Focusing toward including all jurisdictions within the County. <br /> b. Forming a multi-tiered planning team with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. <br /> c. Providing opportunities for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies <br /> involved in hazard mitigation activities, and agencies that have the authority to <br /> regulate development, as well as businesses, academia and other private and non- <br /> profit interests to be involved in the planning process. <br /> d. Providing public outreach and opportunities for involvement. <br /> e. Reviewing and incorporating existing plans studies, reports, and technical <br /> information, as appropriate. <br /> ro riate. <br /> f.
