Build onWhat Exists in the Jurisdiction A review of recent emergency operations and hazard events can help identify issues that need to be addressed in the planning process. Seek Professional Assistance The addition of experts —professional consultants and engineers — to the planning team can be extremely valuable.

With an approved plan complete, jurisdictions can benefit from numerous programs (found in Section 404 of the Robert T. Stafford Act) to obtain funding for mitigation measures, including: • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP); • Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) (Identified as PDM – Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program); • Repetitive Flood Claims Program; and the • Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMA).
