WHEREAS, the Act establishes a framework for the development of a county hazard mitigation
plan; and
WHEREAS, the Act as part of the planning process requires public involvement and local

WHEREAS, the plan must include a risk assessment including past hazards, hazards that
threaten the county, maps of hazards, an estimate of structures at risk, estimate of potential dollar losses
for each hazard, a general description of land uses and development trends; and
WHEREAS, the plan must include a mitigation strategy including goals and objectives and an
action plan identifying specific mitigation projects and costs; and
WHEREAS, the plan must include a maintenance or implementation process including plan
updates, integration of plan into other planning documents and how the county will maintain public
participation and coordination; and
