TOWN OF GRANT TO UPDATE ALL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

September 9 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

TOWN OF GRANT TO UPDATE ALL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PROJECTS THAT COULD MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF DISASTERS IN THE TOWN OF GRANT

Portage County Emergency Management Division will be updating Portage County’s All Hazard Mitigation Plan. As a requirement, we will be hosting a public informational and planning session to gather input from residents regarding ways to reduce the impacts of emergencies and disasters.

The public information and planning session will be held on:

Monday, September 9th, 2024 at 6:00PM at The Town of Grant Town Hall

9011 County Road WW, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin 54494

The meeting will provide the public the opportunity to identify the potential hazards that could occur within the Town of Grant. The goal is to document various mitigation measures intended to eliminate Or reduce the negative impacts of those hazards.  Opportunity to contribute without attending the meeting is also available by visiting townofgrant-portage.wi.gov/disaster/ and submitting your feedback online.

The US Federal government requires local and state governments to have a FEMA-Approved All-Hazard Mitigation Plan as established by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to qualify for Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project grant dollars. These programs are critical sources of Federal funding, especially for a community that wants to proactively initiate mitigation projects using PDM dollars, or for a community that needs HMGP funding following a Presidentially declared disaster.

For more information about this plan and meeting, please contact Portage County Emergency Management coordinator Bob Weinart at weinertr@co.portage.wi.gov or call 715-346-1437

More information is also available at townofgrant-portage.wi.gov/disaster/

One or more town officers may be present.

Stefanie Schlapa, Town of Grant Clerk
