Press Release – May 28th, 2026
PUBLIC OPINION NEEDED FOR HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING
Louisa County and all cities in the county are working with Louisa County Emergency Management and Southeast Iowa Regional Planning Commission (SEIRPC) to update the Louisa County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
We are working on the plan to make the community safer from natural hazard events such as drought, extreme heat, flood, and severe weather. Other hazards that are considered include hazardous material spills, dam or levee issues, diseases that can occur and terrorism. We need public comments to develop recommended actions that can be taken to improve community safety and reduce the effects of these hazards in the future.
A Public Opinion Survey is available at your local City Hall and on the Louisa County Emergency Management website. SEIRPC has a link to the survey as well.
We would like anyone in Louisa County who is interested in Hazard Mitigation to send us comments about problems your community has had from these hazards and any solutions that you think would make the County or City safer. Surveys, comments and opinions are needed by July 15, 2026.
Thank you to all who participate! If you have any questions or comments, please contact Ken Marlette, EM at [email protected] or Gail Thomas, Planner at [email protected] or call the planner at 641-233-8942.
