Hazard Mitigation Plans (HMP) are designed to eliminate or reduce the longterm risk to life and property from natural and technological hazards. Metro Planning has developed more than 25 HMPs in Texas and Louisiana since 2003. Furthermore, we have converted those plans in to successful grant applications resulting in updated hazard mitigation plans and the buyout if nearly 80 flood-prone properties.  FEMA Grant Writing Services Metro Planning has been successful in acquiring Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMPG) funds for mitigation plan updates as well as flood buyouts. To date we have been responsible for almost $5M in grant awards, with another $9.4M pending final FEMA approval for the purchase of some 350 flood-prone properties. Metro Planning also provides grant administration and audit support. Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) These plans are developed by a community in an area at risk from wildfire. The Community Wildfire Protection Planning process is the collaboration between communities and agencies interested in reducing the urban-wildland wildfire risk. Metro Planning is one of the only consulting firms in the State of Texas that develops CWPPs. Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP) Such plans assure that the capability exists to continue essential agency functions across a wide range of potential emergencies. Metro planning is adept at facilitating the COOP process with participating jurisdictions.
