Committee refers Allegheny County hazard mitigation resolution and Emergency Operations Plan to Board
Summary
Mr. Rihn briefed the Public Safety Committee on the Allegheny County 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan and the township's Emergency Operations Plan; both were referred to the full Board for May with unanimous committee approval.
At the Public Safety Committee, Mr. Rihn explained that the township must complete an assessment every five years to participate in Allegheny County’s 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan. "An assessment of the Township’s hazards must take place every five years," he said, and the committee voted to forward the resolution to the full Board for the May meeting.
Mr. Rihn also reviewed the Emergency Operations Plan, noting the document recognizes administrative staff roles and that failing to adopt the plan could affect the Township's eligibility for emergency funding. Chief Sean Frank added that the resolution is adopted every two years out of practice. The committee unanimously recommended both items for Board consideration.
