The public has a role in the enforcement of all hazard rules, because the rules are a definition of <br />the risks the community is willing to take. <br /> <br />9. In order to have intelligent public cooperation, it is necessary for the rules to be clearly understood <br />and the hazard sufficiently visible, to detect violation of the rules. <br /> <br />10. Public knowledge and concern can provide significant pressure to force compliance by violators <br />and insure enforcement by authorities. <br /> <br />11. If the public is well informed of hazard rules, they can monitor compliance and, in limited cases, <br />enforce rules. <br /> <br />F. Planning <br /> <br />According to Morentz et a/. (1982), "Planning is a process of anticipating future needs and programming <br />resource expenditures in light of expected hazardous conditions and human vulnerabilities." <br /> <br />1. A wide range of agencies, individuals, users, and affected parties is involved in planning. <br /> <br />2. A core group is needed to sort out the diverse interests in planning outcomes. This may be a <br />government agency, quasi-public organization or private group. Members of a core group for an <br />urban forestry mitigation plan may include representatives from the Forestry Department, <br />Department of Public Works, Parks Department, Police and Fire Departments, utility companies, <br />local arboricultural firms, neighboring communities, media, nurseries, a climatological consulting <br />firm, or local civic groups. <br /> <br />3. Planning helps participants to agree on goals, assumptions, purposes, and resources. <br /> <br />4. Planning must be coordinated with all levels of government. <br /> <br />S. Mitigation planning must be coordinated with other types of plans (for example, the plans used by <br />the fire or police departments or utility company). <br /> <br />6. Approval of the final plan, by all participants, allows administrative responsibility to be assigned. <br /> <br />7. A good plan has four major characteristics: local relevance, public participation, technical <br />information, and cyclical monitoring evaluation. <br /> <br />8. Technical quality and clarity are essential to the plan. <br /> <br />9. Ratification of the plan can be built into the planning process itself. <br /> <br />10. Review and updating procedures of the plan are required. Annually review contact names and <br />telephone numbers. <br /> <br />123 <br />
