  12. Mitigation Strategy • Develop Goals and Objectives • Identify and Prioritize Opportunities • Determine Who Will Implement • Timeline • Funding Sources

  13. Disaster Resilience Social Equity Concerns Legality Environmental Issues Historical Issues Effectiveness Cost / Benefit Analysis Funding Sources Quality of Life Civic Participation Economic Vitality Mitigation Factors Similarities to Community Planning

  14. Mitigation Plan Requirements • FEMA Approved local hazard mitigation plan required for FEMA grant funding. November 1, 2006 (44 CFR201.6) • Plan Consistent with the Alaska State All-Hazard Mitigation Plan
