Leon County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan 2018 "Under the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000 or "the Act"), the participating jurisdictions are required to have a Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") - approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan ("the Plan") in order to be eligible for certain pre- and post-disaster mitigation funds. Adoption of this Plan by the participating jurisdictions and approval by FEMA will serve the dual objectives of providing direction and guidance on implementing hazard mitigation in the participating jurisdictions, and qualify them to obtain federal assistance for hazard mitigation. Solely to help achieve these objectives, the Plan attempts to systematically identify and address hazards that can affect the participating jurisdictions. Nothing in this Plan is intended to be an admission, either expressed or implied, by or on behalf of the participating jurisdictions, of any obligation, responsibility, duty, fault or liability for any particular hazard or hazardous condition, and no such obligation, responsibility, duty, fault or liability for the participating jurisdictions should be inferred or implied from the Plan, except where expressly stated."
