Mitigation Planning

Federal and State Officials say grant funding available after flooding in 2016 prevented further damage this winter.

Take a coffee break with us! Learn about how equitable emergency management and hazard mitigation planning can protect at-risk communities.

FEMA is proposing updates to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Chesterfield County, Virginia. Community partners are invited to participate in a 90-day appeal and comment period.

October is National Community Planning Month, where we highlight the importance of mitigation planning in everyday life. Planning is the best step state, local, tribal and territorial governments can take to build a safer tomorrow. It helps us assess natural hazard risk in their communities and understand how it is changing. Planning also allows us to craft an equitable process that builds long-term, risk informed plans.

Hazard Mitigation planning partners from all over New England are invited to join this free FEMA Region 1 workshop!
