Ready for Anything

2010-12-10T14:36:00.000-06:00

CAMP DOUGLAS, Wis. (MMD Newswire) December 6, 2010 -- In late September, the fierce storms that struck Clark County caused enough destruction to warrant a federal disaster declaration - and lent urgency to the county's efforts to reduce damage from future storms.

At the time disaster struck, Clark County Emergency Management Director Michelle Hartness and her team -- a regional planner, community leaders and professionals - were taking the final steps on an enhanced all-hazards mitigation plan. A draft of the updated five-year plan has been reviewed by the Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The plan is now in the final stages of approval and adoption.

September's damaging rainfall was a powerful reminder of why such a mitigation plan is needed. There was no way to know when the next floods would strike, when ice storms would shut down the county's power grids or when pestilence would threaten crops. The county and communities worked together and came up with measures to help limit the devastation.

"No one can control Mother Nature, but the scope of Clark County's mitigation planning shows that the county's leaders were not going to sit back and wait for the next disaster," said FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Paul Ricciuti. "In fact, they have come up with an enhanced plan that leaves very little to chance."

Wisconsin Whitetail Deer Populations

2009-10-27T13:10:00.000-05:00

From the Wisconsin DNR

Populations determine structure.

“Every year, following the close of hunting, biologists and population ecologists enter data from the hundreds of thousands of registration stubs collected at deer registration stations as a first step in determining future season rules,” said Keith Warnke, Department of Natural Resources deer and bear ecologist

“Registrations provide a massive amount of hunter-supplied data that are a key input to our population estimations, which in turn are the basis of the next year’s hunting season structure. Hunters can get a general idea of population trends in their unit from this map and areas that are below or close to goals. Depending on where you hunt, scouting, teaming up for drives and having a plan B will improve chances of success. As deer numbers approach healthy population goals, fewer deer may be seen in some DMUs compared to when populations were out of balance,” Warnke said.

Wisconsin Shoreland Zoning Rules

2009-09-16T14:07:00.000-05:00

Here's a great article explaining Wisconsin's Lakefront and Shoreland Zoning.

Wisconsin Shoreland Zoning Rules

With over 15,000 inland lakes, 50,000 miles of rivers and streams, and 1000 miles of Great Lakes shoreline, water plays a key role in shaping the physical and cultural identity of Wisconsin. Boasting of quiet trout streams, wild rivers and streams, and inland lakes and wetlands created by ice-age glaciers, Wisconsin is blessed with a tremendous number and variety of water resources. Providing a necessary source of food and transportation, these water resources played a key role in the settlement of Wisconsin by Native American tribes and early settlers. Today, our water resources continue to play a vital role to local economies, natural habitats, and recreational activities.

Wisconsin Private Property Rights

2009-09-16T13:48:00.000-05:00

This information comes directly off of the Wisconsin Realtors Association Website

Private Property Rights

"Property" is more than just the physical thing—the land, the bricks, the mortar—it is also the sum of all the rights and powers incident to ownership of the physical thing. It is the tangible and the intangible. Property is composed of constituent elements and of these elements the right to use the physical thing to the exclusion of others is the most essential and beneficial. Without this right all other elements would be of little value.' " -- Dickman v. Commissioner, 465 U.S. 330, 336 (1984).
