Preparedness Mitigation Response Recovery “Sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to life and property” (Prevention)
Any county, municipality, city, town, township, public authority, school district, special district, intrastate district, council of governments (regardless of whether the council of governments is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under State law), regional or interstate government entity, or agency or instrumentality of a local government; any Indian tribe or authorized tribal organization, or Alaska Native village or
village, or other public entity.

during plan development
A comprehensive public involvement campaign to solicit public opinion on hazard mitigation was laid
Public meetings/open houses Questionnaire/survey Multi-media press releases
The Steering Committee has confirmed 5 goals for the plan:
1) Protect life, property and the environment 2) Continuously build and support local capacity to enable the public to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from the impact of hazards and disasters 3) Establish a hazard and disaster resilient economy 4) Promote public awareness, engage public participation and enhance partnerships through education and outreach 5) Encourage the development and implementation of long-term, cost- effective mitigation projects
1) Reduce natural hazard-related risks and vulnerability to populations, critical facilities and infrastructure within the planning area 2) Minimize the impacts of natural hazards on current and future land uses by encouraging use of incentives for hazard mitigation (i.e. NFIP, CRS) 3) Prevent (or discourage) new development in hazardous areas or ensure that if building
4) Integrate hazard mitigation policies into land use plans within the planning area 5) Update the plan annually to integrate local hazard mitigation plans and the results of disaster- and hazard-specific planning efforts 6) Educate the public on the risk exposure to natural hazards and ways to increase the public’s capability to prepare, respond, recover and mitigate the impacts of these events 7) Utilize the best available data, science and technologies to improve understanding of the location and potential impacts of natural hazards, the vulnerability of building types, and community development patterns and the measures needed to protect life safety 8) Retrofit, purchase, or relocate structures in high hazard areas including those known to be repetitively damaged 9) Establish a partnership among all levels of government and the business community to improve and implement methods to protect property 10) Encourage hazard mitigation measures that result in the least adverse effect on the natural environmental and that use natural processes

Prohibitions: Are there any regulations or laws that may prohibit an initiative you have selected. Examples would be: floodway regulations, Endangered Species Act or Clean Water Act regulations, etc. Higher Regulatory Authority: Are there regulations that may impact your initiative that are enforced or administered by another agency? For example; a state agency, special purpose district.
These are classifications
utilized by the insurance industry that measure your ability to implement mitigation related programs.
CRS- Floodplain Management BCEGS- Building Code PPG- Fire protection Firewise- Fire protection Storm Ready- Flood Warning Tsunami Ready- Tsunami Warning
*If you know these classifications, please provide them. If you don’t know, they will be provided for you.

i.e.: Relocate 5 floodway properties along the Rainbow Bend reach of the Cedar River.
Brief but concise description of your project. Does not need to be overly detailed, but needs
enough description to know what is going on.
If your are carrying over an action from an
existing plan, state so. (ie: “this is a carryover action from the Capital Improvement Plan”)
Number each action with an identifying prefix for
your jurisdiction (ie: use “KCFD7-1” to represent “Kittitas County Fire District #7 - Mitigation Action #1”)
What hazard(s) will your project mitigate? Remember, mitigation = a reduction of risk. So if a floodplain elevation project will result in
having a structure with a seismic provisioned foundation due to building code application, you have reduced the risk to two hazards

parameters:
High: Would require an increase in revenue via an alternative
source (i.e., bonds, grants, fee increases) to implement. Existing funding levels are not adequate to cover the costs of the proposed project.
Medium: Could budget for under existing work-plan, but would
require a reapportionment of the budget or a budget amendment,
years.
Low: Possible to fund under existing budget. Project is part of, or
can be part of an existing on-going program.
i.e.: PDM, HMGP, FMA, EPA, DHS, CDBG
Note: If your sole source of funding is a grant, list as a long-term project pending grant funding
There are two types of Benefit Cost
An anecdotal BCA, that utilizes subjective
A detailed BCA that utilizes actual
Most initiatives will utilize the anecdotal
If you have a project that is grant eligible
Planning Team will provide the technical
Under the anecdotal approach, define benefits as follows:
High: Project will have an immediate impact on the
reduction of risk exposure to life and property.
Medium: Project will have a long-term impact on the
reduction of risk exposure to life and property, or project will provide an immediate reduction in the risk exposure to property.
Low: Long term benefits of the project are difficult to
quantify in the short term.
The benefit cost ratio must equal or exceed 1.0 to
justify a medium or high priority.
In anecdotal approach
High/High = 1.0 High/Medium = 1.0 Medium/Low =1.0
Since this is a FEMA plan, focus on grant
eligibility from FEMA sponsored programs such as HMGP, PDM, FMA.
Should also consider State sponsored Programs Refer to grant eligibility guidance provided. If you know of a grant program outside of FEMA,
and your project is eligible, provide brief description of grant program in matrix.
Prioritize your projects using the following Parameters:
High Priority: A project that meets multiple plan objectives, benefits exceeds cost, has funding secured under existing programs or authorizations, or is grant eligible, and can be completed in 1 to 5 years (i.e., short term project) once project is funded. Medium Priority: A project that meets at least 1 plan objective, benefits exceeds costs, funding has not been secured and would require a special funding authorization under existing programs, grant eligibility is questionable, and can be completed in 1 to 5 years once project is funded. Low Priority: Any project that will mitigate the risk of a hazard, benefits exceed costs, funding has not been secured, project is not grant eligible, and time line for completion is considered long term (5 to 10 years).

In this section, identify any future studies, analyses, reports, or surveys your jurisdiction needs to better understand its vulnerability to identified or currently unidentified risks. These could be needs based on federal or state agency mandates such as EPA’s Bio-terrorism assessment requirement for Water District.
