The Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government, at the direction of Parish President Gordon E. Dove, and with the support of the Parish Council, is updating the parish’s Hazard Mitigation Plan. The purpose of the plan update is to identify and pursue preventative measures that will reduce future damages from natural hazards. The plan is required by FEMA to be updated every five years. This is the second public meeting in the evening to review the input in the previous six meetings.

The meeting will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 19, 2019, at the Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum for anyone interested in participating. We will review the new maps, goals and objectives, and repetitive loss and mitigation strategy, while prioritizing the possible activities to reduce risk. This is the last step in the process prior to drafting the action plan. 

The public is encouraged to attend this meeting and provide input and perspective to the planning process. A copy of the current Hazard Mitigation Plan and all other presentations, meeting notes, and materials are available on the website at tpcg.org/HMPU. A copy of the current Hazard Mitigation Plan and all other materials are also available in print at 8026 Main Street on the second floor for public review. 

There is also a form online to submit comments and up to 8MB of attachments.
