[401"Al MAO <br />The Seminole County LMS Working Group will continue efforts to develop and implement a year-round <br />program to engage the community in the LMS planning process and to provide them with mitigation - <br />related information and educations. These efforts will be to continually invite public comments and <br />recommendations regarding the mitigation goals for the community, the priorities for the planning, and the <br />unique needs of each community for mitigation -related public information. <br />Update Process <br />The current LMS Working Group, participants and attendees came together to update the plan to meet the <br />federal and state LMS Plan requirements. Using the 2015 plan as a foundation, a review of every section of <br />the Seminole County LMS was conducted and the plan was revised using the 2018 Florida Local Mitigation <br />Strategy Crosswalk and the 2018 Florida Division of Emergency Management Local Mitigation Strategy <br />Update Manual. <br />During the 2019 Seminole County LMS update the following actions were taken by the LMS Working <br />Group: <br />A LMS revision kick-off meeting with the LMS Planning Team was conducted to confirm the list of hazards <br />as a starting point for the update of the plan. <br />The following sections were reviewed and updated: <br />General Section: <br />This section includes the plan introduction, purpose, and planning process. This section was revised <br />to reflect the current approach and processes of the Seminole County LMS Working Group. <br />Risk Assessment Section: <br />This section includes the hazard analysis and assessing the vulnerabilities of Seminole County. This <br />section was updated to reflect current documented history and outlook of the hazards that could <br />impact Seminole County. Each section was revised to reflect updated hazard events and to reflect <br />current vulnerabilities. The Seminole County LMS Working Group determined for continuity <br />purposes the LMS hazards would remain consistent with the Seminole County Comprehensive <br />Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). <br />Mitigation Goals Section <br />This section includes the mitigation goals, specific objectives under each goal, National Flood <br />Insurance Program (NFIP) compliance data, and the process for mitigation project implementation. <br />Each section was revised to reflect current updated goals for the LMS, updated NFIP data, and the <br />revised process for the implementation of the mitigation projects. <br />Plan Maintenance Section <br />This section includes the monitoring and evaluation process for the LMS, the update process for <br />the LMS, and how the LMS is implemented through existing plans and procedures. This section was <br />revised to reflect the current processes for the monitoring, evaluation, and update for the LMS. <br />The implementation of existing plans and processes for LMS were reviewed and revised to reflect <br />the current implementation process. <br />LMS Working Group By -Laws Appendix <br />7 <br />
