Mitigation 66
Mitigation 66 :
The lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters. Comment: The adverse impacts of hazards often cannot be prevented fully, but their scale or severity can be substantially lessened by various strategies and actions. Mitigation measures encompass engineering techniques and hazard-resistant construction as well as improved environmental policies and public awareness. It should be noted that in climate change policy, mitigation is defined differently, being the term used for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions that are the source of climate change. 30 Aug 2007
