Gladstone, IL-Henderson County is collaborating with the University of Illinois Extension and the Illinois State Water Survey to update the Henderson County All Hazards Mitigation Plan. The Hazard Mitigation Planning Team is asking anyone residing in Henderson County to participate in reviewing the Henderson County All Hazards Mitigation Plan Update. The Hazard Mitigation Plan is a federally required document that identifies natural and human- and technology-caused hazards, evaluates community vulnerability, and outlines long-term strategies to reduce future disaster impacts. Community feedback is a vital part of this process.
The Draft version of the Henderson County All Hazards Mitigation Plan Update is available and accepting comments until July 31, 2026. The plan is available online on the planning process website.
Anonymous feedback and comments may be submitted.
Or email comments to mitigation@isws.illinois.edu.
The comment period will remain open until July 31, 2026.
