Pursuant to that <br /> requirement, St. Joseph County working collaboratively with the City of South Bend along with <br /> other neighboring government units and businesses reviewed the Plan in light of past hazards <br /> threatening the County, and in light of current land uses and development trends. It developed a <br /> mitigation strategy with specific mitigation projects and costs. That update to the 2010 Plan was <br /> shared with the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and FEMA for their review and <br /> comment. The County approved it along with North Liberty and Lakeville, and it is beneficial for <br /> South Bend to adopt the Plan update through the attached Council resolution. <br /> As weather patterns have become more extreme and unpredictable, this benefit to South <br /> Bend is apparent. Mitigating hazards before they occur reduces potential harm to persons and <br /> property while preserving tax payer dollars. Although adoption of the updated Plan does not <br /> guarantee funding, without approval of the updated Plan, the City is ineligible for future grant <br /> funding and mitigation projects through FEMA. <br /> ELLIOT A.ANDERSON GEOVANNY MARTINEZ CLARA MCDANIELS <br /> THOMAS E.PANOWICZ DANIET.T.F CAMPBELL WEISS <br />
