NEWCASTLE, OK — The City of Newcastle is urging residents to engage in the vital process of updating its Hazard Mitigation Plan by participating in a comprehensive community survey. The city, under the guidance of Emergency Management Director Donnie Sullins, emphasizes the importance of this initiative in safeguarding the community against potential hazards.

"Hazard mitigation is essential not only for the safety of our community but also for the resilience of our environment and infrastructure," stated Donnie Sullins. "By taking part in this survey, residents contribute directly to strategies that can significantly reduce risks of disaster."
