Emergency Managers Seek Input on Hazard Mitigation

The Gwinnett County Office of Emergency Management is seeking public input on a hazard mitigation plan.

This office, a unit of the Gwinnett County Police Department, handles a variety of tasks in the county.   

These tasks involve planning for emergencies and disasters, responding to incidents as a coordinating agency, directing mitigation against hazards, and assisting Gwinnett County government and citizens in recovery after an incident.

The Office of Emergency Management will conduct a public meeting at 3 p.m. Monday, May 20, at the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) at 800 Hi Hope Road in Lawrenceville. Attendees will receive an overview of the hazard mitigation planning process and will have the opportunity to offer recommendations.

The final plan will be submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for approval.
