Pennington County is in the process of updating our Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan, also referred to as the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan.

 

The purpose of this plan is to fulfill federal, state, and local hazard mitigation planning responsibilities consistent with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s guidelines. This plan will promote mitigation measures; implement short/long range strategies to minimize suffering, loss of life, damage to infrastructure, and damage to property; and eliminate or minimize conditions that would have an undesirable impact on the citizens, economy, environment, and the well-being of the county. This plan will educate and facilitate communication with the public, build public and political support for mitigation activities, and develop implementation and planning requirements for hazard mitigation projects.
