Multi-Jurisdictional All-Hazards Mitigation Plan Update
OCEAN COUNTY PRESS RELEASE
Berkeley Township – The Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, Office of Emergency Management, is updating its Hazard Mitigation Plan. Hazard mitigation planning identifies risks and vulnerabilities associated with natural disasters and develops long-term strategies for protecting people and property from future hazard events.

- Where are the hazards experienced?
- What are your biggest concerns?
- What are your recommendations for hazard mitigation?
