Draft of the 2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan for the county:

Rockdale County Emergency Management has published the draft of the 2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan for the county. We invite all citizens, stakeholders, and affiliates of Rockdale County to read this plan and provide feedback in the comment section below. We will also be holding a public feedback meeting on August 21st to gather additional feedback. Please follow our Facebook and the County Calendar for a specific time and location.

This Hazard Mitigation Plan is completed by the county every 5 years, and analyzes our main risks, threats, and hazards in the community. Rockdale County EMA creates a planning committee out of local public safety agencies and department stakeholders to help us identify the greatest hazards in the county. We then discuss how these hazards can be mitigated, and use them to create additional response plans within the county. Please feel free to provide comments, feedback, or ask questions.
