2016 Beaufort County Disaster Recovery Plan

Beaufort County Disaster Recovery is focused upon long-term recovery and redevelopment. Our primary goal is to meet the needs of the citizens of Beaufort County by meeting immediate health and safety needs of families, housing needs, safe roadways and other infrastructure necessary for employment, public safety and reestablishing the County as a place to live and work.  

The Beaufort County Recovery Ordinance offers an opportunity to go beyond restoring the community to rebuilding better and safer communities.   Recovery Plan policies offer these opportunities to rebuild and improve communities: implementing hazard mitigation projects to reduce hazards and recovery time, strengthening building codes, land use and zoning policy to facilitate recovery, improving transportation corridors, meeting affordable workforce housing needs, and developing new economic opportunities.
