Weigh in on citys Hazard Mitigation Plan

The City of Marysville is currently seeking public input on its Hazard Mitigation Plan, which aims to lessen the impact of disasters on the community. The draft plan focuses on four primary goals: reducing hazard-related threats to public safety, strengthening critical infrastructure, enhancing preparedness, and coordinating efforts across departments and agencies. Developed over several months, the plan involved collaboration among city staff, partner agencies, and community members through public meetings and an online survey. It assesses local risks from both natural and technological hazards, resulting in an actionable five-year strategy for mitigation. Public review and comment are open until December 3, encouraging community involvement in shaping disaster resilience efforts.

Residents can access the draft plan and submit feedback through the city’s website or contact the Emergency Preparedness Manager directly. This proactive approach aims to protect lives, property, and the environment while fostering long-term sustainability. The plan underscores the city's commitment to preparedness and community resilience in the face of potential disasters.
