A meeting for Meade County’s Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan Update will be held Tuesday, March 2, 2021 from 10:00 am to 12:00pm at the Meade County Commission Chambers. Stakeholders and residents of Meade County are encouraged to attend.
Natural hazard mitigation is defined as any cost-effective action that has the effect of reducing or preventing risk to people, property, and infrastructure caused by natural hazards. Mitigation measures fall into three categories: 1) measures that keep the hazard away from people, property, and structures; 2) measures that keep people, property, and structures away from the hazard; and 3) measures that do not address the hazard but rather reduce the impact of the hazard on the victims, such as insurance.
Discussion will include: identifying hazards, assessing risks, defining mitigation goals and projects, and implementation methods. Questions and comments can be directed to Black Hills Council of Local Governments at 605-394-2681 or emailed to ksnyder@wrbsc.com.
