7.7 Continued Public InvolvementValley County is dedicated to continued public involvement in the hazard mitigation planning and review process. During all phases of plan maintenance, the public will have the opportunity to provide feedback. The 2016 plan will be maintained and available for review on the county website. Individuals will have an opportunity to submit comments for the plan update at any time. The Valley County Disaster and Emergency Services Coordinator will compile all comments and present them at the annual Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee meetings, where members will consider them for incorporation into the revision. To help publicize the revised plan six months prior to the submission of the 2021 plan update, Valley County will post a notice on its website requesting feedback on an updated draft plan. The Hazard Mitigation Planning Team will hold community involvement meetings with representatives from academic institutions, the private sector, community groups, and neighboring jurisdictions. This will provide the public an opportunity to express their concerns, opinions, or ideas about any updates/changes that are proposed to the plan. 7.8 The Hazard Mitigation Steering CommitteeThe Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee oversees changes and modifications to the county plan, and will regularly review each goal and objective to determine its relevance to the changing situation of the county. The Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee will also monitor and evaluate the mitigation strategies in this plan to ensure that the document reflects current hazard/risk analysis, development trends, code changes, and risk perceptions. The Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee and the participating jurisdictions agree that outreach and input will be solicited throughout the plan’s lifecycle through workshops, presentations, meetings, the internet, and other public information and education campaigns. To ensure the plan is up to date and relevant the Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee meets annually, within a timely manner after any actual or exercised disaster, and/or at the direction of the Valley County DES Coordinator. 7.9 Participating JurisdictionsParticipating jurisdictions are key stakeholders within the Valley County Mitigation Plan and have agreed to be an active participant in the mitigation process. While not required, participating jurisdictions may be active Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee members. Participating jurisdictions are welcome to attend mitigation-planning meetings and/or review the minutes of the meetings. The participating jurisdictions have agreed to ensure the mitigation plan is current and relevant. Participating jurisdictions agree to provide updates of appropriate activities occurring within their jurisdictions on a regular basis, and/or at the direction of the Valley County DES Coordinator. Participating jurisdictions have agreed to ensure that within their own jurisdictions the mitigation plan is integrated into other planning mechanisms, such as comprehensive or capital improvement plans, when appropriate. Jurisdictions also agree to work with the Valley County Disaster and Emergency Services Coordinator to identify areas of plan integration, as well as provide annual progress reports of the integration of the mitigation plan into existing and or new plans. Conversely, the Valley County Disaster and Emergency Services Coordinator agrees to ensure participating jurisdictions are included in the planning process, particularly when plan updates will affect the participating jurisdictions, and when or if changes are made to the mitigation plan. Furthermore, the participating jurisdictions agree to work with the Valley County Disaster and Emergency Services Coordinator and Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee when requested. Appendix A: Mitigation Funding SourcesFunding for mitigation projects exists from a multitude of sources. Some sources may be specifically designed for disaster mitigation activities, while others may have another overarching purpose that certain mitigation activities may qualify for. Most mitigation funding sources are recurring through legislation or government support. Some, however, may be from an isolated instance of financial support. Whenever possible, creative financing is encouraged. Often, additional funding sources are found through working with other agencies and businesses to identify common or complementary goals and objectives. Table 88 shows the programs that may be available to Valley County, the City of Fort Peck, and the Towns of Glasgow, and Nashua. The traditional mitigation programs that are especially relevant for the county and communities are shown in bold. Table88: MitigationFundingSources
