Emergency Outreach and Strategic Plan

Help Shape San Diego’s Emergency Preparedness Planning

The County works to keep our region safe by planning for, responding to, and recovering from emergencies and disasters.

We’ve created a Community Outreach and Engagement Strategic Plan to guide how we connect with people across the region before, during, and after emergencies. This plan is based on FEMA’s Whole Community Approach, which focuses on including everyone in emergency planning—especially people from diverse cultures and backgrounds.

We want to hear from you!

OES invites you to review the Community Outreach and Engagement Strategic Plan. Your feedback helps us:

• Find what’s missing in our plan
• Ensure we understand community concerns and needs
• Use local knowledge and ideas
• Build trust and stronger partnerships
• Make sure community input is included in our emergency plans

How to get involved:

• Read and comment on the plan
• Join our community activities and meetings - coming soon, check back for dates!
• Ask questions

You can review and comment on the draft plan between August 8–September 5, 2025.

Together, we can make San Diego County better prepared and more resilient for everyone.
