Regional Service -
Environmental
Hazard Mitigation
The CVCOG
Regional Services department is also responsible for the Hazard Mitigation
planning services. In 2002 FEMA declared that it would no longer aid
communities with Hazard Mitigation projects unless those communities had a FEMA
approved Hazard Mitigation Action Plan, to this end the Regional Services
Department acquired a grant to hire H2O Consultants out ofAustin to aid in the completion of
this plan. The final hazard mitigation action plan, Towards a
Disaster Resistant Concho Valley has been approved by both the State of
Texas and FEMA. The plan may
now be used to implement projects that will aid in making the
Concho
Valley region a safer place to
live.
