Area Agency On Aging Focus Group Meeting The Area Agency on Aging for the counties of Bradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Tioga will be hosting community focus group meeting on the agency’s Four Year Plan on February 19, at 10:00 at the Emergency Management Conference Room, 31 Public Avenue, Montrose. The purpose of the focus group meeting is to inform the public of the results gathered from the Community Needs Assessment Survey, review program initiatives, and gather feedback from participants on local community needs. The major objective of the Four Year Plan is to help the Area Agency on Aging produce quality planning that will enable it to meet the goals set forth in the Older Americans Act. The plan will also assist the AAA to provide comprehensive services to older residents and facilitate long-range, need driven planning. If you would like to attend the focus group meeting on February 19, make a reservation by contacting the Area Agency on Aging at 1–800–982–4346. If you are unable to attend but would like to share your input, you can submit your written comments to the B/S/S/T Area Agency on Aging, 220 Main Street, Unit 2, Towanda, PA 18848.
The Susquehanna United Methodist Church is hosting a contemporary music, praise and worship service on Saturday evening, February 16, at 7:00 featuring the Christian rock group Soulfire. All are welcome to attend.
Flood Mitigation Meeting Tonight Susquehanna County will hold its first public meeting on Wednesday, February 6, at 7 p.m., to begin the process for developing a flood hazard mitigation plan – a plan for reducing or eliminating the impacts of flooding in the county. The meeting will be held in the Emergency Management Conference Room, located in the basement of the County Office Building, in Montrose. This plan will mirror the planning effort the county undertook last year, but that process addressed all natural hazards that threaten the county and its municipalities, and this plan will focus exclusively on the history and risk of flooding. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the all-hazards mitigation plan developed for Susquehanna County is the best plan in the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Every year, FEMA, through the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program, gives away grants for the development of plans or the implementation of projects that will reduce the threat or risk of flooding. Last year, Susquehanna County applied for and received a grant to develop this plan. In the future, once the flood mitigation plan has been developed and adopted, Susquehanna County, and any municipality that adopts the plan, may apply for funding to implement flood reduction projects, such as elevating homes or flood-proofing businesses. Participation in this planning process, like the all-hazards mitigation process, is completely voluntary. The planning process offers Susquehanna County and the townships and boroughs within the county the opportunity to assess community and economic development against the threat or impacts of flooding. Over the last forty years, Susquehanna County has been impacted by 22 major floods, which have displaced residents, destroyed infrastructure, and impacted the economic health of the county. Severe and repetitive flooding in the county has impacted residential property values and therefore reduces the revenue the county can raise for public programs. The losses and impacts of floods – socially, environmentally, and financially – are no longer sustainable to the county. For more information about the planning meeting or the planning process, contact Mark Wood, Susquehanna County Emergency Management Coordinator, at 278-4600, ext. 257.

Madigan (R-23) will host outreach events in February to give Susquehanna County residents a chance to ask questions or discuss issues concerning state government. “Constituents are invited to stop by and discuss any problems or questions they might have about state issues or state programs,” Madigan said.
