Utah Department of Emergency Management and FEMA have approved the Plan. Each county, city, town, and school district should adopt the plan through its commission, council, or board before the current plan expires on May 18, 2022.

Every 2 years MAG will contact each jurisdiction to see how the mitigation strategies are progressing and if the plan needs to be modified. The results will be shared with the Executive Council. Look forward to learning about our progress in 2024 and 2026.
Every 5 years MAG will conduct a comprehensive update of the Plan, accounting for development, changes in vulnerability, and new mitigation capabilities. Typically, the same process that was used to create the original plan will be used to prepare the update.
An amendment can be initiated by the Executive Council, either at its own initiative or upon the recommendation of the Executive Director, Community Development Director, Mayor of an affected community or the State Department of Emergency Management. New requirements, information, needs, or errors in the original plan could trigger an amendment. All entities affected by an amendment (city, school district, water district, etc.) will be informed of the amendment and given an opportunity to comment. The proposed amendment will also be posted on MAG's website for public comment.
MAG will keep the plan on its website and feature the Risk maps and a place to comment on the Pre-Disaster Mitigation landing page. MAG will also display hazard maps at its annual Open House, where each city presents its long-range plan.
