Santa Fe County Emergency Management is hosting a meeting on Thursday, February 11, 2016 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. at the Pojoaque Fire Station (17919 US 84/285, Santa Fe, NM) to present information and obtain public input on reducing risk to natural disasters in the County, including floods, wildfires, winter storms and other hazards. Public input on the draft risk assessment and ideas for potential mitigation projects are being sought at this meeting.

 

The meeting is part of the Santa Fe County Local Hazard Mitigation Planning Project. This plan is being developed by a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee comprised of representatives from various County departments and key stakeholders. The intent of the plan is to reduce the vulnerability of people and property in the County from the impacts of natural hazards and to become eligible for certain mitigation grant funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).  

 

All interested parties are invited and encouraged to attend and learn more about hazards and the proactive approaches that are being proposed to reduce their impact before they occur again. 

 

Feedback from the meeting will be incorporated into the draft plan, as appropriate, which will be made available for public review and comment in July 2016. For more information on this project, contact Martin Vigil at (505) 992-3072 or mavigil@santafecountynm.gov.
