What is a Hazard Mitigation Plan?
Hazard mitigation planning forms the foundation for a community's long-term strategy to reduce disaster losses and break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage in the next disaster. State, County, and Tribal governments are required to develop a hazard mitigation plan as a condition of receiving certain types of hazard mitigation disaster assistance, emergency and non-emergency.
How can the community get involved?
A steering committee formed by the county has worked with the Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission during the last eight months to help guide decisions of the plan update. The upcoming public open houses are venues to gather public and stakeholder input and feedback as the planning process nears its endpoint.
