plan, which was previously adopted by

addresses potential and existing hazards in the County, which are outlined in the following categories: Emergency Preparedness,
Geological Hazards/Seismic Activity, Flood Hazards, Airport and Military Airspace Hazards, Hazardous Material and Mining
Hazards, Public Safety Services and Facilities, Fire Hazards and Protection, and Severe Weather Hazards. Among other updates,
two additional categories for Climate Change Resiliency and Mitigation, and Environmental Justice have been added to the Safety
Element.
