FOLLOWUP ACTIVITIES AFTER A WORKSHOP The olltcome of this planning workshop is going to he a "how to" manual1<" liS; there are a lot of people out lIere who wmit /0 do something and don't know how to approach it. TlIis is going to be a guideline, and there will be a lot of long, lIard hours spml defining the ways to implemem it. David Hallschild SOllth Dakota Water Congress STEP 38 Send the draft plan Ollt for review. After the workshop is over, a copy of the draft plan should be sent to all planning team members, facili- tators, and recorders for final comments and clarifications (see letter shOlm on page A-27). S Cj' E I' 39 Do final production work. Provide a copy of the draft plan, along with comments from the revic\\o.. to the production staff for editing, incor- poration of illustrations, design, and printing. STEP 40 Distrib'lle the final plan as appro- priate. This should be done within a few months of the workshop; otherwise, the plan becomes an end in itself. Consider making a formal presentation of the plan to local elected officials. Media cov- erage of the plan's release can let others know that it is available. Projects that serve lIlultiple ohjectives meet the needs of many advocacy groups and therefore have an easier time heillg supported at the locallevel. Projects that serve only one purpose- whether flood loss reduction, erosion control, recreation, hahitat enhance- ment, or storlllwater lIlanagemettt- are very difficult to implement hecallse only one advocacy group is involved. The multi-Pllrpose approach, however, brings together diverse commuttity groups to pllsh for implementation. . 1:V1 P LEi\1 ENTAT I ON The multi-objective planning pro- cess described in this document results in a plan for mitigating natural hazards and advancing other local goals. But implementa- tion of the plan's elements is cru- cial to the ultimate success of the effort. Implementation needs to be carried out by the local entities identified under each of the poten- tial solutions described in the plan. The fact that those very entities were part of the planning process means that they will have already made some degree of commitment to carrying out the activities spec- ified. Nevertheless, some sort of meeting to launch the implemen- tation effort can be helpful in renew- ing enthusiasm for natural hazards mitigation and other aspects of the plan. It could also be a forum for targeting the most crucial steps of the implementation process, for updating information contained in
