OF PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO,
APPROVING
PITKIN COUNTY PRE-DISASTER MITIGATION PLAN
RESOLU* ON NO. 0qf 2005
RECITALS
1. Part of the ability of Pitkin County and the incorporated jurisdictions within the
County (City of Aspen, Town of Snowmass Village, Town of Basalt) to serve the
interests of the citizens is preparation for any type of disaster, which involves pre-disaster
mitigation planning.
2. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (The Stafford Act) requires
jurisdictions to prepare and adopt hazard mitigations plans before a disaster occurs in
order to be eligible for future pre-disaster and post-disaster federal funding for mitigation
purposes.
3. Per Resolution No. 110-2004, Pitkin County accepted $9,200.00 in reimbursable
grant funds from Colorado Division of Emergency Management (Grant Award Letter
4EM72250) through an agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). These funds were used to hire a consultant to guide Pitkin County and the
incorporated jurisdictions within Pitldn County, in partnership with Eagle County and the
incorporated jurisdictions within Eagle County, through the Pre-Disaster Mitigation
Planning process.
3. The Emergency Management Coordinators of Pitkin and Eagle Counties, along
with consultants and staff in all the incorporated jurisdictions within those counties, have
created a comprehensive Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan. This process involved extensive
input from citizens, govermnent staff, and experts in the various hazard areas.
4. The result is one all-hazards, comprehensive Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan for
Pitkin County and all the incorporated jurisdictions with Pitkin County. This PDM is
tightly coordinated with the PDM for Eagle County and its incorporated jurisdictionS,
thereby better serving the citizens of both counties.
5. The adoption of this Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan by Pitkin County, Aspen,
Snowmass Village, and Basalt will allow all jurisdictions to be eligible for future pre-
disaster and post-disaster federal funding.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin
County, Colorado, to approve the Pitkin County Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan.
