Topics
The solution to the hazards of natural disasters is not a silver bullet. No single agency can completely solve flood hazards alone. Flood risk management is a shared
responsibility.
During responses to disasters, FEMA is known for blue jackets, and the Corps, red.
Multiple agencies working together to lessen the effects of disasters are like links in a chainmail coat of armor, and such a metal jacket is the most resilient to disasters.
That’s a silver jacket.

What is ? Silver Jackets is the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Civil Works program enabling participation in the states’ hazard mitigation teams. This is about collaboration between USACE, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other federal, state and local agencies to create an interagency team at the state level to develop and implement solutions to state natural hazard priorities. The Silver Jackets Program provides a formal and consistent strategy for an interagency approach to planning and implementing measures to reduce the risks associated with natural hazards.
Background
BUILDING STRONG® 6
The primary goals are to
• leverage information and resources,
• improve risk communication to the public in a unified effort,
• and create a mechanism to collaboratively solve issues and implement initiatives.
Background
BUILDING STRONG® 7
The program's desired outcomes are Reduced flood risk
Improved situational awareness, where agencies better understand and leverage each other's programs
Collaboration between various agencies, coordinated programs, cohesive solutions
Multi-agency technical resource for state and local agencies
Mechanism for establishing relationships to facilitate integrated solutions post-disaster

Joint Efforts with State Risk Management Team
External efforts Silver Jackets can lead the change which will help SRMT STATE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN (SHMP)
► Only as good as the risk assessments available ► Benefits from access to further detail on a natural
hazards from all agencies ► A role in risk communication to the SHMP exists for
each federal agency General thirst for federal participation Significant need for federal agencies’ data Concept document integrating USACE districts’ information
to both KS and MO drafted to inform the 3 year revision cycle of the SHMP
January 9, 2013, interagency pow wow at FEMA VII on SHMPs, states are requesting the data needed to make their hazard mitigation investment strategy more effective

What Can Cooperation Among Agencies on State Hazard Mitigation Teams Do?
Share information on risk - Why? ► Other agencies can use risk assessments to prepare and mitigate hazards.
Our actions, your actions - How do they inform the SHMP? (interim risk reduction measures) ► Other agencies manage the hazards differently, and may not understand the
other agencies’ roles. They may be able to reinforce communication. Processes vary – What processes get enabled?
► Pre-meditated hazard mitigation (stage one action prepares way for effective action later) is needed to take advantage of the higher public interest, after an event.
Same message, different agencies - How can state teams assist communities in the communicate and reduce (flood) risk? ► Consolidate known risks in the SHMP with lead actions, specific at the more
local level in county HMPs Stove pipes make us blind - Why meet periodically with SRMT?
► Situational awareness enables better hazard mitigation reducing costs to the state from future damages

BUILDING STRONG®
What Can Agencies on State Hazard Mitigation Teams Do?
Will this information be useful? What can it be used for? How does this process align with the state’s hazard mitigation
plan (SHMP)? How will it inform the SHMP? What Actions does this process enable? How can state teams assist communities in the
communication of flood risk (and LSAC assignment)? What can participating agencies do to help communities at
risk? Can team collaboratively work with communities to reduce and manage risk?
Are there additional coordination activities needed? ► Two-way updates through state team meetings? ► Closer coordination with communities? ► Impacts to SHMP process?
