Howard County’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will hold a virtual public meeting on Wednesday, March 29th from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. to gather public input and discuss the progress on the County’s Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan and Flood Mitigation Plan. These plans define goals and actions that can be taken to mitigate impacts from a variety of hazards, including flooding, within the County. Every five years, the County is required to update these plans.

This virtual public meeting will include presentation slides using an internet-based virtual platform. Staff members from OEM and County’s Department of Public Works (DPW) will be on hand to explain both plans, answer any questions, and gather public comments. Meeting summaries will be posted to the plan webpage after the meetings.
