Adams County is committed to leading in the mitigation and adaptation of natural and man-made hazards, elevating environmental justice, and fighting against the disparate negative impacts of climate, disaster, and pathological risk of historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities across the county. To this end, the county is building upon previous work to identify community vulnerabilities and create policies, strategies, and programs to enhance community capacity to withstand, recover, and adapt to evolving risks through the development and implementation of the Adams County Long-Term Recovery and Resiliency Strategic Plan. To ensure this plan accurately reflects the needs, concerns, and priorities of our residents, businesses, partners, and visitors alike, Adams County invites you to participate in a series of upcoming community workshops to hear your perspectives and gather critical input into the recovery and resiliency needs and opportunities of your community.
