Mitigation Fact Sheet
What is Mitigation Planning?
Mitigation planning is a process through which communities assess risks and identify
actions to reduce vulnerability to hazards through hazard mitigation.
What is a Mitigation Plan?
A Mitigation Plan is a community-driven, living document that communities use to
reduce their vulnerability to hazards.
Why assess and plan for risk?
The plan and its process show the link between land-use decisions and vulnerability. It
serves as a tool to be used by planners or other officials to advise and inform decision
makers.
What is the Stafford Act?
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 93-
288), as amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, provides the legal basis for
State, local, and Indian Tribal governments to undertake a risk-based approach to
reducing risks to natural hazards through mitigation planning.
Why have a Mitigation Plan?
Communities must have a plan to apply for or receive a Mitigation Grant. These grants
can augment local mitigation activities already being done. Ultimately, these actions
reduce vulnerability, and communities are able to recover more quickly from disasters.
Mitigation Grant Programs
State, Indian Tribal, and local governments are required to develop hazard mitigation
plans as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance.
Grant programs with mitigation plan requirements include:
• Stafford Act Grant Programs
• Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
• Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program
• Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program
• Fire Management Assistance Grants (FMAG) Program
• National Flood Insurance Act Grant Programs
• Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program
• Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) Program
• Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) Program
