Burleigh County and the City of Bismarck are seeking community input on updating their mitigation plan to enhance safety from potential hazards and disasters. The current plans, approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, require an update every five years.

Residents are encouraged to participate by completing a brief survey by April 10th. The aim is to assess local hazards and develop strategies to mitigate their impact.

Mitigation involves actions taken before incidents occur to reduce loss of life and property. Its societal benefits include creating safer communities, enabling faster recovery from disasters, and lessening financial impacts on individuals and communities.

The initiative highlights the importance of public involvement in shaping effective mitigation strategies for Burleigh County and Bismarck.
