  • Funded with a Federal HMGP Grant

(Hurricane Matthew)

  • NCEM is managing the grant &

providing contractor support

  • Same Project Manager as previous 2

versions of plan

  • No local match requirement

(State is covering)

“mit-i-gate”

1: to cause to become less harsh or hostile. 2: to make less severe or painful.

WHAT IS MITIGATION?

Hazard Mitigation

Any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards.

  • Revitalized Federal Planning

Requirements

– State and Local Hazard Mitigation Plans

  • Federal Grant Funding Eligibility

– Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) – Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDM) – Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)

  • DMA 2000 is intended to facilitate

cooperation between state and local authorities on risk reduction measures and expedite funding allocation

DISASTER MITIGATION ACT OF 2000

Toe River Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update | Kickoff Meeting

slide-8
SLIDE 8
  • Passed in June of 2001, amends the North

Carolina Emergency Management Act (166A)

– Requires local hazard mitigation plans in order to maintain eligibility for Public Assistance (PA) for state-declared disasters

NC SENATE BILL 300

SLIDE 9

1) We want to mitigate hazard impacts on the existing development in our communities

– Houses, businesses, infrastructure, critical facilities, etc.

2) We want to ensure that future development is conducted in a way that doesn’t increase our vulnerability

– Best done by having good plans, policies and procedures in place

THINK OF MITIGATION IN THIS WAY…
