Hazard Mitigation. Any cost-effective measure which will reduce the potential for damage to a facility from a disaster event.
Hazard Mitigation. Outcome: Promote resiliency through inclusion of hazard mitigation.
Hazard Mitigation. In the event that a subrecipient does not agree with the determinations made by DHS/FEMA, the subrecipient has the right to file an appeal. This appeal must be submitted in GMS by initiating a New Project Appeal, attaching documented justification supporting the subrecipient’s position, specifying the monetary figure in dispute and the provisions in federal law, regulation, or policy with which the subrecipient believes the initial action was inconsistent. In accordance with 44 C.F.R §206.440, an appeal must be submitted by the subrecipient within the following time frames:
Hazard Mitigation. In approving grant assistance for restoration of fa- cilities, the Regional Director may re- quire cost effective hazard mitigation measures not required by applicable standards. The cost of any require- ments for hazard mitigation placed on restoration projects by FEMA will be an eligible cost for FEMA assistance.
Hazard Mitigation. To recognize and encourage mitigation, we consider the extent to which State and local government measures contributed to the reduction of disaster damages for the disaster under consideration. For example, if a State can demonstrate in its disaster request that a Statewide building code or other mitigation measures are likely to have reduced the damages from a particular disaster, we consider that in the evaluation of the request. This could be especially § 206.48 significant in those disasters where, be- cause of mitigation, the estimated pub- lic assistance damages fell below the per capita indicator.
Hazard Mitigation. Any action taken to reduce exposure to, probability of, or potential loss from hazards. Measures may include zoning and building codes, floodplain buyouts, and analysis of hazard-related data to determine where it is safe to build or locate temporary facilities.
Hazard Mitigation. Any action that would reduce the potential for damages and injuries to values from an incident. Hazardous Material: Substances that are identified, classified, and regulated in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 and Hazardous Materials Regulations 175. A substance or material which has been determined by the Secretary of Transportation to be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce and which has been so designated. Incident Command System (ICS): A standardized, on-scene emergency management construct specifically designed to provide for the adoption of an integrated organizational structure that reflects the complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents, without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. ICS is the combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating with a common organizational structure, designed to aid in the management of resources during incidents. ICS is used for all kinds of emergencies and is applicable to small as well as large and complex incidents. ICS is used by various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private, or organized field-level incident management operations. Incident Commander (IC): This position reports to the AA for the agency(s) having incident jurisdiction. They are responsible for the overall management of the incident including development of strategies and tactics and ordering and releasing of resources. This position may have one or more deputies assigned from the same agency or from an assisting agency(s). Incident Management Team (IMT): The Incident Commander and appropriate Command and General Staff personnel assigned to an incident. Indirect Costs: Indirect costs are those items of expense incurred as part of general management and administrative support of an organization. These costs are not attributable to a specific project, program or output, but are distributed among many benefiting activities. Often they are proposed as a percentage of direct project costs and are referred to as administrative costs, overhead, or burden. Examples may include office space, computer equipment, postage, utilities, salaries for administrative activities, such as procurement, personnel, accounting, and so forth. Direct charging of these costs, however, may be appropriate if they can be specifically identified to a project or program and the nature of the work performed creates a unique ne...

Incident Commander (IC): The individual responsible for all incident activities, including the development of strategies and tactics and the ordering and release of resources. The IC has overall authority and responsibility for conducting incident operations and is responsible for the management of all incident operations at the incident site.

Hazard Mitigation. Goal: Document the status of the hazard mitigation plan, appropriate steps taken to create a new or update an expired plan, completed hazard mitigation plan objectives, and the dissemination of hazard mitigation grant information announcements and notices. Pub 206 Standard: Section 4.4 Metrics: • Document whether your community has developed a hazard mitigation plan. (This question is conditional in the survey) o Select Yes, No, or Adopted County Plan - if you are a local jurisdiction that has an emergency management program but is incorporated in the county hazard mitigation plan. • Confirm the date of the jurisdiction’s hazard mitigation plan. o Plan is expired: Select Yes or No o Expiration date: Enter in the expiration date of the hazard mitigation plan - MM/DD/YYYY • Document appropriate steps taken by your jurisdiction to create a new or update an expired hazard mitigation plan. o Select checkbox next to all appropriate steps. • Report the number of action items in the hazard mitigation plan that have been completed. o List the total number of action items. o List the number of action items completed. • Indicate whether MSP/EMHSD hazard mitigation information announcements and notices of funding availability for hazard mitigation assistance have been sent to local jurisdictions. o Select Yes, No, or Does Not Apply for municipal programs. Notes: • Document any issues with hazard mitigation grants, e.g., difficulty filling out forms, unable to provide the 25% match, etc. • When using the State Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Michigan Hazard Analysis as references, users should use the most up to date document. The Hazard Mitigation Plan contains a more up-to-date Hazard Analysis after it is updated.
