Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is a strategic document developed by communities to identify potential risks from natural disasters like floods, storms, or earthquakes. It outlines ways to reduce or eliminate these risks, aiming to protect residents, property, and infrastructure. The plan involves assessing hazards, setting priorities, and implementing measures such as improving building codes or creating early warning systems. Regular updates ensure the community stays prepared and resilient, helping to minimize damage and recovery costs when disasters occur.
