Description of Montgomery County Multi-Jurisdictional All-Hazard Mitigation Plan:

As described in the Federal Register (Volume 67, Numbers 38 and 190, dated February 26, 2002 and October 1, 2002 respectively), Section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires that all local governments adopt, by November 1, 2004, an approved All-Hazard Mitigation Plan (Plan) to be eligible to receive future hazard mitigation grant funding. The purpose of the Plan is to demonstrate the “jurisdiction’s commitment to reduce risks from natural hazards, serving as a guide for decision- makers as they commit resources to reducing the effects of natural hazards. Local plans will also serve as the basis for the State to provide technical assistance and to prioritize project funding.”
