Hazard Mitigation Planning I Session Name: Hazard Mitigation Planning I Coastal Hazards Management Course Signed by the President on October 30, 2000 Amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 (the “Stafford Act”) Emphasizes mitigation Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000(DMA2000) or (DMA Y2K) Slide 37.1

Hazard Mitigation Planning I Session Name: Hazard Mitigation Planning I Coastal Hazards Management Course Establishes a new requirement for state, local and tribal mitigation plans Authorizes HMGP funds for state, local and tribal mitigation planning Provides for states to receive increased HMGP funds (from 15% to 20%) if, at the time of the declaration of a major disaster, the states have in effect an approved State Mitigation Plan DMA 2000 Section 322 Slide 37.2

Hazard Mitigation Planning I Session Name: Hazard Mitigation Planning I Coastal Hazards Management Course Under the DMA2000, State Hazard Mitigation Plans must: 1) Identify natural hazards and assess vulnerability and risk 2) Support development of local mitigation plans 3) Provide for technical assistance to local and tribal governments for mitigation planning 4) Identify and prioritize mitigation actions that the State will support, as resources become available State Hazard Mitigation Plans Slide 37.3

Hazard Mitigation Planning I Session Name: Hazard Mitigation Planning I Coastal Hazards Management Course Mitigation Planning avoids ad-hoc approach to mitigation Mitigation Plans can articulate a vision of resiliency to natural hazards Mitigation Plans can help educate the public about hazards and mitigation Mitigation Plans can guide decision-makers and policy-makers Mitigation Plans can fulfill DMA2000 requirements and thereby qualify for extra funding. Mitigation Plans can facilitate access to many other government programs Mitigation Plans can fulfill state planning requirements Benefits of Hazard Mitigation Planning Slide 37.4
