Meeting to discuss county’s Hazard Mitigation Plan

In coordination with Milam County, the Town of Buckholts, and cities of Cameron, Milano, Rockdale, and Thorndale, are updating the Milam County Hazard Mitigation Plan. 

The Plan Update will address hazards that affect the area. The goal of the Plan Update is to minimize or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from known hazards through effective mitigation. 

Milam County will hold public meetings to gather public input for updating the Hazard Mitigation Plan. The purpose of the public meeting is to provide a project overview from H2O Partners, Inc., consultant to the project, and solicit information from citizens. 

Public input will help the project team to analyze potential hazards affecting residents and recommend possible actions to reduce their impact. 

Public meetings will be held on Jan. 30 at 5:30 p.m., March 19 at 5:30 p.m. and June 12 at 5:30 p.m. at the Milam County Annex, 806 North Crockett in
