The Sokaogon Chippewa Community is developing a plan to prepare for natural disasters or other emergency scenarios near Mole Lake.
The tribe has received a $45,000 grant from FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to put together a task force…which met for the first time this week.
Environmental Director and task force member Tina Van Zile says the tribe doesn’t have much in place in terms of emergency management, and the plan will help coordinate existing agencies.
