Grant County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Community Survey

This community survey is part of the community engagement process for the Grant County's Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (NHMP). Its mission is to reduce risk and increase resilience for the residents of the county. An NHMP is required to be updated every five years by FEMA to receive public assistance during disaster declaration and to receive funding from FEMA grants. The NHMP update will include a risk assessment of regional natural hazards and mitigation strategies.

For questions, to receive more information about the update, or to be involved in the update process, please email Jesse Noone, Natural Hazards Planner at DLCD, jesse.noone@dlcd.oregon.gov.
