Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
-
The City of Peabody is currently working on updating our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP).
The LHMP is a critical document in preparing the City for natural disasters. An updated Hazard Mitigation plan assists the City in reducing disaster damage and preventing the loss of life and property. The LHMP prioritizes a community supported mitigation strategy that represents the current needs and values of the community.
An updated LHMP builds and supports climate resilience, develops risk-informed decision making, and is the foundation for making critical investments in hazard mitigation.
