Passive Mitigation

Passive hazard mitigation measures do not require any human intervention to be fully effective.

Examples of passive mitigation:

  • Flood - Elevation and relocation of structures
  • Wind - Improving roof sheathing and the connections between roof framing and walls
  • Earthquake - Installing or securing shear walls or cross bracing
