According to the legal notice, the plan focuses on the hazards with the highest potential for causing damage to buildings and other physical assets, injuries and fatalities to residents and disruption of government and business operations in the area.
The purpose of the hazard mitigation plan reportedly is to organize people and resources to produce long term and recurring benefits that help beat the repetitive cycle of disaster loss.
The risks from identified local natural hazards have been assessed and the planning team has included projects to address these risks in the plan.
The meeting will be held this Tuesday from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Luna County Commission Chambers, located on the third floor of the courthouse. The meeting is open to the public.
