NEW APPROACH 2019 HMP

Goals:

• Continue the momentum of building more user-friendly

format to reach a broader group of stakeholders.

• Become leaders in enhancing the components of a

Hazard Mitigation Plan to inform and guide mitigation

investment.

• Leverage and credit the comprehensive work taking place

throughout the city on risk reduction to streamline the

HMP process and updates.
