Hazard Vulnerability Assessment

Fictitious County, and the municipalities, following the intent of Senate Bill 300, and the Hazard Mitigation Act of 2000, have assessed their vulnerability to hazards. Because of the length of time required to adequately gather information, the lack of funding  and insufficient staff to prepare an in depth all hazard mitigation plan in a single planning effort, plan development will be in three stages.
 
(a.) All hazards with a rating of five (5) and four (4) will be included in planning for FY 2001/2002. Natural hazards that have a rating of three (3) or higher will be included in planning for FY 2001/2002.
(b.) Technological and manmade hazards that have a rating of three (3) and two (2) as well as natural hazards that have a rating of two (2) will be included in planning for FY 2002/2003.
(c.) Natural and manmade hazards that have a rating of one (1) will be included in planning for FY 2003/2004.
