Mitigation Mission Mitigation includes those capabilities necessary to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. lt is focused on the premise that individuals, the private and nonprofit sectors, communities, critical infrastructure, and the Nation are made more resilient when the consequences and impacts, the duration, and the financial and human costs to respond to and recover from adverse incidents are all reduced. County and city agencies should develop mitigation plans to establish interim and long-term actions designed to eliminate hazards or to reduce the effects of hazards that cannot be eliminated. As a minimum, mitigation should consider the following strategies: a. Remove or eliminate the hazard. b. Reduce or limit the amount or size of the hazard. c. Segregate the hazard from that which is to be protected. d. Reduce the likelihood of a hazard occurring. e. Establish hazard warning and communication procedures. f.
