<br />1. Prevention: Government, administrative or regulatory actions that influence the way land and buildings are developed to reduce
<br />hazard losses. Includes planning and zoning, floodplain laws, capital improvement programs, open space preservation, and
<br />stormwater management regulations.
<br />2. Property Protection: Modification of buildings or structures to protect them from a hazard or removal of structures from a hazard
<br />area. Includes acquisition, elevation, relocation, structural retrofit, storm shutters, and shatter -resistant glass.
<br />3. Public Education and Awareness: Actions to inform citizens and elected officials about hazards and ways to mitigate them.
<br />Includes outreach projects, real estate disclosure, hazard information centers, and school -age and adult education.
<br />4. Natural Resource Protection: Actions that minimize hazard loss and preserve or restore the functions of natural systems.
<br />Includes sediment and erosion control, stream corridor restoration, watershed management, forest and vegetation management,
<br />and wetland restoration and preservation.
<br />5. Emergency Services: Actions that protect people and property during and immediately after a hazard event. Includes warning
<br />systems, emergency response services, and the protection of essential facilities.
<br />6. Structural Projects: Actions that involve the construction of structures to reduce the impact of a hazard. Includes dams, setback
<br />levees, floodwalls, retaining walls, and safe rooms.
