Preparing a plan requires the engagement of local governments, stakeholders, and residents in the planning process.
The Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) is collaborating with Jersey County to update the Jersey County Hazard Mitigation Plan. This page will be used as a one stop shop for information about the process. Please continue to visit this page for updates throughout the planning process.
