The Ocean County Office of Emergency Management is updating its Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Approved Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan (HMP). This HMP is required by state and federal agencies in order for communities in Ocean County to be eligible for certain types of state and federal disaster relief funds after a disaster occurs.

This website will be used throughout the planning process to post information, collect comments, announce meetings, and to post draft documents.
