Mitigation Planning How-To Guide #9
Using the Hazard Mitigation Plan to Prepare Successful Mitigation Projects
The purpose of this guide is to help a community move from the hazard mitigation plan to fully developing those mitigation projects that may be implemented using FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance as appropriate. This guide explains the process of developing the scope of a project and identifies the key components of a successful mitigation project funding application. It also describes how to identify funding available through FEMA and other agencies. This How-To Guide shows how valuable information contained in the hazard mitigation plan can be used to fully develop the project scope of work as well as how to use lessons learned through the implementation of mitigation projects to improve the hazard mitigation plan when it is updated.
This guide is intended for a variety of stakeholders, including grant writers, project developers, planners, emergency managers, and community leaders. It is particularly helpful for State, Tribal, and local government officials, department heads, nonprofit organizations, and other parties who are identified in the hazard mitigation plan as being responsible for implementing the proposed hazard mitigation actions.
