Why Sustained Plan Maintenance is Important
  • Sustained plan maintenance keeps your Tribe’s mitigation goals moving forward.
  • Maintain momentum - through continued engagement and accountability in the plan’s progress.
  • Institutionalize and integrate mitigation principles - into your Tribe’s daily job responsibilities and roles
  • Conditions change - communities are dynamic- your Tribe may have new development not captured in your HMP and/or your exposure to risk may have changed; Plan Maintenance allows you to make mid-course corrections and ensures the HMP remains an active and relevant document.
  • Build on successes - if something works, use that process again!
  • If using a consultant for Proposals Development/Procurement – plan maintenance can help you keep on top of your plan to inform consultants on what needs to be updated most.
  • Planning Project execution - keeping an eye on the plan throughout its life can help you more easily implement mitigation projects.
