Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan (RHMP)
In 2004, King County published its first Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan (RHMP) in partnership with participating cities, school, utility and fire districts, and emergency service providers. This plan was submitted to Washington State Emergency Management and reviewed and approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This effort was one of the steps in creating a community more resilient to natural, technological and societal hazard events and disasters. In December of 2009 King County completed the required five-year update of the RHMP (44 CFR Part 201). This approved plan allows King County to apply for Federal Hazard Mitigation and Flood Mitigation Assistance grants until December 2, 2014. |

| Over the next five years, King County is committed to following the plan's schedule for monitoring and updating the plan. Within this time period, the plan will once again be reviewed, revised as appropriate and resubmitted for approval for continued project grant eligibility beyond 2014. King County government is the lead agency for updating the Basic Plan, which is linked below in its current approved form. Individual agency and jurisdictional annexes are being updated separately, so contact your local emergency management agency if you wish to provide comments for the update of your area's annex to the RHMP.
