Pre-disaster recovery plans

In 2018, the U.S. Congress created Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funds to help states impacted by disasters that happened from 2015 to 2017. On May 19, 2021, the Department of Economic Development announced that it will award $18.8 million to 29 recipients through its Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Program to help communities recently affected by disasters become more resilient. 

The Mark Twain Regional Council of Governments received funding on behalf of Pike and Ralls Counties to create Pre-Disaster Recovery Plans in each county.
