Diane J. Kleiboer
Disaster Recovery Section Supervisor, WEM
Ms. Kleiboer supervises the state’s Hazard Mitigation Program, which is aimed at reducing the impacts of disasters before they occur. As part of this program, Wisconsin Emergency Management provides grant funds to communities to undertake projects, such as the acquisition of floodprone properties, elevating or floodproofing vulnerable structures, and retrofitting buildings to make them disaster resistant. She also supervises the Public Assistance Program which is made available after a Presidential Disaster Declaration and assists local governments and certain private non-profit entities in recouping costs for public infrastructure damages or for protecting lives and property.
In her years with WEM, Diane has served on a number of Governor’s task forces, including most recently the Wisconsin Recovery Task Force organized to deal with the 2008 floods; those organized in response to statewide droughts and the Great Lakes high water levels. Ms. Kleiboer also chairs the Interagency Working Group, which is an adjunct group to the State Homeland Security Council.
Ms. Kleiboer is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
