This increased damage resistance is achieved through improvements in codes and standards, designs, methods, and materials used for new construction and post-disaster repair and recovery. The Mitigation Assessment Team (MAT) Program is an integral part of this process.
The recommendations address improvements in building design and construction, code development and enforcement, and mitigation activities that will lead to greater resistance to hazard events. The observations and recommendations of the MATs are presented in reports published by FEMA.
FEMA is recruiting qualified investigators willing to serve as members of MATs. Qualified applicants are listed in FEMA's MAT Roster Database, from which team members are selected for future MATs. View the investigative fields.
