Weigh in on citys Hazard Mitigation Plan

The City of Marysville urges residents to review its draft Hazard Mitigation Plan, which aims to bolster community resilience against disasters. The plan identifies four long-term goals: reducing hazards, strengthening infrastructure, enhancing preparedness, and aligning departmental priorities. Developed by the Emergency Management division, it incorporated input from various city departments, partner agencies, and public feedback through meetings and surveys. An action plan outlines specific mitigation actions to be implemented over five years, addressing both natural and human-caused hazards. The city utilized modeling and mapping for risk assessment and to identify community strengths.

Public review is open until December 3, allowing residents to contribute their thoughts on the plan. This initiative is crucial for safeguarding the community and minimizing the impact of potential disasters. Residents can access the plan and provide feedback at the city's website.
