Cochise County updated the multi-jurisdictional planning team revised the 2017 Cochise County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan following a public input process earlier this year. Feedback will be incorporated into the updated plan, slated for local adoption in December 2022.
The effort is being conducted in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, which requires all local, county, tribal, and state governments to have a FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan to be eligible for federal disaster mitigation funds.
The mitigation plan aims to aid Cochise County and participating jurisdictions by ensuring eligibility for hazard mitigation funds through FEMA, increase public awareness, reducing vulnerability to natural disasters, building partnerships, and more.
