Eugene -Springfield Area Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan 5. Annexes 6.1.2 What is a Special Jurisdiction? A multijurisdictional hazard mitigation plan is jointly prepared by more than one jurisdiction. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 44 Part 201, Mitigation Planning, defines jurisdictions as a "local government" which is any "county, municipality, city, town, township, public authority, school district, special district, intrastate district, or council of governments..." The 2017 Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 198.01 defines "district," as approved by the Oregon State Legislature. These approved districts are, generally, public entities providing a service to the public, and have an independent governing body. Within this plan these "local governments" are referred to as special districts or Sub - Plan Holders. 5.2 Expectations The Stafford and Disaster Mitigation Acts require the plan must clearly document how each planning partner (Plan Holder), seeking eligibility under a NHMP, participated in the plan's development. The joint Eugene -Springfield Area Multi -Jurisdictional Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan will be considered as the base plan with each special district added as an annex. For this planning process, "participation" is defined by the following criteria: • Point of Contact (POC) — Each entity is required to provide a current POC to the NHMP Project Manager. • Level of Effort —There is no estimated time commitment required to become a NHMP Sub -Plan Holder. Planning effort is determined by a Sub -Plan Holder successfully completing the requirements, set forth by FEMA, to obtain an "Approvable Pending Adoption" notice within the required timeframe. • Participation — Sub -Plan Holders are encouraged to attend all NHMP Update Committee meetings but are required to attend at least one a year. Each Sub - Plan Holder is responsible for completing their own public outreach, though pooling resources to do so is encouraged. • Duration of Process — Sub -Plan Holders must be committed to the entire NHMP process which includes the five-year plan update cycle as well as execution of mitigations actions. • Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment— All Sub -Plan Holders must complete this assessment. This includes analyzing what degradation or loss of their infrastructure would do to the surrounding community and how their risk differs from the planning area. • Mitigation Action Review — At least annually, all Sub -Plan Holders must take part in a review of standing mitigation action items at a NHMP Update Committee meeting and identify at least one mitigation action for each hazard 5-2 January 2020
