Agenda Statement Formatted: Top: 0.6", Bottom: 0.7" Meeting Date: November 22, 2004 To: Mayor and Council Members Through: Phil Shealy, City Manager From: David Squires, Fire Chief Agenda Item: Adoption of the Seward Hazard Mitigation Plan BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The Hazard Mitigation Plan is required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to be eligible for any FEMA funding in times of disaster. A draft plan was presented to the Planning Commission and City Council in May of 2004 for their comments and public comments. Those changes were made and then the plan was sent to the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the State of Alaska for review. We have received their comments and have added or corrected grammar or typos. The City Council needs to formally adopt our plan before it can be accepted by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Council can make changes to the plan whenever it desires to do so. Also the plan requires a review by the Administration on a bi-annual basis and after a major event. The City of Seward received a grant from the Alaska Division of Emergency Services (ADES) which was a pass through grant from FEMA. With this grant we hope to put the plan on CD’s and on the City of Seward website. Deleted: ¶ ¶ CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No ¶ 1. Comprehensive Plan ____ 2. Strategic Plan ____ 3. Other: _ ____ 4.
