Hennepin County Hazard Mitigation Plan Planning Process <br /> F. Formal Adoption <br /> The County Board and the City Councils will adopt the Hennepin <br /> County Hazard Mitigation plan after the Division of Homeland Security <br /> and Emergency Management have approved a final draft. Hassan <br /> Township will also have the option of adopting the plan; they are <br /> currently covered by the county all hazards plan. This will be <br /> completed by the end of March 2004. Public comment will be invited <br /> during this period, at each city council meeting. Documentation from <br /> each jurisdiction indicating acceptance will be kept on file at HCEP and <br /> submitted to the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency <br /> Management. <br /> G. Plan Maintenance <br /> The Emergency Preparedness Division will review the plan annually. <br /> EPD will do this in the context of changing zoning laws, evolving <br /> policies, and other factors that could cause reprioritization of mitigation <br /> issues. Changes will be relayed electronically to the steering <br /> committee for approval. The steering committee will be convened if <br /> there are major changes, or if a county-wide perspective is needed. <br /> Public comment will be solicited using notices from the Public Affairs <br /> Department. <br /> The plan will be reviewed and submitted to FEMA every five years for <br /> approval. <br /> 5 <br /> MIT PI...i-T), PO A- <br />
