Tribal Hazard Mitigation Plan Open for Public Comment
The purpose of Tribal Hazard Mitigation is to develop a long‑term strategy by which tribal governments can reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. Hazard mitigation is defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as “any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards". Hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive and long-term plan that is developed before a disaster occurs. FEMA recognizes that the tribal right of self-governance substantiates that the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi is a sovereign entity. In order to receive funding from FEMA, for projects outside of disaster relief support, governing bodies are required to maintain Hazard mitigation plans.
