Project Impact, FEMA's nationwide effort to create disaster-resistant communities, encourages cooperation among businesses, government officials, and citizens to reduce community vulnerability. This guidebook was created to assist Project Impact communities in forming hazard mitigation strategies. The first half of the document outlines mitigation options for floods, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, windstorms, heavy snows, and volcanoes, including property protection, land-use activities, community outreach, landscaping techniques, and regulation. The second half presents case studies of various community mitigation projects, including water main relocation due to landslide hazard, wind mitigation, creek restoration, wildfire mitigation, property acquisition, and seismic retrofitting
