2015 Eno-Haw Regional Mitigation Plan

The counties of Alamance, Durham, and Orange, in coordination with their participating municipal jurisdictions, prepared a regional hazard mitigation plan that covers the three-county "Eno-Haw" area. The Eno-Haw Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies local policies and actions to reduce risk from natural hazards such as floods, severe storms, wildfires, and winter weather. It builds upon the separate hazard mitigation plans initially prepared in each county including the 2010 Orange County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update. 

The final draft of the 2015 Eno-Haw Regional Mitigation Plan and additional information regarding the plan can be found on the Plans page.
