developed its first All- Hazards Mitigation Plan in 2006; and

county area including all of Sarpy, Douglas, Washington, and Dakota Counties as well as
parts of Burt and Thurston Counties and all associated local governmental entities; and
Whereas, the planning process afforded the local units of government and its citizens the
opportunity to comment and provide input in the plan and actions recommended in the plan;

adopted by the governing body of the Papio - Missouri River Natural Resources District in the
