Hazard Mitigation 101
A measure of your
community’s ability to utilize
resources to prepare for,
respond to, and
recover/bounce forward
from disasters
COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE
Risk
The potential that
your community
could be affected
by a hazard event
Mitigation
What your
community can do
to reduce losses
resulting from
hazard events
Aligning our preparedness,
response, and recovery activities…
Emergency Support Function
Plans
to effectively & collectively
respond to events
to reduce loss
of life and property
Hazard Mitigation Plan
to effectively & collectively
develop a strategy & methods
to reduce the risk of loss
of life and property
Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
Communities must have an approved plan in order
to be eligible for Post-Disaster HMGP funding
(projects and planning).
Establishes a process
Enables multi-sector
participation
Mandates a Plan
Enables community
representation
What hazards affect our community?
What can we do to reduce losses from events?
Encourages stakeholder involvement at all levels
from initial planning to implementation of hazard
mitigation activities
Encourages equitable planning processes by
including stakeholder involvement of vulnerable
populations.

Element D. Plan Maintenance
Element F: Plan Adoption
Planning Process
Guiding Principle:
Process is as important as the plan itself
Planning Process
Involve stakeholders and the public
To ensure citizens understand risks &
vulnerability, and can work to
support mitigation policies, actions,
& tools.
Other elements of the Planning Process
What plans or studies were incorporated?
How will the plan be implemented?
Document the process
The plan will document the
planning process, how it was
prepared, who was involved, and
how the public was involved.
Planning Process: Success
• Relationships
• New Initiatives
• Plan Integration (Floodplain Management,
Comprehensive Planning, Land Use,
Capitol Improvements others)
• Awareness
Risk AssessmentIncludes a description of the type,
location, and extent of all hazards
that can affect the jurisdiction.
Includes previous hazard events
and probability of future events.
Looking forward and backward
What could occur? Has
occurred?
Where are our assets?
Where are our vulnerabilities?

Risk Assessment
Mapping Your Community’s Vulnerability
• Identifying vulnerable properties
• Target project areas
• Use assessment results to drive other planning initiatives
Risk Assessment: Success
• Relationships and Data Enhancements
• New Models (County, Census, Grid,
Structure)
• More Tracking of Information
• Better Decisions (Mitigation, Response,
Recovery, Policies)
Mitigation Strategy
Guides the selection of activities to mitigate and
reduce potential losses based on the risk assessment
GoalsWhat long-term outcomes do you want
to achieve?
Action ItemsWhat specific actions will the community
take to reduce risk to hazards?
Action PlanHow will the actions be prioritized and
implemented?

• Continual Meetings to promote the
process
• Continued education and project
identification
Plan Adoption The initial review will be by
local Stakeholders
The plan will be sent to
KYEM for initial review Necessary fixes will be completed
Off to FEMA for review
Necessary fixes will be completed
Governing Body will adopt
the plan and the plan will be
