The 2022 Hazard Mitigation Plan (PDF) was approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) after final approval by City Council on November 10, 2022. Hazard mitigation means reducing the impact of hazards on people and property. A hazard mitigation plan identifies hazards and enables us to increase our resiliency to the risks by developing a strategy to reduce. The completed 2017 plan, enables the city to not only increase its resilience to hazards, but maintain its eligibility for state and federal hazard mitigation funding. The plan update is required every five years.
