Hazard Mitigation Plans

Preparing a plan requires the engagement of local governments, stakeholders, and residents in the planning process.

The Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) collaborates with Illinois Counties, Regional Planning Commissions, and the University of Illinois Extension to create and update local Hazard Mitigation Plans.
