A planning team comprised of representatives from the Town of Taylor along with other jurisdictions within Navajo County are meeting regularly (starting In November 2010) to update and amend the existing Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The development of this plan is required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K).
The DMA2K requires all local, county, tribal and state governments to have a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible for federal hazard mitigation funds. The plan will focus on the most threatening hazards to citizens and property and will provide a strategy to reduce or eliminate the risk from those hazards.
The planning team anticipates having a draft plan in early 2011, at which time the public will be provided with the opportunity to review the plan and submit comments.
