Town of Bellefonte

Special Commission Meeting

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

7:00 p.m.

Bellefonte Town Hall

901A Rosedale Avenue

The Commission is calling a Special Meeting for the purpose of discussing and entertaining a motion to adopt a proposed resolution. The purpose of the resolution is to adopt the New Castle County Multi-jurisdictional All Hazard Plan as the operating Hazard Plan for the Town of Bellefonte.  The Town of Bellefonte is required to adopt an updated hazard plan by January 31. The most prudent date and time for the Commission to convene for this business is Thursday, January 28 at 7:00 pm.  This aforementioned Plan meets the requirements for maintaining a local hazard mitigation plan under 44 CFR Part 201, published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on February 28, 2002, and amended on Oct. 31, 2007.  Without this plan, all eligible local jurisdictions (including Bellefonte) would be ineligible to receive a variety of disaster recovery programs, including the Public Assistance Program to repair or replace damaged public facilities, and the Fire Management Assistance Program to help the state and communities recover the costs of major disasters. However, the State and local communities would remain eligible for certain emergency assistance and Human Services programs available through the Stafford Act.
