Hazard Mitigation

Considering the number of presidentially declared disasters has more than doubled since the 1990s, the need for something more than response-driven risk management is clear.

A Proactive Approach to Coping with Catastrophe

Considering the number of presidentially declared disasters has more than doubled since the 1990s, the need for something more than response-driven risk management is clear. To reduce or eliminate long-term risk, jurisdictions must develop a proactive approach to coping with catastrophe.

A Collaborative Process to Reduce a Disaster's Impact

Hazard mitigation planning is a collaborative process that defines policies, tools and activities that can be implemented to reduce a disaster's impact on human life and property. A well-developed hazard mitigation plan provides a framework for streamlining the disaster recovery process and prioritizing mitigation interventions. It makes communities less vulnerable to the effects of an event and helps ensure a more secure, sustainable future.
