Goal:
Increase education and awareness around threats, hazards, and vulnerabilities.
Build partnerships for risk reduction involving government, organizations, businesses, and the public
Identify long-term, broadly-supported strategies for risk reduction
Align risk reduction with other state, tribal, or community objectives
Identify implementation approaches that focus resources on the greatest risks and vulnerabilities
Communicate priorities to potential sources of funding
EOP (Emergency Operations Plan) (Update Coming Soon):
This plan describes who will do what, as well as when, with what resources, and by what authority- before, during, and immediately after an emergency.
Debris Management Plan: (Will be updated by December 2026)
Damage Assessment: (Will be added to the page on a later date)
Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan:
This plan is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. It is most effective when implemented under a comprehensive, long-term mitigation plan. State, tribal, and local governments engage in hazard mitigation planning to identify risks and vulnerabilities associated with natural disasters and develop long-term strategies for protecting people and property from future hazard events. Mitigation plans are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.
A Hazard Mitigation Plan is a strategic framework designed to reduce or eliminate long-term risks to life and property from natural disasters and other hazards. It involves identifying potential hazards, assessing vulnerabilities, and outlining specific actions to mitigate those risks. The plan typically includes goals, objectives, and projects, and it engages stakeholders such as local governments, emergency services, and the community. By prioritizing proactive measures, such as infrastructure improvements and land-use planning, the plan aims to enhance resilience and protect communities from future disasters.
