Hazard Mitigation Plan Public Comments

 Eau Claire County Emergency Management is inviting comments  and input from residents, businesses, area organizations, and communities regarding the draft Eau Claire  County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2025-2030 and any needed projects to reduce or eliminate hazard risks  to residents and property.  

Eau Claire County has recently completed a draft update of the County’s Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, which  is a pre-requisite for certain FEMA grant funding. Hazard mitigation actions are essential to creating a  disaster-resilient community and breaking the disaster cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated  damage.

Example mitigation activities include the community safe room (storm  shelter) at the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in Chippewa Falls and the past buyout of floodprone  properties within the City of Eau Claire but can also include actions such as the distribution of weather radios  and burying power lines in areas prone to outages. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO AND TO PARTICIPATE.
