Eugene -Springfield Area Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan <br />1. Mitigation Planning <br />Plan Maintenance <br />The NHMP Steering Committee is required to meet biannually. Eugene and <br />Springfield Emergency Management staff schedule four meetings each year and <br />typically meet quarterly. <br />During these meetings the NHMP Steering Committee will review the progress on <br />mitigation actions, discuss implementation challenges and opportunities, invite guest <br />presenters to provide technical information, and annually review priorities (as <br />detailed below under Annual Review and Update). <br />Ongoing Annual Review and Update <br />The Steering Committee will use one of the quarterly meetings to review and <br />maintain the NHMP, including the following tasks: <br />• Review progress toward mitigation goals made over the previous year; <br />• Review and re-evaluate priority of remaining mitigation actions; <br />• Review and adjust priorities, as needed; <br />• Consider new mitigation actions for inclusion within the plan; <br />• Consider adjustments to existing mitigation actions to improve feasibility, <br />add critical detail, or refocus the strategy; <br />• Consider additional implementation partners as necessary, and develop a plan <br />for their inclusion; <br />• Review public outreach conducted over the previous year; and <br />• Identify opportunities for outreach over the coming year. <br />Ongoing Public Involvement <br />The City of Eugene, City of Springfield, EWEB, RWD, and SUB will continue to <br />share information about, and gather input on, the Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. <br />At least once a year the Cities will host presentations for the public to provide <br />information, describe progress toward implementation, and collect feedback on the <br />NHMP. Presentations through the Eugene -Springfield Community Emergency <br />Response Team (CERT) program or Lane Preparedness Coalition meetings hosted <br />quarterly will provide engagement opportunities for the interested public. <br />During the last two years of the NHMP update cycle, each jurisdiction will hold a <br />minimum of one NHMP event. For the City of Eugene this also includes National <br />Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and Community Rating System (CRS) outreach. <br />During these events, the community will be updated on mitigation projects, and <br />given an opportunity to provide input on mitigation items. <br />1-16 January 2020 <br />
