Data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicated that as of October 19, more than 300 families self-reported their homes still needed repairs to make them fit to live in following the June flooding disaster in southcentral Montana. “Many of these families are currently staying in trailers, RVs, or mobile homes without adequate protection from the cold, or have opted to continue living in their damaged homes with conditions that may be increasingly unsafe as inclement weather sets in,” said Cheryl Cohen, Montana Housing Administrator at the Montana Department of Commerce. “We’re asking landlords and short-term rental operators who have a dwelling unit in any of the flood-impacted counties, or closely adjacent communities, who are willing to accept rental applications from flood-impacted families for temporary housing placement to contact us.”Dwelling units include multifamily rental units, single-family homes, winter-ready mobile homes, and/or short-term vacation rentals. Landlords and short-term rental operators who have units available should email HOUSING@MT.GOV with the following information:NamePhone numberEmailRental unit city / countyRental unit bedroom sizeRequested application fee, security deposit, and monthly rent payment amountsWillingness (Y / N) to lease unit at the applicable Fair Market Rent Montana Housing will compile all responses and disseminate to local community recovery leads and disaster housing case managers.

Montana Eastern Region Hazard Mitigation Plan Public Input SurveyThe State of Montana Disaster and Emergency Services (MT DES) is coordinating the creation of a new Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan that will encompass all counties, municipalities, and tribal nations in the Eastern Region of Montana. The Regional Plans will build off existing local hazard mitigation plans in the Region and be developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and Regional Resilience Toolkit planning guidance.The Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan analyzes each county, municipality and Tribe's vulnerabilities to natural and human-caused hazards and identifies mitigation actions that can be taken to minimize property damage and improve life safety prior to a hazard event.The purpose of this survey is to collect information from the public and stakeholders to better understand the vulnerabilities within the Eastern Region as well as solicit input on needs to best mitigate, or reduce, the impacts of hazards before they occur. The feedback will be shared with local planning committees to inform the planning process.Please complete this survey by November 28, 2022 We highly recommend filling out the online version at: survey123.arcgis.com/share/e73a84e5120b43e1b7d1cfac3e325d86 ...
