Orange County Insight May 2024

Your Input is Needed to Update the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan!

By: April Clark, Emergency Planner, Orange County Fire & EMS

Orange County, in partnership with the Rappahannock Rapidan Regional Commission and other local jurisdictions, is updating the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan and developing a Regional Resilience Plan. Public input is a key component of this process. Please take a moment to share your perspectives on hazards that affect our community by completing a 5 - 10 minute survey. You may access the survey at https://arcg.is/00irjz1, or scan the QR code. A hardcopy version will also be available at RRRC Offices, 420 Southridge Parkway, Culpeper, VA. For additional information on this planning process, email planinfo@rrregion.org. In addition to the Hazard Mitigation Plan update, this effort will incorporate a new Regional Resilience Plan that will primarily address flooding, historically the region ’ s biggest hazard. The creation of a Regional Resilience Plan in tandem with the HMP update will provide for a unified effort and, once approved, will result in localities being eligible for expanded state grant funding to implement strategies and projects.

Use the QR Code to take this important survey.

Esta encuesta está disponible en español.

All Orange County residents, including those in the Towns of Gordonsville and Orange, are encouraged to participate! For any questions or additional information, please contact the project team at planinfo@rrregion.org or visit www.rrregion.org/hmp.
