The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires that all local agencies have a local Hazard Mitigation Plan in place to be eligible for both pre and post disaster federal funding. A Hazard Mitigation Plan is a comprehensive document that identifies potential natural hazards, the extent of risk posed by these hazards, the vulnerabilities of the City of Boulder City to these hazards, and the actions the City may take to mitigate or reduce the potential impact of the hazards.
Clark County successfully created and implemented a Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2018, which the City Council of Boulder City adopted through Resolution No. 6863. To maintain eligibility for federal disaster assistance, the mitigation plan must be updated and resubmitted for state and federal approval every five years. The 2024 plan is an update of the 2018 plan that was approved by the State of Nevada and the Federal Management Agency (FEMA) and adopted by the City of Boulder City.
The 2024 mitigation plan identifies a broad range of mitigation action items, including assigned departments, timelines, and priorities. The mitigation action items are aimed at activities that will minimize or eliminate the impact of hazards to the community and its vital resources.
