Weigh in on citys Hazard Mitigation Plan

The City of Marysville has released a draft of its Hazard Mitigation Plan, inviting public feedback until December 3. This plan aims to bolster community resilience against natural and human-caused disasters by focusing on four key goals, including reducing hazards to public safety and enhancing critical infrastructure. Developed through collaboration between the Emergency Management division, city staff, and public input, the draft incorporates risk assessments to identify local hazards and necessary mitigation actions over the next five years. Public meetings and an online survey contributed to the plan's development, emphasizing community engagement. The proposed actions are designed to improve preparedness and response capabilities tailored to the specific needs of Marysville residents and businesses.

The plan aligns priorities across departments and agencies for coordinated efforts toward sustainability. Access to the draft plan and feedback mechanisms are available on the city’s website. Engaging residents in this process is vital for creating an effective and comprehensive mitigation strategy.
