Increasingly, local jurisdictions are implementing policy to regulate the degree of severe storm protection that is mandatory in their communities. With this trend growing in the region, the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) and the Metropolitan Emergency Managers Committee (MEMC) set out to examine the multitude of considerations that must be made as local jurisdictions approach this issue. Understanding that a number of disciplines could be potentially impacted by this type of regulation, MARC and the MEMC began with a thorough process of information collection. During the first phase of this process, surveys were conducted to gain an understanding of the current degree of regulation in the region. The results of those surveys are included in this report. MARC invited numerous stakeholders from the community to participate in a Hazard Mitigation Task Group. This group compiled and reviewed the information and feedback included in this document. The members of the Hazard Mitigation Task Group came from diverse backgrounds and represented many of the disciplines impacted by this type of regulation. Through work of the task group, we outlined many of the issues which local governments need to consider if they wish to regulate severe storm protection in their communities. These considerations are included in this report. There are strong cases to be made on both sides of the issue — public safety and economic viability — and costs and benefits must be weighed in each community. Through this document, the Hazard Mitigation Task Group hopes to provide planning guidance and consistent
