 Hazard Mitigation Planning 
The primary purpose of hazard mitigation planning is to identify how a community can minimize the negative impacts of natural, human caused, and combination hazards. This type of planning attempts to minimize death, injury, property damage, and community disruption. The secondary purpose of hazard mitigation planning is to maintain a local government’s eligibility to apply for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funding, which includes the Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Grant Program, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), and the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program.

The importance of hazard mitigation planning was recognized at the federal level in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, which was amended most recently by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000).

A hazard mitigation plan broadly includes four sections: 1) documentation and description of the planning process, 2) a hazard analysis and risk assessment, 3) a mitigation strategy, and 4) a plan maintenance process.

A printed copy of the plan can be made available for review at the ECICOG office. To request a printed copy or for more information on hazard mitigation please contact Tom Gruis at tom.gruis@ecicog.org or 319-365-9941 ext. 130.
