HAZARD MITIGATION MEETING
Blizzards, tornadoes, and floods are a few of the natural hazards that strike this part of the country. Events like this have the potential of causing thousands of dollars annually in damage to property. To lessen the impact of these disasters in the future, Douglas County is beginning the process of updating its current Hazard Mitigation Plan.
A series of meetings, which are open for the public to attend, will occur this year to obtain input as the plan is developed. The first meeting will be held at the Douglas County Courthouse on August 4, 2026 at 10:00 AM. Agenda items for this kickoff meeting will include a discussion of hazard mitigation concepts, a review of the County’s current hazard mitigation plan, and a discussion about the planning process going forward.
Another way to contribute to the planning process is to fill out a survey. A copy of the survey can be obtained at the Douglas County Emergency Management Office, by going to www.districtiii.org
