The Disaster Mitigation Act of <br />2000 (DMA 2000) requires that all communities adopt an approved Mitigation Action Plan prior to November 1,2004. <br />The proposed Hays County Mitigation Plan will fulfill the requirements of DMA 2000 and meet the eligibility requirements <br />for funding under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. <br /> <br />Hays County and several individual communities in the County participate in the National Flood Insurance Program <br />(NFIP). The purpose of the NFIP is to identify and mitigate the impact of floods and natural disasters including the <br />regulation of development within special flood hazards areas, which in turn, allows citizens within each community to <br />purchase flood insurance at an affordable rate. <br /> <br />Please take a few minutes to identify your hazard concerns using this questionnaire and return it to the Hays County <br />Emergency Manager by September 1, 2003.
