Plan Adoptio  The action plans will be reviewed and revised to account for any actions completed, dropped, or changed and to account for changes in the risk assessment or new partnership policies identified under other planning mechanisms (such as the general plan).  The draft update will be sent to appropriate agencies and organizations for comment.  The public will be given an opportunity to comment on the update prior to adoption.  Planning partners’ governing bodies will adopt their portions of the updated plan. 23.2.5 Continuing Public Involvement The public will continue to be apprised of the plan’s progress through the San Mateo County DEM website, including providing copies of annual progress reports on the website. All planning partners have agreed to provide links to the County hazard mitigation plan website on their individual jurisdictional websites to increase avenues of public access to the plan. The County has agreed to maintain the hazard mitigation plan website. This site will house the final plan and serve as a one-stop site for information regarding the plan, the partnership and plan implementation. Upon initiation of future update processes, a new public involvement strategy will be initiated based on guidance from a new steering committee. This strategy will be based on the needs and capabilities of the planning partnership at the time of the update. At a minimum, this strategy will include the use of local media outlets within the planning area. StoryMap ArcGIS StoryMaps are a story authoring web-based application for sharing maps in the context of narrative text and other multimedia content. They allow the public to interface with property-specific information on risk identified by a local hazard mitigation plan. A StoryMap that was constructed during the course of this plan update process will be used to support the implementation of the plan by providing the public continuing access to the plan and its maintenance process. The StoryMap will remain with the County and continue as a template to support visual and data-based communication about the hazards relevant to San Mateo County. Following the completion of the plan update process, the Story Map will be released to the public and promoted through social media and the project website. It will include risk assessment results for all relevant hazards, an interactive hazard mapping tool, and a report function to produce comprehensive hazard exposure summaries for any given property, block, or defined area. The Story Map expanded opportunities for public outreach and the ways in which members of the public could interact with hazard data as the hazard mitigation plan update was underway. Figure 23-1 shows a page from the StoryMap for the San Mateo County Multijurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. 23.2.6 Incorporation into Other Planning Mechanisms The mitigation actions recommended in this plan will be incorporated into existing planning mechanisms and programs, such as comprehensive land-use planning processes, capital improvement planning, and building code enforcement and implementation. The information on hazard, risk, vulnerability, and mitigation contained in this plan is based on the best science and technology available at the time this update was prepared. 23-5
