Emergency Preparedness

Preparedness - Response - Mitigation - Recovery

Disaster mitigation is the ongoing effort to reduce or eliminate long-term risks to people and property from natural and man-made hazards. Key strategies include structural retrofitting, land-use planning, and public education.

Structural Mitigation

Retrofitting buildings: Strengthening old foundations and walls to survive earthquakes or heavy winds.

Elevating structures: Raising homes above flood levels in high-risk coastal or river zones.

Building barriers: Constructing levees, seawalls, and dams to block floodwaters or storm surges.

Non-Structural Mitigation

Zoning laws: Restricting new construction in dangerous areas like floodplains or active fault lines.

Building codes: Enforcing strict design rules for new structures to ensure wind and seismic resistance.

Public awareness: Educating communities on localized risks and encouraging protective insurance policies.
