Every five years, Fulton County is required to update their Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan works to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life or property from natural, technological and human-caused hazards.
Potential disasters the county has looked at previously include dam failure, drought, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes and other severe weather, as well as risks to the watershed.
Based on public input, identified risks, and available capabilities, the county will develop mitigation goals and objectives as part of a strategy for avoiding losses due to these potential hazards.
Fulton county is seeking the public’s input on hazards that impact the area at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct.18, via Zoom.
