The Tribal Plan Review Guide (or “the Guide”) is the official interpretation of the Tribal Mitigation Planning Requirements, found at Code of Federal Regulations, Title 44, Section 201.7. The Guide focuses on requirements and simplifies the review process using:

• A consistent, streamlined format
• More clarity regarding the requirements
• Fewer redundancies

The Guide supersedes the 2010 Tribal Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning Guidance, but there are no changes to the underlying regulations. The Guide lays out the requirements, and assists Tribes in understanding these requirements. It is also a resource for FEMA plan reviewers.

Note: 44 CFR Section 201.7 and the Tribal Mitigation Plan Review Guide apply to federally recognized Tribes (including Alaska Native Villages). Non-federally recognized Tribes do not have the option of applying directly to FEMA for assistance. FEMA treats non-federally recognized Tribes like other local entities under 44 CFR Section 201.6 and the Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide.
