Monmouth County, New Jersey 2026 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan: Virtual Public Workshop #2

/in /by

FREEHOLD, N.J. – The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office is updating its 2021 Monmouth County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). Hazard mitigation planning identifies risks and vulnerabilities associated with natural disasters and develops long-term strategies for protecting people and property from future hazard events. A HMP is required by state and federal agencies to be updated every five (5) years in order for communities in Monmouth County to be eligible for certain types of state and federal disaster relief funds after a disaster occurs.

The Project Team is engaging with the public via a workshop to understand unique assets that should be protected, the hazards we face, and findings from the risk assessment. Questions we may discuss include:

  • Where are the hazards experienced?
  • What are your biggest concerns?
  • What are your recommendations for hazard mitigation?

In-person Public Workshop:

Date and Time: Thursday, June 20, 2024, 10:00 – 11:00 AM

Location:  Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office
2500 Kozloski Road
Freehold, NJ 07728
