Welcome to the Rockland County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) Website. This website provides project updates, resources, and links to hazard mitigation in support of the County’s HMP.
The goal of the project is to save lives and property through the reduction of hazard vulnerability for Rockland County and its municipalities. During the course of this planning project, county and local leaders and the community will work in tandem to identify risks, assess capabilities, and formulate a strategy to reduce disaster vulnerability.
