UPDATE!!! You can find the 2022 Draft MJHMP here. Public comments are invited utilizing the online form here..

The Cochise County multi-jurisdictional planning team is in the process of revising the 2017 Cochise County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Town of Huachuca City, along with other county municipalities, is participating in the revision process. The updated plan is slated for local adoption soon. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires all local, county, tribal, and state governments to have a FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan to be eligible for federal disaster mitigation funds.

Once adopted, the Cochise County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan will ensure that Huachuca City, Cochise County and other participants remain eligible for those funds should the need arise. In addition the mitigation plan, will aid Cochise County, Huachuca City and other municipal partners by building public awareness, reducing vulnerability to natural disasters, and building partnerships.

In conjunction with the town-wide Independence Day Celebration on July 4th, 2022, the Huachuca City Police Department has announced the following road closures and/or controlled access:

– Gila Street from School Drive to Skyline Drive
– Skyline Drive from Gonzales Boulevard to Edgewood Street

Access to these roads will be strictly controlled from 3:00 pm thru 9:00 pm on the 4th. An Arizona Ranger or Police Officer will be stationed at each closed intersection to help direct you to your destination. Residents of Vista Del Norte will be allowed access to their residence from Skyline Dr. but residents of Edgewood and surrounding neighborhoods will need to access their homes from the north–from the bottom of the hill at the intersection of Santa Cruz & Skyline.

In addition, Keeline Park will be off limits to the public from 3 pm until approximately 9 pm.

The road closures and park closure are necessary in order to keep the public safe during the set up and execution of our annual fireworks display.
