Public Packet 32 of 488 Oneida Nation Oneida Business Committee Legislative Operating Committee PO Box 365 • Oneida, WI 54155-0365 Oneida-nsn.gov Statement of Effect Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 Summary This resolution identifies the Nation is required to have an approved hazard mitigation plan (“Plan”) that meets the requirements established by federal law and reviewed and approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”). The Nation submitted a Plan to FEMA on August 3, 2026, and that Plan was conditionally approved; formal approval now depends on the adoption of the Plan by the Nation. This resolution adopts that Plan. Submitted by: Carolyn A. Salutz, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office Date: August 6, 2026 Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office The Oneida Business Committee (“OBC”) adopted the Emergency Management law to provide for the development and execution of plans for the protection of residents, property, and the environment in an emergency or disaster; provide for the direction of emergency management, response, and recovery on the Reservation, as well as coordination with other agencies, victims, businesses, and organizations; establish the use of the National Incident Management System; and designate authority and responsibilities for public health preparedness. [3 O.C. 302.1-1]. The Emergency Management law requires the Director of the Emergency Management Department develop and maintain an Emergency Response Plan (“Plan”). [3 O.C. 302.4-2(f)(1)]. Additionally, the Director is responsible for implementing the Plan approved by the Oneida Business Committee. [3 O.C. 302.4-2(b)]. This resolution identifies that federal law requires the Nation to have an approved Plan pursuant to the requirements it has established. [44 CFR 201.7]. The Nation’s Plan met those requirements and was conditionally approved by FEMA; and now requires formal adoption by the OBC. Additionally, pursuant to the Nation’s Emergency Management law, the Emergency Management Department developed a Plan and is submitting that Plan to the OBC for approval. Conclusion Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws. Page 1 of 1 Public Packet 33 of 488 U.S. Department of Homeland Security FEMA Region 5 536 S.

disaster resilient Tribal community by undertaking hazard mitigation planning and activities to reduce the costs and minimize the impact of disasters on its Tribal members and community. Oneida Emergency Management is the lead department focusing on the needs of the Oneida Nation and the Oneida community in preparation for, mitigation from, response to, and recovery from emergencies or disaster that can affect the reservation. The Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 is an important component in the preparation and mitigation of disaster impacts. The original Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan was developed to identify Oneida’s major hazards, assess the risk and vulnerability of the Oneida Nation to those hazards, and recommend actions to reduce vulnerabilities. In this five-year plan update, all sections of the plan were reviewed and revised, as needed, and where applicable include updated data and demographics, risk assessments, mitigation goals, strategies, and action items. The Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 is organized following the planning requirements found in 44 CFR Part 201.7 (Tribal Mitigation Plans). Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to the Plan. It includes the purpose of the plan and identifies the regulations and assurances. It documents the planning process used to develop the plan, including how it was prepared, who was involved in the process, and how the public was involved. Chapter 2 describes and details background information on the Oneida Nation, including a historical summary, demographic information, land area and use, and critical facilities and infrastructure. Chapter 3, the Risk Assessment, provides an identification of the type, location, and extent of hazards that can impact the Oneida Nation, and an assessment of the Oneida Nation’s vulnerability to each hazard. The hazards were revised in this plan update to include some additional humancaused hazards. Chapter 4, the Mitigation Strategy, identifies the Oneida Nation’s prioritized strategy for reducing the losses identified in the risk assessment. The chapter identifies the Oneida Nation’s mitigation goals to guide the selection of activities to mitigate and reduce losses. These goals were reviewed and revised in this plan update to account for additional human-caused hazards in the risk assessment. This chapter also describes the Oneida Nation’s capabilities, resources, and available funding to implement the identified mitigation strategies. Chapter 5 describes the process for plan adoption and maintenance, and includes the method and schedule for monitoring, evaluating, and updating the plan. This chapter also describes the coordination efforts of the plan. PLAN UPDATE SUMMARY The Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 addresses natural and human-caused hazards. This current update added some additional human-caused hazards that were not addressed in the previous update, including pandemic, active threat, civil/social unrest and terrorism, and airplane crash. Other updates include new information about hazards that impact the Oneida Nation as well as internal changes to Tribal divisions and departments that address hazards or elements of hazards. This plan also integrated data from the Public Health Emergency Plan (PHEP) (effective September 3, 2025). Throughout the process of updating this plan, the foundation was laid to develop a Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) for Oneida Nation. Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 vi Public Packet 49 of 488 Additionally, efforts got underway with this plan to develop an Enhanced Pre-disaster Mitigation Plan for Oneida Nation.

