Hazard Mitigation
What We Do
A community that is resilient has the ability to prepare for anticipated hazards, adapt to changing conditions, and withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. Activities or Actions that are in the Hazard Mitigation Plan (which includes prevention, protection, mitigation, response and recovery) and steps to protect the community are all part of being resilient. A resilient community is adaptable and flexible – they understand some things are beyond their control, and they plan wisely. FEMA updated State and Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guides (policies) that went into effect on April 19, 2023. All state and local plans must meet the requirements of the updated policies. The Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide (FP 206-21-0002) Released April 19, 2022, Effective April 19, 2023:
