the Summit DODD and HIP has been awarded $430,000.00 by the DODD in

early 2024. The DODD has asked that the city purchase the playground

equipment, since HIP is not a governmental agency, and the DODD will

reimburse the City of Hudson per the agreement up to $430,000 for the

purchase. The equipment will be owned and maintained by the City of Hudson

and can be used at any existing parks playgrounds, in case the inclusive

A RESOLUTION OF HUDSON ADOPTING THE 2024 SUMMIT

COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.

Brief Description: The Summit County Emergency Management Agency is

responsible for adopting a revised mitigation plan every five years. The

thirty-one communities in Summit County worked on a revised Multi-Hazard

Mitigation Plan over the past year, which included the City of Hudson. The

Plan provides a guide for decisionmakers to help reduce risks from natural

hazards and serves as a basis for the State of Ohio to provide technical and

funding assistance. The mitigation plan is a stakeholder-driven document that

describes risks and vulnerabilities, and long-term strategies and

implementation approaches for reducing loss of life and property from natural

disasters. Mitigation plans are vital to breaking the cycle of disaster damage,

reconstruction, and repeated damage.
