Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan: Naugatuck

The primary purpose of this natural hazard pre-disaster mitigation plan (HMP) is to identify natural hazards and risks, existing capabilities, and activities that can be undertaken to prevent loss of life and reduce property damages associated with the identified hazards. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA) requires local communities to have a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved mitigation plan in order to be eligible to receive post-disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) grants and Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program project grant funds.
