Natural Hazard Mitigation Resources

 

This webpage hosts a suite of resources related to connecting water quality management and hazard mitigation planning. 
 

Training Resource:

Creating Co-Benefits Through Hazard Mitigation Planning and Water Resource Management

This module is intended for water quality and hazard mitigation professionals that are interested in integrating water quality issues and/or nature-based solutions into state or local Hazard Mitigation Plans (HMPs), and highlights the benefits of working across water quality and hazard mitigation programs. Modules in this series can be used as training tools to help planners from both worlds explore activities of mutual interest and benefit. Case studies and examples are provided to assist hazard mitigation planners with integrating water resource programs into HMPs and help watershed planners understand the synergies between water resource plans and HMPs.
