PUBLIC MEETING THURSDAY FOR COMMENT ON WASHINGTON CO. HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

  

Washington County residents are invited on Thursday to provide input on the county’s hazard mitigation plan.

A public meeting, hosted by Washington County, the Cities of Brenham and Burton, and Blinn College, will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Washington County Expo Event Center in Brenham.

The current hazard mitigation plan was approved in 2019 and must be reviewed and updated every five years. 

Hazard mitigation plans apply to actions taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from natural hazards.  Those include floods, droughts, hurricanes, fires, severe winter storms, tornadoes, hail, dam failures and excessive heat.

A copy of the current plan is available for review in the office of the county judge at the Washington County Courthouse.
