Assess a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Assume you are part of a team that has been asked to assess a local or Tribal hazard mitigation plan (2019 City of Emeryville, CA Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update or 2018 Seneca Nation of Indians HMP) in terms of its potential ability to create local hazard mitigation capacity and commitment.
For this assignment – use the FEMA Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide to assess if the plan meets the guidelines offered by FEMA.
For Assignment 2 – you will be required to review either the Emeryville, California Hazard Mitigation Plan or Seneca Nation HMP against the standards in the FEMA Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide. There is also a FEMA Tribal Guide you may use for reference if you choose the tribal plan.
For the assignment you will submit:
1 – a completed Regulation Checklist (Located in Appendix A, Section 1 of the FEMA Guide) and
2 – a minimum of 4 page paper discussing your thoughts about the plan including but not limited to the following:
What strengths were demonstrated by the plan?
Source attatched
What was missing from the plan?
What needed further explanation or clarification?
Synopsis of whether the plan met the FEMA standards.
Any other observations from your analysis of the plan.
