The Central Midlands Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) is undergoing a plan update and we are seeking public input! This plan covers Lexington County, Newberry County, and Richland County and their incorporated municipalities. The plan is required for our communities to maintain pre- and post-disaster mitigation funding from FEMA. This effort will also help our communities to understand vulnerability and develop ways to proactively reduce risk.

Public input is critical to the planning process. The public is invited to participate in this planning effort by completing a survey. Information from the survey responses will be analyzed and incorporated into the plan. Public input will help the planning committee to identify hazard risks, understand local vulnerabilities, and select appropriate and achievable mitigation strategies to protect the region and its residents from hazard impacts. 

For more information about the plan update, visit the plan website at www.centralmidlandshmp.com. On this website you’ll find information about upcoming and past committee and public meetings, a link for the public survey, draft documents, and other mitigation planning resources.
