Commissioner: federal rules require Pine County hazard mitigation plan update every five years
Summary
Commissioner Ludwig reported on the first meeting for a county hazard mitigation plan required by the federal Disaster Mitigation Act; the plan will inventory local vulnerabilities, require public input, and be updated to retain FEMA mitigation funding eligibility.
Commissioner Ludwig briefed the board on the Pine County hazard mitigation plan process, which he described as driven by federal requirements and intended to preserve eligibility for FEMA mitigation funding.
"The federal government says you have to have a plan, and the plan has to be updated every 5 years," Ludwig said, adding that the plan must list assets and projects so jurisdictions can access FEMA dollars when disasters occur. Ludwig said the process will include additional meetings, surveys and public input before the plan is released for public review. No vote or budget allocation occurred at the meeting; Ludwig said he will provide updates as the planning process continues.
