2007 Nevada Standard Hazard Mitigation Plan 20Oct07
ii
Executive Summary
The standard State Hazard Mitigation Plan was written by The Nevada Division of Emergency
Management (NDEM) and approved by FEMA in 2004. In 2007, the Plan was completely revised in
format and content. To accomplish this, DEM formed the Nevada Hazard Mitigation Planning
Committee (NHMPC). A Planning Subcommittee was thereafter established to review all sections of
the Plan and assist in its updating.
This plan is a living document. Improvements and modifications to the plan will be made during the
ensuing two-year period leading up to the next revision deadline. The Subcommittee noted during the
current revision process, that the lack of NDEM staffing and fiscal constraints impeded the efficient
development of the written Plan. NDEM staff and Cynthia Bagley, a volunteer who devoted much of
her time from January to August in the revision of this document, reformatted the plan’s structure and
provided a skeleton for the Subcommittee. The Subcommittee began meeting monthly in June of
2007 and continued until the completion of the revised Nevada SHMP in September of this year.
As the plan must meet the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulation (44 CFR 201) those
requirements were set out for each section. The Subcommittee was tasked to provide information and
direction relevant to their expertise and authority. Thereafter recommendations were made by the
Subcommittee to NDEM staff. Changes as recommended were resubmitted to the Subcommittee at
subsequent meetings. This ensured final review and approval of each recommendation by the
members of the Subcommittee. It should be noted that the membership of the Subcommittee
expanded and contracted based upon the expertise required for each element of the Plan. For
example: Division of Health and Human Services provided expertise during the capability assessment
relevant to funding sources and program management.
It is anticipated that this plan will provide the basis and guidance for the hazard mitigation
program necessary throughout the State of Nevada. Its goal is to achieve a lessening of the loss
of life and property and the enjoyment of a safer environment by its citizens.
