Title
A RESOLUTION OF HUDSON ADOPTING THE 2024 SUMMIT COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
Brief Description: The Summit County Emergency Management Agency is responsible for adopting a revised mitigation plan every five years. The thirty-one communities in Summit County worked on a revised Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan over the past year, which included the City of Hudson. The Plan provides a guide for decisionmakers to help reduce risks from natural hazards and serves as a basis for the State of Ohio to provide technical and funding assistance. The mitigation plan is a stakeholder-driven document that describes risks and vulnerabilities, and long-term strategies and implementation approaches for reducing loss of life and property from natural disasters. Mitigation plans are vital to breaking the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.
