The Muskegon County Hazard Mitigation Plan is a multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan developed pursuant to the criteria contained in 44CFR Part 201, as authorized by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. This plan is required in order to maintain eligibility to seek federal funding under the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant Program.
Hazard mitigation is an important part of being a disaster resilient community. Hazard mitigation is any action taken before, during, or after a disaster to permanently eliminate or reduce the long-term risk to human life and property from natural, technological, and man-made hazards. The purpose of mitigation planning is to identify policies and actions that can be implemented over the long term to reduce risk and future losses.
A draft Community Profile has been developed and was posted on Nov. 30 for public review.

Any questions or comments, email Muskegon County Emergency Services Director
The draft is submitted to the State of Michigan then FEMA for final approval. Once finalized, the Muskegon County Board of Commissioners will move to adopt the approved plan through a Resolution. Municipalities will then be presented with a Resolution to adopt the approved plan—which will make them eligible to apply for funding under the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant Program.
State Hazard Mitigation Plans are updated every five years.
