North Myrtle Beach Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

ESP worked with the City of North Myrtle Beach to update its hazard mitigation plan, which is required in order for the city to remain eligible for certain types of federal hazard mitigation funding. The plan defines a blueprint the city can follow to become a more resilient community, includes a risk assessment to identify future hazard events that may impact the city, and provides guidance to help reduce damages from these events.

The plan also outlines steps the city wishes to take to mitigate future disasters. Additionally, the city’s hazard mitigation plan meets requirements for FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS), which helps reduce flood insurance premiums for North Myrtle Beach citizens who live in mapped flood zones.
