Maintain your plan.
As social, economic, and environmental conditions change in your community, pre-disaster planning strategies and actions will need to be monitored, evaluated, and adjusted over time. For long-term success, it is important to have regular plan updates (generally every five years) and the willingness to redirect critically important resources. The plan should serve as a resource for local staff, elected officials, and key stakeholders in the community, therefore the plan needs to be monitored, maintained, and adjusted by your team and/or department over time.
