Local government stakeholders in the Chelan County planning area are meeting on March 6 at the Confluence Technology Center to participate in the first round of Steering Committee meetings to update the Chelan County Hazard Mitigation and Community Wildfire Protection plans, two important plans used to identify natural hazards and their risks to the area.
A hazard mitigation plan describes an area’s vulnerability to the various natural hazards present with the county, along with an array of actions and projects for reducing key risks. A Community Wildfire Protection Plan focuses on reducing risk from wildfire. While natural disasters cannot be prevented from occurring, implementing mitigation strategies can make communities more sustainable and disaster-resilient and protect people and property.
All meetings will be held at the Confluence Technology Center, 285 Technology Way in Wenatchee, unless otherwise noted on the meeting agendas. The meeting on March 6 will run from 12:30 to 2 p.m. for the Hazard Mitigation Plan and 2:30 to 4 p.m. for the Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
Meeting agendas and information on the plan, and the purposes for planning can be found on the project website at: https://www.co.chelan.wa.us/natural-resources/pages/natural-hazard-mitigation-plan
