 Hazard Mitigation is defined as any sustained action that is
taken to eliminate or reduce risk to people and property from
the effects of natural disasters (volunteermatch.org).
 Mitigation is a proactive phase of the Emergency Management
four cycle phase in hopes to specifically dedicated to break
the cycle of damage, to reduce reconstruction and repeated
damage (etcog.org).
 Mitigation grants funding have increased in order to reduce
damage and reconstruction of damage property.
 FEMA has required agencies and organizations that apply for
the hazard mitigation grant, to have a documented plan on how
losses will be reduced or eliminated.
 What is a “Geohazard”?
• Earth processes (involving the lithosphere, hydrosphere
& atmosphere) that, upon interaction with human activity,
cause loss of life and property
It is important to understand the human element
 without it, there would be no hazard
 because of it, the science of geohazards becomes
more important every year
 mitigation: reduction/prevention
 The Earth’s population is increasing
 more people living in hazard-prone areas
 populations are becoming hyper-concentrated
 consumption of resources
 examples:
 today there are 6 billion people on Earth ( ~ 50% live in
cities)
 by 2025, there will be ~8 billion people (~ 66% in cities)
 of these cities, 40% are coastal
 prone to severe storm and tsunami damage
 and a large majority lie in areas subject to other
geohazards (for example volcanoes and earthquakes)
• Therefore, we must try to reduce (mitigate) the
hazards through:
• scientific study
• population education
• changes in engineering/building practices
• management plans and hazard response scenarios
 Hurricane
 Tornado
 Severe weather
 Thunderstorm
 Floods
 Tsunamis
 Wildfires
 Winter-storm
 Earthquake
 Landslide
 Drought
 Heat-wave
 Volcano
 Space weather
 To help mitigate the hazard we need to know:
 Frequency vs. Magnitude
• F: how often a given event occurs in a certain region
• M: how powerful (amount of energy released) an event
is
 for example, high M hazards happen with low F, but
are much more destructive
 Scope
• S: area affected by a given hazard
 local: landslides, floods, earthquakes, fire …
 regional: tsunamis, volcanoes, larger earthquakes,
cyclones …
 global: large volcanoes, global warming, meteorite
impacts …
Thanks for watching
