Ann Puzzello Chairperson, Committee of the Whole CITY OF SOUTH BEND STEPHEN J. LUECKE, MAYOR OFFICE OF THE~/IA.YOR Vctobber 6, 2010 South Bend Common Council 227 W. Jefferson Blvd, Suite 400 S South Bend, Indiana 46601 Dear South Bend Common Council: The City of South Bend has completed their final review of the St. Joseph Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan and believes it to be in compliance with the requirements from Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. Beginning in 2009, South Bend has partnered jointly with other local units of government in St. Joseph County for the creation of a Plan that gives clear direction on long-term plans that can reduce the impact of future natural disasters. We all recognize the threat that natural disasters pose to people and property. Furthermore, the City understands that by undertaking hazard mitigation actions before a disaster occurs, it will reduce the potential harm to people and property while saving tax-payer dollars. I would ask that the South Bend Common Council review and adopt this plan on behalf of the City of South Bend. The approval of this Plan is not an indication that the actions described will or can be automatically funded but without a Plan the City is ineligible for future grant funding for mitigation prof ects through FEMA.
