Good evening, Mayor, Council. Under the Robert T. Stafford Act, we are required to accept and adopt a hazard mitigation plan every five years. It's a regulation that has to be updated. We've worked with Kent County, so I started working with them again in 2024, with other stakeholders, doing our part in order to be classified into Kent County's plan. It went through DEMA and was approved, it's been through FEMA and was approved, and on October 13th, Kent County approved it. So now it is to part where we are able to adopt it to be part of our hazard mitigation plan as well. If we don't have one in place, we are not eligible for federal funds.
