LAREDO, Texas – The City of Laredo (City) will hold a public meeting on Monday, March 11, 2024, to update the public on the project and gather input for the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is currently in development. The meeting will be held virtually via Teams Meeting. The public, businesses, and organizations located throughout the city and surrounding areas are invited and encouraged to attend.
Hazard Mitigation planning is an initiative to lessen the impact of natural hazards that the City of Laredo faces. During this meeting, we will review the results of the Vulnerability Assessment from the City and explain the mitigation action requirements. The next step is to develop mitigation projects for each hazard that affects the City. Best of all, completing an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan will open a stream of funds for the City that will benefit the area.
By participating in this meeting, you can represent your community and give valuable experiences and ideas to the mitigation strategies planning process. The City will seek to ensure that the public, businesses, and other stakeholders remain aware of the planning process and are given an opportunity to participate and comment. This includes making components of the Draft plan available for public review and comment before any formal consideration or approval.
