LYON COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
NEWS RELEASE
December 3, 2024

Public Comment Sought for Lyon County
Hazard Mitigation Plan

Lyon County has updated its Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) and is seeking public feedback. The county faces natural hazards like tornadoes, windstorms, severe winter storms, flooding, drought, and extreme temperatures, all of which threaten lives and property. This planning helps minimize economic and personal losses from such events.

County residents and stakeholders are encouraged to review the draft plan and provide feedback through the interactive website, PDF of the draft, and proposed local mitigation actions. The review period is open until December 17, 2024. Access the plan here:

This multi-jurisdictional plan includes all of Lyon County, its cities, townships, school districts, and other participating organizations. The update is led by Lyon County Emergency Management, in cooperation with U-Spatial at the University of Minnesota Duluth, county departments, and local governments. The planning team has identified cost-effective actions to reduce long-term risks, including flood control infrastructure, tornado shelters, burying powerlines, and improving emergency communication systems.

Public feedback is crucial for the success of this plan, which also enables Lyon County to apply for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants. Comments can be submitted via the online forms or directly to Lyon County Emergency Management.
