21-1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />21. MITIGATION BEST PRACTICES <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />21.1 MITIGATION BEST PRACTICES <br />Catalogs of hazard mitigation best practices were developed that present a broad range of alternatives to be <br />considered for use by the planning partners, in compliance with 44 CFR (Section 201.6(c)(3)(ii)). One catalog <br />was developed for each hazard of concern evaluated in this plan (except sea level rise, for which mitigation <br />measures are presented in the following section on adaptive capacity). The catalogs present alternatives that are <br />categorized in two ways: <br /> By who would have responsibility for implementation: <br /> Individuals (personal scale) <br /> Businesses (corporate scale) <br /> Government (government scale). <br /> By what the alternative would do: <br /> Manipulate the hazard <br /> Reduce exposure to the hazard <br /> Reduce vulnerability to the hazard <br /> Build local capacity to respond to or prepare for the hazard. <br /> <br />Hazard mitigation actions recommended in this plan were selected from an analysis of the alternatives presented <br />in the catalogs. Some actions were developed independently by planning partners. The catalogs provide a baseline <br />of mitigation alternatives that are backed by a planning process, are consistent with the established goals and <br />objectives, and are generally within the capabilities of the planning partners to implement. They provide a list of <br />what could be considered to reduce risk from natural hazards. Not all actions listed are feasible for this plan. <br />Planning partners selected actions based their ability to implement the action. Actions in the catalog that are not <br />included in partners’ action plans were not selected for one or more of the following reasons: <br /> The action is not feasible. <br /> The action is already being implemented. <br /> The planning partner does not have the capability to implement the action. <br /> There is an apparently more cost-effective alternative. <br /> The action does not have public or political support. <br />The catalogs for each hazard are presented in Table 21-1 through Table 21-8.
