Hood River County Seeks Comment On Hazards Management Plan

Hood River County Emergency Management is taking public comment on an update of its Natural Hazards Management Plan.  A number of different agencies took part in developing the plan, which outlines community risk for natural hazards and actions local agencies could take to reduce those risks before the next wildfire, winter storm, and earthquake.  County Emergency Manager Charles Young told County Commissioners two new hazards were added to the plan’s priority list:  extreme heat and air quality relating to smoke.  He adds this report is about mitigating the impacts of these hazards, not the emergency response itself.  Details of the plan are available at hoodriversheriff.com.  Comments received before December 5 will be integrated into the plan.
