The City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) and Tlingit & Haida are developing a Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP). This Plan will be an update of CBJ's 2012 HMP and a first-edition plan for Tlingit & Haida for their Juneau citizens, lands, and assets. We have contracted Fairweather Science, LLC to facilitate and guide the Planning Team through the HMP update process.
Once completed, the CBJ and Tlingit & Haida will adopt the HMP and it will be submitted to the State of Alaska Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (DHS&EM) and then to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for final review and approval. Once the adopted plan is approved by FEMA, the CBJ and Tlingit & Haida will be eligible to apply for grant funding to protect the City and Tribe's assets and residents from natural hazards.
For more information about mitigation planning, please see FEMA guidance here: https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/risk-management/hazard-mitigation-planning/regulations-guidance

If you have any questions or comments, please contact the HMP Planning Team Lead, Rob Dumouchel (rob.dumouchel@juneau.gov) or our contractor, Laura Young at laura.young@fairweather.com.
