Mitigation Plan has been prepared for the RappahannockRapidan Region.

The plan is a federal requirement for full funding from the federal government in the event of a disaster.

The plan, which is revised every five years, is a broad vision for the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock to reduce or eliminate a longterm risk to human life and property from hazards.

The situations that are addressed in the plan include natural and human-caused hazards.

The plain looked at the most recent federally declared disasters, which in Rappahannock County happened in March, 2003 when the area was hit with a severe winter storm.

McCarthy also presented the revision of the area’s Solid Waste Management Plan for adoption.

This plan reports that Rappahannock County currently has a 17.6 percent recycling rate, which is lower than

94.0%
