NRD to participate in hazard mitigation plan renewal process
Tri-Basin Natural Resources
District will work cooperatively
with Emergency Management personnel from Gosper,
Phelps, and Kearney Counties
to revise and renew the area’s
Hazard Mitigation Plan. According to federal law, a county
or area must have a Hazard
Mitigation Plan in place in
order to receive federal funds
in the event of a natural disas-
ter. Federal funds will cover 75
percent of the cost of the plan
renewal; each county involved
and Tri-Basin NRD will provide
one-fourth of the remaining 25
percent of the cost. A hazard
mitigation plan is intended to
identify ways to minimize damage and destruction resulting
from a disaster.
