We need your help! For the past 10 months, Dare and Currituck Counties have been preparing an update to the 2015 hazard mitigation plan.  This planning process is required to remain eligible for federal FEMA disaster funding and to help the Outer Banks region to become more disaster-resistant through implementation of sound mitigation projects.  This updated plan focuses primarily on natural hazards such as coastal storms, flooding, tornadoes, etc., but also includes some technological (human-caused) hazards. The public is invited to review and comment on the draft 2020 Outer Banks Region Hazard Mitigation plan by going to www.obx-hmp.com and providing your comments and feedback by January 31, 2020.

Outer Banks Hazard Mitigation Plan Final Public Meeting Dates

Dare and Currituck Counties are holding three final meetings to discuss the final draft plan.

Dare and Currituck Counties are nearing the final stages of updating the Outer Banks Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan.  The Counties’ participation is required in order to maintain eligibility for future pre and post-disaster grant funding from FEMA.  The planning effort has helped both Counties and incorporated communities identify hazard risks, understand vulnerability, and develop ways to proactively mitigate this risk.  Past public meetings were held in March and June. Those meeting shared information on the planning process, the identified hazards, and provided opportunities for the public to be involved and provide feedback.

The final public meetings will be held as follows:

• Tuesday, January 7 at 5 p.m. at the Currituck Courthouse Commissioners’ Meeting Room, located at 153 Courthouse Road, Currituck, NC 27929
