District 4 Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan
District 4 Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan which includes Clay County will be available for viewing February 11th, 2025.
Hazard mitigation planning reduces loss of life and property by minimizing the impact of
disasters. It begins with state, tribal and local governments identifying natural disaster risks
and vulnerabilities that are common in their area. After identifying these risks, they develop
long-term strategies for protecting people and property from similar events. Mitigation plans
are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction.
