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	Reduces damage to buildings and infrastructure	Speeds community recovery after disasters
Improves community health and safety	Protects the community's unique economic, cultural, and environmental resources	Ensures San Bruno's eligibility for pre- and post- hazard mitigation funding
