8. WHAT IS DISASTER PREPAREDNESS?
Disaster preparedness reduces the risk of
disaster and helps communities and families
know where to take refuge and how to care
for basic medical issues. It can also help
alleviate some of the devastation by reducing
the impact of a disaster.
For example, homeowners who live in a fire
zone in the forest can clear away underbrush
from their homes to help prevent future
forest fires. They can store valuables in fire
proof boxes.

9. MITIGATION MEASURES
Various mitigation measures include:
 Hazard mapping
 Adoption and enforcement of land
use and zoning practices
 Implementing and enforcing building
codes
 Flood plain mapping
 Reinforced tornado safe rooms
 Burying of electrical cables to prevent
ice build-up
 Raising of homes in flood-prone
areas
 Disaster mitigation public awareness
programs
 Insurance programs
