Subject: Goals please review
Greetings,
First
of all Merry Christmas to you and your families.
Secondly
, I am still working to complete the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan. My feeling
is that you gentlemen have a far better idea of what should be the counties
goals. Below are the three I listed, Two are part of FEMA
regulations, the third is from my perspective.
If
you have any suggestions please send them to me. The format is one
of those red tape things.
In
January I will have to present a resolution to accept the planning, so there is
not time for the new board to contribute.
