CMD OTC Mitigation
- 1. Mitigation Reduce the Impact
- 2. The Wider View “ Disasters, particularly catastrophic ones, can do more than impose deaths, injuries, and dollar losses. They can also redirect the character of social institutions, result in permanent new and costly regulations for future generations, alter ecosystems, and even disturb the stability of political regimes. Costs like these rarely, if ever, are counted as part of disaster impacts.” Dennis Mileti
- 3. Why?? “Mitigate and where you cannot mitigate, prepare, respond, and recover.” Cycle of Emergency Management
- 4. Costs Before 1987, there was only one disaster that exceeded $1 billion dollars 1960s: $40 billion 1970s: $70 billion 1980s: $120 billion 1990s: $608 billion
- 5. Low Priority “I will never lose my job for failing to do mitigation, but I could lose my job if I mess up a response.” State Director of Emergency Management
- 6. Non-traditional Players Land-use planners, Construction and building officials Business owners, Insurance Companies Community Leaders Politicians “ The U.S. political system tends to focus on short-term rewards.” (Haddow)
- 7. Definition “A sustained action to reduce or eliminate risk to people and property from hazards and their effects.”
- 8. Hazard vs. Risk. vs. Disaster Source of danger that may or may not lead to an emergency or disaster Susceptibility to death, injury, damage, destruction, disruption, stoppage, and so forth Event that demands substantial crisis response requiring the use of government powers and resources beyond the scope of one line agency
- 9. “Understanding the risk posed by identified hazards is the basis for preparedness planning and mitigation actions.” FEMA “All emergency management activities are predicated on the identification and assessment of hazards and risks.” FEMA
- 10. Federal Encouragement Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2000) Requires that states maintain mitigation plans as a prerequisite for certain federal mitigation funding and disaster assistance programs
