Ponca Tribe HMP
About the project
The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska is working with JEO Consulting Group to create a Tribal-specific Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). A hazard mitigation plan is a community-guided document that identifies vulnerability to hazards and mitigation projects to reduce or eliminate this vulnerability. Having an approved and updated plan enables your nation to be stronger and more resilient by:
- Reducing the Tribe’s risk and impacts from disasters,
- Gaining eligibility for pre- and post-disaster mitigation grants, and
- Building partnerships within and outside of the Nation.
All Tribal members, members of the public, Tribal departments, and stakeholders are encouraged to participate in this process by attending meetings and providing information for the plan. Additional information will be posted here as the planning process progresses.
Engagement Opportunities
