<br />
<br />Multi-objective Hazard Mitigation Planning Workshop
<br />
<br />PURPOSE
<br />Responding to widespread flooding in 1993, the South Dakota Division of Emergency Management, Federal Emergency
<br />Management Agency Region Vlll, and the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program in the Rocky Mountain
<br />Region of the National Park Service have agreed to explore multi-objective strategies for the planning and implementa-
<br />tion of flood loss reduction measures. These strategies are called multi-objective because they address all significant local
<br />planning issues including natural hazards, economic sustainability, water quality, open space, wildlife habitat, outdoor
<br />recreation, and cultural values. The planning workshop is proposed as a means of developing such a plan for an area at
<br />risk from natural hazards in an intensive, effective, and time-efficient manner.
