Pulaski County residents have been invited to review and comment on an update to the county’s Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Pulaski County, including the towns of Francesville, Medaryville, Monterey and Winamac, has prepared the update to address risks and vulnerabilities from natural, technological and political hazards.
The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is updated every five years to keep communities eligible for future mitigation funding through the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The plan is intended to help communities prepare for disasters before they occur and reduce their physical, social and economic impacts.
The update includes a summary of the county’s risk assessment and vulnerability analysis, along with proposed mitigation projects involving prevention, property protection, natural resource protection, emergency services, structural control projects and public information.
The draft update is available through Pulaski County Emergency Management. The full plan, exhibits and appendices can also be found online here.
Comments on the plan will be accepted through Monday, September 21st.
