Community Input on Mitigation Plan Update

Burleigh County and City of Bismarck Seek Community Input on Mitigation Plan Update

Burleigh County and the City of Bismarck want your input regarding how to make our community safer from potential hazards/disasters.  We’re examining the hazards facing our community as well as strategies to mitigate (reduce or eliminate) their impact.  Our current plans have been approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and require an update every five years. 

Citizens are invited to complete a brief survey by April 10^th.  Click here for survey link.

Mitigation is defined by any action taken before an incident occurs to reduce loss of life and property.

Mitigation's value to society includes:

• Creating safer communities by reducing losses of life and property.
• Enabling individuals and communities to recover more rapidly from disasters.
• Lessening the financial impact of disasters on individuals and communities.
