RESOLUTION NO. ______________ A RESOLUTION Adopting the Everett Hazard Mitigation Plan WHEREAS, A.The City of Everett has exposure to natural hazards that increase the risk to life, property, environment and the City’s economy. B. Pro-active mitigation of known hazards before a disaster event can reduce or eliminate long- term risk to life and property.

D.Pursuant to 44 CFR 201.6, a planning team and stakeholders with like planning objectives was formed to create consistent mitigation strategies to be implemented within the identified planning area. E.The planning team has completed a planning process that engages the public, assesses the risk and vulnerability to the impacts of natural hazards, develops a mitigation strategy consistent with a set of uniform goals and objectives, and creates a plan for implementing, evaluating and revising this strategy. F.Pursuant to 44 CFR 201.6, the City of Everett’s Hazard Mitigation Plan has been reviewed and found to meet regulatory criteria requirements, and following adoption by the City, will be approved by FEMA, making it eligible for Stafford Act and other mitigation project grants.
