What resources, other than funding, will be offered to Local Mitigation Strategy participants?
The Department will provide training, workshops and materials to local governments to begin the development of a Local Mitigation Strategy. The Department is also developing several Local Mitigation Strategy tools to help reduce costs following a natural disaster, including a computer model that will generate hazard vulnerability data. In addition, this Agency will continue to identify and/or directly provide funding opportunities to local governments to further refine their local mitigation strategy, through a new initiative, the Resource Identification Strategy (RIS).
