The Hazard Mitigation Plan outlines the county’s risks and vulnerabilities from natural, technological, and human-caused disasters. It also identifies strategies to reduce those risks and lessen the impact of future emergencies.

 

The HMP is a FEMA-required plan that helps keep Chatham County eligible for important federal disaster assistance programs. These programs provide funding for projects such as home elevations, infrastructure upgrades, and flood mitigation.

 

Community members are encouraged to attend to learn about the plan’s updates, including hazard mitigation goals, key hazards of concern, and strategies to address them. Attendees will also have an opportunity to share their experiences, concerns, and ideas for reducing risks in Chatham County.

Public input will play an important role in shaping the updated plan and ensuring it reflects the needs and priorities of the community.
