The Cook County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (CCMJHMP) was submitted to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) for review and approval pending adoption. FEMA guidance (Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000) requires that the CCMJHMP be updated every 5 years.
Adoption of the CCMJHMP makes participants eligible to apply for grants funds through the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program. FEMA requires that each participating partner adopt the plan by resolution.
