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.
