Assessment of
Mitigation Savings
The congressionally mandated independent
study to assess future savings from mitigation activities has been
completed and delivered to Congress.
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) commissioned the project that started in
2000. The study was conducted in two phases resulting in two reports.
For Phase II a
Project Management Committee (PMC)
was established with a coordinating Project Manager. The committee
reviewed Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) and subsequent Requests for
Proposals (RFPs) and after thorough
consideration selected the Applied Technology Council (ATC) to conduct
the study. Oversight was provided by the
MMC Board.
