Fond du Lac County Hazard Mitigation Plan 2019-2024
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin Hazard Mitigation Plan 2019-2024 was developed to evaluate the county’s potential exposure to hazards and to identify mitigation strategies aimed at reducing the impact of hazards. The plan conforms to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements for local hazards mitigation planning consistent with the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 201.6) and provides information on risk areas, risk magnitude, and strategies to reduce hazard impacts. In this plan, the county addressed issues related to the protection of lives and property from hazards, the protection of critical facilities, and the reduction costs associated with disaster relief and rescue efforts. Completion and approval of this plan maintains Fond du Lac County’s eligibility to apply for future FEMA disaster relief and mitigation project funds, helping to implement mitigation strategies in the county.
MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL COOPERATION
As a way to ensure accurate data and multi-jurisdictional cooperation in the update of the county’s hazard mitigation plan, all municipalities in the county were engaged in a mutli-jurisdictional cooperation exercise to review and provide input on plan materials. Each municipality in Fond du Lac County was provided the following for their review and comment: a list of the critical facilities in their jurisdiction, the county identified mitigation strategies, the mitigation strategy identified for their municipality in the previous plan, and draft of the county hazard mitigation plan. Confirmation was secured from each incorporated community that they had reviewed the materials and provided updates.
