The City of Lincoln is always looking for ways to reduce flood risk. The Flood Mitigation Master Plan is just one of several initiatives that focuses on flood risk reduction measures that will reduce damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure in future flood events. Each initiative has a different area of focus, but all have the same goal: A safer Lincoln.
The Flood Mitigation Master Plan assessed risk and identified actions to reduce long term flood risk to human life, local properties, and the environment. Through the planning process, the City of Lincoln promoted public awareness of flood hazards and the community’s response to flooding. To assist with the identification of flood hazards and mitigation opportunities, the City and project partners sought technical assistance from the community, and state and federal agencies.
The goal of the public involvement process was to both inform and seek input regarding Lincoln’s flood risk. The process included opportunities for the public to comment on the Flood Mitigation Master Plan during its development and before its approval.
- The Planning Team was led by the City of Lincoln with support from the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District. The team met six times over the course of a year.
- Two public meetings were held at locations within the floodplain, as well as other outreach efforts, such as webcasts, mailings, and surveys.
