Decision Making Process

Describe the process you used to decide that this project is the best solution to the problem. Below are some questions to consider as you write your narrative:

 
Are you focusing on the area in your community that has the greatest potential for losses?
 
Have you considered the risks to critical facilities and structures and benefits to be obtained by mitigating this vulnerability?
 
Have you considered those areas or projects that present the greatest opportunities given the current situation and interest in your community?
 
Are you addressing a symptom or the source of the problem? Addressing the source of the problem is a long-term solution which provides the most mitigation benefits.
 
If impacts to the environmental/historic preservation, natural, cultural or historic resources have been identified, explain how your alternatives and proposed project address, minimize, or avoid these impacts?





 
Explain why this project is the best alternative.
