Eureka County — Public Review of the 2026 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan

Review period: Monday, April 27, 2026 – Monday, May 25, 2026, 5:00 p.m.

Adoption hearing: Eureka County Board of Commissioners, Thursday, June 18th, 2026

What is the plan?

Eureka County, White Pine County, and the Ely Shoshone Tribe jointly prepare a Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) every five years. The plan has two purposes:

•     Identify the natural and human-caused hazards that most affect our communities.

•     Set priorities for the mitigation actions we will take to reduce future losses of life, property, and critical infrastructure.

Why is the plan required?

A FEMA-approved and locally adopted plan is a legal prerequisite for:

•     Continued eligibility for federal mitigation grant funding — Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA).

•     Federal Public Assistance dollars that rebuild public infrastructure after a presidentially declared disaster.
