Board approves five‑year hazard mitigation plan update and community survey
Summary
The board approved the district’s hazard mitigation plan update and a community survey. Staff said the survey was adapted from Pierce County Emergency Management materials and will be distributed via ParentSquare and district channels; the survey will feed the five‑year plan that supports FEMA funding eligibility.
The board voted to approve the district’s hazard mitigation plan update and an associated community survey intended to gather public input for the five‑year plan.
Staff described the survey as adapted from Pierce‑County Emergency Management materials (provided to the district via White River) and said the community event and survey responses will be used to inform mitigation goals for the next five years. The presenter explained that having hazards identified in the plan can help when seeking FEMA funding for mitigation projects, though he did not describe the full FEMA application process.
Board members discussed survey length and possible overlap with a city survey; staff said they would coordinate with the city to avoid duplication where possible and that the survey would be distributed through ParentSquare, the district website and at community events. The board voted in favor; no vote tally by name was recorded in the transcript.
The motion to approve the hazard mitigation plan and community survey carried without recorded opposition; staff will proceed with distribution and continue to coordinate with Pierce County and the city on outreach.
