Emergency Management
2025 Hazard Mitigation Plan UpdateSkagit County is in the process of updating the multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan helps us understand what dangers (like floods or earthquakes) could affect our community and what we can do to make things safer. The Plan Update is a joint effort between Skagit County, local and Tribal governments, and community partners including Dike and Drainage Districts, Skagit Utility District and Fire Districts. We each have our own section in the plan to describe how hazards impact us differently, and one section to describe the County and our hazards in general. We want to hear from you! The survey asks what you think about the dangers in your area and how we might protect people and property from them. Your answers will help us work better with others, plan ahead, and keep people in Skagit County safer. They will also help us add local ideas to our safety plan. Complete the survey today to ensure your voice gets heard! The survey ends July 31, 2025. Upcoming Events:Check back here for meeting notifications and more information. Open Houses are being scheduled around the County for mid-late August with our planning partners. Currently Scheduled
Timeline:The County and our planning partners are updating the Plan with additional hazards and changes over the last five years. The goal is to have the draft plan submitted to WA Emergency Management Division by early September.
