BACKGROUND: 

The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (“DMA 2000”) requires that all local agencies have a local Hazard Mitigation Plan in place to be eligible for both pre and post disaster federal funding. A Hazard Mitigation Plan (“Mitigation Plan”) is a comprehensive document that identifies potential natural hazards, the extent of risk posed by these hazards, the vulnerabilities of Clark County to these hazards, and the actions the County may take to mitigate or reduce the potential impact of the hazards.

Clark County successfully created and implemented a multi-jurisdictional mitigation plan in 2018.  To maintain eligibility for federal disaster assistance, the mitigation plan must be updated and resubmitted for state and federal approval every five years. The 2024 plan is an update of the 2018 plan that was approved by the State of Nevada and the Federal Management Agency (FEMA) and adopted by the County.

The 2024 mitigation plan identifies a broad range of mitigation action items, including assigned departments, timelines, and priorities. The mitigation action items are aimed at activities that will minimize or eliminate the impact of hazards to the community and its vital resources. The mitigation plan may be reviewed at the following link: https://www.clarkcountynv.gov/2024-Multi-Jurisdictional-Hazard-Mitigation-Plan

Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners accept, adopt, and approve the 2024 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan as presented and the Resolution.  A certified Resolution will be forwarded to FEMA along with a request for final approval of the plan.
