Public Meetings Held on Hillsborough County's Disaster Plan

Officials want the community's input on how to improve the way they prepare and respond to inclement weather and disasters.

The Hillsborough County Hazard Mitigation Section is holding five public meetings to provide updates and seek public input from residents on the plans included in their disaster response plan.

The plan identifies local vulnerability to natural hazards, such as flooding and wildfires; assesses risks for all of Hillsborough County, and details government projects to mitigate or reduce those vulnerabilities. 

At the meetings, staff will provide an overview and seek input. For more information on the County’s Hazard Mitigation Programs, visit: www.hillsboroughcounty.org/pgm/hazardmit/.
