What kind of disasters can be mitigated against?

Mitigation means taking action now to reduce or prevent future damage later.

There are three important elements to help reduce the impact of disasters on our nation's citizens and communities:​

What is

Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. In order for mitigation to be effective we need to take action now—before the next disaster—to reduce human and financial consequences later (analyzing risk, reducing risk, and insuring

against risk). It is important to know that

disasters can happen at any time and

any place and if we are not

prepared, consequences

can be fatal.

Mitigation

  • Identifying hazards and assessing risks and vulnerabilities;

  • Taking action to mitigate risks (reduce or prevent damage); and

  • Telling the Best Practice story of how it worked.
