Weigh in on citys Hazard Mitigation Plan

Marysville encourages residents to review its Hazard Mitigation Plan, which aims to mitigate the effects of disasters on lives and property. The draft focuses on four key goals: reducing hazard threats, reinforcing critical infrastructure, improving preparedness, and fostering collaboration across various entities. The Emergency Management division developed this plan over several months, incorporating public feedback from meetings and surveys. An action plan outlines specific steps to be taken over the next five years, identifying local hazards and their potential impacts. Public comments will be accepted through December 3, allowing community members to engage in the planning process.

Residents can access the draft plan at the city’s website or contact Emergency Preparedness Manager Sarah LaVelle for further inquiries. This initiative highlights Marysville's commitment to ensuring a resilient community in the face of potential disasters. Enhanced preparedness and community involvement will be crucial in the successful implementation of the plan.
