Summary
Newburgh has never had a hazard mitigation plan — a requirement for certain federal disaster aid. The council reviewed adopting the county's regional plan to check that box. Members flagged missing vulnerable populations (houseless, elderly) for the next cycle rather than delaying adoption now.
