Hazards Mitigation Program

Oneida County Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan  

On October 30, 2000 the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 was passed into law DMA2K. The law requires local governments to prepare an All-Hazards Mitigation Plan in order to be eligible for funding from FEMA through the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Assistance Program and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. 

Oneida County Emergency Management has developed an All Hazards Mitigation Plan that meet the requirement of DMA2K. Local municipalities have the opportunity to adopt this plan and meet the requirements of DMA2K.
