Orange County Hazard Mitigation Planning Hosts Public Information Session

Orange County is updating its hazard mitigation plan to ensure continued eligibility for federal grants that help protect our communities in times of crisis. In order for this plan to prioritize the safety and well-being of our residents, the Orange County Division of Emergency Management is hosting a public information session regarding this update to the Orange County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

This session is set for Thursday, November 21st, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Orange County Emergency Services Center's Auditorium, located at 22 Wells Farm Road, Goshen, NY.

Prior to the event, we are inviting residents and stakeholders to provide valuable feedback that will help shape the future of our community's disaster resilience. Your insights are essential in developing a plan that reflects the needs and priorities of Orange County. The survey will take 15 minutes, and your responses will remain confidential.
