Question and Answer Session – The meeting concluded with an open discussion about the planning process. One question pertained to what types of projects are considered mitigation projects. Mr. Overly explained the difference between the tactical and strategic portions of the emergency management cycle, and provided an example of structural reinforcement as a mitigation project for severe winter storms. Another question was asked regarding funding and mitigation action items and the ability of local government to address and implement such plans.
