The increasing numbers of jurisdictions participating in hazard mitigation planning activities has not guaranteed the implementation of mitigation strategies and practices at the local level. While several recent studies suggest a disconnection between mitigation planning and practice, little is known about the actual adoption and usage of mitigation practice by local jurisdictions. The objective of this study is to empirically investigate mitigation policy practices at the local level. The study specifically seeks to: a) Examine the adoption and the implementation of broad-based hazard mitigation policies that can enhance hazard mitigation within local jurisdictions (counties and municipalities) along the Atlantic and Gulf coastal; b) Examine the influence of local capacity and commitment in the adoption and extent of hazard mitigation regulations, policies, and strategies; and c) Focus on the broader socio-political ecology for planning practice by examining the consequences of factors on various jurisdicational mitigation practices and profiles.This project will provide an assessment of the effectiveness of federal policy designed to improve mitigation, as well as direction for improving such policies through the assessment of factors related to implementation, including the consistency of actions at different jurisdictional levels, as well as the commitment and capacity of local jurisdictions to act. Broad dissemination to both academic and practitioner audiences through the development of a website and publication of best mitigation practices and model ordinances promises the return of the findings to the audiences who may best benefit from them. The findings of this research will have a direct bearing on the content of educational activities, directly influencing the broader planning community.

越来越多的管辖区参与减灾规划活动，但这并不能保证减灾战略和做法在地方一级得到执行。虽然最近的几项研究表明，缓解规划和实践之间的脱节，很少有人知道的地方司法管辖区的实际采用和使用的缓解做法。本研究的目的是实证研究在地方一级的缓解政策的做法。 （a）审查通过和执行基础广泛的减灾政策，以加强地方管辖范围内的减灾工作（县和市）沿着大西洋和海湾沿岸; B）审查当地能力和承诺的影响，在采用和程度的减灾法规，政策和战略;以及c）通过检查各种管辖区减灾实践和概况因素的后果，重点关注规划实践的更广泛的社会政治生态。该项目将评估旨在改善减灾的联邦政策的有效性，以及通过评估与执行有关的因素，包括不同司法级别行动的一致性以及地方司法机构采取行动的承诺和能力，为改进此类政策指明方向。 通过建立一个网站和出版最佳缓解做法和示范条例，向学术界和从业人员广泛传播，有望将研究结果反馈给最能从中受益的受众。这项研究的结果将对教育活动的内容产生直接影响，直接影响更广泛的规划界。
