The East Bay Regional Park District is seeking public comments and suggestions as it creates “a long-term guide to preparation for earthquakes, wildfires, floods, landslides, drought and other natural disasters within the 120,000-acre park district.”

The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan “will address ways to protect district assets such as the Tilden Carousel, visitor centers, drinking water systems, the Temescal dam, Tidewater Boating Center, shellmound sites and other structures.”

The plan is funded through a $100,000 Federal Emergency Management Agency grant.

A public workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 23 at the Trudeau Training Center, 11500 Skyline Blvd. in

Oakland.

The draft plan is scheduled to be submitted to FEMA in early 2017, with final approval and adoption by the park district board set for April 2017.
