What is Mitigation? Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. In order for mitigation to be effective we need to take action nowâbefore the next disasterâto reduce human and financial consequences later (analyzing risk, reducing risk, and insuring against risk).
MITIGATION. 1  Mitigation â actions taken to prevent or reduce the risk to life, property, social and economic activities, and natural resources from natural hazards â is central to the Decade initiative. Awareness, education, preparedness, and prediction and warning systems can reduce the disruptive impacts of a natural disaster on communities. Mitigation measures such as adoption of zoning, land-use practices, and building codes are needed, however, to prevent or reduce actual damage from hazards.
