Dear Mr. Perez: 
 
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed its review of the Maricopa County 
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 2021 and has determined that this plan is eligible for final 
approval pending its adoption by Maricopa County and all participating jurisdictions.  Please see the 
enclosed list of approvable pending adoption jurisdictions.  
 
Formal adoption documentation must be submitted to FEMA Region 9 by at least one participating 
jurisdiction within one calendar year of the date of this letter, or the entire plan must be updated and 
resubmitted for review.  FEMA will approve the plan upon receipt of the documentation of formal 
adoption.   
 
Once the plan is approved, each participating jurisdiction must adopt the plan within five calendar years 
of the date of the approval.  The adoption of the plan by each jurisdiction ensures that jurisdiction’s 
continued eligibility for funding under FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs. All 
requests for funding, however, will be evaluated individually according to the specific eligibility, and 
other requirements of the particular program under which applications are submitted.    
 
If you have any questions regarding the planning or review processes, please contact the FEMA Region 
IX Hazard Mitigation Planning Team at fema-r9-mitigation-planning@fema.dhs.gov.  
 
Sincerely,
