Upland adopts Grant County's Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan; emergency official urges preparedness
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Resolution 7-2025 to endorse Grant County's five-year Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan; Grant County Emergency Management's Bob Jackson reminded residents that September is Emergency Preparedness Month and directed them to Ready.gov.
Bob Jackson of Grant County Emergency Management presented Resolution 7-2025 at the Upland Town Council meeting on Sept. 2 and told the council the county's Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan must be adopted every five years.
After the presentation, Council member Michael Harbin moved to approve Resolution 7-2025 and Council member Amy McCrea seconded; the council voted 5-0 to adopt the plan. Jackson reminded residents that September is Emergency Preparedness Month and said, "Go to Ready.gov for a list of emergency plans." The minutes record that Jackson made that statement during his presentation.
The adopted mitigation plan is intended to guide county and municipal actions to reduce risk from natural and man-made hazards; the town's resolution brings Upland into alignment with the countywide plan as required for some federal mitigation funding and planning processes. The minutes record that the plan must be readopted on a five-year cycle but do not list detailed plan contents or specific projects for Upland.
The council recorded no public comment on the resolution. The minutes do not specify next steps, such as required filings with state or federal agencies; the town clerk or emergency management office would typically complete any filings needed to document local adoption.
