The Chelan County Hazard Mitigation Plan is in the process of being updated and you can participate in the process.
Two open house events are being held from 1:00-3:30 p.m., Thursday at Wenatchee City Hall and 6:00-7:30 p.m. at Leavenworth City Hall.
Can't make it to an open house? Then take the survey to learn more about the natural hazards in our community!
The planning team for the Chelan County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) update invites you to review the draft plan and provide feedback..
The HMP outlines the county’s vulnerabilities to natural hazards and details various strategies and projects designed to reduce risks. While natural disasters cannot be stopped, proactive mitigation efforts can help communities become more resilient, protecting lives and property while promoting long-term sustainability.
A 14-day public comment period for the draft plan will run through Oct. 17. The draft plan is available for review on the County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan webpage.
The webpage also features a project StoryMap that provides in-depth and interactive maps and information on natural hazards within Chelan County, along with a hazard mapper tool that allows users to explore specific risk areas.
The public is also encouraged to take a survey to help guide updates to the County’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The draft CWPP is currently in development and will be ready for public comment in January 2025.
