HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING
leave a Legacy
What is it?
Hazard mitigation focuses on reducing the loss of life and property by minimizing the impact of disasters before they occur. It involves identifying risks, implementing measures to protect communities, and developing strategies to lessen the effects of natural and man-made hazards. Proactive hazard mitigation planning ensures that communities are better prepared to withstand future emergencies and recover more quickly.
What do we do?
The Truman Council obtains and administers grant opportunities for a wide variety of hazard mitigation projects. We also assist in developing hazard mitigation plans, conducting risk assessments, providing technical assistance, and promoting community resilience. Our efforts include collaborating with local communities to implement mitigation strategies that enhance safety and preparedness.
