ODPS Ohio Emergency Management Agency State Of Ohio Enhanced Mitigation Plan

State of Ohio Hazard Mitigation Plan

The State of Ohio Hazard Mitigation Plan was updated May 16, 2008. In accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, a state must update its hazard mitigation plan every three years. Currently, the State of Ohio Hazard Mitigation Plan is considered a "Standard Plan" that also meets the Severe Repetitive Loss Program addendum requirements. This means:

• Ohio communities are eligible for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program which makes available an amount equal to 15% of the Federal disaster costs for mitigation projects.
• Ohio communities are eligible for the Public Assistance (PA) program after a Federal disaster declaration. PA funds are utilized by communities to reimburse for certain costs incurred as a result of a disaster.
• Ohio communities receive a more favorable cost share under the Severe Repetitive Loss and Flood Mitigation Assistance Programs than would otherwise be available.
