What is Hazard Mitigation?
Hazard mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards.
A hazard mitigation plan:
- identifies the hazards a community faces,
- assesses the vulnerability to the hazards, and
- identifies specific actions that can be taken to reduce the risk from the hazards.
A FEMA approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan helps to reduce risk from natural hazards in the following areas:
Lives
Property
Economy
Protects public safety and prevents loss of life and injury
Improves community health and safety
Reduces damage to buildings and infrastructure
Protects the community's unique economic, cultural, and environmental resources
Reduces the economic and financial impacts of disasters
Speeds community recovery after disasters
Ensures San Bruno's eligibility for pre- and post- hazard mitigation funding
