Mitigation Plan Draft
On October 30, 2000, the President signed into law the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, also known as DMA 2000. Among its other features, DMA 2000 established a requirement that in order to remain eligible for federal disaster assistance and grant funds, local and state governments must develop and adopt hazard mitigation plans.
The document includes a detailed characterization of natural hazards in Morris County; a risk assessment that describes potential losses to physical assets, people, and operations; a set of goals, objectives, strategies, and actions that will guide Morris County mitigation activities; and a detailed plan for implementing and monitoring the Plan.
