He then introduced Ms. Tami <br />Mann and Ms. Tamara Habib of SAIC. <br />Ms. Habib presented a high-level summary of hazard mitigation planning. Below is a summary <br />of the key discussion points in the presentation. The full presentation is available through <br />RCEMHS. <br />PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE OF HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING <br />Hazard mitigation planning is required under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. It guides post- <br />disaster recovery, engages multiple community stakeholders, promotes public participation, <br />evaluates hazards and risks, builds support for mitigation activities, helps educate community <br />officials, and develops more effective community policies. In the future, federal funding for <br />mitigation projects will be contingent upon having an HMP or being in the process of developing <br />one. <br />The benefits of an HMP include reducing vulnerability to future hazards, saving lives and <br />property, gaining disaster funding, maintaining economic stability, and expediting the recovery <br />period.
