About the Unifour Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan

The counties of Alexander, Burke, Caldwell and Catawba, in coordination with their participating municipal jurisdictions, are finalizing a regional hazard mitigation plan that covers the four-county Unifour area. The Unifour Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies local policies and actions for reducing risk and future losses from natural hazards such as floods, severe storms, wildfires, and winter weather. It builds upon four separate hazard mitigation plans that were initially prepared by each county in coordination with their municipalities.
