Miami County adopts Homeland Security Region J hazard mitigation resolution
Summary
The Miami County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted a resolution joining the Homeland Security Region J Hazard Mitigation Plan, citing the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and committing the county to pre-disaster mitigation planning.
Miami County commissioners voted unanimously June 18 to adopt a regional resolution to participate in the Homeland Security Region J Hazard Mitigation Plan.
The action, moved by Commissioner Vickery and seconded by Commissioner Scruggs, affirms Miami County’s recognition of natural hazards that threaten people and property and the county’s intent to undertake mitigation measures. The resolution cites the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 as the federal framework emphasizing pre-disaster mitigation.
County staff presented the resolution on behalf of Sheriff Kelly, who had a scheduling conflict. The presenter said the resolution acknowledges Miami County’s role in regional mitigation planning and the need to reduce future harm through coordinated mitigation actions. No questions or objections were raised before the vote.
The measure passed on a unanimous voice vote; commissioners indicated all five present voted in favor. The resolution does not, in the meeting record, list specific mitigation projects or funding sources; staff will manage next steps consistent with the regional plan and any applicable federal or state guidelines.
