Agenda Item
Resolution - Emergency Management:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to approve the Lubbock County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Item Summary
A local government must have a mitigation plan approved, pursuant to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 201.6, in order to receive Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Project Grants, either pre-disaster or post-disaster.
The City of Lubbock participated with other local jurisdictions in Lubbock County in developing a multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan for Lubbock County. The Plan is the representation of the jurisdiction’s commitment to reduce risks from natural hazards, serving as a guide for decision makers as they commit resources to reducing the effects of natural hazards. The Plan will also serve as the basis for the State to provide technical assistance and to prioritize project funding.
According to Title 44 CFR 201.6:
1) Multi-jurisdictional plans may be accepted, as appropriate, as long as each jurisdiction has participated in the process and has officially adopted the plan.
2) Documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan must be provided within the stated time limit.
3) For multi-jurisdictional plans, each jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan must provide documentation that the plan has been formally adopted.
FEMA has approved the Lubbock County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan pending adoption by participating jurisdictions.
The Plan is lengthy (828 pages), so a Table of Contents is attached, and the full plan is available for review in the Office of the City Secretary.
