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.
