1: Reduce Loss
Reduce loss of life and property Other Information:
FEMA will work with its partners to plan, mitigate, and prepare when the opportunity to reduce loss of life and property is
greatest—before disasters strike. FEMA will ensure that mitigation and preparedness plans are in place for both catastrophic
and noncatastrophic disasters, and will work with Federal agencies, States, Territories, Tribal Nations, local governments,
and first responders to assess and build capability. As part of this effort, FEMA will provide hazard and risk information
and foster training and education of emergency responders and emergency managers, while doing all it can to promote good risk
management decisions. Performance Measure 1.1 By Fiscal Year 2008, the average annual loss of life from fire-related events
is reduced by 15%over the 1998 annual baseline of 4,500. Performance Measure 1.2 By Fiscal Year 2008, $10 billion in potential
property losses, disaster, and other costs have been avoided. Performance Measure 1.3 By Fiscal Year 2008, 100% of States,
Territories, and Tribal Nations report meeting collaboratively established, all-hazard, emergency management readiness capability
standards.
