<br /> <br />Hazard Mitigation <br />Objectives & <br />Accomplishments <br /> <br />In keeping with the National Mitigation Strategy, this report identifies mitigation <br />measures, successful mitigation activities and reinforces the traditional long-term <br />goal to reduce loss of life and property damage, by eliminaHng or reducing the <br />impacts of natural or man-made hazords. The obiectives of hazord mitigation <br />that were implemented during the response phase of the current disaster. They <br />may also provide a framework for revisions to the Colorado Multi-Objective <br />Mitigation Pion, as required by Section 409 of the Stafford Act. <br /> <br />The objectives are summarized under the following categories, which were <br />developed and implemented during the response phase of this disaster: <br /> <br />. Mitigation Outreach <br />. National Flood Insurance Program [NFIP) <br />. Mitigation under the Public Assistance Program <br />. Mitigation under the Human Services Program <br /> <br />MITIGATION OUTREACH <br /> <br />Objective: Develop and distribute public education materials on mitigation to <br />affected areas. <br /> <br />Dissemination of information is beneficial to the success of mitigation measures. <br />Opportunities can be lost if information is not distributed to affected home/ <br />property owners and renters, particularly if repairs are already underway or <br />completed. A public information campaign to publicize the benefits and tech- <br />niques for mitigation is advantageous. <br /> <br />Mitigation outreach included: <br /> <br />. Mitigation counselors staffed the Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) <br />distributing mitigation information and offering technical advice. <br />. A mitigation tour was conducted for members of the media showing <br />examples of existing mitigation and mitigation success stories used <br />in other cities and states. <br />. Mitigation staff made several media appearances including a <br />mitigation spot on the FEMA radio network, newspaper interviews <br />and radio broadcasts. <br />
