Fayette County adopts 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan
Summary
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted the Fayette County Mitigation Plan 2026 on April 13, 2026, formalizing countywide hazard-mitigation goals and meeting federal planning requirements tied to Stafford Act and related statutes.
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners on April 13 adopted the Fayette County Mitigation Plan 2026, a multi-hazard document the county says identifies goals and actions to reduce long-term risk to people and property.
The resolution cites federal authorities 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 as the legal framework for the plan. The measure was moved by Commissioner Donald L. Fleak, seconded by Commissioner Tony Anderson and approved by roll call—Commissioner James D. Garland, aye; Commissioner Tony Anderson, aye; Commissioner Donald L. Fleak, aye.
The resolution states, "Fayette County adopts the Fayette County Mitigation Plan 2026," and records the Board's commitment to pursuing the plan's mitigation goals. County staff will follow up on implementation steps identified in the plan; the resolution does not specify exact funding sources or a project-by-project timeline within the meeting minutes.
The adoption preserves the county's eligibility for certain federal mitigation and recovery programs that require a current approved plan. The Board did not set an implementation schedule during the meeting and no additional appropriations were tied directly to the resolution in the minutes.
