Weigh in on citys Hazard Mitigation Plan

The City of Marysville has released a draft of its Hazard Mitigation Plan, inviting public review and comments until December 3. The plan aims to enhance community resilience against disasters by focusing on four primary goals: reducing hazard threats, strengthening infrastructure, enhancing preparedness, and aligning priorities across entities. The Emergency Management division developed the draft with extensive input from city staff, partner agencies, and the public through meetings and surveys. An action plan outlines specific mitigation strategies to be implemented over five years, addressing both natural and technological hazards. The city utilized modeling and mapping techniques to assess risks and identify community strengths.

This proactive approach demonstrates Marysville's commitment to protecting its residents and environment from potential disasters. Access to the draft plan and comment submission is available on the city's website. The initiative highlights the importance of community involvement in shaping disaster preparedness strategies.
