Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022 Planning Process - 9 - Q&A | ELEMENT A: PLANNING PROCESS | A1b. Q: Does the plan list the jurisdiction(s) participating in the plan that are seeking approval? (Requirement §201.6(c)(1)) A: See Planning Process below. Planning Process Throughout the project, the Planning Team served as the primary stakeholders while also making a concerted effort to gather information from the general public, external agencies (utility providers and special districts). In addition, the Planning Team solicited information from agencies and people with specific knowledge of hazards and past historical events, as well as building codes and facilities maintenance planning. The hazard mitigation strategies contained in this plan were developed through an extensive planning process involving City staff, general public, and external agencies. Following review and input by the Planning Team to the First Draft Plan, next (still during the Plan Writing Phase), the Second Draft Plan was shared with the general public and external agencies (adjoining jurisdictions, utility providers, special districts, etc.). The general public and external agencies served as the secondary stakeholders. Next, the comments gathered from the secondary stakeholders were incorporated into a Third Draft Plan which was submitted to Cal OES and FEMA along with a request for a determination of “Approval Pending Adoption”. Next, the Planning Team completed amendments to the Plan to reflect mandated input by Cal OES and FEMA. The Final Draft Plan was then posted in advance of the City Council public meeting. Any comments gathered were included in the staff report to the City Council. Following adoption by the City Council, proof of adoption was forwarded to FEMA with a request for approval. The FEMA Letter of Approval was included in the Final Plan. The planning process described above is portrayed below in a progression: Q&A | ELEMENT A: PLANNING PROCESS | A1a.
