Sherburne County Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2020 Regulation: Regulation is an important mitigation tool for Sherburne County. Regulation plays a particularly important role for land use, access to structures and the protection of water resources and public health. 6.3 Continued Public Involvement Continued public involvement is critical to the successful implementation of the Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP). The Sherburne County Director of Emergency Services and the Sherburne County Emergency LEPC members will continue to engage new public stakeholders in planning discussions and project implementation during the five-year cycle of this plan. In orderto seek continued public participation after the plan has been approved and during the five- year window of implementation for this plan, Sherburne County will take the following measures: • The plan will be posted on the Sherburne County Government Center website forthe public to read and provide feedback. Collected feedback will be reviewed and the plan will be amended as necessary. • Following any major storms or natural disasters, Sherburne County Emergency Services will seek to gather concerns and new ideas for mitigation from local residents to include in the next update of the plan. This may be done through public meetings, outreach via social media (i.e., Sheriff's Office Facebook Page), or news releases via local media. • Each community participating in the plan will be responsible to keep their local government, schools and community members updated and engaged in the implementation of their respective mitigation action charts (see Appendix G: Mitigation Actions by Jurisdiction). Each respective jurisdiction will be required to report on the status of mitigation actions in their charts to the Sherburne County Director of Emergency Services. • Jurisdictions will use numerous means of public outreach to engage new public stakeholders in providing input on mitigation efforts or concerns on hazards by sharing information at city council /township board meetings, sharing information at special events, working with local schools and partner organizations, and posting information on relevant local or social media that their communities use to inform and engage the public. As mitigation projects are implemented, jurisdictions will work to keep the public updated and engaged in those local efforts. Page 1 114
