MyPlan 2.0 is a powerful new tool that empowers Californians to better understand natural hazard risks in their communities. Designed for both local government officials and the public, this interactive application provides easy access to key insights from the State Hazard Mitigation Plan's risk assessment and hazard data used in the assessment.

The tool highlights the populations, equity priority communities, state-owned and -leased properties, critical infrastructure, community lifelines, and buildable areas across the state that may be impacted by natural hazards, such as floods, wildfires, earthquakes, and landslides. With its user-friendly interactive map, detailed charts, and downloadable data by county, the MyPlan 2.0 makes it simple to visualize hazard areas and evaluate risks specific to each county.

Stay informed and take an active role in understanding and preparing for potential hazards in your area with MyPlan 2.0. Learn more about MyPlan 2.0.

Data Used to Complete the Risk Assessment

The risk assessment completed to support the 2023 State Hazard Mitigation Plan (SHMP) update used a variety of datasets that represent hazard areas, State-owned and -managed structures, infrastructure, population, and equity priority communities.

The California Adaptation Planning Guide (APG) is designed to support local government, regional organizations, and climate collaborative groups to integrate best practices and current science into their adaptation planning efforts. The APG provides helpful resources to local governments as they comply with state requirements for local adaptation planning, and provides recommendations and advice on community-level climate change adaptation planning.
