The city began developing the Hazard Mitigation Plan in the summer, starting with a risk assessment that evaluated localized vulnerabilities in Bellevue and the potential impacts of these natural hazards. Input gathered from the open house will help tailor the plan to address specific needs of the Bellevue community. The open house features a short survey, a mapping exercise and a space to ask questions. The city will work to draft the HMP once the online open house is complete. After the draft plan is prepared, the community will have the opportunity to review and comment on it during a two-week period in early 2025.
The final plan may be adopted by the City Council next spring. To learn more about the Hazard Mitigation Plan and other ways the city prepares for disasters and emergencies, visit the Office of Emergency Management.
