• Establishes a new requirement for state, local and tribal mitigation plans
• Authorizes HMGP funds for state, local and tribal mitigation planning
• Provides for states to receive increased HMGP funds (from 15% to 20%) if, at the time of the declaration of a major disaster, the states have in effect an approved State Mitigation Plan
DMA 2000 Section 322

Under the DMA2000, State Hazard Mitigation Plans must:
1) Identify natural hazards and assess vulnerability and risk
2) Support development of local mitigation plans
3) Provide for technical assistance to local and tribal governments for mitigation planning
4) Identify and prioritize mitigation actions that the State will support, as resources become available
State Hazard Mitigation Plans

• Mitigation Planning avoids ad-hoc approach to mitigation
• Mitigation Plans can articulate a vision of resiliency to natural hazards
• Mitigation Plans can help educate the public about hazards and mitigation
• Mitigation Plans can guide decision-makers and policy-makers
• Mitigation Plans can fulfill DMA2000 requirements and thereby qualify
for extra funding.
• Mitigation Plans can facilitate access to many other government programs
• Mitigation Plans can fulfill state planning requirements
