PINE COUNTY NEWS RELEASE

September 27, 2024

 

Public Input Wanted as Pine County

Updates Hazard Mitigation Plan

 

Pine County residents, community leaders, business owners, area agencies and organizations now have an opportunity to share how severe weather events impact their property and lives. There is also an opportunity to share their ideas on how to reduce local impacts in the future.

 

The Pine County Office of Emergency Management is working with U-Spatial at the University of Minnesota Duluth to update the county’s Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). The plan assesses the natural hazards that pose risk to the county, such as tornadoes, straight-line winds, ice storms, blizzards, wildfires, flooding, and extreme temperatures, and identifies ways to minimize the damage of future events. As the county works to update the plan, it wants to hear from the public.

 

The Pine County HMP is a multi-jurisdictional plan that covers Pine County, including all cities and townships within the county.  The Pine County HMP also incorporates the concerns and needs of school districts, watershed districts, and other related agencies, organizations, or businesses participating in the planning process. The plan will be updated by a planning team made up of representatives from county departments, local municipalities, and other key stakeholders.  When completed, the plan will be submitted to the Minnesota Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for approval.

 

“Hazard mitigation planning is a central part of our emergency management program,” said Denise Anderson, Pine County Emergency Management Coordinator.  “Understanding the natural hazards that can cause serious impact to our communities and taking action to reduce or eliminate the impact of future disasters makes us more resilient.  Hazard mitigation helps us to break the cycle of damage and repair caused by things like flooding, ice storms, and severe wind events that can damage property, stress economies, and threaten life safety in our county.”

 

Examples of hazard mitigation include:

 

  • Conducting public outreach on severe weather awareness and preparedness

  • Improving stormwater management systems to better handle high-rain events

  • Removing existing buildings from flood or erosion prone hazard areas

  • Increasing defensible space around homes in high-risk wildfire areas

  • Constructing tornado safe rooms in vulnerable areas such as mobile home parks

  • Burying overhead powerlines that may fail due to heavy snow, ice, or windstorms

 

Some mitigation activities may be eligible for future FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant funding.

 

Public input is an essential part of the plan update. As part of the planning process, Pine County is seeking feedback from residents and businesses to incorporate into the plan.   Your input will be recorded and incorporated into the planning process:

 

  • What are the natural hazards you feel pose the greatest risk to your community?  

 

  • Are there specific populations or assets in your community that you feel are more vulnerable to future storm events? 

 

  • What concerns do you have, and what sorts of actions do you feel would help to reduce damages of future hazard events in your community or the county as a whole?

 

Your feedback is wanted.  Comments, concerns, or questions regarding natural disasters and your ideas for mitigation projects should be submitted to Pine County Emergency Management by phone, email, or by posting a comment via a social media posting of this article.

 

There will be additional opportunities for public feedback throughout the planning process. A draft of the plan will be made available for public review prior to submission of the plan to the State of Minnesota. Future news releases will be shared with the media to notify the public of these opportunities.

 

The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires counties to update their plan every 5 years to maintain eligibility for FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs.

Broadband Line Extension Connection Program

In the 2022 Legislative Session, the Office of Broadband Development (OBD) was directed to create a new program, the Broadband Line Extension Connection Program. The purpose of the program is to award grants for the extension of existing broadband infrastructure to unserved locations. An unserved location is a location that does not have a wired broadband service of at least 25Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload.

How the program will work

People can report to OBD that a wired broadband service is unavailable at their residence or business by entering information on the online application below or by calling 651-259-7610 and requesting a paper application or by talking to someone at OBD who will complete the application on their behalf.

Visit the Broadband Line Extension Grant Program to learn more and to sign up.
