Perform Community Engagement and Project Outreach NOTE: The performance of community engagement and outreach takes place throughout the life of the flood risk project. Work with your Region to develop a Project Outreach and Communication Plan (POOP). An alternate tracking method is acceptable with approval from the FEMA Regional Office. Up to 10 percent of the total budget can be used for Community Engagement. An additional (up to) 10 percent of the total budget can be used for Project Outreach. The activities identified here are for project specific community engagement and outreach. The overarching CERC MAS can be used for broader program wide engagement activities. Responsible Mapping Partner: Kittitas County Public Works Scope: Community Engagement This task includes activities for the CTP to provide supplementary support to the Mapping Partner responsible for the Community Engagement activities funded through the Project Management MAS or other contracts. Community Engagement activities funded through this MAS shall not supplant or duplicate Community Engagement activities funded through other grants or contracts. There is a separate Statement of Work document used to document additional program wide Community Engagement and Risk Communication activities performed by CTPs. The activities listed below are intended to support on-going project efforts that foster working relationships between ffederal, state, tribal and local governments with private and public interests in order to reduce the impact of natural disasters where a community's interaction with a natural hazard may be altered or averted. These activities should be reviewed for implementation throughout the Risk MAP lifecycle, including the defined meetings within it. It is expected that including these approaches will assist in increased risk awareness and the development of actionable measures to reduce risk within the Flood Risk Project footprints. These activities should be implemented as directed by the Project Officer to: • Increase the understanding of natural hazard risk within a community. • Support local efforts to reduce natural hazard risk within a community or watershed area. • Increase the effectiveness of meetings and engagement opportunities with communities throughout the Risk MAP life cycle. Note: Community mitigation action cannot be purchased (meaning, mitigation projects cannot be purchased through a Risk MAP project); however, it can be influenced and advanced by proper project and communications planning throughout the Risk MAP process. Strategic communication planning can be assisted by the tools and tactics identified below. Watershed and Community Assessment.
