Weigh in on citys Hazard Mitigation Plan

The City of Marysville invites feedback on its draft Hazard Mitigation Plan, designed to enhance community resilience against various hazards. The plan, developed over several months by the Emergency Management division, integrates insights from city staff, partner agencies, and public input. Four primary goals guide the initiative: reducing hazards to life and safety, strengthening critical infrastructure, enhancing community preparedness, and coordinating efforts across sectors. An accompanying action plan outlines specific strategies for implementation over the next five years. Public comments are accepted until December 3, with opportunities to review the plan online or contact the Emergency Preparedness Manager directly.

This proactive approach aims to mitigate the impacts of disasters on residents and businesses. The city has utilized modeling and mapping techniques to assess risks and identify strengths. Engaging the community in this process underscores the importance of collective action in building a sustainable and resilient environment.
