Hazard Mitigation Planning for City of Annapolis

 To be eligible for FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Funds), state
 and local entities are required to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan for
 natural hazards. The purpose of the plan is to assess a community's
 vulnerabilities to natural hazards and prepare long-term strategies to 
 address them.

 Considering the destruction that Hurricane Isabel visited on the City of
 Annapolis in 2003, maintaining eligibility for these emergency funds was
 a priority. Specifically,Capuco Consulting:

• Collected data and statistics from a wide variety of sources
• Worked with state, county and city officials as well as business owners in the City and other agencies in development of the plan
• Prepared draft plan for public comment
• Participated in series of public meetings
• Prepared final report for delivery to Maryland Emergency Management Agency
