Mitigation is an important component of risk management and it refers to the planning and execution of measures designed to reduce the risk. Risk mitigation strategies for natural hazards may focus on reducing the hazard, or on reducing the vulnerability and exposure of the population, infrastructure, and other elements at risk. To identify the most appropriate risk mitigation strategy, the exposed population and other stakeholders must be involved in the decision-making process.
