Mitigation Framework Leadership Group (MitFLG) Briefing Deck Aly Briscoe, MitFLG Secretariat, FEMA Mitigation Framework Leadership Group
MitFLG Overview The Mitigation Framework Leadership Group (MitFLG) provides a coordinating structure for mitigation provides a coordinating structure for mitigation across the Federal government and with partners in mitigation nationally. The MitFLG operates according to the National Mitigation Framework (NMF), one of the five frameworks under Presidential Policy Directive 8 on National Preparedness and the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). The MitFLG s mission is to strengthen the nation s disaster resilience by expanding mitigation disaster resilience by expanding mitigation awareness, coordination, and action. awareness, coordination, and action. Mitigation is a cornerstone of a culture of preparedness against disasters. strengthen the nation s Figure 1: Mitigation Core Capabilities Mitigation Framework Leadership Group 2
MitFLG Responsibilities The MitFLG s areas of responsibility include the following: Promoting and facilitating the coordination of mitigation efforts across the federal government and with state, local, tribal, and territorial governments (SLTTs) and the private sector.

National Mitigation Investment Strategy Oct 2022 Mitigation Framework Leadership Group
National Mitigation Investment Strategy The National Mitigation Investment Strategy provides a single, national strategy for advancing mitigation investment to reduce risks posed by natural hazard (i.e., floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and earthquakes) and increasing resilience to natural hazards. The MitFLG is responsible for guiding implementation of this strategy, which will involve the whole community. In order to support implementation, the MitFLG has created Task Forces In order to support implementation, the MitFLG has created Task Forcesto carry out specific initiatives as recommended in the Investment Strategy.

Investment Strategy Goals Show How Mitigation Investments Reduce Risk: Show How Mitigation Investments Reduce Risk: Objective: Provide stakeholders with a foundational understanding of how mitigation investment protects what they value. Goal 1 Coordinate Mitigation Investments to Reduce Risk: Coordinate Mitigation Investments to Reduce Risk: Objective: Foster better understanding of risks (quality risk data) to support investment decisions, assure alignment of programs and incentives toward risk reduction goals, and reduce complexity in access to investment funds. https://fema.zoomgov.com/j/1617608484 Goal 2 Make Mitigation Investment Standard Practice: Make Mitigation Investment Standard Practice: Objective: Assure that national stakeholders are participating in mitigation activities, especially decisions to enhance building codes and infrastructure (lifeline) standards and the use of financial products that link to mitigation (insurance, cat bonds, resilience bonds).

MitFLG Task Forces Oct 2022 Mitigation Framework Leadership Group
Building Codes Task Force Initiative Initiative Need Need Impact Impact Support the National Initiative to Advance Building Codes Increase alignment, efficiency, and effectiveness of federal programs Establish building code requirements for federal programs and policies Coordinate with FEMA Building Sciences division and other stakeholders to accomplish tasking directed by the Executive Office of the President Pursue concrete courses of action to close gaps in the federal approach to natural hazard mitigation Incentivize the adoption of building codes at the state and local level via federal investments, policies, and programs 14 Mitigation Framework Leadership Group
Place-Based Technical Assistance Task Force Initiative Initiative Need Need Impact Impact Use pilot project selection criteria based on lessons learned from the Wasatch Front URM Risk Reduction Strategy project Develop place-based processes, which can be replicated and applied across multiple levels, including state and local to address multi- objective risk reduction, long- term community resilience, and climate resilience that leads to implementable, equitable solutions. Provide high-quality and responsive technical assistance through interagency coordinated efforts to selected underserved and disadvantaged communities Identify how potential projects can showcase the value of coordinated place-based technical assistance Develop common tools, resources, and guidance for resilience technical assistance and capacity building across the federal government. 15 Mitigation Framework Leadership Group
