Monona County board adopts 2026 Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Summary
The Monona County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted Resolution 2026‑08 on May 5, endorsing a five‑county 2026 Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan prepared to meet FEMA requirements and committing Monona County to the plan’s actions and five‑year update cycle.
The Monona County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2026‑08 on May 5, 2026, approving the 2026 Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan that Monona County prepared in coordination with Plymouth, Cherokee, Ida and Woodbury counties. Supervisor Bo Fox introduced the resolution and the board voted unanimously to adopt it.
The resolution affirms the regional plan was prepared to satisfy FEMA requirements at 44 C.F.R. §201.6 and states Monona County will implement the actions in the plan and update the plan at least once every five years. Patrick Prorok, the county’s Emergency Management Agency director, was present for the item and the board recorded no objections during the vote.
Why it matters: Hazard mitigation plans are the foundation for applying for FEMA hazard‑mitigation grants and for coordinating county and intercounty actions to reduce future disaster risk. Adoption signals Monona County’s formal commitment to the plan and helps preserve eligibility for federal mitigation funding.
What’s next: The resolution was adopted May 5, 2026, and the plan will be treated as Monona County policy guidance for mitigation actions and as a basis for future grant applications and project prioritization.
