Hazard mitigation plans by county

FEMA requires every county to have an adopted all-hazards mitigation plan to be eligible for federal hazard mitigation funds. GHRPC helps the 11 Green Hills counties develop and update their plans, in partnership with Missouri SEMA.

Where each county stands

The map and the table show the same list: each county’s plan status, as the hazard mitigation page on ghrpc.org gives it. On the live site both are built from one list that staff edit, so a change shows up in both at once.

What a hazard mitigation plan is

FEMA defines hazard mitigation as “any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards.” A county plan is countywide, multi-jurisdictional and multi-hazard. Missouri SEMA works with the regional planning commissions to help counties write them.

Why it matters to the county

Since the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, an adopted plan approved by FEMA has been a condition of eligibility for hazard mitigation grants under several programs.

Slot: what’s in this draft

On the live site the plan opens as a readable page, with its contents, sections, tables and maps in HTML and the PDF attached for the record, and staff add a short summary of what changed. We haven’t summarized the draft’s contents here, because we haven’t reviewed the PDF.

Public planning meetings

In 2025 GHRPC held public planning meetings in Harrison, Linn and Daviess counties, each with a Zoom session. Dates and places are on the meetings page.
