In June of 2004 Clinton County e

In June of 2004 Clinton County established a Hazard Mitigation Team comprised of various county officials. The purpose of this team was to create a Hazard Mitigation Plan that will benefit Clinton County and its local levels of government. This plan will be a guide for communities in Clinton County to become more disaster resistant, thus making the residents, businesses and communities less susceptible to future exposure to disastrous events. In hazard mitigation planning, a key component is to have a clear understanding of what risks are out there in our communities and what steps can be taken to prevent or lessen the impact of those risks. The development of a Hazard Mitigation Plan is an important first step in the process as it provides a beginning point of the process of assessing potential hazards and identifying cost effective efforts that will help reduce or even possibly eliminate the damaging impacts of a given hazard. Successful completion of a Hazard Mitigation Plan will enable Clinton County and its twenty-nine (29) municipalities to be eligible for future hazard mitigation grant funding as well as provide each jurisdiction with an understanding of its vulnerability to the hazards and a plan for mitigating the effects of those hazards.
