City of Nacogdoches and Nacogdoches County Set to Host Public Meetings to Discuss Hazard Mitigation Action Plan
The County and City of Nacogdoches are updating the Nacogdoches County and City of Nacogdoches Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HMAP). The Plan will address natural hazards that affect the area. The goal of the Plan is to minimize or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from known hazards through effective mitigation.
The County and City will hold a series of public meetings throughout the planning area to gather public input for their Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. The purpose of each public meeting is to provide a project overview from H2O Partners, Inc., consultant to the project, and solicit information from the community. Public input will help the project team analyze potential hazards affecting residents and recommend possible actions to reduce their impact. We wanted to invite you to this meeting and spread the word to other residents within the community.
The County and City of Nacogdoches will hold the first public meeting on April 16, 2026. Additional information regarding this public meeting can be viewed below and within the attached public flyer.
