Region Begins Update of 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan By: Judy Hachey, LCADD The Lake Cumberland Area Development District (LCADD) is in the process of updating the 2016 Lake Cumberland Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The first Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan meeting will be held on March 26, 2015 at 6:30 central time at LCADD, located at 2384 Lakeway Drive in Russell Springs. The meeting will take place prior to LCADD's regular board meeting. The public is encouraged to attend. LCADD represents Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, Pulaski, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne counties. The geographic scope of the Lake Cumberland Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan includes 14 incorporated cities and all unincorporated land within the ten-county district. The Plan, which is updated every five years, forms the foundation for long-term strategies to reduce disaster losses and break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction and repeated damage. LCADD's geographic area is affected by many natural hazards, including severe storms with hail, lightning and tornadoes, floods, wildfires, dam/levee failures, extreme summer and winter weather events, and more. The effects of these natural hazards can be reduced through hazard mitigation planning. The Plan identifies any and all high or moderate risk hazards that affect communities within the LCADD area. The Plan's mission is to promote sound public policy, to protect citizens from harm, and to protect property and the environment from damage caused by natural hazards by increasing public awareness and by identifying resources for risk reduction and loss prevention. The Regional Mitigation Planning Committee oversees the development of the Plan. Each LCADD county will provide members for the Regional Mitigation Planning Committee. Members will be solicited from a pool of the community to represent mayors, judge-executives, magistrates, local flood plain managers, disaster relief coordinators, emergency management service personnel, city councils, community action agencies, building inspectors, local businesses, higher educational institutes, fire and police departments, and non-profit organizations. The Regional Mitigation Planning Committee seeks a coordinated and active mitigation planning process among all jurisdictions with their full participation in plan development and implementation. This integrated planning process combines the risks, issues, goals, and mitigation measures of each community into a consolidated plan whereby all jurisdictions have equal opportunity for participation and full representation in the planning process. If you would like more information about the Lake Cumberland Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan, or if you are interested in serving on the Regional Mitigation Planning Committee, contact your county judge-executive or mayor.
