WHEREAS, a Hazard Mitigation Plan was prepared by Antelope County, Holt County, and Knox County, with assistance from JEO Consulting Group, Inc. of Lincoln, NE.

 

WHEREAS, the purpose of the mitigation plan was to lessen the effects of disasters by increasing the disaster resistance of the region and participating jurisdictions located within the planning boundary by identifying the hazards that affect Niobrara Schools and prioritize mitigation strategies to reduce potential loss of life and property damage from those hazards, and

 

WHEREAS, FEMA regulations require documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of Niobrara Schools in the form of a resolution and further requesting approval of the plan at the Federal Level; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the governing body of Niobrara Schools does herewith adopt the Tri-County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update in its entirety; and

 

PASSED AND APPROVED this 12 day of February 2024.
