FEMA Equity and Mitigation PlanningMitigation planning creates a pathway to reduce vulnerabilities. State, local, tribal and territorial governments engage underserved communities, populations, neighborhoods, and census tracts as mitigation plans are developed and updated. Together, stakeholders participate in mitigation planning to develop and adopt mitigation solutions.

Updated mitigation policies (State Mitigation Planning Policy Guide and Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide) have equity considerations for underserved communities and socially vulnerable populations woven throughout the elements, specifically in the requirements for planning process, risk assessments and the mitigation strategy.
