U.S. Department of Homeland Security <br />Region V <br />536 South Clark Street, Floor 6 <br />Chicago, IL 60605 <br />UFEMA <br />�s <br />AUG 1 5 -loll L^ <br />Mr. Jim Russell <br />State Hazard Mitigation Officer <br />Minnesota Department of Public Safety <br />Division of Homeland Security <br />and Emergency Management <br />444 Cedar Street- Suite #223 <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 -6223 <br />r <br />Dear Mr. 11: <br />Thank you for submitting the adoption documentation for the Crow Wing County Hazard <br />Mitigation Flan. The plan was reviewed based on the local plan criteria contained in 44 <br />CFR Part 201, as authorized by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. Crow Wing County <br />met the required criteria for a local hazard mitigation plan and the plan is now approved <br />for the county. However, formal approval of this plan for the other participating <br />jurisdictions is contingent upon their adoption of this plan. <br />The approval of this plan ensures continued availability of the full complement of Hazard <br />Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Grants. All requests for finding, however, will be <br />evaluated individually according to the specific eligibility and other requirements of the <br />particular program under which the application is submitted. <br />We encourage Crow Wing County and the participating jurisdictions to follow the plan's <br />schedule for monitoring and updating the plan, and continue their efforts to implement <br />the mitigation measures. The plan must be reviewed, revised as appropriate, resubmitted, <br />and approved within five years in order to continue grant eligibility. <br />Please pass on our congratulations to the county on completing this significant action. If <br />you or the community has any questions, please contact Tom Smith at (312) 408 -5220. <br />Sincerely, <br />Christine Stack, Director <br />Mitigation Division <br />www.fema.gov <br />
