2025 City of Cordova Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
Our community is launching an effort known as the 2025 City of Cordova Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update. Over the next few months, we will work with a consultant to assess risks posed by natural disasters and other hazards and develop strategies to protect life and property in Cordova from future hazard events.
Hazards addressed in our plan include the following: avalanche, climate change, drought, earthquake, erosion, flooding, hazardous materials, landslide, severe weather, technological, tsunami, volcano, and wildland fire.
This will serve as an update to the FEMA-approved 2018 City of Cordova Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Once our updated plan is completed and approved by FEMA, our community will be eligible again to apply for and receive certain types of nonemergency disaster assistance, including funding for mitigation projects identified in our plan.

To learn more about our plan, please contact Kevin Johnson, Public Works Director at (907) 424- 6220.
We will provide an update once a draft plan is developed.
