Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan UpdateDevelopment
A update to the regional Multi-jurisdictional
Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan is being developed by the Five County Association
of Governments' staff in collaboration with all of the cities and towns, and
the five counties in this region. The Plan update will include information
regarding the type, location and extent potential and regularly occurring
hazards in the Five County area and also includes information on previous
occurrences of hazard events and the likelihood of a future natural hazard
events.
This update is being
done through a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
As has been the case with the current plan (that is being updated) FEMA completed
a review of the current Plan and approved it in 2017. The current 5-year
Plan is valid until early 2022. This new Plan update will become effective
once completed, approved by FEMA and adopted by the jurisdictions in this
region. The updated Plan, once adopted will be valid from early 2022 through
2027. If there are any questions on the Plan update, please contact
Five County Community Planner Alyssa Gamble, at (435) 673-3548 ext. 117,
