ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt Resolution Adopting the Cabarrus Stanly Union Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan 2025 Update.
PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
July 13, 2020, Regular Meeting, Agenda Item # 35 - Adoption of prior plan.
BACKGROUND:
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and Senate Bill 300 require each local government including counties, cities, towns and villages to have an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan. The types of plans throughout North Carolina vary from multi-jurisdictional plans, town plans, city plans, some village plans and several regional plans. North Carolina has approximately 130 hazard mitigation plans in place that must be updated every five years. Through the efforts of North Carolina Emergency Management (NCEM), Hazard Mitigation Planning Section and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); mitigation officials are working to reduce the total number of mitigation plans by encouraging local jurisdictions to regionalize their hazard mitigation plans. The first Union County Hazard Mitigation Plan was created in September 2004. In 2011, the plan was revised as a regional plan with Cabarrus and Stanly Counties. The current plan expires on June 1, 2025, and a contractor has been working with Cabarrus, Stanly and Union Counties as well as the municipalities in each county to update the plan. FEMA and North Carolina Emergency Management have approved the revised plan. All municipalities in Union County have passed resolutions adopting the Cabarrus Stanly Union Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan 2025 Update.
