Presentation targets natural hazards

Kendall County and Boerne continue to develop a new hazardous mitigation plan, and a presentation late last month identified the 12 natural hazards the county faces.

A hazard mitigation plan is designed to identify natural disaster risks that are common to an area and identify solutions to reduce loss of life and property during one those natural disasters. Having a hazard mitigation plan allows the county and city to apply for several statewide and national grants when a disaster declaration is issued.

Two representatives from H20 Partners, Laura Haverlah and Rhonda Murphy, identified the natural disasters most likely to impact Kendall County.
