Council adopts lowcountry hazard mitigation updates and 5‑year public information program
Summary
Council received updates to the regional (Lowcountry) 2020 Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan, the repetitive-loss area analysis, and unanimously adopted a five‑year Program for Public Information (PPI) update required by FEMA and the Community Rating System.
The Town Council unanimously approved staff recommendations to accept updates to the 2020 Lowcountry Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan, the repetitive‑loss area analysis and to adopt the town’s five‑year Program for Public Information (PPI), a FEMA Community Rating System requirement.
Assistant Town staff told council the Lowcountry plan now covers a multi‑county area and the town’s participation keeps Hilton Head Island eligible for certain FEMA programs and flood‑insurance credits. The Community Services and Public Safety committee reviewed the materials and recommended unanimous approval. Council voted 7–0 to adopt the PPI resolution and accept the plan updates; staff said they will continue routine reporting and compliance activities tied to hazard mitigation and repetitive‑loss monitoring.
