Hazard Mitigation Plan Meeting Scheduled in Sycamore

SYCAMORE — DeKalb County residents are invited to attend a public meeting June 11th in Sycamore to review proposed updates to the DeKalb County All Hazards Mitigation Plan, a document required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency every five years. The meeting will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at the DeKalb County Legislative Center Gathertorium, 200 N. Main St. The plan outlines steps local governments and the private sector can take to reduce damage and safety risks from floods, tornadoes, severe storms, and other natural hazards. Public comments will be accepted through June 18th. County officials said adoption of the plan will maintain eligibility for state and federal hazard mitigation grant funding. Copies of the draft plan are available through the DeKalb County Emergency Services Disaster Agency and on the county website.
