The focus of the meeting was to introduce the planning process, request assistance from the public/private sector and citizens, collect hazard data and critical facilities, and encourage continued participation in the planning and implementation process. During this meeting, Mr. Jim Root of the Macon County EMA was identified as the Plan's primary point of contact for public input or questions and the primary contact between the County and the Plan's consultant. The Stakeholder Hazard Assessment and Mitigation Activities Meeting held on August 20, 2012, included a presentation sharing the results of the hazard identification surveys, hazard profiles, and hazard assessments. During this meeting, participants were encouraged to define mitigation goals and consider actions in a manner that weighted priority, funding, and mitigation methodology. The planning consultant and local plan administrators provided guidance throughout both meetings and shared ideas for maximizing stakeholder input. Minutes for each meeting were kept by the County EMA and made available to the public, as well as the presentations. They are provided in Appendix B of this Plan. 2.3.2 Multi-Media Outreach The Planning Team used the County EMA website http://www.maconcountVema,oLg/ for purposes of promoting planning meetings, hazard questionnaires, storing documents, facilitating Plan review and providing general plan information to the public and stakeholders. The site allowed users to upload, download, and access sections of the hazard plan and supporting documents. The result allowed the public to easily obtain and comment on the Plan during both draft stages and prior to Plan adoption. The site was also used to disseminate brochures, past presentations, meeting minutes, other example hazard plans, promote FEMA mitigation project programs and link to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency for additional support.
