Davenport City Council will consider updated hazard mitigation actions and hazard scoring for Davenport’s participation in and update to the 5-Year Scott County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan scheduled for renewal in 2023. The action is an important step in updating the critical document which is set to expire on June 25, 2023.
Staff provided information on the hazard scoring, and pleased to announce the addition of four new hazard categories that will be added in the renewing plan: Cyber Terrorism, Human Disease/Pandemic, Civic/Public Disorder/Unrest, and Railway Transportation Incident.
It was noted that 49 hazard mitigation actions will be included in the upcoming plan, and that 21 new actions were added, while 8 actions were removed as either completed actions or no longer relevant to preparedness and resiliency planning. Actions covered on-going emergency preparedness, planning, mitigation, response and recovery operations; all hazard and multi-hazard actions; Cyber Terrorism, Civil Unrest, and Hazardous Material Response. Six of the new actions were identified as a result of the flood resilience study.
The planning effort has remaining phases to complete before a final draft is presented to Council for approval late 2022, early 2023.
