| | PDM Funding |
 | | Funding is available on cost-shared basis to assist in the implementation of pre-disaster hazard mitigation measures that are cost-effective and are designed to reduce injuries, loss of life, and damage and destruction of property, including damage to critical services and facilities under the jurisdiction of the states or local governments. |
 | | Like other FEMA mitigation programs, the PDM program must be administered in an equitable and impartial manner, without discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, nationally, sex, age, or economic status. |
 | | Be cost-effective and substantially reduce the risk of future damage, hardship, loss, or suffering resulting from a major disaster, consistent with 44 CFR 206.434(c)(5) and related guidance, and have a Benefit-Cost Analysis that results in a benefit-cost ratio of 1.0 or greater. |
