Larimer Jurisdictions Looking for Public Input on New Hazard Mitigation Plan
Posted on: Dec-14-2015
Larimer cities, towns, and special districts have been working collaboratively with Larimer County over the last year to update our Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Twenty-seven different jurisdictions throughout Larimer County participated in this planning process, with additional input from non-profit and non-governmental organizations.The plan outlines the hazards that we face here in Larimer County, as well as the various ways in which each jurisdiction can mitigate those hazards in the future. Additionally, the participating jurisdictions added a social vulnerability analysis to the plan in recognition of the various social and economic factors that play a role in how each community may respond to emergencies and disasters.
Please take the time to review the plan and provide comments to ensure that the plan information accurately portrays the needs of the larger community. The public comment period will be open until January 10, 2016. Following the public comment period, the plan will be sent to the State Office of Emergency Management and to FEMA for approval, which will assist Larimer County in getting necessary support for hazard mitigation in the future.
For information regarding the plan or the process, please visit the project website at www.larimerhmp2016.com. Comments are welcome online at the project website or, if internet is not available, by contacting Lori Hodges, Director of Emergency Management at (970) 498-7147.
