Lake County All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan Update in Progress

Public Input Needed

Lake County and the Village of Lincolnshire are in the process of updating the Lake County All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. The Mitigation Plan, first developed in 2005, identifies activities and projects to reduce the damages caused by natural hazards such as tornadoes, floods, and severe summer and winter storms. The update of the Mitigation Plan is funded through a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Mitigation means anything that can be done to reduce the impact of a natural hazard.

Public input and comments are important to the Mitigation Plan update. All Lake County residents and property owners are encouraged to complete a short survey that can be found on the Internet at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/D53CQ3K.

Survey responses provided will help Lake County prioritize natural hazards that could impact residents and property owner, and to determine how to be better prepared for natural hazard emergencies.
