Dubois County adopts multi-hazard mitigation plan to preserve grant eligibility
Summary
The Dubois County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution 2024-07 on May 6, approving a county Multi‑Hazard Mitigation Plan; Emergency Management will submit the plan to state and federal agencies to maintain eligibility for mitigation grants.
The Dubois County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution 2024-07 on May 6, 2024, formally approving the county’s Multi‑Hazard Mitigation Plan.
EMA Director Tammy Humbert and Nathan Held of the Indiana 15 Regional Planning Commission presented the plan and its adoption was described as necessary to qualify for future mitigation grant funding. Humbert said the Emergency Management Agency will submit the adopted plan to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for final review and approval.
The resolution notes that adopting a mitigation plan reduces risk to people and property and is a prerequisite for some state and federal grants for hazard mitigation projects. Commissioners voted to approve the resolution by motion, with no recorded opposition.
Next steps include the formal submission to the state and FEMA for final acceptance; Humbert indicated she would handle that submission on behalf of participating local units of government.
