Subject: Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan
Greetings,
As
you know I have been working on updating the Pre-Disaster Mitigation
Plan. Some of you have been in at the Pre-Disaster Planning
meetings and are aware of our progress.
We
are at the point where we need to identify long range goals for the plan.
The
goals should be something that would mitigate a hazard or lessen the damage or
injury from the hazard.
As
an example in the old plan, our desire for an early warning system was a goal.
I
am seeking your thoughts as elected officials. The goals need
to be something that would be feasible so they should be practical.
Any
thoughts or ideas are welcome. I did not want to come before you in public
meeting without you having the opportunity to consider the county needs and
form your ideas, and thoughts in private.
At
this point the only goal I am considering for the county is to continue the
siren placement in residential areas.
I
am not sure if we have need for any drainage studies or similar studies.
Thank
you for your time,
Kathie
