The 2025 Hazards and Climate Resilience Plan (HCR) is San Francisco’s roadmap to minimizing the impacts of natural hazards and climate change on buildings, infrastructure, and communities. It identifies the natural hazards and climate risks San Francisco faces and proposes over 75 strategies to build resilience. 

The HCR also serves as San Francisco’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. It is updated every five years to include the latest understanding of natural hazards and climate change impacts, local risks, and community priorities. The 2025 HCR has been approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on 8/14/2025.

The 2025 HCR serves as an update to the 2020 HCR and is a key implementation plan for the Safety & Resilience Element of the San Francisco General Plan. It also complements the City’s Climate Action Plan, a roadmap for eliminating greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the severity of climate-related hazards.
