SECTION 8: PLAN MAINTENANCE
• Decreased vulnerability as a result of implementing recommended actions; • Increased vulnerability as a result of failed or ineffective mitigation actions; and/or • Increased vulnerability as a result of new development (and/or annexation). Updates to this plan will: • Consider changes in vulnerability due to project implementation; • Document success stories where mitigation efforts have proven effective; • Document areas where mitigation actions were not effective; • Document any new hazards that may arise or were previously overlooked; • Incorporate new data or studies on hazards and risks; • Incorporate new capabilities or changes in capabilities; • Incorporate growth and development-related changes to County inventories; and • Incorporate new project recommendations or changes in project prioritization. In order to best evaluate any changes in vulnerability as a result of plan implementation, the HMPC will follow the following process: The HMPC representatives from each jurisdiction will be responsible for tracking and reporting on their mitigation actions. Jurisdictional representatives should provide input on whether the action as implemented met the defined objectives and/or is likely to be successful in reducing vulnerabilities. If the action does not meet identified objectives, the jurisdictional representatives will determine what additional measures may be implemented and will make any required modifications to the plan. All monitoring and implementation information will be reported to the full HMPC, led by the Wake County Emergency Manager, during quarterly meetings. An annual plan maintenance report may be drafted as deemed necessary. Changes will be made to the plan as needed to accommodate for actions that have failed or are not considered feasible after a review of their consistency with established criteria, time frame, community priorities, and/or funding resources. Actions that were not ranked high but were identified as potential mitigation activities will be reviewed during the monitoring and update of this plan to determine feasibility of future implementation. Updating of the mitigation action plans will be by written changes and submissions, as is appropriate and necessary, and as approved by the appropriate jurisdiction’s local governing body. Following a disaster declaration, the plan will be revised as necessary to reflect lessons learned, or to address specific issues and circumstances arising from the event. It will be the responsibility of Wake County Emergency Management to reconvene the HMPC and ensure the appropriate stakeholders are invited to participate in the plan revision and update process following declared disaster events. Criteria for Quarterly Reviews in Preparation for 5-Year Update The criteria recommended in 44 CFR 201 and 206 will be utilized in reviewing and updating the plan. More specifically, quarterly reviews will monitor changes to the following information: Community growth or change in the past quarter. The number of substantially damaged or substantially improved structures by flood zone. The renovations to public infrastructure including water, sewer, drainage, roads, bridges, gas lines, and buildings. Natural hazard occurrences that required activation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and whether the event resulted in a presidential disaster declaration.
