• Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 5.3 Mitigation Implementation and Plan Maintenance This section discusses how the Mitigation Strategy will be implemented by Anoka County's participating jurisdictions and how the overall Hazard Mitigation Plan will be evaluated and enhanced over time. This section also discusses how the public will continue to be involved in the hazard mitigation planning process. It consists of the following four subsections: • Implementation • Incorporating Mitigation into Existing Planning Mechanisms • Monitoring, Evaluation and Enhancement • Continued Public Involvement 44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(4)(i): The plan shall include a plan maintenance process that includes a section describing the method and schedule of monitoring, evaluating, and updating the mitigation plan within a five -year cycle. 5.3.1 Implementation Each jurisdiction participating in this Plan is responsible for implementing specific mitigation actions as prescribed in the adopted Mitigation Actions. In each Mitigation Action Plan, every proposed action is assigned to a specific local department or agency in order to assign responsibility and accountability and increase the likelihood of subsequent implementation. This approach enables individual jurisdictions to update their unique mitigation strategy as needed without altering the broader focus of the countywide Plan. The separate adoption of locally specific actions also ensures that each jurisdiction is not held responsible for monitoring and implementing the actions of other jurisdictions involved in the planning process. In addition to the assignment of a local lead department or agency, an implementation time period or a specific implementation date has been assigned in order to assess whether actions are being implemented in a timely fashion. As necessary, Anoka County and its participating jurisdictions will seek outside funding sources to implement mitigation projects in both the pre - disaster and post- disaster environments. When applicable, potential funding sources have been identified for proposed actions listed in the Mitigation Action Plans. 5.3.2 Incorporating Mitigation Into Existing Planning Mechanisms It will be the responsibility of each participating jurisdiction to implementation procedures when appropriate. This includes integrating the requirements of the Anoka County Multi- Jurisdictional Hazards Mitigation Plan into other local planning documents, processes, or mechanisms such as: • Comprehensive Plans • Strategic Plans • Capital Improvement Plans • Growth Management Plans • Ordinances, Resolutions, Regulations • Continuity of Operations Plans determine additional 44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(4)(ii): The plan maintenance process shall include a process by which local governments incorporate the requirements of the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms such as comprehensive or capital improvement plans, when appropriate. 265
