Information was used to develop local mitigation actions which they would seek to implement upon plan adoption (see Section 5.3.2 and Appendix G Mitigation Actions by Jurisdiction). 2.2 Review of Existing Plans, Capabilities & Vulnerabilities Sherburne County and its local communities utilized a variety of planning documents to direct community development. These documents include a Comprehensive/Master Plan, Emergency Operations Plan, Continuity of Operations Plan, Stormwater Management Plan, Transportation Plan, etc. (see Appendix J for a full listing of plans and programs in place in Sherburne County). The planning process also incorporated the existing natural hazard mitigation elements from previous planning efforts. In addition, the 2019 Minnesota All -Hazard Mitigation Plan was consulted. In the development of the Sherburne County Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan, U-SpatialQa UMD consultants reviewed and incorporated a variety of planning documents that direct community development and influence land use decisions for the county and itsjurisdictions. In addition, U- SpatialQa UMD consultants worked closely with the Sherburne County Emergency Management Director, other key county staff, and local city officials to collect specific feedback on local mitigation capabilities and vulnerabilities that either support or hinder the ability to mitigate against natural hazards at the county and local level. Following is a summary of the assessment tools used to gather information on local capabilities and vulnerabilities during the planning process: Capabilities Assessment (hazard specific) — In this assessment, detailed information was collected on current Plans and Programs in Place and Program Gaps or Deficiencies that currently exist to mitigate destruction caused by each natural hazard addressed in the plan. This information was used to inform where there were current mechanisms in place to incorporate or implement mitigation measures (i.e., existing programs, plans or policies) and where there were areas that needed to be addressed. Section 4.3 Hazard Profiles identifies current gaps and deficiencies for mitigation and Section 5.1.3 Plans and Page112
