The Hamilton County Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency (EMHSA) is in the process of updating the County's mitigation plan. In order to be eligible for pre- and post-disaster federal funding, every jurisdiction in Hamilton County is required to participate in the development of and to adopt a local mitigation plan (per the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000).

 A  webinar is being offered that  will provide important information regarding FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Program directive, and more importantly, demonstrate how participating in this plan will enable local jurisdictions to be eligible for pre- and post-disaster funding. Finally, EMHSA will demonstrate how to access your portion of the plan via the online planning system. FEMA requires proof of participation, and attending one of these webinars will count toward that requirement.
