Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan
La Paz County Emergency Management Begins Work on
The La Paz County Multi –Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
A planning team of representatives from within the county, the Town of Quartzsite, Town of Parker, Colorado River Indian Tribes as well as other vital organizations throughout the county are participating in a county-wide hazard mitigation planning update process. The purpose of this process is to update the current 2017 County Hazard Mitigation Plan, previously approved by FEMA on 9/12/2011. Local, county, tribal and state governments are required to have a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible for federal hazard mitigation grant funds and in some cases, other types of disaster funding. The mitigation plan focuses on the communities’ most threatening hazards and establishes a strategy to reduce the impact from those hazards to protect people and property and to create safer, more resilient communities. The Planning Team anticipates having a plan draft by September 2020, at which time public access to the updated plan draft will be provided, with the opportunity to again comment.
