PUBLIC COMMENT: Jessica Burget, Director Montgomery County Emergency Management & Homeland Security presented Resolution 2023-2 Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan, to update the county-wide Multi- Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP). This plan is updated every five years. The MHMP focuses on the mitigation phase of the disaster life cycle. In order for National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities to be eligible for future mitigation funds, we must adopt either our own or their MHMP or participate in the development of a multi-jurisdictional MHMP.
