The City of Round Rock will hold a public meeting as part of an ongoing effort to develop the 2010 Hazard Mitigation Plan, “Hazard Mitigation Planning in the Round Rock Community.”

The purpose of the open meeting is to provide a project overview and solicit information from the community that can help the project team in identifying and analyzing hazards affecting residents, as well as recommending possible actions that can be taken to reduce the impact of those hazards.  The public is invited and encouraged to attend the meeting. If you cannot attend the public meeting, information about the planning process and a public participation survey will soon be available.

The goal of the Hazard Mitigation Plan for the City of Round Rock is to minimize or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from known hazards by identifying and implementing cost-effective mitigation actions. Mitigation is defined by FEMA as sustained actions taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards and their effects.

Questions about the Hazard Mitigation Plan should be addressed to H2O Partners, planning consultants for the City of Round Rock.
