Objectives define strategies or implementation steps to attain the identified goals. Unlike goals, objectives are specific and measurable, such as: (1) Protect structures in the historic downtown area from flood damage. (2) Educate citizens about wildfire defensible space actions. (3) Prepare plans and identify resources to facilitate reestablishing county operations after a disaster. (FEMA, Developing the Mitigation Plan (FEMA 386-3), 2003, p. 1-1)
