- PART 3 – INTEGRATION ACROSS AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS
ConclusionBoth the Hazard Mitigation Plan and Comprehensive Plan are key documents in a community but are often developed separately with little coordination, much less integration, between the two planning processes. Awareness and identification of hazards in the Comprehensive Plan can help the community avoiding developing in areas where infrastructure and buildings would be put into harm’s way. Coordinating with the Comprehensive Plan can provide a mechanism for implementing the mitigation goals, objectives, policies, and actions in the Hazard Mitigation Plan beyond Federal mitigation grants and recovery operations. These are just two examples of how coordination and integration between these two planning processes can strengthen each process and lead to a more resilient community. This concludes Part 2. At this milestone, you should have developed goals and policies for various elements of the Comprehensive Plan. PART 3 – INTEGRATION ACROSS AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTSInteragency coordination is key for any planning process to be successful. Involving agencies or departments throughout the process, considering their viewpoints, and valuing their expertise is important so they feel more vested in the process and become more involved in implementation. Table 3.1 helps identify which departments/agencies currently do or do not coordinate with one another. Develop a similar table to determine where there are links or gaps between agencies. Identify strategies to improve coordination between agencies and integrate across departments for various projects and processes. For agencies that coordinate with one another, indicate “Y.” For agencies that do not coordinate with one another, indicate “N.” This will clearly show where you need to focus your future efforts. Note: Including an action in the mitigation strategy of your Hazard Mitigation Plan to review and update this table annually is also beneficial. Table 3.1: Integration across Agencies/Departments
