• Anoka County Multi- Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan areas, an increased exposure to hazards, the increase or decrease in capability to address hazards, and changes to federal or state legislation are examples of factors that may affect the necessary content of the Plan. The Plan review provides community officials with an opportunity to evaluate those actions that have been successful and to explore the possibility of documenting potential losses avoided due to the implementation of specific mitigation measures. The Plan review also provides the opportunity to address mitigation actions that may not have been successfully implemented as assigned. The Anoka County Emergency Management Agency will be responsible for reconvening the Mitigation Steering Committee and conducting the five -year review. During the five -year plan review process, the following questions will be considered as criteria for assessing the effectiveness and appropriateness of the Plan: • Do the goals address current and expected conditions? • Has the nature or magnitude of risks changed? • Are the current resources appropriate for implementing the Plan? • Are there implementation problems, such as technical, political, legal. or coordination issues with other agencies? • Have the outcomes occurred as expected? • Did the jurisdictions, agencies, and other partners participate in the Plan implementation process as proposed? Following the five -year review, any necessary revisions will be implemented according to the reporting procedures and plan amendment process outlined herein. Upon completion of the review and update /amendment process, the Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Plan will be submitted to the State Hazard Mitigation Officer for final review and approval in coordination with FEMA. 5.3.3.2 Disaster Declaration Following a disaster declaration, the Mitigation Steering Committee will reconvene and the Plan will be revised as necessary to reflect lessons learned, or to address specific circumstances arising from the event. It will be the responsibility of the Anoka County Emergency Management Agency to reconvene the Mitigation Steering Committee and ensure the appropriate stakeholders are invited to participate in the plan revision and update process following declared disaster events. 5.3.3.3 Reporting Procedures The results of the five -year review will be summarized by the Mitigation Steering Committee in a report that will include an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Plan and any required or recommended changes or amendments. The report will also include an evaluation of implementation progress for each of the proposed mitigation actions, identifying reasons for delays or obstacles to their completion, along with recommended strategies to overcome them. Any necessary revisions to the countywide Plan elements must follow the plan amendment process outlined herein. For changes and updates to the individual jurisdiction Mitigation Action Plans, appropriate local designees will assign responsibility for the completion of the task.
