Jefferson County – City of Port Townsend All Hazard Mitigation Plan (Rev. 2016)
Vs 6 xviii May 2017
How to Use This Plan
Each section of the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan provides information to assist local governmental
jurisdictions and agencies, local Indian Tribes, and the citizens of Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend in understanding the community in which we live and work and the hazard related issues facing government, citizens, businesses, and the environment. Combined, the various sections of this plan work together to create a document that guides the mission to reduce vulnerability and minimize loss from future natural hazard events.
The structure of this plan enables people to use only that portion of the plan that is of interest to them and/or pertains to their needs. It also allows local government to review and update specific sections as new data becomes available. New data can be easily incorporated, resulting in a natural hazards mitigation plan that
remains current and relevant to the needs of the citizens of Jefferson County.
The Jefferson County – City of Port Townsend Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan is organized into eleven sections: Preamble: contains the Table of Contents, Acknowledgements, Distribution List, and the Promulgation List for the document.

Executive Summary contains a summary of the plan and a five-year action plan matrix.
Section I contains the introduction and an overview of the planning process.
Section II contains information regarding the various natural and man-made hazards that can affect Jefferson County. This section is also known as the Hazard Identification & Vulnerability Analysis (HIVA).
Section III contains multi-jurisdictional community profile information as well as information regarding multi-jurisdiction/multi-hazard mitigation measures and a listing of multi-jurisdictional mitigation strategies and projects suggested by stakeholders and citizens as part of the public process associated with the development of this plan.
Section IV contains jurisdiction-specific and special purpose district specific information as well as vulnerability assessment information for each jurisdiction and special purpose district that has participated
in the hazard mitigation planning process.
