2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan

Hazard Mitigation Planning

The Hazard Mitigation Plan is a comprehensive document that identifies the natural and man-made hazards that pose a risk to Mason County and the surrounding region. This plan evaluates potential impacts, outlines strategies to reduce future losses, and prioritizes projects that make our community safer.

Mason County participates in a regional hazard mitigation planning process, meaning that some parts of the plan address regional risks that affect multiple counties, while other sections are tailored specifically to Mason County’s needs. The appendices include detailed risk assessments, maps, and lists of recommended mitigation actions, providing valuable information for residents, developers, and emergency planners.

This plan is updated every five years to ensure it reflects current hazards, growth patterns, and community priorities. Public input is a critical part of the process, and residents are encouraged to review the plan and provide feedback.
