With the 2017 Perry County Ohio Hazard Mitigation Plan set to expire in October 2022, Perry County and its constituents are aiming to adopt a new, updated hazard mitigation plan. As outlined in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K), any local jurisdiction seeking funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must maintain an up-to-date disaster mitigation plan. This Plan meets the criteria as set forth by FEMA in the DMA2K and provides the County and its participating jurisdictions with a comprehensive guide for future mitigation efforts to combat the hazards that affect their communities.  This is a request for comments. Comments are due Friday, February 24, 2023.
