Project Purpose

 Hayes, Hitchcock, and Frontier Counties updated their Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) with assistance from JEO Consulting Group. An HMP is a community-guided document which identifies vulnerability to natural and man-made hazards and mitigation projects to reduce or eliminate such risks. Having an approved HMP is a requirement of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for jurisdictions to become eligible for several grant funding options. Having an approved and updated plan enables jurisdictions to be stronger and more resilient by:

  1. Reducing your jurisdiction's risk and impacts from disasters;
  2. Gaining eligibility for pre- and post-disaster mitigation grants; and
  3. Builds partnerships and relations with stakeholders.
