Hazard Mitigation Plan

Residents’ input is needed in developing the region’s pre-disaster or Hazard Mitigation Plan.

A Hazard mitigation plan is the process used by state and local leaders to understand risks from natural hazards/disasters and develop long-term strategies to reduce the impacts of disasters on people, property, and the environment. Through a grant provided by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM), the Central Virginia Planning District Commission (CVPDC) with the help of area localities is developing a pre-disaster plan or Hazard Mitigation Plan and needs your help.
