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

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.
