Town and County Working to Strengthen Community Resilience
You may not be able to foresee, or stop, disasters, but you can have your ducks in a row to mitigate impacts when they occur. The Town of Mammoth Lakes and Mono County are currently lining up their ducks by reviewing and updating the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). As the name states, the plan focuses on hazard mitigation. If hazards can be identified and mitigated beforehand, the impacts of a disaster on you and your local community may be less severe. By creating this plan and keeping it updated every five years, federal, state and local agencies are more likely to be on the same page when it comes to understanding the current hazards facing our small towns. All of the agencies may then create a more unified strategy. Ultimately, the plan looks to strengthen community resilience.

Be Snow Smart This Winter!
Mammoth Lakes receives some of the heaviest snowfall in California. During heavy snowfall, please stay off the roads to let our snow removal operators clear the roads and sidewalks.
Do not put on chains when you have to, put on chains before you need them. Stopping in roadways is dangerous and is to be avoided.
We recommend you park your vehicle (off the roadway and behind the orange snow stakes). If you are not comfortable driving in wintry conditions, let the professionals at Eastern Sierra Transit Authority do the driving for you!
Be Snow Smart this winter by observing a few winter rules and lifesaving tips:
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP and WATCH FOR FALLING SNOW AND ICE!
Look out for and obey all posted traffic signage – especially regarding speed limits and chain controls. When chain control conditions are in effect, the maximum speed limit throughout town is 25 mph
Slow down – speeding is a major cause of winter accidents.
Keep your distance from snow removal equipment and pass with extreme caution.
It is a violation of the Town of Mammoth Lakes municipal code to park on any roadway from November 1 through April 30.
Clear snow off the roof of your vehicle.
