ISC Helps to Mitigate Cook County and the City of Chicago

The ISC Mitigation Planning Team (MPT) and Cook County worked closely together to complete the Cook County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP), including a complete State and Federal review and approval. Cook County, population 5.2 million and 121 municipalities, required intense project management execution: five steering committee meetings, four jurisdictional partner webinars, and mitigation training video, and the implementation of a Mitigation Planning Knowledge Management System (KMS), integrating one county, three regional, and 121 municipal mitigation planning programs. ISC MPT and DEMRS will continue collaboration throughout the five year mitigation planning process, producing annual reports and mitigation plan updates.
