Territory’s Hazard Mitigation and Resilience Plan open for public review

Residents have an opportunity to learn more about hazard mitigation within the territory, with the release of a new USVI Hazard Mitigation and Resilience Plan.

The document, presented to the St. John community during a town hall meeting Tuesday evening at the Nazareth Evangelical Lutheran Church, is now available for public review.

Every five years every U.S. state and territory has to publish an updated hazard mitigation plan to address how they will respond and rebuild from hazard events.
