Macon County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan 12024 When conducting community engagement related to implementation of or update to this Plan, the county will ensure that the whole community has an opportunity to participate in the process and discussion. FEMA defines the "whole community" as "individuals and families, including those with access and functional needs, businesses, faith-based and community organizations, nonprofit groups, schools and academia, media outlets, and all levels of government, including state, local,tribal,territorial, and federal partners that have a shared responsibility in emergency preparedness and mitigation" (FEMA, 2011). 2.7 Existing Plans, Studies, and Reports Hazard mitigation planning must include a review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information (44 CFR, Section 201.6(b)(3)). Chapter 5: Capabilities and Integration of Mitigation Measures provides a review of key studies, plans, laws, and ordinances in effect within the planning area that can affect hazard mitigation actions. All these documents were reviewed as part of the plan update process. Additionally, each chapter in this Plan includes its own reference section, which also acknowledges key plans, studies, and technical information utilized in this Plan. 2.8 References Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
