· Identify the data requirements that the participating counties, communities, and other FEMA "eligible applicants" could provide, and conduct the research and documentation necessary to augment that data, · Develop and facilitate the Public Input process, · Produce the DRAFT and Final Plan documents, and · Guarantee acceptance of the final Plan by FEMA Region VIII. The majority of funding for the planning assistance contract was provided to the NCEM member counties by FEMA through OEM. The required local match was provided as an "in-kind" or "soft" match, through the many, many hours spent on this effort by each of the planning team participants, as well as the use of their facilities for meetings and actual cash disbursements for copying and public notices, where necessary. The Planning Process TMAC established the process for this planning effort utilizing the DMA planning requirements, and FEMA' s associated guidance. This guidance is structured around a generalized 4-phase process. TMAC also integrated an older, more detailed 10-step planning process that was still required, at the time this effort was initiated, for other FEMA mitigation plans, such as for FEMA' s Community Rating System (CRS) and Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) programs. Thus, TMAC formulated a single planning process that melds these two sets of planning requirements together and meets the requirements of six major programs: CRS, DMA, FMA, HMGP, FEMA's Pre- Disaster Mitigation program (PDM) and new flood control projects authorized by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The graphics below show how the old 10-step process fits within the new 4-phase process. . . . .. 0Assess the Risks . "~ 11..'

TMAC also provided each County Emergency Manager with a formatted Planning Notebook to help keep all their planning information organized. The first planning meeting took place in October 2002. 4
