Nash, Edgecombe, and Wilson Counties and incorporated communities are updating the N.E.W Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan update is required for all communities to maintain eligibility for pre-and post-disaster mitigation funding from FEMA. This effort will also help the counties and communities to identify hazard risks, understand vulnerability, and develop ways to proactively mitigate risk. Public input is vital to understanding local risks and mitigation opportunities.

Town of Sims has several representatives on this planning committee, including the Mayor/Town Administrator and Zoning Administrator. However, it is crucial that local business owners and residents give their input. Wilson Co is our first point of contact in a disaster situation.
