Commission renews participation in two Hazard Mitigation Grant programs to keep FEMA/state eligibility
Summary
Jackson County approved two five‑year hazard‑mitigation program renewals so the county may continue to apply for FEMA and state mitigation grants after major events; staff explained the renewals are required every five years.
Jackson County commissioners approved renewal of two Hazard Mitigation Grant Program participations that the county must update every five years to remain eligible for FEMA and state mitigation funds.
Staff explained these renewals allow the county to work with FEMA and the state emergency office when disasters occur and to apply for mitigation grants. The chair asked for a motion to approve and sign the hazard mitigation program renewals for the county’s emergency management funds; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: Maintaining program eligibility preserves the county’s ability to secure federal and state mitigation funding after disasters; without renewal the county could lose access to certain FEMA/state grant programs.
What’s next: Staff will file the renewed program participation paperwork and continue to coordinate with the state and FEMA on mitigation opportunities.