These events have a considerable economic and operational impact on Tribal governments, businesses, and individuals. In order to lessen vulnerabilities to hazards and reduce the financial strain of recovery efforts, the Oneida Nation is focusing on minimizing disaster losses through the implementation of mitigation projects and initiatives. Hazard mitigation involves proactive measures aimed at eliminating or reducing long-term risks to human life and property from both natural and human-made hazards. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN UPDATE The Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 was developed to update information on the Oneida Nation’s potential for exposure to natural and human-caused hazards and to identify mitigation strategies aimed at reducing the impact of hazards. The plan conforms to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements for hazards mitigation planning consistent with the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 201.7) and provides information on risk areas, risk magnitude, and strategies to reduce hazard impacts. In this plan, the Oneida Nation addressed issues related to the protection of lives and property from hazards, the protection of critical facilities, and to reduce costs associated with disaster relief and rescue efforts. Completion and approval of this plan maintains the Oneida Nation’s eligibility for certain FEMA assistance, such as Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grants. Tribal hazard mitigation plans are approved for 5-year periods and must be updated to maintain grant eligibility. Furthermore, having a hazard mitigation plan better prepares the Oneida Nation before a disaster, and positions them for a quicker recovery after a disaster, because the hazards, capabilities, and mitigation actions are documented and ready to be acted on. REGULATIONS Hazard mitigation planning is conducted in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K). DMA2K was signed into law in October 2000 to attempt to stem the losses from disasters, reduce future public and private expenditures, and speed up response and recovery from disasters. DMA2K encourages mitigation planning to address hazards proactively to avoid and reduce negative impacts. DMA2K requires a Tribal nation to have an approved hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible to apply for grant funding through the federal hazard mitigation grants programs. Section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires the development and submittal for approval of a Tribal hazard mitigation plan in order for a Tribe to be eligible for federal mitigation funds and certain other disaster assistance. This plan meets the requirements for a Tribal Plan under 44 CFR Part 201.7. Meeting the planning requirements of these regulations maintains the Oneida Nation’s eligibility for obtaining the maximum federal disaster assistance available including the hazard mitigation grants available through the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, also known as the Stafford Act. The Stafford Act is a federal law that allows the president to provide financial and logistical support to local, state, tribal, and territorial governments in response to a disaster or emergency. The Stafford Act also allows the president to declare a national emergency or disaster, and to determine how much federal assistance to provide. On January 29, 2013, President Obama signed the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act of 2013, which amended the Stafford Act. The 2013 Act included a provision to provide federally recognized American Indian and Alaskan Tribal Governments the option to request a Presidential emergency or Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 1-1 Public Packet 53 of 488 major disaster declaration independent of a state. Tribal governments may still choose to seek assistance under a state declaration request. ASSURANCES The Oneida Nation will comply with all applicable Federal statutes and regulations in effect with respect to the periods in which it receives grant funding, including 2 CFR Parts 200 and 3002. The Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 will be amended according to the process described in Chapter 5: Plan Adoption and Maintenance, whenever necessary, to reflect changes in Tribal or Federal laws and statutes. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Oneida Emergency Management would like to acknowledge and thank the members of the Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan Steering Committee for their commitment to the development of the Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031. The process was a multi-department effort with Oneida Emergency Management serving as the lead agency for the planning process and Community Assistance Planning LLC providing facilitation and plan development assistance. PLAN DEVELOPMENT TIMEFRAME The Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 was developed over a 20-month time period beginning in September 2024. The Steering Committee met over winter 2025 to review plan sections and develop mitigation strategies. In spring 2026, the draft plan was shared with the General Tribal Council and with overlapping jurisdictions. Plan development concluded with the adoption of the plan by the Oneida Nation Business Committee on _____________. PRE-DISASTER MITIGATION PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE The Oneida Nation established a Steering Committee to guide the development of the hazard mitigation plan (Table 1.1). The Steering Committee, comprised of Oneida Nation department representatives, provided valuable input to the plan throughout the planning process. The Steering Committee held 16 meetings from November 2024 to May 2026. The meeting dates were as follows: December 12, 2024; January 17, 2025; February 11, 2025; March 21, 2025; April 21, 2025; May 19, 2025; July 11, 2025; August 19, 2025; September 30, 2025; November 10, 2025; December 19, 2025; February 10, 2026; March 27, 2026; April 14, 2026; May 4, 2026; and May 12, 2026. Copies of meeting notes can be found in Appendix A. Additional plan review occurred outside of these meetings via e-mail.

