Sherburne County drafts Hazard Mitigation Plan, seeking FEMA funding
What happened
Sherburne County is currently seeking resident input on a draft Hazard Mitigation Plan aimed at identifying natural disaster risks and finding ways to reduce them. The plan, which keeps local governments eligible for FEMA grants, includes participating cities such as St. Cloud, Baldwin, Becker, Big Lake, Clear Lake, Elk River, Princeton, and Zimmerman. The county identifies windstorms, tornadoes, flooding, winter storms, and hail as its highest priorities.

Why it matters
The county’s plan addresses specific risks, such as new homes lacking basements in Clear Lake, Zimmerman, and Big Lake, and the lack of designated shelters in St. Cloud. Successfully updating the plan helps local governments secure FEMA grants to fund projects that reduce future disaster damage.
