Is your home or office building susceptible to damage from severe weather, wildfires, or floods? Do you want to recover more quickly from disasters and prevent future damage from these and other hazards?
The City of Texarkana, Texas Office of Emergency Management is leading a project to update the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan identifies natural and human caused hazards throughout the City. It also presents an assessment of critical facilities vulnerable to these hazards. The new and updated plan will list potential actions needed to reduce risk and future damage.
Although the plan enables the City to be eligible for various assistance grants, the plan’s value really lies in the identification of hazards and helps the City and its residents better prepare for disasters.
