Weigh in on citys Hazard Mitigation Plan

The City of Marysville has opened public review for its draft Hazard Mitigation Plan, allowing residents to comment until December 3. The plan aims to enhance the community's resilience against disasters, focusing on four primary goals: reducing hazards to life and safety, strengthening critical infrastructure, enhancing preparedness, and coordinating efforts among various agencies. Developed by the Emergency Management division, the plan integrates insights from public meetings and an online survey, ensuring broad community input. An action plan outlines specific measures for implementation over the next five years, addressing both natural and technological hazards. This proactive approach aims to mitigate the impact of disasters on lives, property, and the environment.

Residents can view the draft and submit comments through the city’s website or by contacting the Emergency Preparedness Manager. The initiative underscores Marysville's dedication to improving public safety and disaster readiness. As climate change increases the frequency of disasters, such plans are crucial for community sustainability.
