The State Hazard Mitigation Plan is designed to reduce Alaska's vulnerability to disasters. Mitigation before disaster strikes is essential, as hazards in Alaska can not be eliminated. There will always be the potential for an earthquake or flooding. However, the amount of damage and destruction caused by these hazard events can be limited through mitigation. A long-term commitment to hazard mitigation, through the development and adoption of this plan, will make Alaska a safer place for Alaskan's to live and work. The 409 plan was approved by FEMA in March of 2002 and adopted in August 2002. Version 2 (V2) is currently being updated to meet the criteria of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and 44 CFR parts 210 and 206. A draft of V2 and other documents relating to the development of the plan are located on this website. The plan is being developed by DHS&EM with the help of the State Hazard Mitigation Plan Advisory Group. For more information, please contact Mark Roberts, the State Hazard Mitigation Officer.
