– Natural Hazard Mitigation plans

| I want to start with a brief overview of the Vegetation Risk Management Plan and
| how it fits into a counties Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan and how the VRMP can be a
| strategy to mitigate many of the natural disasters experienced on a county level… from high
| winds, ice storms, hurricanes, thunderstorms to wildfires.
| This project was developed with a regional look in mind and with the idea that regional
| planning agencies can provide the tools and resources and the ability to convene the
| different professionals, government “players”, etc that are required to complete the
| hazard mitigation plans.
| The VRMP is a strategy within the mitigation plan to help meet the goals and objectives
| for the hazards identified.
