Mitigation Planning
Mitigation Planning is a process for States and local communities to systematically identify strategies and specifical activities and tools to help reduce risks to life and property from hazards. FEMA requires mitigation plans as a condition of receiving mitigation grant funds, including Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) and Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grants. Mitigation Planning has four steps:
-
organizing resources
-
assessing risks
-
developing a mitigation plan, and
-
implementing the plan and monitoring progress.
