Winneshiek County will begin the process of updating the Winneshiek County Multi-Jurisdiction, Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (due every 5-years). This plan is a FEMA requirement for any eligible applicant wanting to receive hazard mitigation dollars after a Federally declared disaster. We will once again be creating a multi-jurisdictional plan. Upon completion of the county plan, each municipality, school, etc. can simply adopt the plan in leu of creating their own individual plan. This not only saves time but taxpayer dollars as well.
The more community input our committee can obtain, the better Winneshiek County’s plan will become.
