Hampton Council adopts 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan to preserve disaster grant eligibility
Summary
Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 1127 approving the township's updated five‑year Hazard Mitigation Plan, which identifies local threats, critical facilities and at‑risk populations and preserves eligibility for disaster grants and funding.
Hampton Township Council on May 27 unanimously adopted Resolution No. 1127 approving the township’s updated 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Manager Ryan Jeroski summarized the plan as the routine five‑year update that identifies types of hazards the township faces, critical facilities that could be affected and populations that are most vulnerable. He said adoption preserves the township’s eligibility for state and federal disaster grants.
Why it matters: The plan is a prerequisite for accessing mitigation funding after a disaster and guides priorities for strengthening infrastructure and protecting vulnerable residents. Controller J. Speakman later noted capital spending pressures this year but did not tie specific mitigation projects to the 2026 budget.
Council approved the resolution on a motion by Mr. Sciulli, seconded by Mr. Midgley, with a roll call vote recorded as unanimously in favor.
The adoption places the plan on the record; Council did not designate specific projects during the meeting. The next procedural step is incorporation of the plan into grant applications and eligibility processes when future hazards arise.
