  • 1.0 Introduction
    Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan 1.0 Introduction 1.0 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan of 2018 is an update of the previously updated plan in 2013. Mitigation planning regulations mandate jurisdictions to update the Hazard Mitigation Plan every five years from the date of FEMA approval; this is essential for determining the effectiveness of programs, reflecting changes in the land development or programs affecting mitigation priorities. By updating the plan, local communities can also determine the strengths and weaknesses of the plan and what elements may need to be changed. PLAN AUTHORITY In response to continuing large-scale federal outlays of disaster funds to states and communities, during the decade of the 1990’s Congress passed the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA, 2K), which required counties to formulate a hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible for mitigation funds made available by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Section 322 of the Robert T. Stafford Act requires that all states and local jurisdictions develop and submit Mitigation Plans designed to meet the criteria outlined in 44 CFR Parts 201 and 206. PURPOSE The purpose of the mitigation plan is to identify risks and vulnerabilities from hazards that affect Jefferson County to prevent or reduce the loss of life and injury and to limit future damage costs by developing methods to mitigate or eliminate damage from various hazards. SCOPE The Jefferson County Hazard Mitigation Plan follows a planning methodology that includes public involvement, a risk assessment for various identified hazards, an inventory of critical facilities and at-risk residential areas, a mitigation strategy for high-risk hazards, and a method to maintain and update the plan.
