Tribes are required to make mitigation plans as a result of the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K). This Act put a national priority on hazard mitigation by requiring mitigation plans in order to be eligible for disaster mitigation grant programs from FEMA. Mole Lake has developed a plan to meet these requirements and maintain mitigation grant eligibility. This in no way obligates or commits the tribe or any local jurisdiction.
The plan is intended to assist in the reduction or elimination of long-term risk to people and property from natural disasters. Hazards covered in the plan include flooding, tornadoes, temperature extremes, wildfire and others.
