Public Notice: The UNC System Eastern Campuses Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan update is underway

This plan covers the main campuses of the following UNC System schools: East Carolina University, Elizabeth City State University, Fayetteville State University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina School of Science and Math, North Carolina State University, UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Pembroke, and UNC-Wilmington. This plan update is required for the participating schools to maintain eligibility for pre- and post-disaster mitigation funding from FEMA. The plan will also help us to identify hazard risks, understand vulnerability, and develop ways to proactively reduce risk on our campuses.

To kick off the planning process, two virtual public meetings will be held to discuss the plan update process, review the identified hazards, and gather feedback from the public. We're interested in your experiences with past hazards and your ideas for reducing risk. These public meeting sessions will be held on the following dates and times:

• Monday, September 29^th at 1pm: Register Here
• Tuesday, September 30^th at 5pm: Register Here

If you can't attend a meeting but still want to contribute to the planning process, we encourage you to complete the public survey (see website link or QR code).

To learn more about the planning process and to register to attend one of these meetings, visit https://www.NCEastCampusHMP.com. On this site you will find information about upcoming and past Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee meetings and public meetings, a link for the public survey, draft documents, and other mitigation planning resources.
