Dunklin County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Kick-Off

Dunklin County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

7/11/2023

To: Dunklin County representatives from the County, cities, school districts, private-non-profit entities, business partners, academic institutions, and other local, state, and federal agencies acting in or serving New Madrid County

 

Subject: Dunklin County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

 

On behalf of the Dunklin County Commission, you are invited to the Kick-Off Meeting to update the county’s Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.  The existing plan, approved by FEMA five years ago, was developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. To maintain eligibility for certain FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants, the Act requires jurisdictions to develop a plan to assess their risks to hazards and identify actions that can be taken to reduce future losses.  The law requires Plans to be updated every five years; your participation is a key to this process. 

 

Dunklin County Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

Kickoff Meeting: Monday, July 24, 2023

Meeting Time:  10 am

Place:  County Commission Meeting Chambers

Address:  Dunklin County Courthouse, 100 Courthouse Ste 200, Kennett, MO  63857

 

This planning process is heavily dependent on the participation of representatives from local government agencies and departments, the public, and other stakeholder groups. A Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee will be formed to support this project and will include representatives from the County, cities, school districts, private-non-profit entities, business partners, academic institutions, and other local, state, and federal agencies acting in or serving Dunklin County.

 

At the kickoff meeting, we will discuss the benefits of updating the plan, the project schedule, and the hazards that affect Dunklin County, such as tornadoes, floods, extreme temperatures, severe winter weather, and more.  Dunklin County requests your assistance in forwarding this invitation to others in your jurisdiction that might participate. 

  

The Bootheel Regional Planning Commission is responsible for developing this plan. Community Development Specialists Christy LeGrand and Christine Young (573-614-5178, ext.106) are coordinating this effort. We need your participation to successfully complete this project and ensure your organization is eligible for FEMA hazard mitigation assistance funding. Cities, counties, and school districts that do not participate in an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan are NOT eligible to apply for FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants. 

 

Please confirm your attendance or provide contact information for your designated alternate by responding to Christy LeGrand at clegrand@bootrpc.com.
