<br />PRE-DISASTER ALL-HAZARDS MITIGATION PLAN <br /> <br />. Providing for states to receive an increased percentage of HMGP funds (from 15 <br />percent to 20 percent) if, at the time of the declaration of a major disaster, they <br />have in effect an approved State Mitigation Plan that meets criteria defined in the <br />law; and <br />. Authorizing up to seven percent (7.0%) of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program <br />(HMGP) funds available to a state to be used for development of state, local and <br />tribal mitigation plans. <br /> <br />Pitkin and Eagle Counties applied for and received funds from the State of Colorado <br />to support development of this Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan and comply with the DMA <br />2000. Through the leadership of each County's Safety Council, direction from their <br />respective Emergency Management Coordinators and contributions from emergency <br />professionals and County residents, a common plan for their two-county region, <br />including incorporated towns therein, has been prepared. This Plan, as described <br />herein, is known as the Pitkin-Eagle Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan. <br /> <br />PURPOSE, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES <br />The purpose of the PDMP is to: <br /> <br />. Protect life, safety and property by reducing the potential for future damages and <br />economic losses that result from natural and human-caused hazards; <br />. Support future grant requests for pre- and post-disaster initiatives; <br />. Speed recovery and redevelopment following future disaster events; <br />. Demonstrate the Counties' commitment to hazard mitigation principles; and <br />. Comply with federal and state legislation and guidance for local hazard mitigation <br />planning <br /> <br />The output of the PDMP is a set of recommended pre-disaster mitigation actions that <br />minimize the potential impacts from the prioritized hazards. Specific goals and <br />objectives have been established to deliver measurable benefits to each County <br />through mitigation actions that have been justified and prioritized using accepted <br />practices and the methodology described in this document. The Counties and their <br />participating cities, towns and villages have formally adopted this Plan and <br />established a process to periodically evaluate and modify its goals, objectives and <br />mitigation actions as part of on-going PDMP maintenance. <br /> <br />SCOPE OF THE PLAN <br /> <br />The PDMP is focused on those hazards determined to pose high and moderate risk as <br />indicated by the Counties' risk assessment. Priority is given to hazards with greater <br />potential to affect health and safety, impact emergency response capability or <br />distress critical infrastructure within the Counties. <br /> <br />The Counties considered a spectrum of natural hazards and human-caused threats, <br />and the hazards and mitigation actions detailed in this plan are those prioritized by <br />the Counties. Future iterations of the Plan will re-evaluate hazards and, if <br />appropriate, prioritize new hazards and develop associated potential mitigation <br />actions documented in updated versions to the Plan. <br /> <br />PROJECT PARTICIPANTS <br />The PDMP leveraged the broad skills and interests associated with the participating <br />jurisdictions. The Plan was developed by a multi-disciplined group consisting of <br />emergency planners, emergency responders, local government officials, and other <br />
