Hazard Mitigation Plan work session pt 1

The Bulloch County Board of Commissioners held a Hazard Mitigation Plan work session on February 5, 2026, focused on hazard identification, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies for the county. The meeting involved qualitative analysis of priority hazards such as flooding, fire, and communication infrastructure vulnerabilities. Participants discussed challenges including lack of communication infrastructure, public preparedness, and the county's ability to keep up with population growth and infrastructure demands. While no specific procurement actions or contract awards were mentioned, the discussion highlighted the need for improved notification systems and communication tools as part of future mitigation efforts, which could lead to procurement opportunities. The session also included interactive polling to gather input on hazard priorities and vulnerabilities to inform the county’s hazard mitigation planning process.
