Mitigation Planning Guidance

Mitigation Planning Guidance provides a framework for communities to identify potential risks—like floods, earthquakes, or storms—and develop strategies to reduce or prevent damage. It involves assessing vulnerabilities, setting priorities, and creating action plans to strengthen infrastructure, improve safety, and enhance resilience. The goal is to minimize the impact of disasters before they happen, ensuring communities are better prepared and can recover more quickly. This guidance helps coordinate efforts among local governments, organizations, and residents to build safer, more robust communities against future hazards.
