4 pages on mitigation strategies.

Answer 1

Mitigation and improvement strategies

The development of mitigation strategies should flow from the risk management process with clear links to functional lead agencies, as identified in the SDMP, to ensure each risk and strategy is coordinated and managed by the responsible agency.

Prevention and mitigation strategies should be based on the risk assessment and can be considered in relation to:

land use planning and building codes

essential infrastructure

structural works

landscape and environment.

Examples of mitigation strategies include:

hazard specific control activities such as flood levees or bushfire mitigation strategies

design improvements to infrastructure or services

land use planning and design decisions that avoid developments and community infrastructure in areas prone to hazards

community awareness campaigns to increase knowledge of how to prepare for disaster events

community education programs to build knowledge of the appropriate actions to prepare for and respond to a disaster event

capital works such as levee bank construction to reduce the impacts of flooding

resilience activities including partnership building and engagement between sectors

annual programs (e.g. vegetation management around essential services and essential infrastructure such as power lines).

The concept of betterment, often considered predominantly within post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, should also form a key consideration pre-disaster through proactive mitigation strategies which aim to enhance and harden infrastructure to a more disaster resilient standard.
