What Is This Plan?
Every five years, Boulder County updates its Hazard Mitigation Plan, a roadmap for reducing damage from disasters before they happen.
This plan identifies:
- The biggest risks facing our community from natural hazards
- The neighborhoods and systems most vulnerable
- Practical solutions that can reduce future losses
Why This Matters To You
This update will help influence:
- Where risk-reduction projects are funded
- How neighborhoods are protected
- How we prepare for future disasters
What This Plan Doesn't Do
This plan does not:
- Create new taxes

- Require property upgrades
- Directly change insurance rates
It is about planning smarter and investing wisely before the next disaster occurs.
