Blue Earth County has completed an updated draft of its Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) and is again seeking public feedback. Like all Minnesota counties, Blue Earth County is vulnerable to a variety of natural hazards such as tornadoes, windstorms, severe winter storms, flooding, drought, and extreme temperatures, which can threaten the loss of life and property in the county. Planning for natural disasters minimizes the impact of events that can cause vast economic loss and personal hardship.

All county residents, as well as other interested agency or organizational stakeholders are strongly encouraged to review and offer feedback on the interactive website, PDF of the draft plan, and proposed local mitigation actions. The review and comment period is open for a period of 15 days through October 31, 2025. The public can access the plan using the following hyperlinks:
