ScopeScopeThe scope of the City of Ada and Ada Public Schools Multi-Jurisdictional Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is citywide.

It addresses all natural and man-made hazards deemed to be a threat to the citizens of Ada.

City of Ada Goals City of Ada Goals

“To improve the safety and well-being of the citizens residing and working in the City of Ada; and to reduce the potential of deaths, injuries, property damage, environmental and other losses from natural and man-made hazards in a manner that creates a disaster-resistant community, enhances economic development opportunities, and advances community goals and quality of life, resulting in more livable, viable, and sustainable community.”


2014 Hazard

Mitigation Plan

Update

Ada Public Schools Ada Public Schools GoalsGoals

“The primary goal of Ada Public Schools is to collaborate with the City of Ada and Pontotoc

County in identifying potential natural hazards and developing mitigation action plans that would prevent or soften the impact of the identified hazards on school sites that comprise the Ada

Public School District.”

“Particularly, Ada Public Schools would like to develop safe rooms/buildings to protect school

communities from weather related hazards. These safe structures during non-emergency times could be used to enhance instruction, and provide much

needed space for fine arts programs, student activities, spectator events, and community

meetings.”
