National Park <br />Servjce] <br /> <br />After you have identified your actions, develop <br />an action agenda. An action agenda helps focus <br />your tactics for implementing the plan. Using <br />the format from Table 5, create your action <br />agenda by focusing on the following key areas: <br /> <br />1 WHO. <br /> <br />Identify who is responsible for initiating and <br />implementing e,ach action. One person or <br />department could take the lead role (zoning <br />administrator, planning department or public <br />works department), but the work will probably <br />be shared by a number of other actors, depart- <br />ments and agencies such as the building <br />inspector, community development department, <br />emergency government department, other <br />governmental units such as DNR, Federal <br />Emergency Management Agency, Regional <br />Planning agencies. <br /> <br />'p, <br />Seek federal S$ aS~i . <br />to f1oodproof buildi . <br /> <br />Revjse existing'zbh~~ <br />ordin~nce to incluqe <br />i-~ protection rriea~~,~~'s'~ <br /> <br />Seek $$S assis.tan <br />.

In <br />addition, make sure each is informed of the <br />project and the project timeline. <br /> <br />2 HOW. <br /> <br />Identify how each action will be taken. Identify <br />the tool or method for implementing the action. <br />For example, flood proofing a commercial <br />building means hiring an engineering or <br />architectural consultant to develop <br />f1oodproofing concepts for each building, <br />meetings with individual property owners, <br />regulatory review of each design concept, <br />developing final plans and specifications for the <br />concept, and implementing the concept through <br />construction. <br /> <br />68 <br /> <br />COMM\lNITY FLOOD MITIGATlO~ PLANNI~G GUIDEBOOK <br />
