<br /> <br />Plan Development Methodology <br /> <br />3.7.5 Public Meetings and Community Partners <br />The planning process provided numerous public meeting opportunities. Some public meetings were directly <br />related to the planning process and others were supportive of the planning process, reaching community members <br />who would otherwise not be directly involved with hazard mitigation planning. Over 20 public meetings were <br />directly organized by the County to target outreach and solicit feedback from a diverse range of County <br />stakeholders and community members. To expand the reach of the planning outreach, the County partnered with <br />eight community-based organizations to target socially vulnerable members of the community: <br /> Bay Area Community Health Advisory Council <br /> Ayundando Latinos a Sonar <br /> Senior Coastsiders <br /> Sustainable South Coast <br /> Center for Independence of Individuals with Disabilities <br /> El Concilio of San Mateo County <br /> Nuestra Casa <br /> Climate Resilient Communities <br />Each community partner held its own community outreach events and meetings, in coordination with County and <br />planning partner staff, amplifying the reach of the public outreach efforts. Table 3-3 lists the County-managed <br />public meetings. Figure 3-4 shows a screenshot of a typical virtual public meeting. A report summarizing the <br />outreach efforts is included in Appendix B. <br /> <br />Table 3-3.
