Application Assignment: Financing and Implementing Mitigation Strategies

One of the challenges local and state governments face in implanting mitigation strategies is finding a way to pay for them. It is one thing to identify the risk of potential structural failures, but quite another to actually mitigate that risk.

In this assignment, you adopt the perspective of the emergency manager in your community (choose a relatively small community, not a large metropolitan city such as Washington D.C. or New York City where the mitigation issues are very large scale in nature). If you live in one of these cities, please contact the Instructor about an appropriate community to use in lieu of either of these two cities. Research emergency mitigation strategies that have been or might be deployed in your community. Then think about the funding sources related to emergency mitigation strategies in your community. Finally, consider challenges related to funding for emergency mitigation strategies.

Emergency Preparedness Plan must include the following elements:

Emergency Preparedness Plan for a FICTITIOUS COMMUNITY.

The assignment: (5–7 pages)

  • Explain what emergency mitigation strategies have been or might be deployed in your community.
  • Describe two potential funding sources related to emergency mitigation strategies in your community.
  • For each potential funding source you selected, describe the key participants and stakeholders and the goals and objectives of the mitigation strategies as they relate to finance and budgeting.
  • Explain why you think the funding sources you identified are the most appropriate for the mitigation efforts you identified.
  • Explain at least two key challenges to accessing funding for emergency mitigation strategies in your community, and explain at least one strategy to address each challenge.
