County staff flags FEMA review and BRIC grant window as opportunity for hazard‑mitigation projects
Summary
Staff told commissioners Treasure County's hazard‑mitigation plan is under FEMA review and that BRIC and hazard-mitigation grant open rounds have deadlines soon; the county can adopt the plan now to be ready to apply or wait for FEMA’s final review.
County staff updated commissioners that the Treasure County hazard‑mitigation plan (originally developed in 2021) is currently under FEMA review in the Eastern Hazard Mitigation Region. Staff said FEMA has BRIC and hazard‑mitigation grant rounds open with upcoming deadlines and suggested the county can either adopt the plan now (while FEMA review is pending) or wait until FEMA completes its review and adopt afterward.
Staff recommended commissioners review the plan and consider agendaing a formal adoption at the next meeting if they intend to pursue grant funding this year. Commissioners acknowledged the need to inventory potential local projects to match grant priorities and to coordinate internally before making applications.
