The Outer Banks Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan update is underway, and Currituck County, Dare County, and the incorporated communities are seeking public input on changes in risks and vulnerabilities as well as new opportunities for mitigation. This plan update is required for all communities to maintain eligibility for pre- and post-disaster mitigation funding from FEMA. This effort will also help our communities to understand vulnerability and develop ways to proactively mitigate risk. To learn more about the planning process and provide your input, attend one of these upcoming meetings:
- Wednesday, August 28th at 5pm at the Avon Volunteer Fire Department, 40159 Harbor Rd, Avon, NC 27915
- Thursday, August 29th at 11am at the Corolla Public Library, 1123 Ocean Trail, Corolla, NC 27927
