Community Survey For Emergency Preparedness
9/9/2024
The City of Lefors participates in the Gray County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Hazard Mitigation is a proactive effort to identify actions that can be taken to reduce the dangers to life and property from natural hazard events. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires that a community have an approved hazard mitigation plan to qualify for federal funding from the following grant programs. Some of the grant programs available include: Pre-Disaster Mitigation Competive (PDM-C), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA). A hazard mitigation plan assesses the community's risks and vulnerabilities to hatural hazard events such as flooding, winter storms, thunderstorms, wildfires, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Easch jurisdiction uses statewide data and information obtained directly from the community to make this assessment.
Currently, the City is working with the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission to do the required five year update to the plan. Public participation is very important to the hazard mitigation planning process. The City would like to ask our residents to take a short survey for emergency preparedness in our City. The data from the survey will be considered in our new five year plan. The survey may be accessed here: Emergency Preparedness Community Survey
