Seminole County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Individual Jurisdiction Mitigation Plan City of Casselberry Introduction This section discusses the current status of development and implementation of the Seminole County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan in the City of Casselberry, and the next steps that may be undertaken to continue the process of making the community less vulnerable to the potential effects of natural, technological and societal disasters or events. There are several aspects of plan implementation that need to be addressed: · The status of promulgation or formal adoption of the plan by the participating jurisdiction · Disaster events that may have affected the community and identified a vulnerable facility, system, or neighborhood · Continuing examination of facilities and neighborhoods' vulnerability to disasters, including terrorism · Review of existing policies, plans or programs so see if thers are opportunities to make changes or enhancements that might further the efforts to mitigate potential disasters · Previously proposed mitigation initiatives that have been implemented, completed, or terminated, and their effect on the community · Future mitigation actions, priorities for implementation of approved mitigation initiatives now incorporated into the plan, and active perusal of funding opportunities · Activities of the jurisdiction to engage the private sector and the community at large in the mitigation planning process Status of Plan Promulqation and Approval Promulgation and approval of the plan is a very important step in assuring its implementation. This is an "Individual Jurisdictional Mitigation Plan" which contains all of the jurisdiction-specific information developed to date. Included here are numerous reports based upon data sources developed or coordinated through the efforts of personnel representing the individual jurisdiction participating in the planning process. It is the expectation of the Seminole County Mitigation 20/20TM Task Force that the governing body of each participating jurisdiction will review, consider and act on their Individual Jurisdiction Mitigation Plan in a timely fashion. If the governing body acts in a positive manner, this is basically an approval or endorsement of the proposed mitigation initiatives contained in the corresponding section of the plan. This approval or endorsement, with or without modification by the governing body, represents both consent and commitment by the representatives of that organization or jurisdiction to seek the resources needed to implement the priority initiatives contained therein.
