Hazard Mitigation Plan public meeting
The county is working with municipalities to update its multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, and public feedback is critical to the process. On Sept. 17, from 6 to 8 p.m. join the Weld County Office of Emergency Management in the Events Room of the Administration Building, located at 1150 O Street in Greeley, to learn about this plan and provide valuable feedback.
Updated every five years, the Hazard Mitigation Plan helps outline potential hazards as well as mitigation projects to lessen the impact of those hazards in individual communities and the county. This is a goal that works best with everyone’s input, and we hope to see everyone there!
