Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Survey
The City of Bonney Lake is undertaking an important update to its Hazard Mitigation Plan, collaborating with the Pierce County Department of Emergency Management. This initiative seeks to systematically identify and implement strategies to minimize the loss of life and property damage from local hazards. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 mandates that state and local governments develop FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plans to access certain types of disaster assistance. By participating in the survey, community members can provide valuable input that will shape effective mitigation strategies tailored to local needs. This proactive planning is also a prerequisite for funding under the Robert T.
Stafford Act, emphasizing the significance of pre-disaster preparedness. Engaging residents is crucial, as their experiences and insights can lead to more robust and effective hazard mitigation efforts. The city’s commitment to involving the community demonstrates a collaborative approach to enhancing public safety.
