As access to information and technology has improved over the past 20 years, so has the field of Hazard Mitigation. What began as an “everyone for themselves” approach to hazards and natural disasters has evolved into a complex system of not just responding to these events in a coordinated manner but preparing our communities in advance. Hazard mitigation planning reduces loss of life and property by minimizing the impact of disasters. It also pays for itself as every $1 spent on hazard mitigation, see’s $6 in savings. With so much at stake, communities across the nation are developing strong hazard mitigation plans to combat the increasing rate and severity of natural disasters caused by a rapidly changing climate. In many ways, hazard mitigation planning and climate planning go hand in hand.
