<br />Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool 131 <br />In addition to the requirements listed in the Regulation Checklist, 44 CFR 201.6 Local Mitigation Plans identifies <br />additional elements that should be in cluded as part of a plan’s risk assessment. The plan should describe <br />vulnerability in terms of: <br /> <br />1) A general description of land uses and future development trends within the community so that mitigation <br />options can be considered in future land use decisio ns; <br />2) The types and numbers of existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the <br />identified hazard areas; and <br />3) A description of potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures, and a description of the methodology used to <br />prepare the estimate. <br /> <br />How does the Plan go above and beyond minimum requirements to document the Hazard Identification and <br />Risk Assessment with respect to: <br /> <br /> Use of best available data (flood maps, HAZUS, flood studies) to describe significant hazards; <br /> Communication of risk on people, property, and infrastructure to the public (through tables, charts, maps, <br />photos, etc.); <br /> Incorporation of techniques and methodologies to estimate dollar losses to vulnerable structures; <br /> Incorporation of Risk MAP products (i.e ., depth grids, Flood Risk Report, Changes Since Last FIRM, Areas of <br />Mitigation Interest, etc.); and <br /> Identification of any data gaps that can be filled as new data became available. <br />
