Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) is a key component of the Federal government's attempt to reduce the rising cost of disasters. The Act establishes the Pre-Disaster Hazard Mitigation Program (PDM) and new requirements for the Post-Disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). It emphasizes the importance of mitigation planning in communities. DMA 2000 requires local governments to develop and submit mitigation plans to qualify for PDM and HMGP funds. The plan must demonstrate a jurisdiction's commitment to reduce risk from natural hazards. The final plan must be adopted by the jurisdiction and then approved by FEMA. These approvals have now been obtained and the City's final plan is presented on-line for public review.
