Council adopts 2025–2030 hazard mitigation plan update
Summary
Council adopted the county hazard mitigation plan update for 2025–2030; staff said adoption helps position the city for faster access to state and federal recovery and mitigation funding.
The council adopted the Manitowoc County hazard mitigation plan update for 2025–2030, a periodic update that inventories risks, ranks hazards and sets mitigation strategies for the county and participating municipalities.
Staff and a county representative described the plan as covering a range of hazards "from tornadoes to diseases," ranking risks and recommending mitigation actions. Council members asked how the plan is communicated to the public; staff said the county maintains emergency‑management and regional planning postings and that the document is expected to be available on the county website and the Bay‑Lake Regional Planning Commission site after adoption.
Council discussion noted the practical benefit of having an up‑to‑date plan when seeking state or federal mitigation and recovery funding; one council member said adoption helps the city access funds faster. The council voted to adopt the plan by roll call.
Ending: Staff said they would confirm online posting locations and provide any additional explanation to council at a future meeting if requested.
