12. The National Mitigation Framework describes the benefits of being prepared by understanding risks and what actions can help address those risks. The second edition of the National Mitigation Framework was published by FEMA in 2016 and focuses on a culture of preparedness that is centered on risk and resilience. The document provides context for how the whole community works together and how mitigation efforts relate to all other parts of national preparedness. Focusing on the mitigation aspect of preparedness, the Framework addresses how the nation will develop, deploy and coordinate mitigation core capabilities to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters.
