The Darke County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) invites the public to review the 2024 Darke County Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is undergoing a mandatory five-year update.
Darke County is committed to improving its emergency preparedness and mitigation capabilities, and community involvement in the process is crucial to its success. There are two ways for the public to participate in this plan update.
Darke County is currently seeking stakeholder and public comment on the 2024 Darke County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan draft, which can be accessed by clicking the link below. A printed copy is available for review at the Darke County Board of Commission Office, 520 S Broadway Greenville, Ohio.
The 2024 Darke County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan is designed to help communities reduce the impact of natural hazards. The public meetings will assist the County in identifying and prioritizing the services, disaster-related projects and capabilities the community may need during an emergency.
The federal government requires local and state governments to have a FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan as established by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to qualify for Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funding. These programs are critical sources of federal funding, especially for a community that wants to proactively initiate mitigation projects or for a community that needs Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding following a presidential disaster declaration.
