(4) Improve the public’s ability to assess risk management alternatives by reducing the complexity of risk information for nontechnical audiences, by generating and sharing reliable information that helps decision-makers identify and select risk-reduction alternatives, and by providing guidance about assistance programs and funding opportunities based on needs, cost effectiveness, feasibility, potential resources, and returns on investment.
(5) Develop, pursue, and support federal and state policies and programs that promote innovative and flexible solutions for achieving individual, community, and statewide resilience.
(6) Provide support and assistance in the preparation and maintenance of the state hazard mitigation plan, as contemplated by the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, 42 U.S.C § 5121 et seq., or any successor federal statute, provided that the Alabama Emergency Management Agency shall be responsible for administrative maintenance and day-to-day execution of the plan.
