What is mitigation? Steps taken to prevent all possible hazards that may lead towards a disaster Steps taken to prevent all possible hazards that may lead towards a disaster Focuses on long-term tasks to reduce or eliminate risk Focuses on long-term tasks to reduce or eliminate risk Can be structural or non-structural Can be structural or non-structural Goal: Create safer communities, reducing loss of life and property Goal: Create safer communities, reducing loss of life and property

What is mitigation? Is it the first or last step in emergency management? Is it the first or last step in emergency management? Identify the potential hazard and evaluate the chances of the hazard resulting in a disaster affecting people or property Identify the potential hazard and evaluate the chances of the hazard resulting in a disaster affecting people or property

Examples of Mitigation Enforcing building codes (flood-proofing, seismic design, wind-bracing requirements) for new construction Enforcing building codes (flood-proofing, seismic design, wind-bracing requirements) for new construction Retro-fitting public buildings to meet new standards (e.g., hurricane winds or ground shaking) Retro-fitting public buildings to meet new standards (e.g., hurricane winds or ground shaking) Adopting zoning ordinances steering development away from areas prone to flooding, erosion, storm surge, or forest fires Adopting zoning ordinances steering development away from areas prone to flooding, erosion, storm surge, or forest fires Building community shelters in public buildings and schools in certain areas Building community shelters in public buildings and schools in certain areas
