The updated Hocking County Hazard Mitigation has been completed and is available for public view and comments.
A Hazard Mitigation Plan is a strategic framework designed to reduce or eliminate long-term risks to life and property from natural disasters and other hazards. It involves identifying potential hazards, assessing vulnerabilities, and outlining specific actions to mitigate those risks. The plan typically includes goals, objectives, and projects, and it engages stakeholders such as local governments, emergency services, and the community. By prioritizing proactive measures, such as infrastructure improvements and land-use planning, the plan aims to enhance resilience and protect communities from future disasters.
