What if my jurisdiction is not a part of the Hazard Mitigation planning process?

If your community is not covered by a local hazard mitigation plan, they have two options: 

  • Option #1- They can link to the Island County Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan by following the “linkage” procedures included in the plan once complete. It should be noted that this linkage will have to occur once this initial plan update process is completed.
  • Option #2- Prepare a single jurisdiction plan that meets the Code of Federal Regulation requirements for that jurisdiction.
