All Hazards Mitigation Plan

The Grays Harbor County All Hazards Mitigation Plan 2005-2010 guides county government in how to work with citizens, other local government and the private sector in reducing the threat of disaster events to life and property before they happen. The plan establishes a series of goals, objectives and mitigation actions for the County to accomplish.

Mitigation actions are taken to reduce loss of life and property damage due to disasters.

CEMP

DEM coordinates the development of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) that details the disaster responsibilities of agencies and organizations. The CEMP is regulated by state law and is written to ensure a coordinated emergency response among all jurisdictions.

Municipal plans are closely coordinated with the CEMP. The CEMP is written to provide consistency with state and federal plans. The CEMP includes functional plans called Emergency Support Function (ESF) Plans. See ESF Plan Details.
