EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 08-29-05
Paula Phillips, Director of Emergency Management, presented the Douglas County Mitigation Plan. Phillips explained that the Douglas County Mitigation Plan that the Commission reviewed in March 2005 has been approved by each of the elected bodies in Baldwin, Eudora, Lawrence and Lecompton. The Plan has been approved by FEMA pending concurrence by each of the cities in Douglas County, and promulgation by the Douglas County Commission.
The Mitigation Plan is a FEMA requirement for communities (cities and counties) interested in receiving mitigation grant funds, and for eligibility to receive federal disaster assistance from Presidential declared events.
Jones questioned what obligations went along with the acceptance of the Plan.
Phillips stated that we just needed to show we're taking steps towards one or more of the objectives.
McElhaney asked who made the determination as to whether or not we were making progress.
Phillips said that FEMA makes that determination.
The Board made editorial suggestions and directed Phillips to make amendments and place this item on a future Consent Agenda for adoption. No action was taken.
