FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Seneca County EMA Hosts Public Meetings for All Hazard Mitigation Plan Review

Tiffin, Ohio — Seneca County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) invites residents, business owners, and community stakeholders to attend public meetings on the five year update to the All Hazard Mitigation Plan. These meetings will take place on Monday, November 25, at 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM and will be held to initiate the public review period before the plan is submitted for state and federal approval.

The All Hazard Mitigation Plan is designed to reduce the risk of natural and human-made hazards in Seneca County by identifying potential risks and implementing measures to minimize their impacts. The public review period is an essential part of this process, offering community members an opportunity to provide feedback and ensure the plan addresses the needs and priorities of the county as a whole and political subdivisions.

The two scheduled meetings will cover the plan's objectives, key areas of focus, and proposed mitigation actions. Community members will have the opportunity to ask questions, offer suggestions, and learn how the plan will benefit the county.
