Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan

A Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan is a strategic approach that helps communities prepare for and reduce the damage caused by disasters like floods, storms, earthquakes, and wildfires. It involves identifying risks, developing strategies to lessen their impacts, and establishing procedures to protect lives and property. The goal is to proactively prevent or lessen future damage, improve safety, and ensure quick recovery after an event. This plan is often developed with input from experts and the community to ensure effective, realistic measures are in place before a disaster occurs.
