What is a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan?
A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is a framework that guides our community in making decisions and developing policies to reduce or eliminate risks to life and property. The plan identifies the types of natural hazards that threaten our community, evaluates our vulnerability to those threats, and outlines a strategy to reduce or eliminate the risk posed by those threats.

In order to identify and plan for future disasters, we need your input. We want to hear about your experiences and your thoughts on setting priorities for our community.
