Madison County and participating jurisdictions and school/special districts developed this multi- jurisdictional local hazard mitigation plan update to reduce future losses from hazard events to the County and its communities and school/special districts. The plan is an update of a plan that was approved on August 9, 2012. The plan and the update were prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to result in eligibility for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant Programs. The County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is a multi-jurisdictional plan that covers the following three (3) jurisdictions that participated in the planning process: • Perry County • Perryville • Perry County School District No. 63 The cities of Altenburg and Frohna, the school district of Altenburg 48, and the Bois Brule Levee District were invited to participate in the planning process but did not meet all of the established requirements for official participation. When the future five-year update is developed for this plan, these jurisdictions will be invited again to participate. Perry County and the entities listed above developed a Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan that was approved by FEMA in 2013 (hereafter referred to as the 2013 Hazard Mitigation Plan). This current planning effort serves to update that previously approved plan. The plan update process followed a methodology prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) comprised of representatives from the County and participating jurisdictions. The HMPC updated the risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to Perry County and analyzed jurisdictional vulnerability to these hazards. The HMPC also examined the capabilities in place to mitigate the hazard damages, with emphasis on changes that have occurred since the previously approved plan was adopted. The HMPC determined that the planning area is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Riverine and flash flooding, winter storms, severe thunderstorms/hail/lightning/high winds, and tornadoes are among the hazards that historically have had a significant impact. iv Based upon the risk assessment, the HMPC updated goals for reducing risk from hazards. The goals are listed below: 1. Protect the health, safety, and welfare of residents and students. 2. Ensure the operation of critical facilities and services. 3. Protect public and private property. 4. Enhance informed decision making of mitigation actions. To advance the identified goals, the HMPC developed recommended mitigation actions, which are detailed in Chapter 4 of this plan. The HMPC developed an implementation plan for each action, which identifies priority level, background information, ideas for implementation, responsible agency, timeline, cost estimate, potential funding sources, and more. v PREREQUISITES This plan has been reviewed by and adopted with resolutions or other documentation of adoption by all participating jurisdictions and schools/special districts. The documentation of each adoption is included in Appendix D, and a model resolution is included on the following page.
