Agenda Statement

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.
