Eugene -Springfield Area Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan 6. Appendices ■ The Community— residents of Eugene and Springfield offer their insight, input, concerns, and support for hazards as well as possible mitigation items. This entity is usually represented by members of the Eugene -Springfield Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) or by specific mitigation outreach events for the community. The primary implementation group for the Eugene -Springfield Area Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan is the NHMP Steering Committee. The NHMP Update Committee is composed of all four groups and meets quarterly to coordinate implementation efforts. The NHMP Project Team conducted the initial vulnerability assessment utilizing the 2014 Regional Climate and Hazards Vulnerability Assessment and the studies which developed out of it. The Risk Matrix is part of this assessment. Once complete, the Project Team brought the Vulnerability Assessment results to the full NHMP Update Committee on October 29, 2018 for review. Based on this review, edits were made, and the Vulnerability Assessment and Risk Matrix were finalized. Once the vulnerability assessment process (described in Section 4) was complete, the NHMP Project Team (identified in Section 1.1.1) and members of the NHMP Steering Committee (identified in Section proposed a number of mitigation strategies to address some of the most pressing vulnerabilities highlighted by the assessment. The Project Team met in January and the Steering Committee met in April of 2019. Purposed mitigation strategies were brought to the full NHMP Update Committee at the end of April 2019 for review. The NHMP Project Team and Steering Committee vetted mitigation strategies through a detailed review and discussion of each strategy proposed. Following this review, actions in need of additional refinement were identified by the Project Manager who then met with partners critical to the implementation of the mitigation action in question. For example, for the Mitigation Action Item Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) a meeting was set up with staff from Eugene Public Works, Eugene - Springfield Fire, Lane County Emergency Management, and the U.S. Forest Service to discuss the implications of the mitigation strategy. This process was repeated for any critical Mitigation Action Item requiring more development. NHMP Sub -Plan Holders (EWEB, RWD, and, SUB) conducted similar reviews for their purposed Mitigation Action Items. Meeting Descriptions Below is a brief description of the NHMP Update Committee, Project Team, and Steering Committee meetings — starting with the most recent, including those scheduled, but not yet completed at the time of this update's publishing: 6-18 January 2020
