- An Overview
FEMA's Region III Mitigation Division, under the leadership of Director Gene Gruber, strives to create safer communities by reducing the risks to loss of life and property. Mitigation measures enable individuals to recover more quickly from floods and other disasters and lessen the financial impact of disasters on the nation.
Operationally and to best accomplish its mission, the division is comprised of three major components: risk analysis, floodplain management and insurance, and hazard mitigation.
