OTTAWA - LaSalle County is working with the North Central Illinois Council of Governments (NCICG), a regional planning agency that provides planning services to local governments, to update the 2015 LaSalle County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan.
A kick-off meeting will take place at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24 at the LaSalle County Emergency Operations on Etna Road in Ottawa to discuss the update and planning process. The public is invited to attend.
The purpose of a Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan is to identify the types of natural hazards that impact a jurisdiction, to assess each jurisdiction’s vulnerability to those hazards, and to formulate mitigation strategies that will lessen the severity of natural disasters by protecting human life and property. Every five years, plans must be reviewed and updated to remain active.
In order for a county or municipality to receive federal pre-disaster mitigation funds, the county and municipality must have an adopted and approved Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan.
For more information about the LaSalle County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan 2020, please contact Austin Taylor at (815) 433-5830 or ataylor@ncicg.
