In response to the unacceptable loss of life and property from recent natural disasters, and the awesome prospect of even greater, catastrophic loss in the future, the National Mitigation Strategy (NMS) was developed to provide a conceptual framework to reduce these losses. Hazard mitigation involves recognizing and adapting to natural forces and is defined as any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property. Contents: why a NMS? designing the strategy; basic principles and goals of the NMS; major elements and strategic objectives of the NMS; mitigation action plan. Tables.

FEMA has developed a national approach to mitigating human & economic loss caused by disasters. This report summarizes research to clarify & document previous efforts to identify natural & technological hazards, & to assess associated risks. For specific natural & technological hazards, the report summarizes the state of scientific & technical knowledge on identification & the risks that have been or can be assigned to each hazard. FEMA's risk assessment methodology, Hazards U.S., is introduced. Also summarizes the National Mitigation Strategy & highlights from recent successes in each of the 5 major elements of the Strategy.

Landslides occur in all geographic regions of the nation in response to a wide range of conditions and triggering processes that include storms, earthquakes, and human activities. Landslides in the United States result in an estimated average of 25 to 50 deaths annually and cost $1 to 3 billion per year. In addition to direct losses, landslides also cause significant environmental damage and societal disruption. Partnerships for Reducing Landslide Risk reviews the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS)National Landslide Hazards Mitigation Strategy, which was created in response to a congressional directive for a national approach to reducing losses from landslides. Components of the strategy include basic research activities, improved public policy measures, and enhanced mitigation of landslides. This report commends the USGS for creating a national approach based on partnerships with federal, state, local, and non-governmental entities, and finds that the plan components are the essential elements of a national strategy. Partnerships for Reducing Landslide Risk recommends that the plan should promote the use of risk analysis techniques, and should play a vital role in evaluating methods, setting standards, and advancing procedures and guidelines for landslide hazard maps and assessments. This report suggests that substantially increased funding will be required to implement a national landslide mitigation program, and that as part of a 10-year program the funding mix should transition from research and guideline development to partnership-based implementation of loss reduction measures.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Mitigation Strategy presents 'A Vision for Safer Communities in the Future, ' looking toward the year 2010 as a time when 'All new structures, including critical facilities and infrastructure, will be built to national multi-hazard standards incorporated into building codes that have been adopted and enforced by municipalities, counties, and States.' The Strategy not only articulates FEMA's mitigation vision and goals, but defines strategic objectives for reaching those goals. In the area of applied research and technology transfer, FEMA and its partners are directed to 'evaluate state of the art technologies for the dissemination of research results to the user community.' A companion objective in the area of public awareness, training and education requires 'an assessment of the most effective use of information technologies such as the Internet and other media to disseminate information on natural hazards and mitigation. . . .' This paper is the outgrowth of a search for effective ways of meeting those objectives. This paper explores the feasiblity of encouraging practicing architects and engineers to incorporate research findings in the design of new structures by providing training on-demand, in the form of Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS), via the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW).
