(Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5165, as 

amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act 

of 2000 (DMA 2000), Public Law 106–

approaches to mitigation planning. The

comprehensive approach to disaster loss 

reduction. Title 44 CFR part 201 

provides the mitigation planning 

requirements for State, local and Indian 

Tribal governments to identify the 

natural hazards that impact them, to 

identify actions and activities to reduce 

any losses from hazards, and to 

establish a coordinated process to 

implement the plan, taking advantage of 

a wide-range of resources.
