Keep Tribal Members and Partners Involved

FEMA and the American Planning Association have published a number of detailed resources that can help you integrate mitigation into other decisions. Integrating Hazard Mitigation Into Local Planning: Case Studies and Tools for Community Officials (2013) provides practical guidance on how to incorporate risk-reduction strategies into existing local plans, policies, codes, and programs that guide community development or redevelopment patterns. Plan Integration: Linking Local Planning Efforts (2015) is a step-by-step guide developed to help communities not only analyze their local plans for existing integration, but also further improve those efforts, including interagency coordination. Hazard Mitigation: Integrating Best Practices into Planning (PAS 560) (2010) seeks to close the gap that exists between hazard mitigation planning and other local planning and regulatory land use processes.
