Giles County to Host Community Forum on Hazard Mitigation Strategy

The Giles County Office of Emergency Management (GCOEM) is set to host an open public meeting on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at 1 p.m. This gathering aims to further the development of the County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan. Attendees can join the meeting at the EMA Office, located at 3750 Columbia Highway in Pulaski.

In preparation for this meeting, a draft of the plan has been made accessible for public review and feedback at the GCOEM until August 31. Residents, along with local businesses, are strongly encouraged to participate in an online community survey, which can be found on the Giles County Emergency Services Facebook page. This survey is designed to assist in shaping the planning initiatives.

The initiative is spearheaded by the county’s Steering and Planning Committee, which is dedicated to identifying and evaluating potential hazards. The committee’s responsibilities include establishing mitigation goals, providing necessary updates, and prioritizing actions aimed at minimizing loss of life and property.
