Currently, we are participating with the County
Office of Emergency Management to update the municipality’s Hazard Mitigation
Plan. The original plan was adopted several years ago and needs to be
updated to maintain eligibility for certain federal grants as well as make sure
we are working together to reduce the risk from natural disasters and hazards
to the extent possible. If you are interested in learning more about this
project, please visit the project website at http://nj4hmp.com.
The website includes current information and also will allow you to
submit any comments or questions.
As part of the on-going update of the Gloucester
County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan, a Preliminary Municipal
Appendix is available for review that addresses natural hazard mitigation
issues for our community. The Preliminary Municipal Appendix can be downloaded
from http://nj4hmp.com by clicking
on “Gloucester County” and then clicking on “Deptford Township”. Comments can
be submitted via the “Contact Us” page on the website. However, please note
that comments must be submitted no later than Wednesday, December 17,
2014.
