A virtual public meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, October 30th at 5pm to learn about the plan update process, review the identified hazards, and provide your input to the planning team. Click here to register for the public meeting.

Nash, Edgecombe, and Wilson Counties and incorporated communities are updating the N.E.W Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan update is required for all communities to maintain eligibility for pre- and post-disaster mitigation funding from FEMA. This effort will also help the counties and communities to identify hazard risks, understand vulnerability, and develop ways to proactively mitigate risk. Public input is vital to understanding local risks and mitigation opportunities. On this website you can find information about past and upcoming planning meetings, draft documents, and a survey on hazard risks and vulnerabilities, as well as a way to provide comments to the planning team. Feel free to check back for updates and new information throughout the planning process.

Town of Sims has several representatives on this planning committee, including the Mayor/Town Administrator. However, it is crucial that local business owners and residents give their input. Wilson Co is our first point of contact in a disaster situation. If you cannot attend the meeting, please take this survey. click here
