Brookville adopts Montgomery County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan to preserve FEMA funding eligibility
Summary
City council formally adopted the 2024 Montgomery County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan, a condition the city manager said is required to retain eligibility for future FEMA hazard mitigation grants.
The Brookville City Council voted Jan. 7 to adopt the 2024 Montgomery County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. City Manager Jack Prince told the council that “a formal adoption of this plan by each jurisdiction is required to remain eligible for future hazard mitigation funding offered by FEMA.”
The nut graf: Adopting the countywide plan is an administrative step that keeps Brookville eligible to apply for federal hazard mitigation grants administered by FEMA; staff circulated the plan to council members before the meeting.
City staff noted the plan reflects work completed throughout 2024; the council moved and approved the resolution by voice vote. No substantive conditions or amendments to the county plan were proposed at the meeting.
Council members asked no follow-up questions during the motion; the city manager and staff will file the local adoption paperwork with county officials and FEMA as required.
The adoption does not immediately commit city funds; it preserves Brookville’s eligibility for competitive mitigation grants that may require separate council action if accepted.
