Question: What is a Hazard Mitigation Plan?
Answer: A Hazard Mitigation Plan is prepared by local governments in response to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390). These plans act as a keyway to federal funding afforded under the Robert T. Stafford Act. These plans meet statutory requirements that include:

• Organizing resources
• Assessing Risk
• Engaging the public
• Identifying Goals and Objectives
• Identifying actions

Question: What is meant by “mitigation”?
Answer: Hazard mitigation is any sustained action taken to permanently eliminate or reduce long-term risks to human life and property from natural hazards. Sustained action means an action that is long term in its impact. This is an essential component of emergency management, along with preparedness, response, and recovery. Disasters can have significant impacts on communities. They can destroy or damage life, property and infrastructure, local economies, and the environment.

Talking Cedar, Chehalis Tribal Enterprise’s (CTE) latest project featuring a distillery-brewery-restaurant, is nearing completion. The project broke ground in April 2019 and was scheduled to be completed this spring. COVID-19 has delayed our completion, but we anticipate opening for business this summer.

The restaurant will have 200 seats and provide upscale pub food alongside beer and spirits. Talking Cedar is part of CTE’s continuing economic development programs, which creates job opportunities for tribal members.
