The
Multihazard Mitigation Council (MMC) is a NIBS Council working to reduce
the total costs associated with natural
and other related hazards to buildings by fostering and promoting
consistent and improved multihazard risk mitigation strategies,
guidelines, practices, and related efforts. Total costs are
considered to include the direct and indirect cost of deaths and
injuries; property damage; business, personal, and
governmental/civil disruptions; disaster assistance and emergency
services; and redundant or duplicative mitigation measures
associated with training, planning, programming, design,
construction, operation, maintenance, and enforcement. The Council
was established in 1997 as a voluntary advisory, facilitative body
of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS). |
