Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
LaMoure County has completed a draft of its new Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) and is now seeking public feedback. Like other North Dakota communities, LaMoure County is vulnerable to a variety of natural hazards such as tornadoes, severe winter storms, drought, and extreme temperatures, which can threaten life and property. Planning and mitigating for natural disasters can reduce the impact from future events and increase community resilience. This plan helps to identify and prioritize those projects.
Upon plan approval, the updated plan will be posted on this site.
FEMA Requirements
FEMA requires state, tribal, territorial, and local governments to develop and adopt hazard mitigation plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance, including funding for mitigation projects. Jurisdictions must update their hazard mitigation plans and re-submit them for FEMA approval every five years to maintain eligibility.
Previous Plan
The previous plan was approved on June 24, 2020, through June 2, 2025, for LaMoure County and the Cities of Berlin, Dickey, Edgeley, Jud, Kulm, LaMoure, Marion, and Verona.
