All Hazards Mitigation Plan
This plan identifies the risks to West Virginia from natural hazards like flooding, winter storms and fire; quantifies their costs to reveal which hazards have the greatest impacts; coordinates various stakeholders in all levels of government, private enterprise, nonprofits, educational institutions, and individual citizens to examine the costs of disasters and their vulnerability to disasters; empowers stakeholders to identify and prioritize actions to mitigate the effects of disasters; and creates ways for the responsible stakeholders to implement these actions, monitor their progress and periodically reassess priorities.
