82 gaps in existing documents, can contribute to already existing mitigation‐based projects, and can create a strengthen stance of mitigation implementation and awareness within the county and its jurisdictions. The committee discussed incorporating this plan into other plans that exist within the County and all jurisdictions within and due to other jurisdictional priorities and d emands (especially during this COVID‐19 pandemic), no other plans or options were identified by the members. What you see below is what was discussed and documented. As required, this will be discussed within committee during the next plan update. It is important to note that this is a small rural County. It should not be expe cted that long term planning is a constant or viable. Some of the mechanisms that the McMinn County Multi‐Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan could be incorporated into include: McMinn County Emergency Operations Plan The process of incorporating the hazard mitigation plan into other plans will begin during the other plan’s update cycles. McMinn County Emergency Management will first review the plans side‐by‐ side, and where deemed necessary, Emergency Management will make notes on how mitigation concepts and actions can be incorporated into the other plans. These recommendations will be submitted to the lead agencies of the other planning mechanisms for them to place relevant information within the documents. Continued Public Participation The McMinn County Mitigation Committee will strive to involve the public in future mitigation activities. This will be accomplished by continuing to post Mitigation Committee Meeting dates in the local newspaper, by attempting to have a public mitigation meeting once a year, by providing public access to copies of the McMinn County Multi‐Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan in the local emergency management office, and by soliciting other interested persons to participate in the mitigation planning process. By implementing these methods, the public will have an opportunity to comment on the plan during the update drafting stage and prior to plan approval. 163
