Yakima Valley Office of Emergency Management has finished the update of the 2015 Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. Adoption of this plan is necessary to qualify the City of Union Gap for Federal and State funding for hazard mitigation. The previous version of the plan was adopted by only Yakima County .The plan has been updated to reflect progress on mitigation measures made since the original version of the plan, and to address additional flood hazard areas that include the jurisdictions within Yakima County. This plan update will be approved by FEMA pending adoption of the jurisdictions covered.
Please contact KR Catlin if you have any questions or concerns regarding the resolution or plan, at oem@co.yakima.wa.us . This plan is not a regulatory plan, but one that makes the community eligible for federal funds after certain disasters.
