  7. Economic Measures • Diversification of economic activity • Economic incentives (grants loans, taxes) • Insurance

  8. Management and Institutional Measures • Education and training • Research • Technical expertise • Strengthening the capability of local

  11. Planning Process • Organize: • Community “buy in” • Planning Resources • Technical Experts • Risk Assessment: • Identify Hazards • Determine Probabilities and/or Potential • Consider Impact to the Community • Develop the Plan: • Priorities • Strategy for Implementation – What we want to do • Implement and Evaluate:

  12. Mitigation Strategy • Develop Goals and Objectives • Identify and Prioritize Opportunities • Determine Who Will Implement • Timeline • Funding Sources

  13. Disaster Resilience Social Equity Concerns Legality Environmental Issues Historical Issues Effectiveness Cost / Benefit Analysis Funding Sources Quality of Life Civic Participation Economic Vitality Mitigation Factors Similarities to Community Planning

  14. Mitigation Plan Requirements • FEMA Approved local hazard mitigation plan required for FEMA grant funding. November 1, 2006 (44 CFR201.6) • Plan Consistent with the Alaska State All-Hazard Mitigation Plan

  15. Mitigation Funding GrantsState / FEMA • Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant program (PDM): • Annual • Nationally Competitive • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP): • Disaster Funded • Flood Mitigation Assistance program (FMA): [DCCED] • Repetitive Flood Claims grants (RFC): [DCCED] • Severe Repetitive Loss grants (RFC): [DCCED]
