Weigh in on citys Hazard Mitigation Plan

The City of Marysville encourages residents to participate in reviewing its Hazard Mitigation Plan, designed to mitigate disaster impacts on the community. The plan emphasizes four goals: enhancing public safety, strengthening infrastructure, improving preparedness, and fostering collaborative efforts among agencies. Over several months, the Emergency Management division developed the draft with input from city staff, partner agencies, and the public. The plan employs modeling and mapping for risk assessment, ensuring a comprehensive approach to community resilience. Specific actions for mitigation are outlined for the next five years, addressing identified local hazards.

Public comments are welcomed until December 3, enabling community engagement in disaster preparedness. Residents can access the draft plan online or reach out directly to the Emergency Preparedness Manager for more information. This initiative reflects the city’s commitment to creating a safer and more resilient environment for all.
