FEMA is hosting the Annual
Hazard Mitigation Workshop on May 31 through June 2, 2017 at the Emergency
Management Institute in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The purpose of this workshop is to
provide an environment for information exchange and discussion of success
stories and challenges associated with the delivery of the Hazard Mitigation
Assistance (HMA) programs. It will also promote enhanced understanding and
capacity to address floodplain management, HMA program requirements, and
provide tools and guidance to support decision making at all levels.
The theme for this workshop is
“Mitigate Together: Coordinating Resources for Resilient Communities” and is
devoted to the partnerships between our HMA and Floodplain Management
stakeholders. The workshop will be accomplished through three days of plenary
sessions, breakout sessions, and the sharing of program best practices and
project case studies. Participation in the workshop is by invitation
only.

Featured at the 2016 Annual Hazard Mitigation Stakeholder Workshop,
the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Division’s Gallery Walk provided stakeholders an
opportunity to give feedback on existing FEMA mitigation documents, brochures,
publications, and job aids. Over the past several months, FEMA staff has
consolidated the feedback collected and prioritized the task list to provide
better ease of use of the HMA resources. As
a first step, the staff is undergoing an HMA website update. The first
program’s website update, the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), will
be completed this summer. This update will provide a more organized and
centralized location for visitors to find information and resources pertinent
to the HMGP.
