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.
