Hazard Mitigation Planning
Hazard mitigation planning is a process undertaken to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the potential impact of future disasters.
The 22 localities of the Richmond and Crater regions work together to update the Richmond-Crater Multi-Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan every five years. The Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies vulnerabilities associated with a variety of hazards and sets out long-term strategies to reduce or eliminate risks. While little can be done to prevent natural hazard events from occurring, the plan is in place to help ensure the region is poised to minimize the disruption which often accompanies disasters, thereby increasing resilience.
A Hazard Mitigation Plan is the result of a planning process to identify hazards and develop strategies to reduce loss of life and property.
This planning process is structured around the four phases of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, which the region’s planning consultant has aligned with the ten steps of the Community Rating System (CRS). Having an adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan that is updated every five years helps ensure each community in the region is eligible for federal disaster funding following a disaster event.
