 A FEMA update from STARR: "FEMA’s Region X Mitigation Planning Team has released Integrating the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan into a Community’s Comprehensive Plan: A Guidebook for Local Governments.
This guidebook was developed by FEMA to explain and demonstrate how to integrate natural hazard mitigation concepts into local comprehensive plans. The guidebook describes the benefits of integration, provides examples of how it can be accomplished, reviews existing state authorities and regulation, and highlights successful best practices in Region X." The Washington examples include Chehalis, Hoquiam, Kittitas County, Skagit County, and Thurston County. This is sure to be helpful to any planners looking to add more natural hazard planing to their comprehensive plans.
