Overview of the Region 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan
The Region 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan is being updated in 2011 through 2013. The Region 2000 Local Government Council will be working to prepare a revised plan that will maintain the region's eligibility for FEMA's disaster mitigation program funds. The hazard mitigation planning management team will be updating the plan by further identifying known hazards, assessing potential risks, and developing mitigation strategies to protect lives and property and to prepare the region for disasters that may strike.
We have invited each locality to participate in the planning process. Along with their participation, community representatives and the area's experts in emergency management and the region's hazard risks will also participate in developing the goals and strategies for making Region 2000 more hazard-resistant.
As we work through the planning process, information will be available on this website. We will also be requesting input from community organizations and individuals through community meetings, open houses, comment periods for the plan, and this website (you can submit comments to pgabathuler@region2000.org).
