2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

Posted on May 7, 2026

The New Castle County 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update will be considered for adoption at the Village Assembly meeting on May 18.

The 2026 Plan Update is intended to enable the County and its municipalities to effectively respond to hazards as they occur and reduce the potential risks of these hazards to the health, safety, and welfare of residents.

The overall goal for the Update is to continue to allow NCC municipalities to be eligible for a range of financial assistance following hazard events.

Future funding for projects will be contingent upon having each jurisdiction in NCC individually adopt the Plan after the County adopts its Plan. Jurisdictions that do not adopt the Plan will not be eligible for pre- and post-disaster mitigation funds.
