Kawerak Inc. has been awarded funding to complete Tribal Hazard Mitigation Plans (THMP) for communities in the region. Once completed, the THMPs will be submitted to FEMA for review and approval, and then adoption by the community.  Once the adopted plan is approved by FEMA, each Tribe will be eligible to apply for grant funding to protect your community's assets from natural hazards. For more information about mitigation planning, please see FEMA guidance here: http://www.fema.gov/mitigation-planning-laws-regulations-guidance

Fairweather Science, LLC was contracted by Kawerak Inc., to assist the tribes with preparing FEMA approved tribal hazard mitigation plans.

The THMP will:
1. Describe natural hazards that occur in your community.
2. Identify the assets (people and facilities {infrastructure}) within the tribal jurisdiction at risk from natural hazards.
3. Identify and prioritize projects to mitigate the potential damages to infrastructure. 

The purpose of this plan is to inform your community of the vulnerabilities to natural hazards; better plan development within the community; and to enable the jurisdiction to be eligible to apply for grant funding. Those projects prioritized will be pursued for implementation.

Documentation of the planning process and ongoing public participation is a crucial part of this project.
