BoardFairbanks North Star Borough Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 2026-2030
The 2026 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update establishes coordinated, long-term strategies to reduce risk from natural hazards across the Fairbanks North Star Borough, City of Fairbanks, and City of North Pole. It primarily addresses wildfire, severe weather, flooding, seismic events, and ground failure (including cryosphere-related hazards). The plan aims to protect public safety, prevent loss of life, reduce damage to development, safeguard economic, cultural, and environmental assets, and enhance the resilience and continuity of infrastructure and essential services. Key strategies focus on critical infrastructure protection, improved emergency access, risk-informed land use, and inter-jurisdictional coordination.
