Explanation
§ The purpose of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Five-year Hazard Mitigation Plan is to mitigate the impact of identified natural hazard risks.
§ Section 322 of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires that local governments develop an All-Hazards Mitigation Plan in order to receive Hazard Mitigation Grant funds and other disaster-related assistance funding.
§ The multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan includes the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and six adjoining jurisdictional towns, all of whom must approve independently.
§ To date, the plan has been approved by the State of North Carolina and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
