Hazard Mitigation Plan
Description
The foundation for a plan begins with the process. It is critical to identify a wide range of planning participants to contribute to the process. Significant outreach must be conducted to ensure members of the community are given the opportunity to engage in the discussion. Existing resources must be identified and integrated into the planning process to promote comprehensive, community wide solutions. Documentation throughout is key, not just to meet planning requirements, but to ensure transparency and foster continued plan maintenance.

Description
Risk is the potential for damage, loss or other impacts created by the interaction of natural hazard with community assets. Risk identifies exposure to hazards and evaluates vulnerability to that hazard. Particular attention is given to risk to critical infrastructure. Recent changes in development are identified and assessed for impact to hazard risk, and a community’s capacity to respond to and recover from potential events is considered.
