Reducing Risks
Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. This is achieved through risk analysis, which results in information that provides a foundation for mitigation activities that reduce risk, and flood insurance that protects financial investment. Mitigation is any action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from natural hazards and terrorism.
