Hazard Mitigation Planning (HMP)

BOLDplanning has been a leader in the Hazard Mitigation Planning (HMP) industry since the enactment of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2000). The team possesses years of practical experience having led hundreds of jurisdictions through the plan development and FEMA review process.

Using lessons learned and client feedback, we have established a tested and proven mitigation planning program that works for local, tribal, and state governments, as well as school districts and universities.

Our models serve both as blueprints for future mitigation activities and tools to help communities plan for mitigation-friendly growth and sustainable development.

Comprehensive Solution

BOLDplanning manages the hazard mitigation planning process in a comprehensive manner. The planning and implementation processes are supported through on-site process facilitation, stakeholder outreach, data collection and analysis, plan writing, and strategy development.

Advanced GIS Capabilities

The BOLDplanning approach couples stakeholder participation and input with the use of top GIS technology. BOLDplanning uses the most accurate data available from state agencies, FEMA, NOAA, NRCS, NWS, SILVIS Labs, US Census, USACE, and the USGS.

Grant Writing Services

The BOLDplanning Mitigation Department offers grant-writing services related to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDM). To date, BOLDplanning has written grant applications awarded more than $5.6 million in funding.

BOLDplanning is my first choice [for Hazard Mitigation Planning] because of their great customer service and expertise.

We utilized BOLDplanning with our current plan. When it was time for FEMA approval, the plan was approved with some minor adjustments that were taken care of during a conference call with FEMA. The planner was involved with us during the entire process, and I believe the open communication allowed our current plan to gain a quick FEMA approval.

By going through the planning process, we as a community were able to identify areas that mitigation would benefit by reducing the risk for when a disaster occurs.
