Hazard Mitigation Survey

Hazard Mitigation Survey

Is your home, office building or retail establishment susceptible to damage from severe weather, wildfires, or floods? Do you want to recover more quickly from disasters and prevent future damage from these and other hazards? Brazoria County Office of Emergency Management and local jurisdictions are leading a project to update the County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan identifies natural hazards throughout the county. It also presents an assessment of critical facilities vulnerable to these hazards. The new and updated plan will list potential actions needed to reduce risk and future damage. Although the plan enables Brazoria County to be eligible for various assistance grants, the plan’s value really lies in the identification of hazards and helps the county and its residents better prepare for disasters.
