Lamar County Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Chapter Four 4.3 PRIORITIZATION Once mitigation actions and projects were recommended by the Mitigation Team, they were organized by hazard in Table 4.3. Tach action was discussed publicly and with the HMPT. After considering the public's input and other opinions, the HMPT members selected and prioritized the actions in the order ( #! Being the highest priority ranking) they should be implemented should they receive funding. These actions are summarized in Table 4.3 which includes their priority and a schedule of when the action(s) may begin. The categories of cost, citizens served, Probability of Future Evetns, and # of hazards mitigated by the Action were considered when prioritizing rank of the actions. Note that these priorities are subject to change. It is also important to note that additional mitigation actions will be included as more of the public become involved, as the plan is updated, and as funding becomes available to the Lamar County and the jurisdictions within. In Table 4.3 the following scales were used for eachc category: • Cost Rank (Cost of Project Compared other projects) 1. Most expensive Action 2. Next expensive Action 3.
