Weigh in on citys Hazard Mitigation Plan

The City of Marysville is encouraging residents to participate in the review of its draft Hazard Mitigation Plan, designed to bolster community resilience against disasters. The plan outlines four primary goals, including reducing public health threats and strengthening critical infrastructure to withstand various hazards. Developed by the Emergency Management division, it incorporates insights from city staff, partner agencies, and community feedback gathered through public meetings and online surveys. An actionable five-year plan is included, detailing specific mitigation strategies to address identified hazards. Public comments are accepted until December 3 through the city’s website or by contacting the Emergency Preparedness Manager.

This proactive approach underscores the city’s commitment to safeguarding lives, property, and the environment. The draft plan reflects a comprehensive risk assessment based on modeling and mapping. Engaging the community is crucial for aligning mitigation efforts across departments and agencies.
