Having a mitigation plan in place as part of your communities planning documentation can help other planning efforts remain consistent with safety. Let's say that a new school is about to be built. Having a mitigation plan with storm protection actions helps provide a basis for why the school should be built to include a storm shelter for the community.

Mitigation plans also help identify the vulnerabilities in your community and proposing solutions that will help ensure that these can be secured. FEMA, Ohio, and many other organizations offer funding for mitigation projects. Having a hazard mitigation plan in place shows that your community is being proactive in thinking about mitigation, making it more likely that your projects will be funded.
