Involving natural resource experts in the hazard mitigation planning and project implementation process can help fill information gaps and aid in the identification and prioritization of viable nature-based mitigation actions to address identified risks. State agencies and conservation organizations have invested significantly in developing wetland assessment and prioritization tools that could be leveraged to aid in hazard mitigation planning. These tools can help to determine the location and priority of governmental expenditures in the restoration and protection of aquatic resources and nonprofit conservation efforts. This project, made possible through a Wetland Program Development Grant funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), aimed to identify opportunities for integrating these tools into hazard mitigation planning to promote the adoption of nature-based strategies.
