Linn County Hazard Mitigation Plan (2025 Draft)

Posted copy: Draft · February 3, 2026 · 289 pages

The purpose of hazard mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards. Linn County and participating jurisdictions and school/special districts developed this multi-jurisdictional local hazard mitigation plan update to reduce future losses from hazard events to the County and its communities and school/special districts. The plan and the update were prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to result in eligibility for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance Grant Programs. The County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is a multi-jurisdictional plan that covers the following jurisdictions that participated in the planning process:

  • Unincorporated Linn County
  • City of Brookfield
  • City of Browning
  • City of Bucklin
  • City of Laclede
  • City of Linneus
  • City of Marceline
  • City of Meadville
  • City of Purdin
  • Brookfield R-III
  • Bucklin R-II
  • Linn County R-I
  • Marceline R-V
  • Meadville R-IV
