Please share your thoughts and ideas for helping our community reduce the risks and become better prepared for possible future natural disasters.

The easiest way to provide your input is to participate in our Local Hazard Mitigation Survey. By including your contact information, you will be automatically entered to win a Personal Emergency Preparedness Kit valued at over $40!

YOUR input is vital to this plan. Along the way there will be several opportunities to participate in the development of the plan and to comment on the draft before the City sends it to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for approval.

Attend a Workshop!

A “Local Hazard Mitigation Plan” is a written plan for reducing the potential for harm of natural disasters throughout our community. In other words, if we consider what could happen during a natural disaster and put strategies and resources in place before it happens, we could reduce the number of lives lost, injuries occurring and properties damaged. By planning ahead for what COULD happen, we hope to save lives and reduce property damage if something does happen.
