Berkshire County Hazard Mitigation Plan
Hazard Mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to people and property from hazards and their effects. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 makes Mitigation Planning a REQUIREMENT to maintain eligibility for HMGP & PDM funds. These plans must describe the hazards and the vulnerability to the hazards for the region. The plans also must document mitigation activities for the hazards within the region.
