The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan will also continue to be connected to other plans, such as the Eugene/Springfield Metro Plan and the Eugene/Springfield Wastewater Management Plan. As development plans come into the two Cities' Planning and Development Offices, reviewers will need to keep in mind potential hazard mitigation actions that may need to be implemented. The adopted building codes for the Cities include many standards that mitigate potential hazard damage. The Cities stay current in adoption of upgraded codes, ensuring that the new construction activities will meet the highest standard available for hazards such as floods and seismic events. 5.3 Plan Maintenance The Eugene/Springfield MultFHazard Mitigation Plan will be monitored and evaluated on a regular basis as the community implements the action items within the Plan. The hazards that exist in the community will continue to exist, but the conditions within the community will continue to change. As these changes occur, the Plan will be reevaluated. This may be a change in the population or in the development patterns that were in place when the Plan was developed. Another change that may have an effect on the Plan would be changes in the values or priorities of the citizens of the Cities. Community values have been regularly monitored through Eugene and Springfield's Strategic Plan update processes. As the Strategic Plan is implemented, the Mitigation Plan will be reviewed as well. Local, state and federal agencies will conduct or refine studies that may lead to new or better information on specific hazards. New technical information will be incorporated into other documents, such as the Comprehensive Plan and the Mitigation Plan. For example, this could include updated flood plains, identification of landslide areas or areas subject to seismic vulnerability. On an annual basis the All Hazard Mitigation Technical Advisory Committee will meet to review the Plan. This will be the opportunity to include new information into the Plan and to remove outdated items and completed actions. This will also be the time to recognize the success of the community in implementation of action items. All revisions of the Plan will be taken to the City Council for acknowledgement as a part of the Plan maintenance and implementation program. Public Review Draft August 6, 2004 5-2
