Clermont County is updating the Hazard Mitigation Plan as required by 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 201 and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. Local jurisdictions are required to update the Hazard Mitigation Plan every five (5) years in order to remain eligible for disaster mitigation grant programs. The existing County Plan was adopted in 2020 and is valid until June 14, 2025.
The purpose of the Hazard Mitigation Plan is to: identify/prioritize the hazards that could affect Clermont County, including the cities, villages and townships; identify mitigation activities to eliminate/reduce any losses from those hazards; and establish a coordinated process to implement the plan, taking advantage of state and federal grant opportunities.
