The Local Mitigation Strategy: Your Guide To A Safer Community Mitigation: Actions we can take before a disaster or when we rebuild after a disaster, that will reduce our risk of property damage or loss of life in the future.

After the disaster….. From “why did this happen?” to How can we prevent this from happening again?

Deja Vue All over again… DCA contracted with all counties in 1998 to develop mitigation plans for their communities. Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires the State and local governments to have an approved Mitigation Plan in order to be eligible for federal disaster mitigation funding DCA contracted with all counties to update their LMS and bring into compliance with DMA 2000.

Step 1: Assessing Our Risk: Vulnerability Assessment Identify the hazards each community could face and the probability of the hazard. Flooding Hazardous material incidents Severe winds from tropical storms, hurricanes, tornadoes Lightning, droughts, freezes, sinkholes…

Terrorism The tragic events of September 11, 2001 tragically demonstrate we are not immune. The threats are incorporated into the new LMS

Step 2: Guiding Principles Policies Regulations Procedures Programs

Step 3: Mitigation Strategies What are our strengths? What are our weaknesses? What are our priorities toward a safer community?
