At the intersection of Hwy 13 & 64

August 17th, 2026
12:00pm to 1:00pm

Taylor County is currently updating its countywide All-Hazards Mitigation Plan. The purpose of this All-Hazard Mitigation Plan is to (1) assist the county in identifying and reducing its risk from natural and human-caused hazards; (2) identify actions that can be taken to prevent damage to property and loss of life, (3) and prioritize funding for mitigation efforts. This project is being funded by a grant allocated by the Wisconsin Emergency Management Agency and funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Taylor County Emergency Management Department is holding a public open house on August 17th from 12:00pm to 1:00pm at the Community Building at the Fairgrounds at the intersection of Hwy 13 & 64. The purpose of the open house is to discuss the update of the Hazard Mitigation Plan, describe the work completed to date, and highlight some of the hazards that could present the greatest risks to the county. Members of the planning committee will be available to answer questions and listen to community and stakeholder comments.
