FEMA CROSSWALK
(Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Review Tool)
Plan Review Tools
The following Plan Review Tools are based on the Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide, published by FEMA, dated October 1, 2011. This Plan Review Tool is consistent with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-390), enacted October 30, 2000 and 44 CFR Part 201
– Mitigation Planning, Interim Final Rule (the Rule), published February 26, 2002.
The crosswalks are placed here to assist the reviewer in determining that the plan meets the requirements of the above legislation, and to provide a tool for the planners to use in
continuously evaluating and improving the plan and, more importantly, using the plan to effect changes in policy and property to minimize the impacts of both natural and man-made disasters.
Each Plan Review Tool has three sections:
a. The Regulation Checklist, which provides a summary of FEMA’s evaluation of whether the Plan has addressed all requirements;
b. The Plan Assessment, which provides the reviewer a forum to identify the Plan’s strengths and weaknesses; and c. The Multi-Jurisdiction Summary Sheet, which is used to document if each jurisdiction in a Plan has met all of the requirements of a complete Plan. On the form issued as of 2011, it is noted as an OPTIONAL form, but the Washington State Emergency
Management Division (EMD) has stated that it is mandatory for multi-jurisdiction plans.
The original Plan Review Tool was submitted to the EMD for an informal pre-evaluation
review in late 2016. The only commentary was that the Multi-Jurisdiction Summary Sheet was mandatory for multi-jurisdiction plans and needed to be filled out. Subsequently, three iterations of the Plan Review Tool have been submitted as follows:
