Saltville Council adopts Mount Rogers hazard mitigation plan update
Summary
The Town Council unanimously adopted the Mount Rogers Planning District Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2025, a state-required multi-hazard planning document intended to identify mitigation goals and actions to reduce long-term risk to people and property.
At its May 13 meeting, the Saltville Town Council voted to adopt the Mount Rogers Planning District Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2025, a regional hazard-mitigation plan that the town said is required by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Councilmember David C. Buchanan moved to adopt the plan; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Ryan Comer and passed by roll call with councilmembers recorded as 'Aye.' The resolution and the full plan were included in council packets prior to the vote. The plan is intended to identify mitigation goals and recommended actions to lower long-term risk from natural hazards in the region.
The adopted resolution included language that subsequent plan updates will require separate adoption resolutions and that content specific to Saltville may be revised to meet state approval requirements. The adoption demonstrates the town's formal commitment to the plan's mitigation goals and maintains the town’s eligibility for certain federal and state mitigation-related funding programs.
