REPORTS
Larimer County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Erik Nilsson, Emergency Manager for Larimer County, is in the process of rewriting the
Hazard Mitigation Plan for Larimer County that was originally written in 2003. The plan
lists potential hazards or disasters that could occur within Larimer County (wildfires,
severe winter storms, or floods) and what has been done to mitigate such incidents.
Currently Loveland and Fort Collins have their own mitigation plans in place, and
Larimer County would like to integrate Estes Park into their existing plan. Mr. Nilsson
requested the Town submit specifics on hazards or disasters that have occurred or may
occur, what has been done in the past during such incidents, and what mitigation plans
are intended for the future. FEMA requires the new plan be filed by January 10, 2010 in
order for Larimer County to continue receiving hazard mitigation funds. Mr. Nilsson
suggested the Town also sign a waiver stating it will fall under the Larimer County
hazard mitigation plan umbrella to ensure the Town can receive future hazard mitigation
funds from FEMA as well. Town Administrator Halburnt requested a sample waiver be
sent to the Town for review. The Committee commented it would be beneficial for the
Town to be included in the Larimer County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
There being no further business, Chair Eisenlauer adjourned the meeting at 8:27 a.m.
