2014
Hazard
Mitigation
Plan
Update
Flanagan &
Associates, LLC.
Sustained actions taken to reduce or
eliminate long-term risk to human life and
property from natural and technological
hazards and their effects.
Note that this emphasis on “long-term”
risk distinguishes mitigation from actions
geared primarily to emergency
preparedness and short-term recovery.
Scope
The scope of the City of Ada and Ada
Public Schools Multi-Jurisdictional
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is
citywide.
2014
Hazard
Mitigation
Plan
Update
Flanagan &
Associates, LLC.
It addresses all natural and manmade hazards deemed to be a threat
to the citizens of Ada.
Both short-term and long-term hazard
mitigation opportunities are
addressed, beyond existing federal,
state, and local funding programs.
City of Ada Goals

Plan
Update
Flanagan &

“To improve the safety and well-being of
the citizens residing and working in the
City of Ada; and to reduce the potential of
deaths, injuries, property damage,
environmental and other losses from
natural and man-made hazards in a
manner that creates a disaster-resistant
community, enhances economic
development opportunities, and advances
community goals and quality of life,
resulting in more livable, viable, and
sustainable community.”
Ada Public Schools Goals
“The primary goal of Ada Public Schools is to
2014
Hazard

Update
Flanagan &

collaborate with the City of Ada and Pontotoc County
in identifying potential natural hazards and
developing mitigation action plans that would
prevent or soften the impact of the identified
hazards on school sites that comprise the Ada Public
School District.”
“Particularly, Ada Public Schools would like to develop
safe rooms/buildings to protect school communities
from weather related hazards. These safe structures
during non-emergency times could be used to
enhance instruction, and provide much needed
space for fine arts programs, student activities,
spectator events, and community meetings.”
