Safety Element Update

The Safety Element is a state-mandated section of the City’s General Plan (i.e. the Fullerton Plan) that focuses on understanding the hazards and safety issues that affect the community and ensures public safety concerns are adequately addressed.

The quality of life in Fullerton is directly impacted by the sense of security of its residents and businesses. Addressing and reducing the risks associated with natural and human-induced hazards would further the City’s overall goal to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for its citizens.
