Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan
In 2004, ten jurisdictions worked together to develop the North King and South Snohomish Counties Regional Mitigation Plan. This plan is part of a comprehensive group of plans and procedures designed to minimize loss of life, reduce injuries and damage during a disaster, expedite emergency response, and simplify recovery.
Lake Forest Park is in the process of annexing to the plan. This process includes a 30 day comment period on the draft plan for Lake Forest Park followed by a public hearing and City Council adoption. The City Council will have the plan on its schedule for December 13, 2007. Residents are encouraged to make comments on the plan.
