Hazard mitigation planning reduces loss of life and property by minimizing the impact of disasters. These plans start at the local level!  Getting involved in the process helps our community identify the risks and helps us develop long-term strategies for protecting people and property. Mitigation plans are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction.  

Help position our community to successfully navigate the complexities of disasters by attending the mitigation planning meetings.
