Cedar County Hazard Mitigation Plan Kick-off Meeting
10:00-12:00
08-23-2017
http://kaysinger.com/?ecwd_event=cedar-county-hazard-mitigation-plan-kick-off-meeting
As required by the State, we are beginning the planning process for Cedar County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). Every five years, the State requires each County to update their plan to mitigate natural hazards, such as flooding, tornadoes, wind, ice, etc. By including actions into this plan, such as storm shelters, safe rooms, or even culverts, funding through FEMA and SEMA becomes available to cities, counties, not-for-profits, and school districts to address these actions. However, any non-participating jurisdiction becomes ineligible to apply for FEMA funding. A good example is a school district that declines to participate, but later wishes to expand by building a safe room, but is ineligible for funding that could have covered the majority of the cost of their desired expansion. However, a participating jurisdiction recently built a new gym that also serves as a safe room, and approximately 75% of the cost was covered by FEMA.
The Kickoff Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 23^rd at 10:00 a.m. at the Cedar County Health Department, 807 Owen Mill Rd., Stockton, MO. The planning process is as follows:
- Kickoff Meeting (invite only jurisdictions: cities, counties, school districts)
  Determine planning area and resources
  Build the planning team
  Create an outreach strategy
  Review community capabilities
- Meeting #1 (invite potential stakeholders: businesses, organizations, agencies, utilities, etc.)
  Identify hazards & assess risks
  Conduct a risk assessment (survey communities)
- Meeting #2
  Risk assessment draft for committee review
- Meeting #3
  Develop a mitigation strategy
  Draft for committee review
  Draft for public review
Again, participation is crucial for each jurisdiction to be eligible for funding for pre- or post-hazard actions. Please respond at your earliest convenience with your availability for the meeting August 23^rd. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
