Board reapproves FEMA-updated pre-disaster mitigation plan
Summary
Commissioners reapproved the county's pre-disaster mitigation plan after staff made one FEMA-requested tweak; the board voted to reauthorize the plan so the county remains eligible for related federal assistance.
The board reapproved Jones County's pre-disaster mitigation plan after staff implemented a change requested by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Staff reminded commissioners that the board had previously approved the year-long planning effort subject to FEMA approval; FEMA returned a single requested tweak and asked the county to reapprove the updated plan. A motion to adopt the pre-disaster mitigation plan with FEMA's updates was made, seconded and approved by the board.
Why it matters: FEMA approval of a county pre-disaster mitigation plan typically preserves eligibility for certain federal mitigation grants and assistance programs. Reapproval aligns the county plan with FEMA's requirements.
Next steps: The plan will remain on file with FEMA, and staff will proceed with any follow-up steps required by the agency.
