SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In November 2021 Staff provided a letter of support to BSU Hazard, Climate and Resilience Institute for a grant to complete a project called "Humanizing Flood and Other Hazard Data for
Use in Local Resilience Planning". In their Grant Application BSU Hazard, Climate and Resilience Institute proposed a case study in Valley County, Idaho, specifically the cities of
Cascade, McCall, and Donnelly, to develop a web tool that consolidates relevant flood, other hazard, social vulnerability, and critical infrastructure data such that it can be easily
understood and used by local officials for risk reduction, decision-making, and resilience planning. This project has a special focus on mapping and helping the communities identify
risks to their community lifelines (FEMA, 2020). The successful result will (1) help planners, emergency managers, and decision makers better identify vulnerabilities and prioritize
hazard mitigation actions, (2) enable communities to better understand and communicate risk, and (3) help communities execute more holistically informed planning decisions for community
safety, sustainability, and continuity of operations. BSU Hazard, Climate and Resilience Institute has been approved for funding and Dr. Carson MacPherson-Krutsky and graduate student,
Sabrina Akther will give Council a presentation regarding their project as outlined in the attached executive summary of their grant application.
