Discussion: Mitigation Measures and Your Community
Mitigation is an action taken to eliminate or reduce the impact of hazards which exist within a community. Let’s talk about your community:

Are there mitigation measures in place to prevent that hazard?
In your opinion, are the measures enough? What would you like to see changed or improved and why?
