Summary
Camdenton board voted to adopt a resolution joining Camden County’s multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan, a step tied to FEMA shelter grant participation.
The Camdenton R-III School Board unanimously approved a resolution to participate in the Camden County multi-jurisdictional local hazard mitigation plan, a board member moved and a second was given; the motion passed on a voice vote.
The nut graf: Board members and staff said participation is a routine but necessary step to qualify the district for FEMA grant work tied to establishing designated shelters and to strengthen countywide preparedness for natural disasters.
Doctor Piper briefed the board on the county-led process, describing it as a multi-jurisdictional and multi-departmental effort to identify hazards, reduce risk and reduce the impacts of natural disasters on people and property in Camden County. Piper told the board that participation also helps the district remain eligible for FEMA shelter grant opportunities tied to mitigation planning.
The board moved to adopt the resolution to participate in the preparation of the Camden County plan, the motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote; no individual roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript. The board directed staff to proceed with participation and to coordinate with county officials on grant steps and shelter planning timelines.
Ending: Staff will follow up with county partners and return to the board if grant-specific obligations or matching-fund requirements arise.
