Summary
The Board unanimously adopted Resolution 1096-2026 to readopt the Chester County Hazard Mitigation Plan, making the Township eligible for FEMA hazard mitigation funding under the county plan update.
Township Manager Chris Heleniak told the Board the county must update and readopt its hazard mitigation plan every five years and that the Township’s adoption is required to remain eligible for federal hazard mitigation funding through FEMA. "By adopting this plan, the Township and county are eligible for federal hazard mitigation funding from FEMA," Heleniak said.
Vice-Chair Maddy Carlson moved to approve Resolution 1096-2026 and Supervisor Jill Green seconded; Chair Kevin R. Kuhn called the vote and the motion carried with all in favor. The resolution formalizes the Township’s participation in the county mitigation strategy and preserves eligibility for federal mitigation grant programs tied to the county plan update.