The GTC meets twice annually and may convene special meetings as needed. Since adoption of the Oneida Constitution in 1936, the GTC has delegated many governmental responsibilities to the Oneida Business Committee while retaining its role as the governing body of the Nation. The Oneida Nation provided an opportunity for public review and input on the draft Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026–2031. On June 30, 2026, the draft plan was made available to the General Tribal Council through digital access provided by QR code and was posted on the Oneida Nation website. No public comments were received during the review period. PARTICIPATION BY OVERLAPPING JURISDICTIONS A draft of the Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026–2031 was provided to overlapping jurisdictions, including Brown and Outagamie counties, for review and comment. Outagamie County confirmed receipt of the draft plan and did not provide additional comments. Brown County reviewed the draft plan and provided positive feedback, noting that the plan was well done. No revisions to the plan were requested by either county. Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 1-4 Public Packet 56 of 488 CHAPTER 2 - ONEIDA NATION BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Oneida Nation Reservation is located in northeast Wisconsin (Map 2.1), overlapping the boundaries of eastern Outagamie County and western Brown County. The Oneida Nation has a land area of 65,442 acres (Table 2.1). The Town of Oneida in Outagamie County and the Village of Hobart in Brown County are entirely within the federal boundaries of the Oneida Nation Reservation. Three other Brown County communities lie partially within the boundaries of the Oneida Nation Reservation including the Village of Ashwaubenon, the City of Green Bay, and a small corner of the Town of Pittsfield in Brown County (Map 2.2). The following provides information about Oneida’s history, demographics, land use, and critical facilities. HISTORICAL SUMMARY In 1838, the Oneida Reservation was established by treaty with the United States. The Treaty reserved to the Oneida Nation “a tract of land containing one hundred acres, for each individual, and the lines of which shall be so run as to include all their settlements and improvements in the vicinity of Green Bay.” The Treaty called for the United States to survey land for the reservation “as soon as practicable.” After taking a census of the Oneida, a reservation of approximately 65,400 acres was surveyed and established in compliance with the Treaty. This Treaty was the culmination of almost two decades of relocation. The Oneida were members of the Iroquois Federation, with their homeland in New York.1 Like so many other tribes during the removal period (ca. 1828–1847), some of the Oneida were compelled—after years of encroachment, erosion of their land base, and pressure from both federal and state governments—to move west. This process resulted in the 1838 Treaty, in which the United States agreed to establish a reservation for the Oneida in exchange for the Oneida ceding “all their title and interest” in other land in Wisconsin that had previously been set apart for the Oneida and other New York tribes by earlier treaties. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Congress began a nationwide policy of encouraging individual ownership of Indian reservation land. For nearly fifty years, beginning with the General Allotment Act of 1887 (also known as the Dawes Act), and ending with the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, Congress followed a policy of allotting to individual tribal members reservation lands that had been held in common by the respective tribes. The objectives of allotment were simple and clear cut: to eventually extinguish tribal sovereignty, erase reservation boundaries, and force the assimilation of Indians into the society at large. The Oneida Reservation in Wisconsin was allotted soon after passage of the Dawes Act in 1887. President Benjamin Harrison approved the allotment of the Oneida Reservation, and an agent of the Office of Indian Affairs was assigned in June 1889 to carry it out. The Reservation was split into 1,530 allotments for tribal members with 80 acres reserved for establishing schools and a small 1 The Oneida Nation is one of the five original nations of the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse, a.k.a. Iroquois Confederacy). These nations, the Mohawk, Oneida, Seneca, Cayuga, and Onondaga, were joined by the Tuscarora Tribe early in the 1700s to form the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee (Oneida Nation Brochure, Purple Book, 1991). Oneida Nation Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan 2026-2031 2-1 Public Packet 57 of 488 amount of land set aside for future allotments. Trust patents were issued on June 13, 1892, with fee patents set to issue to allottees twenty-five years later, in 1917. In 1906, Congress amended the Dawes Act to speed the allotment process. The Burke Act gave the Secretary of the Interior the discretion to issue “a patent in fee simple,” free of all restrictions, to any allottee “competent and capable of managing