<br />B-1 <br />APPENDIX B. <br />PROCEDURES FOR LINKING TO <br />THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN <br /> <br />Not all eligible local governments within Kittitas County are included in the Kittitas County Hazard <br />Mitigation Plan. It is assumed that some or all of these non-participating local governments may choose to <br />“link” to the Plan at some point to gain eligibility for programs under the federal Disaster Mitigation Act. <br />In addition, some of the current partnership may not continue to meet eligibility requirements due to a lack <br />of participation as prescribed by the plan. The following “linkage” procedures define the requirements <br />established by the Plan’s Steering Committee and all planning partners for dealing with an increase or <br />decrease in the number of planning partners linked to this plan. It should be note d that a currently non- <br />participating jurisdiction within the defined planning area is not obligated to link to this plan. These <br />jurisdictions can chose to do their own “complete” plan that addresses all required elements of section 201.6 <br />of 44 CFR. <br />Increasing the Partnership through Linkage <br />The annual time period for the linkage process will be from ______ to ______ during any year.
