Hazard
Mitigation Planning Hazard
mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term
risk to human life and property from hazards. Mitigation activities may be implemented
prior to, during, or after an incident. However, it has been demonstrated that
hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive,
long-term plan that is developed before a disaster occurs. The Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires that all counties have an adopted
All-Hazards Mitigation Plan in place to be eligible for any federal hazard mitigation
funds. Missouri
SEMA has partnered with Missouri's Regional Planning Commissions to facilitate
the creation of these plans for Missouri's counties. As a result of this partnership,
nearly all of Missouri's counties are now covered by a Hazard Mitigation Plan.
