The Winnebago County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution adopting an updated county hazard mitigation plan after county staff described the document and the review process.
Staff said the plan consolidates work from county and municipal meetings, school districts and prior hazard-survey input. "Generally around the state, contractors do it. It costs about $35,000 per county," a staff presenter said, noting the county completed the current draft in-house to save money. The plan will be submitted to FEMA for review and any requested edits; after FEMA compliance checks the plan can be formally adopted for the next five-year cycle.
A supervisor moved to approve the resolution with adjustments; the motion received a second and passed by voice vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: staff will submit the plan to FEMA for review and implement any compliance edits before returning to the board for final adoption as required by federal hazard-mitigation program rules.
