No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
Discussion:
Pat Gerdes, director for the Region 15 Emergency Management Agency has asked that we adopt The Hazard Mitigation Plan so that we would be eligible for pre-disaster and post-disaster federal funding if needed.
The mitigation plan was put in to place to lessen the effects of disasters by increasing the disaster resistance through planning and prioritization that would potentially reduce the loss of life and property.
The Board must formally adopt the plan and request approval of the plan at the Federal Level.
