Abstract: The purpose of the plan requirements is to enable State, local, Indian Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) governments to better understand the risks they face from natural hazards and to make decisions and take actions to reduce the risks from those hazards. Implementation of planned, pre-identified, cost-effective mitigation measures will streamline the disaster recovery process. The mitigation plan is the demonstration of the goals, priorities, and commitment to reduce risks from natural hazards and serves as a guide for SLTT decision makers as they commit resources to reducing the effects of natural hazards.
