Hazard mitigation plan

Mitigation plans assist communities to reduce risk by identifying resources, information, and strategies for risk reduction while helping to guide and coordinate mitigation activities throughout the county.

This Garfield County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) provides a set of actions to reduce risk from natural hazards through education and outreach programs, the development of partnerships, and implementation of preventative activities such as land use or watershed programs. It is a multi-jurisdictional plan that contains actions specific to Garfield County and to the communities and special districts (such as fire districts) within it.

The resources and information within the mitigation plan:
(1) Establish a foundation for coordination and collaboration among agencies and the public in Garfield County;
(2) Identify and prioritize future mitigation projects; and
(3) Meet qualifications for federal assistance programs.
