Libby council adopts Western Montana regional hazard mitigation plan to preserve grant eligibility
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 2053 to adopt the Western Montana regional hazard mitigation plan, noting a 2023 date-stamp and minor formatting issues but confirming adoption so the city remains eligible for FEMA mitigation funding; staff will submit the adoption resolution to state and FEMA officials for final approval.
The Libby City Council voted May 1 to adopt the Western Montana regional hazard mitigation plan (Resolution 2053) and authorized submission of the adoption resolution to the Montana Division of Disaster and Emergency Services and FEMA Region 8 for final approval.
Council members discussed the plan’s 2023 date‑stamp and the absence of a visible cover page in the packet excerpt but said the plan is the regional product covering Libby and that adoption is a condition for future federal mitigation grant eligibility. The council moved and carried the resolution after brief discussion and the clerk will submit the required documents to state and federal officials.
Members noted that some local edits may be required to meet plan-approval requirements, but that those revisions will not require the council to readopt the plan and that the adoption secures the city’s eligibility for mitigation funding moving forward.
