The Keweenaw County Office of Emergency Measures and the Western Upper Peninsula Planning and Development Region (WUPPDR) have recently made updates to the Keweenaw County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Hazard mitigation is any action taken before, during or after a disaster to eliminate or reduce the risk to human life and property from natural, technological, or human-related hazards. The plan’s purpose is to identify hazard risks throughout the county and to become better prepared for them.

A formal public hearing will also be held at a County Board meeting to be announced.
