Discussion:
City staff has participated in updating and planning related to hazard mitigation. The mitigation planning process was established under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. Council has adopted this plan in the past and each city in Scott County is being asked to adopt a Resolution renewing the plan.
Adoption of the Hazard Mitigation Plan is something that needs to be done by the city in order for Shakopee to qualify for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance over the next five years. The current plan has been approved by the Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. The plan is nearly 400 pages and can be found with this link: Scott County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan.
