LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Lake County’s draft climate adaptation plan, or CAP, is available for public review through Dec. 19.

Review the public review draft of the plan and take the survey on the plan’s website.

This comprehensive plan — an effort involving the cities of Clearlake and Lakeport, and the county of Lake — relies on existing adaptation successes to provide a framework to reduce climate-related risks and build community resilience countywide.

The draft CAP Includes:

• An assessment of current policies and programs supporting climate resilience, hazard mitigation, risk reduction, and climate adaptation.
• Identified gaps in existing resources.
• Goals, strategies, and actions to address the risks and impacts from wildfire, extreme heat, drought, flooding, and other climate-related hazards.

What happens next? Local agencies need the feedback from the community on the CAP.

After reviewing the plan, community members are asked to take a brief community survey no later than Dec. 19.

The survey asks for feedback on:

• Identified gaps in existing resources and programs;
• Proposed goals, strategies and actions;
•Additional comments or concerns.

Your input will help ensure the plan reflects the needs, values and priorities of the community. 

Whether you're a long-time resident, new to the area, work here or are visiting, the cities and county want to hear from you.
