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.
