Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional <br />All Hazards Mitigation Plan <br /> 4 <br /> <br />The DMA2K legislation requires all local, county and tribal governments to develop a hazard <br />mitigation plan for their respective communities in order to be eligible to receive Hazard <br />Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds. DMA2K requires that each plan must, at minimum, <br />address or include the following general items: <br /> <br /> Plan Adoption by All Jurisdictions <br /> <br /> Planning Process including Public Involvement <br /> <br /> Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment <br /> <br /> Mitigation Strategy <br /> <br /> Plan Implementation and Maintenance Procedures <br /> <br /> Any Specific State Requirements <br /> <br />Hazard Mitigation Grant Program: In 1988, Congress established the Hazard Mitigation Grant <br />Program (HMGP) by enactment of Section 404 of the Stafford Act. In 2002, regulations <br />pertaining to the HMGP to reflect the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 were changed by 44 CFR <br />Part 206, Subpart N. An Interim Final Rule was issued in October 2002, wherein the final <br />compliance date was revised from November 1, 2003 to November 1, 2004. The HMGP <br />continues to be updated with the most recent changes occurring in September 2009. The <br />HMGP assists states and local communities in implementing long-term hazard mitigation <br />measures by providing federal funding following a major disaster declaration. Eligible applicants <br />include state and local agencies, tribal organizations, and certain non-profit organizations. <br />Examples of typical HMGP eligible projects include: <br /> <br /> Property acquisition and relocation projects. <br /> <br /> Structural retrofitting to minimize damages from high winds, earthquake, flood, wildfire, <br />or other natural hazards. <br /> <br /> Elevation of flood-prone structures. <br /> <br /> Vegetative management programs. <br /> <br /> Minor flood control projects that do not duplicate the flood prevention activities of other <br />Federal agencies. <br /> <br /> Localized flood control projects, such as certain ring levees and floodwall systems, that <br />are designed specifically to protect critical facilities. <br /> <br /> Post-disaster building code related activities that support building code officials during <br />the reconstruction process <br /> <br /> Purchasing of land for the development and construct tornado-safe shelters <br /> <br />Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program: The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program was authorized <br />by section 203 of the 2000 Stafford Act, 42 USC (Public Law 106-390). Funding for the program <br />is provided through the National Pre-Disaster Mitigation Fund to assist state, local, and tribal
