<br />. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />FEMA makes flood insurance available in participating communities; in addition, we encourage <br />communities to develop their own loss reduction and prevention programs. Through the Project <br />Impact: Building Disaster Resistant Communities initiative, launched by FEMA Director James Lee <br />Witt in 1997, we seek to focus the energy of businesses, citizens, and communities in the United States <br />on the importance of reducing their susceptibility to the impact of all natural disasters, including floods, <br />hurricanes, severe storms, earthquakes, and wildfires. Natural hazard mitigation is most effective when <br />it is planned for and implemented at the local level, by the entilies who are most knowledgeable of local <br />conditions and whose economic stability and safety are at stake. For your information, we are enclosing <br />a copy of a pamphlet describing this nationwide initiative. For additional information on Project Impact, <br />please visit our website at www.fema.l!ov/impact. <br /> <br />If your community is encountering difficulties in enacting the necessary floodplain management <br />measures, we urge you to contact the Direclor, Mitigation Division of FEMA in Denver, Colorado, at <br />(303) 235-4830, for assistance.
