The 2020 Progress Report for plan implementation is <br />available at Kittitas County's Hazard Mitigation Website <br />(htt s: www.co.kittitas.wa.us ublic-works hazard-miti ation- lan ). <br />The progress report reveals that many activities are being advanced through Kittitas County's <br />normal work plan and that significant progress was made, even considering disruptions, <br />uncertainty, and re -allocation of resources required due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The report <br />also highlights the importance of the Kittitas County Flood Control Zone District and partner <br />organizations and initiatives, such as the Kittitas County Conservation District, the Kittitas Fire <br />Adapted Communities Coalition and Yakima Basin Integrated Plan, in advancing the Hazard <br />Mitigation Plan. <br />As Kittitas County works to make our community more resilient to natural disasters, we also call <br />on our residents to prepare your home and family for a disaster.
