Dare County has announced that a public meeting designed to give members of the community an opportunity to provide input on the Outer Banks Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan has been rescheduled for 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024 at the Avon Volunteer Fire Department, located at 40159 Harbor Road in Avon.

The meeting, which was originally scheduled to be held on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024, was previously postponed due to potentially hazardous weather impacts from Tropical Storm Debby.

The Outer Banks Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan update is currently underway, and Dare County and Currituck County – as well as Dare County incorporated communities – are seeking input from the public on changes in risks and vulnerabilities as well as new opportunities for mitigation.

This Outer Banks Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan update is required for all communities to maintain eligibility for pre- and post-disaster mitigation funding from FEMA. In addition, this effort will help local communities to understand their vulnerability and develop ways to proactively mitigate risk, helping to better protect people and property from the potential effects of natural and human-caused hazards.
