Target specific areas (floodplains) <br /> <br />These Goals and Objectives were developed for the entire Planning Area. Not every <br />county has Recommended Actions for every Goal and Objective. Some counties <br />developed additional or modified Goals and Objectives. Not every Goal and Objective is <br />supported by a specific Recommended Action, though they retain their worthiness in <br />providing long-range direction and focus that can be valuable in the implementation and <br />maintenance of this plan. <br /> <br />The Capability Assessments and the County-specific 'History of Recorded Disaster <br />Losses from Natural Hazards' are in the following county-by-county sections of this plan. <br />This formatting was developed to prevent the reader from having to go back and forth <br />between Risk Assessment data and County specifics, and to provide each county with <br />their own, separate, 'pull-out' section of the plan for easier and more functional use. <br /> <br />47 <br />
