SECTION 8: PLAN MAINTENANCE
Jurisdiction Integration of 2019 plan
Intended integration of this plan update Wendell will seek to integrate this plan update with updates to the UDO.
Town of Wendell
Plan was integrated with emergency response training to improve preparedness for high risk hazards. Plan was integrated with the updated Unified Development Ordinance.
Town of Zebulon
Integration will be pursued as opportunities arise.
Opportunities to integrate the requirements of this plan into other local planning mechanisms shall continue to be identified through future meetings of the HMPC and through the five-year review process described herein. Although it is recognized that there are many possible benefits to integrating components of this plan into other local planning mechanisms, the development and maintenance of this stand-alone Hazard Mitigation Plan is deemed by the HMPC to be the most effective and appropriate method to implement local hazard mitigation actions at this time.
8.2 MONITORING, EVALUATION, AND ENHANCEMENT
8.2.1 ROLE OF HMPC IN IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE
With adoption of this plan, each jurisdiction will be responsible for the implementation and maintenance of their mitigation actions. Wake County will take the lead in all plan monitoring and update procedures. As such, the County, led by the Director of Emergency Management, agrees to continue its relationship with the HMPC and: • Act as a forum for hazard mitigation issues; • Disseminate hazard mitigation ideas and activities to all participants; • Pursue the implementation of high-priority, low/no-cost recommended actions; • Ensure hazard mitigation remains a consideration for community decision makers; • Maintain a vigilant monitoring of multi-objective cost-share opportunities to help the community implement the plan’s recommended actions for which no current funding exists; • Monitor and assist in implementation and update of this plan; • Report on plan progress and recommended revisions to the County Board of Commissioners; and • Inform and solicit input from the public. The HMPC ’s primary duty moving forward is to see the plan successfully carried out and report to the County Board of Commissioners, Town and City Councils, NCEM, FEMA, and the public on the status of plan implementation and mitigation opportunities. Other duties include reviewing and promoting mitigation proposals, considering stakeholder concerns about flood mitigation, passing concerns on to appropriate entities, and provide relevant information for posting on the County and local community websites (and others as appropriate). Simultaneous to these efforts, it will be important to maintain a constant monitoring of funding opportunities that can be leveraged to implement some of the costlier recommended actions. This will include creating and maintaining a bank of ideas on how to meet local match or participation requirements. When funding does become available, the County and participating jurisdictions will be positioned to capitalize on the opportunity. Funding opportunities to be monitored include special pre- and post-disaster funds, state and federal earmarked funds, benefit assessments, and other grant programs, including those that can serve or support multi-objective applications.
