Brief Description: The Summit County Emergency Management Agency is  
responsible for adopting a revised mitigation plan every five years. The

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.
