The Christian County Hazard Mitigation and Planning Committee is set to meet at the Taylorville Fire Station Training Room, located at 202 North Main Street in Taylorville. The meeting is scheduled to start at 2 PM to discuss with multiple area jurisdictions the results and outcomes of a recent vulnerability analysis.  

Multiple entities were asked at the last meeting to put together details to analyze vulnerability. The committee also asked the jurisdiction's representatives to fill out some worksheets that go over the risk priorities and community lifelines. 

These committee meetings and the results of these different analyses and worksheets are required to happen in order for the county to receive grant money from the state in the event of a widespread emergency. 

Those grants could help with cleanup efforts after severe weather or natural disasters, or even provide assistance for a jurisdiction to acquire better equipment and safety measures to keep the community safe.

The committee asks that those in attendance bring their draft mitigation project forms as well as any other completed forms from the first two meetings.  The committee also said that any of the jurisdictions that wish to participate, if you missed the first two meetings, then attendance at today's meeting is crucial.
