Hazard Mitigation

For more than 10 years, we have supported more than 285 local, state, and tribal governments nationwide—as well as universities and school districts—in meeting the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). In accordance with this act, funding eligibility for FEMA’s Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Grant program is contingent upon having a FEMA-approved hazard mitigation plan. We provide our clients with a superior team capable of developing an approvable hazard mitigation plan. We also assist with steering committees, public input, hazard profiles, detailed risk assessments and vulnerability analyses, applicable mitigation strategies, benefit/cost analyses, and support through the FEMA approval and adoption processes.

Expert Knowledge of the Four Phases of Emergency Management

We combine a long history of providing emergency management services to FEMA with experience executing the four emergency management phases – preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. This gives us a thorough understanding of how hazard mitigation planning relates to each community’s emergency management and loss avoidance goals.
