SJC MULTI JURISDICTIONAL ALL HAZARDS MITIGATION PLAN

San Juan County, the Cities of Aztec, Bloomfield, and Farmington, and the Town of Kirtland, have partnered to review and update the San Juan County Multi Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan.

This plan is designed to identify natural hazards that are most common in the communities participating in the plan, and allow each community to determine mitigation actions to prevent the severity of the hazard, prepare for the hazard, and when possible, apply for federal funding to assist in completion of mitigation projects.

The Mitigation Plan is a living document, but is required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to be updated every five years.

The plan has currently been approved pending community adoption by FEMA.  Once adopted by the participating community partners, the plan will be given final approval by FEMA.

San Juan County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan

***Plan is in process of update*** 

San Juan County, New Mexico is threatened by a number of different natural hazards. These hazards endanger the health, safety, and welfare of the County’s population; jeopardize its economic vitality; and imperil the quality of its environment.

To avoid or minimize vulnerability to these hazards, the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (NMDHSEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided support to San Juan County to undertake a hazard mitigation planning process.

The resulting Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan for San Juan County, New Mexico identifies and profiles those hazards that can affect San Juan County, assesses the County’s vulnerability to these hazards, and identifies alternative mitigation actions.

The Plan also includes an implementation strategy for preferred mitigation actions as selected and prioritized by a multi-jurisdictional community based planning team.

Notice: This document contains information pertaining to the deployment, mobilization, and tactical operations of San Juan County in response to emergencies. It is exempt from public disclosure under New Mexico state law.
