Instructions for Using the Plan Review Crosswalk for Review of Standard State Hazard Mitigation Plans 

Attached is a Plan Review Crosswalk based on the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning Guidance Under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, published by FEMA, with 
revisions dated November 2006. This Plan Review Crosswalk is consistent with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-390), enacted October 30, 2000 and 44 CFR 
Part 201  Mitigation Planning, Interim Final Rule (the Rule), published February 26, 2002. 

SCORING SYSTEM 

N  Needs Improvement: The plan does not meet the minimum for the requirement. Reviewers comments must be provided. 

S  Satisfactory: The plan meets the minimum for the requirement. Reviewers comments are encouraged, but not required. 

Each requirement includes separate elements. All elements of a requirement must be rated Satisfactory in order for the requirement to be fulfilled and receive a summary 
score of Satisfactory. A Needs Improvement score on elements shaded in gray (recommended but not required) will not preclude the plan from passing. 

Optional matrices for assisting in the review of sections on profiling hazards and assessing vulnerability are found at the end of the Plan Review Crosswalk. 

The example below illustrates how to fill in the Plan Review Crosswalk. 

Example 

Assessing Vulnerability by Jurisdiction 

Requirement 201.4(c)(2)(ii): [The State risk assessment shall include an] overview and analysis of the States vulnerability to the hazards described in 
this paragraph (c)(2), based on estimates provided in local risk assessments  . The State shall describe vulnerability in terms of the jurisdictions most 
threatened by the identified hazards, and most vulnerable to damage and loss associated with hazard event.

Matrix A: Profiling Hazards 

This matrix can assist FEMA in scoring each hazard. States may find the matrix useful to ensure that their plan addresses each natural hazard that can affect the 
State. Completing the matrix is not required. 

Note: First, check which hazards are identified in requirement 201.4(c)(2)(i). Then, place a checkmark in either the N or S box for each applicable hazard. An 
N for any element of any identified hazard will result in a Needs Improvement score for this requirement. List the hazard and its related shortcoming in the 
comments section of the Plan Review Crosswalk.

Matrix B: Assessing Vulnerability 

This matrix can assist FEMA in scoring each hazard. States may find the matrix useful to ensure that their plan addresses each requirement. Note 
that this matrix only includes items for Requirements 201.4(c)(2)(ii) and 201.4(c)(2)(iii) that are related to specific natural hazards that can affect 
the State. Completing the matrix is not required. 

Note: First, check which hazards are identified in requirement 201.4(c)(2)(i). Then, place a checkmark in either the N or S box for each applicable hazard. An 
N for any element of any identified hazard will result in a Needs Improvement score for this requirement. List the hazard and its related shortcoming in the 
comments section of the Plan Review Crosswalk.
