Purpose
The Hazard Mitigation Plan describes potential natural and manmade disasters that can occur and have historically caused damage to the people and property in Sauk County, and that while it is not possible to prevent disasters from occurring, it is possible to better position a community to mitigate the effects of such disasters. The purpose and scope of this plan is to describe, so that it is clear, what is intended to do and how it relates to other previous planning efforts and ongoing emergency management activities.
Sauk County and participating municipalities have prepared this plan to meet this new requirement, and in so doing, help its citizens mitigate the effects of natural disasters. This plan includes seven chapters and a map series. The first chapter provides an overview of the project. The second presents background information about the county including its setting, demographic and economic characteristics, climate, natural resources, land use, and development trends. Special needs populations and groups are identified in Chapter 3. The fourth chapter details the critical facilities. Natural and manmade hazards are identified and reviewed in Chapters 5 and 6, respectively. In the seventh chapter, the recommended mitigation strategy for the County and its individual jurisdictions is presented. A series of maps is included in the last chapter.
Background
The Hazard Mitigation Plan describes potential natural and manmade disasters that can occur and have historically caused damage to the people and property in Sauk County, and that while it is not possible to prevent disasters from occurring, it is possible to better position a community to mitigate the effects of such disasters. The purpose and scope of this plan is to describe, so that it is clear, what is intended to do and how it relates to other previous planning efforts and ongoing emergency management activities.
Sauk County recognizes the threat that natural hazards pose to people and property, and the undertaking hazard mitigation actions before disasters occur will reduce the potential for harm to people and property and save taxpayer dollars.
An updated natural hazards mitigation plan is required as a condition of future grant funding for mitigation projects.
Sauk County participated jointly in the updated planning process with the other local levels of government within the County, as well as working with local public input to prepare the 2019-2024 Sauk County natural hazards mitigation plan.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) have approved the updated 2019-2024 Sauk County natural hazards mitigation plan.
Budget Status (Other/External Sources):
Sauk County is required by federal law to have an adopted county Hazard Mitigation Plan. Failure to have an adopted plan could result in certain federal grants not being available for the County. (I.E. buyout of destroyed homes, etc.)
Sauk County was awarded $23,525 to update the Hazard Mitigation Plan. There will be no costs to the county due to in-kind costs covering the counties percentage.
