Members of the public are invited to the next meeting of the Allamakee County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee set for Wednesday, October 26 in Lansing. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. and will be held in the Kerndt Brothers Community Center, located at 370 Main Street in downtown Lansing.
At the meeting, planners will outline the goals of the hazard risk assessment process, and then provide a brief overview of hazards identified by the State of Iowa Hazard Mitigation Plan and those that the Allamakee County Emergency Management Coordinator has identified as impacting Allamakee County in recent years. Meeting attendees will then break into small groups to discuss hazards impacting the county itself and communities throughout the county. The committee will come together at the end of the meeting to come to a consensus on which identified hazards should be profiled in more detail within the updated hazard mitigation plan.
