Draft Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan

"The Draft Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies strategies to mitigate (lessen/reduce) the effects of disasters on the community. The Plan is required under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). Localities must be covered under a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved Plan to be eligible for certain types of FEMA funding. As per FEMA requirements, the Plan must be updated every five (5) years for covered localities to remain in compliance with federal regulations." (excerpt from the Draft Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan)

The Department of Homeland Security defines Hazard Mitigation as "Any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards."
