Mitigation Matters Research Award Program

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) defines mitigation as the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. Effective mitigation requires that we all understand local risks and invest in long-term planning to reduce risks and enhance community well-being. In response to this need, the Natural Hazards Center created the Mitigation Matters Research Award Program. These awards provide funding to researchers to conduct studies on hazards mitigation.
