Agenda Item Summary:
The Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan required revision and adoption by participating jurisdictions every 5 years. The next iteration of this plan was developed with significant input from City staff, and has been approved by the State of South Dakota and FEMA pending adoption by the participating jurisdictions. We included the Community Wildfire Protection Plan within the content of the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Community Wildfire Protection Plan is required to be updated every 10 years, but it will remain in the 5-year cycle of the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Community Wildfire Protection Plan requires a separate signatory page, while the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan needs to be adopted by resolution.

In addition to providing guidance on community risk reduction and mitigation strategies, both of these plans are required elements for multiple federal grant programs that the City takes advantage of.
