Assignment:

Decide on a town/county/state to research. It is recommended that you select an area that you are familiar with so you will understand the dynamics, culture, hazards/threats, government, and politics of the area.

Find a copy of your selected jurisdiction's mitigation plan and analyze the plan.

Refer to the appropriate FEMA Mitigation Review Guide (if you selected a city/county, you will use the Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide, if you selected a state, you will use the State Mitigation Plan Review Guide) along with the other resources provided to analyze your town's/city's/state's plan.

Instructions

1. Provide a short background of your town's/city's/state's location population level, key industries, etc. Summarize this in a paragraph and any appropriate tables/graphs. Use citations to support the facts (ex: population size, demographics, etc.).

2. Describe the mitigation plan (summarize in a paragraph).

What possible threats has the plan identified?
What natural hazards and man-made hazards is the plan preparing for in the mitigation plan?
Is there a mitigation planning committee identified in the plan?
Is the committee diverse?
Are there individuals from various disciplines/fields/agencies who sit on the committee?
Does the plan identify it stakeholders were involved in the mitigation planning process?
Has the plan been updated recently?

3. Analyze the plan.

After you have described the plan, analyze the plan using what you have learned so far:

Does this plan seem to be relevant for the jurisdiction it was developed for?
Are the identified hazards appropriate?
Does the plan identify current or evolving hazards in your area?
Does this plan seem to sit on a shelf or does it seem to be used often? How does it compare to the FEMA guidance?
What are some political barriers that might influence mitigation (positive or negative) in your area?
Summarize this in a paragraph and use citiations to support your analysis.
