County moves to adopt 2026 multi-hazard mitigation plan update; FEMA review pending
Summary
Staff briefed the commissioners on the five-year update to Noble County's multi-hazard mitigation plan, paid for primarily by grant funds with a local match; the draft has been submitted to the state and FEMA and will return for adoption after final review.
Noble County staff presented a five-year update to the county's multi-hazard mitigation plan, prepared by a third-party vendor with grant funding and a local match. The update incorporated recent census and weather data, including experience from recent tornadoes and flood events.
Staff said the third-party work and public-review period were completed, with only minor public comments returned. The final draft has been submitted to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and FEMA for review; staff explained that state or FEMA changes are typically minor. Commissioners were asked to review the draft in advance and to consider formal adoption once state review is complete.
Next steps: staff will send the draft to interested commissioners for review and return with an adoption resolution after state and FEMA reviews are complete. Member jurisdictions and incorporated communities are expected to adopt companion resolutions once the county finalizes the plan.
