The goal of developing and maintaining a Hazard Mitigation Plan is to reduce the loss of life and property by increasing awareness of hazards, risks and vulnerabilities focusing on local resources and communicating priorities to the state and federal officials. Local governments must develop a hazard mitigation plan as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance through the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Programs. J-PREP is an informal multidiscipline organization. Attendees include the joint county/city Emergency Management team, local government leaders, emergency response agencies, civic and service organizations, support partners, local business, organized emergency preparedness neighborhoods, and other concerned citizens. We meet quarterly to discuss collaborative disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. ###
