LMS 2025-2030 PART 1: THE STRATEGY <br />POLICIES, ORDINANCES AND PROGRAMS AFFECTING MITIGATION 5 <br />There are many federal, state and county laws and policies that affect hazard mitigation <br />and all the members of the LMSWG. Some of those are: <br />Federal - <br />1 . The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, P.L. 93-288 as <br />amended (The Stafford Act) is interpreted by Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regula- <br />tion (44 CFR) and governs FEMA and emergency management and sets forth the <br />federal concepts for hazard mitigation. It also defines the Coastal Barriers Resources <br />Act (44 CFR 206 subpart J) and describes floodplain and environmental management <br />(Parts 9 and 10). <br />2. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA-2K) has also redefined parts of The Stafford <br />Act and those changes have been incorporated into this document. Much of FEMA <br />has been further redefined by the "Post -Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act <br />of 2006," which was enacted by Congress and signed into law by the President in the <br />fall of 2006. <br />3. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the Community Rating System <br />(CRS) FLA-15, July 1996, sets up a community rating system for flood insurance of- <br />fering incentives for communities and credits for identified floodplain management ac- <br />tivities. <br />4. National Fire Code, 1993 and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code define uniform fire safety <br />standards adopted by rule by the State Fire Marshal. <br />5. Title 15 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which defines the Coastal Zone Manage- <br />ment Act (15 CFR Parts 923 and 930). <br />6. Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulation which defines the National Environmental <br />Policy Act including such mitigation measures as included in the National Emission <br />Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (Part 61), Toxic Substances Control Act <br />(Part 763), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and CERCLA (the Super - <br />fund). <br />7. Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations that defines the Occupational Safety and <br />Health Act containing many hazard mitigation measures. <br />8. Presidential Decision Directives 39 and 62 are the authorities directing the develop- <br />ment of terrorism response. <br />5 EMAP 2016 Standard 4.2.4 (1) <br />P1-16 <br />