his or her affairs” before the expiration of the twentyfive-year trust period. The Dawes Act, originally and as amended by the Burke Act, contained no reference to reservation boundaries, to tribal interests in reservation land, or to any particular reservation. A month after passing the Burke Act, Congress specifically addressed the Oneida Reservation allotments in an appropriations act for the Office of Indian Affairs. Among addressing other matters relevant to Indian affairs and various Indian reservations, the provisions specific to the Oneida authorized the Secretary of the Interior “in his discretion, to issue fee-simple patents”, and reiterated the authority of the Secretary to issue fee-simple patents to Oneida allottees. Over the next few decades, many of the Oneida Reservation allotments were fee-patented. Most of these parcels were eventually conveyed to non-Indians by sale, foreclosure, or enforcement of tax liens. By 1917, only 106 Oneida allotments remained in trust, and over 50,000 of the 65,000 acres of reservation land were owned by non-Indians. This pattern of land loss was not unusual. Allotment “proved disastrous for the Indians.” By the late 1920s, the policy of allotment was recognized as a failure. Still, the Oneida persisted. In 1934, federal policy toward Indian lands turned 180 degrees. Congress passed the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, not only to stem the loss of Indian land holdings brought on by allotment but also to give tribes the opportunity to re-establish their governments and land holdings. “The intent and purpose of the [Act] was ‘to rehabilitate the Indian’s economic life and to give him a chance to develop the initiative destroyed by a century of oppression and paternalism.” The 1934 Act brought an end to allotment, indefinitely extending the trust period on all remaining trust patents. The Act allowed tribes to organize and adopt constitutions with a congressional sanction of selfgovernment. It also authorized the Secretary of the Interior to acquire lands to be placed into trust for tribes. The Oneida are proud and productive residents of the greater Green Bay region. They have persisted through periods of both triumph and tragedy to contribute to the economic, cultural, and spiritual well-being of the Fox River Valley. Beginning in the 1960s and continuing through the 1970s, more sources of funding became available for Indian tribes. The Oneida Nation took advantage of as much of this federal funding as possible, securing several key grants, some of which were specifically slated for the support of Indian reservations. From the 1970s and into the 1980s, the Oneida Nation continued developing economically to create a more secure future for their tribal members, as well as exercising jurisdiction over their lands. In 1988, Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, a law which created a regulatory framework for tribes seeking to build and operate casinos as a means of revenue. Through the expansion of its tribal enterprises, the Nation has been able to re-acquire title to land within the reservation and to offer a wide variety of services to its members and the community. Today, the Oneida Nation’s economic enterprises are numerous and varied across industries, with gaming and hospitality/recreational sector activities being the most widely recognized. Capital projects, educational services, and the delivery of public, and human and health services to Oneida members, while less visible to the public, are noteworthy pursuits that enhance the economic and social vitality of the region. Combined, these Oneida economic activities generate significant output, income, and employment impacts on the local community. The Nation's overall vision and seven generation focus have been a key to ensuring the Nation’s vitality.

The Enrollments Office of the Oneida Nation is responsible for keeping Oneida enrollment information current and is the best source for demographic information related to Oneida members both within and outside the Reservation boundaries. Other demographic sources, such as U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, provide data on the Reservation population; however, the data is not specific to Oneida members and includes non-members residing within the Tribal boundaries. The demographic information in this section of the plan was developed by the Oneida Nation Self Governance Department with data from the Enrollments Office and the Quality of Life Survey. ENROLLMENT As of December 18, 2025, there were 17,246 Oneida enrolled members. Of these enrolled members, 4,592 (27%) live on the Oneida Reservation in Wisconsin, and 2,814 (16%) live in Brown and Outagamie counties in Wisconsin but not within the Oneida Reservation boundaries. The rest of Oneida enrolled members (46%) live elsewhere (Figure 2.1). Of the Oneida members who live in Brown and Outagamie counties, 1,516 (20%) are under 18 years old; 4,060 (53%) are aged 18-54; and 2,096 (27%) are 55 and older. Just over half of the Oneida members who live in Brown and Outagamie counties (54%) are female. Figure 2.2 displays the growth of Oneida membership in Brown and Outagamie Counties since 1999.
