4 1. WELCOME AND OVERVIEW
What is Hazard Mitigation? 5 • Hazard mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to life and property resulting from natural and human-made hazards
What is a State Hazard Mitigation Plan? 6 • A stakeholder-driven, living document that the state, counties and planning partners use to reduce their vulnerability to hazards • Guides risk-informed decision making at the state level • Guides local governments engaged in mitigation planning, including vulnerable and underserved communities
Why Develop a Hazard
Mitigation Plan? 7
Plans
• Opportunity for plan integration
and stakeholder/interagency
coordination Procedures Policies
• Part of eligibility for FEMA HMP
mitigation grants
• Increased focus on what actions
will help move towards long-term Funding Resilience

9 2. PROJECT INTRODUCTION
2023 PA Hazard Mitigation Plan 10 • It is time to begin the five-year comprehensive plan update • Current plan expires in October 2023 • Will use the next year to collaborate on updating the plan
2018 PA Hazard Mitigation Plan 11 • Reflects PA’s integrated efforts to identify and mitigate hazards • Last updated comprehensively in 2019 and received Enhanced status approval • Annual reviews over the past five years
The Enhanced Plan Status Reflects the
Work Underway in PA 12
• The plan shows that PA has:
• Developed a comprehensive
mitigation program
• Can manage increased funding for
mitigation goals
• Makes the state eligible to receive
more funds following a disaster
declaration
• We intend to stay enhancedNew State Mitigation Planning Policy Guide 13 • Provides updated guidance on meeting requirements • Supports program integration • Aligns with the National Mitigation Framework and National Mitigation Investment Strategy • Supersedes the State Plan Review Guide and State Mitigation Plan Review Guide Policy
Priorities 14 • Plan update process will comply with this new guidance • Continued emphasis on planning for climate change mitigation and adaptation • Conducting an inclusive process • Continuing to capture integrated efforts across programs and sectors
This is a Statewide Plan,
Not a PEMA Plan 15
• We want your input on the:
• Planning process
• Participants
• Data& Analysis
• Opportunities to Reduce
Risk
• Implementation Strategies
• Our goal is to keep you
informed as we go
• Plan and process may
inform future PA policies
and procedures to reduce
riskThis is a Team Effort 16
This is a Team Effort 17
• What plans, procedures,
and data does your
agency use to:
• Identify and assess risks?
• Monitor capabilities?
• Define actions and next
steps?This is a Team Effort 18
• Let’s integrate these
efforts
• We intend to publish our
data sources, links to
datasets, and include an
executive summary for
quick reference.
• Is there another format/
specific information that
you will be looking for
when you draft your next
plan updates?PEMA Role 19 The state is responsible for: • Serving as the link between federal, other state, and local governments for floodplain management and NFIP compliance • Leveraging this plan to encourage risk reduction activities
Our Roles 20
• Facilitating communication in person, by webinar, and through emails
• Documenting the great work underway at each state agency as it applies
PEMA & Contractors Plan drafters • Updating the plan to align with our process, updating our process based on
input gathered during the plan

Process2018 Identified Hazards 27
Updating 2023 Hazards 28
• Focused updates to pandemic
and extreme temperature hazards
• Are there any new hazards to
include?
• Are there any hazards to remove
or combine?
• How do we want to assess
impact?
• Life safety, critical facilities,
economic functioning, health, etc.Identified Data Sources 29
• Plan to use publicly available
statewide data where possible
• Will reference statewide map
viewers
• PADEP, DCNR, Penn State Flood
Risk Tool, etc.
• Project Team may reach out for
non-public data
• Does your organization host any
data that would be useful in this
plan update process?
• Sharing data and PII
considerations
• Not all data used in the planning
process can be publicly sharedCollecting and Prioritizing Data Sources 30
• Are there any data sources you
currently use that could help
inform this plan update?
• What other data sources could
augment the process?
• Who else might have relevant
data?
https://dep.pa.gov/EJViewerCapabilities 31 • Looking at how different organizations and stakeholders can address risk and where they might need help • Providing feedback through the Capability Assessment Form
Agency Specific Capabilities 32
Coordination Across Agencies 33 • PA State Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan • PA Climate Action Plan (DEP) • PennDOT Extreme Weather Vulnerability Study • PA Game Commission 2015-2025 Pennsylvania Wildlife Action Plan • Other plans/studies?
Mitigation Strategy 34
• Assesses hazards and vulnerabilities to inform overall risk
• Compare risk to your capabilities to consider how to address the risk
• Identify mitigation actions to try to close any gaps.
