81 Section 5: Plan Maintenance Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating The McMinn County Hazard Mitigation Committee is designated to monitor and evaluate the mitigation plan. This committee is chaired by McMinn County Emergency Management who leads the monitoring, evaluating, and updating process. Monitoring activities will involve McMinn County Emergency Management setting up a committee meeting to be held on an annual basis. McMinn County Emerg ency Management will prepare a brief annual report of the meeting’s findings by addressing mitigation progress and shortfalls within the county. The plan is to be evaluated annually and after any significant disaster causing human, infrastructure, and property losses. Following each annual informal evaluati on of the plan by emergency management staff, any proposed revisions or recommendations will be brought before the Mitigation Committee to be incorporated into the plan. Potential updates to the plan will address changes to the hazard assessment, the critical facilities list, the repetitive loss list, the committee membership list, and the project priority list. Th e plan will be formally updated every five years in accordance with 44 CFR 201.6(d)3, which states that the plan shall be reviewed, revised, and resubmitted for approval within five years to continue eligibility for HMGP grant funding. For the five‐year update, McMinn County Emergency Manageme nt will notify the jurisdictional governments and the McMinn County Hazard Mitigation Committee approximately one year prior to the plan’s expiration date. The review of the plan will include updating the planning process, the hazard profiles, the risk assessment, the vulnerability assessment, the mitigation strategies, and the plan maintenance descriptions. The five‐year plan update will also include soliciting other interested persons/agencies to join the Mitigation Committee and a review of what has been accomplished in the past 5 years. The McMinn County Hazard Mitigation Committee’s goal is to have at least 5 meetings within this time span; dates, public notices, and objectives for these meetings will be determined by McMinn County Emergency Management. Five months prior to the plan’s expiration date, McMinn County Emergency Management will submit the revised plan to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency for preliminary review. Upon approval by the state, TEMA will submit the updated plan to FEMA for review . Once McMinn County has attained the designation of the plan’s approval pending adoption, each jurisdiction will adopt the plan through a resolution within a year.
