Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Services

Glynn County, Georgia is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide professional services for the update and development of the County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). The updated plan will serve as a multi-jurisdictional planning document intended to identify hazards, assess risks and vulnerabilities, and develop practical mitigation strategies that reduce long-term impacts to residents, infrastructure, critical facilities, businesses, and government operations. The project must comply with all applicable FEMA and Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS) requirements to maintain eligibility for future hazard mitigation funding opportunities. The County is seeking a consultant with demonstrated experience in hazard mitigation planning, coastal resilience, GIS-based risk analysis, stakeholder coordination, and FEMA plan approval processes. Glynn County’s coastal environment presents unique challenges associated with hurricanes, storm surge, flooding, evacuation route resilience, critical infrastructure protection, hazardous materials transportation, and industrial and maritime-related hazards. The selected consultant will work closely with County staff, municipalities, infrastructure partners, and community stakeholders to develop a comprehensive, operationally focused mitigation strategy tailored to the needs of Glynn County and participating jurisdictions. The County intends for this project to go beyond minimum compliance standards and produce a practical, implementable planning document that supports long-term resilience, infrastructure protection, continuity planning, and future mitigation project development. The selected consultant will be expected to facilitate stakeholder engagement, complete a comprehensive Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), support FEMA and GEMA/HS review and approval processes, and deliver all required planning documents prior to the expiration of the County’s current Hazard Mitigation Plan on August 28, 2029.
