Long Prairie council adopts 2025 Todd County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Summary
The Long Prairie City Council unanimously adopted the 2025 Todd County Hazard Mitigation Plan on Feb. 11, making the city eligible to apply for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants and committing the city to the plan27s risk-reduction goals.
The Long Prairie City Council voted unanimously Feb. 11 to adopt the 2025 Todd County Hazard Mitigation Plan, a step staff said will make the city eligible for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants.
The resolution cites federal statutes including the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the National Dam Safety Program Act and states that the plan "identifies mitigation goals and actions to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property" within Long Prairie. Council Member Clint Krueger moved the measure; Council Member Lilah Gripne seconded the motion.
Council members did not debate amendments to the resolution during the meeting. Adoption means Long Prairie will be listed among jurisdictions eligible to apply for FEMA mitigation funding tied to the county plan.
The resolution was recorded as adopted and signed by Mayor James Kreemer and City Administrator/Clerk Candace Bruder. The formal vote was recorded as unanimous with Mayor Kreemer and Council Members Krueger, Gripne, Perez and Schroeder voting yes.
Next steps: with city adoption complete, officials told the council that Todd County will pursue FEMA approval of the multi-jurisdiction plan; once FEMA approves the plan, Long Prairie may apply for program grants that help pay for hazard-reduction projects.
