(Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5165, as
amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act
of 2000 (DMA 2000), Public Law 106–
390, provides the framework for linking
pre-and post-disaster mitigation
planning and initiatives with public and
private interests to ensure an integrated,
comprehensive approach to disaster loss
reduction. Regulations found at 44 CFR
part 201 provide the mitigation
planning requirements for State, local,
and Indian Tribal governments to
identify the natural hazards that impact
them, to identify actions and activities
to reduce any losses from hazards, and
to establish a coordinated process to
implement the plan, taking advantage of
a wide-range of resources.
