The City of Philadelphia is in the process of updating the Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). The following survey, produced by the Office of Emergency Management, is designed to help identify general needs for hazard mitigation within the City of Philadelphia pertaining to your organization or industry and identify projects that may be helping to address those needs. This survey is for stakeholders, such as fire, police, EMS, schools, churches, community organizations, etc. that are located within the City.

Hazard Mitigation is any action taken to reduce the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters (natural, technological, and manmade). These include flooding, severe storms, severe winter storms, extreme temperatures, and others.

The Hazard Mitigation Plan provides a “blueprint” by which local governments can make coordinated efforts towards reducing losses from natural hazards. It is required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in order to be eligible for federal grant funding for public and private mitigation projects.
