Hinweis der Redaktion
- The Division of Emergency Management traces it program to the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950. In 1975, the Kansas legislature repealed old provisions and reshaped the agency’s focus from pure war-time civil defense activities to preparedness for all hazards, emergencies or disasters. Federal statute is the Stafford Act. The State Statute which gives us our authority is Chapter 48, Article 9.
- Mitigation refers to activities that are designed to: Reduce or eliminate risks to persons or property, or Lessen the actual or potential effects or consequences of an incident. Mitigation measures: May be implemented prior to, during, or after an incident. Are often developed in accordance with lessons learned from prior incidents. Can include efforts to educate governments, businesses, and the public on measures that they can take to reduce loss and injury. Mitigation is accomplished in conjunction with a hazard analysis (which will be covered in Unit 4). A hazard analysis helps to identify: What events can occur in and around the community? The likelihood that an event will occur. The consequences of the event in terms of casualties, destruction, disruption to critical services, and costs of recovery. To be successful, mitigation measures must be developed into an overall mitigation strategy that considers ways to reduce hazard losses together with the overall risk from specific hazards and other community goals.
