Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan

A Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is a strategic document that identifies different types of natural and human-made disasters—like floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and fires—that could affect a community. It outlines steps to reduce risks and limit damage before disasters occur, such as strengthening buildings or improving warning systems. The goal is to protect people, property, and the environment by planning ahead, ensuring that communities are better prepared and can recover more quickly after an event. This plan involves local officials, emergency services, and residents working together to create safer, more resilient communities.
