Lincoln County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Hazard mitigation planning reduces loss of life and property by minimizing the impact of disasters. It begins with identifying risks and vulnerabilities that are common in the area. Then developing long-term strategies for protecting people and property from similar events. Mitigation plans are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction.
Planning that includes the whole community helps to build a resilient community. Have a comment on the emergency plans or want to be a part of the planning group? Send feedback/ information here.
