Union County Emergency Services is updating the County’s 2021 Multi-Jurisdictional All-Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP), which expires in 2026.

This HMP is required by state and federal agencies in order for communities in Union County to be eligible for certain types of state and federal disaster relief funds after a disaster occurs. Springfield and other Union County towns are covered by the County plan.

The Union County Board of County Commissioners reminds residents, businesses, and community stakeholders to join us today for the final public meeting regarding the County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) update. The virtual meeting will take place on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.

During the meeting, participants will receive a high-level overview of the draft 2026 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback prior to final submission.
