From hurricane to wildfire, Fulton wants opinions on its emergency plan

If you’re someone who likes to know what’s going on at all times and has a back-up plan for everything, then Fulton County may want to hear from you.

The Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency Management Agency wants your opinion as it updates the “hazard mitigation plan,” which is an 867-page document that outlines how the county would respond to all kinds of catastrophes. That includes everything from drought and earthquakes to hurricane wind and wildfires.
