5. Draw up a draft plan for multi-objective hazard manage- ment. Although multi-objective planning is a process, not a product, a written document is still needed to keep a record of ""hat decisions were made and v.'hat solutions were chosen, and to monitor progress in the future. The draft plan should be refined after the workshop, referred to as a framevmrk for the area's regular planning tasks, and (if possible) adopted by appropriate bodies. need to be solved, and talk with local residents about the issues v...ith v,:hich they are most concerned. IJA Y .r Small group (planning team) meetings to brain- storm ways to solve identified "problems;' specify responsi- ble parties, list possible sources of funding and technical support, and give a timetable for implementing each solution. A public meetingibroadcast to get additional public input about the issues and their tentative solutions. These tasks can be accomplished in a five-day workshop generally organized as follows (a detailed description is given in the next section): IJA Y I: A large public meeting for introductions, invited speakers, background presentations, and open-ended input from residents about the problems, needs, and goals of the area. Small group sessions ("plan- ning teams") organized by topic to begin organizing the concerns related to each issue and to get additional, specific input from local residents. DA Y 2: All-day trip through the planning area for planning team members to vie\v the landscape. see specific instances of problems that DAY 4: Small group meetings to revise problems and solutions to reflect the public input obtained through the meeting/broadcast, and to com- bine the ideas into a composite plan. Core group meeting to assemble a draft plan by combin- ing all teams' work with relevant background information. In 1I10st of the things where people are trying to make big changes, they'll co1l1e in and they'll study it. And they'll study it for two years or they'll stlldy it for threc years or sometimes they'll study it for ten years, And thell write up a big volume all it which gets filed someplace, alld thell a few years dowll the road somebody else will come ill alld say we need to do something allout this, alld so it starts all over again. I think this Ilew approach was great. . . . You ought to use it agaill. . . I was amazed. Here's this really Ileat, well organized plan. AIld it's got every- thing ill it we talked about. It's got everything hI it I wanted. I thillk it really reflects wlwt we as local people were sayillg. . . . Obviously this is a process that works. . DAY 5: Large meeting to distribute and review draft plan, and present it to local officials. Smaller sessions for one~on-one discussion about funding, technical assistance, etc. A group debriefing with all plan- ning team members to determine what ,.,.'as effective in the workshop process and what needs to be altered to make the workshop and process more effective for future efforts.
