Hazard Mitigation Plans

The purpose of the Hazard Mitigation Plan is to provide an overview of the hazards (both natural and human-caused) that may impact a community and to outline the community’s plans to mitigate the potential loss of life and damages to property and the economy that could occur with these events.
