The following are the top ten high priority mitigation measures defined by the Calumet Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee.

• General - Evaluate and upgrade warning systems.

• General - Provide emergency equipment for City Emergency Teams including a safe-room in Town Hall and an emergency communications network for fire, police, 911, EMT and other emergency operations.

• Urban Fires - Replace inadequately sized water lines with lines of sufficient size to provide adequate fire protection.
• Floods - Acquire accurate or verify accuracy of existing flood plain maps and develop warning and evacuation plans for areas at risk from dam failure or large release flooding.
