Greene County adopts FEMA-funded all-hazards mitigation plan, Resolution 2025-13
Summary
The Greene County Commission adopted Resolution 2025-13 to approve an updated all-hazards mitigation plan required by state and federal authorities; the plan was produced under a FEMA grant and must now be submitted for state and FEMA review to preserve federal reimbursement eligibility.
The Greene County Commission on an unrecorded unanimous voice vote adopted Resolution 2025-13 to approve the county’s updated all-hazards mitigation plan and move the plan forward to state and federal review.
The plan was prepared under a FEMA grant the county accepted in April 2023. The presenter said the total project cost was $24,640, with a county match of $6,163, and that the county had 36 months to complete the update. The presenter said Greene County is the last county in the state to finish the update and that the county must submit the plan to the state by the fifteenth of next month to remain eligible for federal reimbursements after disasters.
The Emergency Management Agency presenter said the county contracted Christopher Burke, an engineering firm, to prepare the update and that, after the county submits the plan, the state will have 30 days to review it and then forward it to FEMA for a 45-day review. The presenter said the plan has been available for public viewing at the library and in the presenter’s office during business hours, and that the county may publish the plan on the county website once the site is built out.
Commission staff member Marvin prepared the draft resolution, which the commission moved to adopt after the presenter’s remarks. The motion was made and seconded on the record; the chair asked “All in favor?” and the commission approved the resolution.
Adopting the plan preserves Greene County’s eligibility for federal mitigation and reimbursement funds in the event of a declared disaster. The presenter noted that, after FEMA approves the plan, incorporated jurisdictions within the county will have one year to adopt it as well.
The commission expressed appreciation for staff work on the project and moved on to the next agenda item.
