LMS 2025-2030 PLANNING PROCESS4 PART 1: THE STRATEGY The LMS Chair with the assistance of the LMS Steering Committee, and input from the LMSWG, LMS subcommittees, and the public, updates and maintains this plan. Updates are based on factors such as recent disaster events, changes in Local, State, and Federal policies, emerging issues such as aging infrastructure, and new development projects that impact Miami -Dade County communities. The LMS Chair includes a listing of the revisions made to this plan in relation to these factors, which is documented in the Part 4 Appendix A: List of LMS Changes. Annual Updates The LMS is updated on an annual basis. These updates are based on reviews from the LMS Chair and input from partners regarding the effectiveness of the plan in reducing the County's vulnerability to hazards and in achieving LMS goals. Any proposed changes are reviewed for integration with the LMS and Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) crosswalks provided by FDEM, the Emergency Management Accreditation Pro- gram (EMAP) Standards, the Community Rating System (CRS) Coordinator's Manual, and the Threat Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA). An annual update to the LMS is provided to the State by the last working day of January and the documents are subsequently posted on the Miami -Dade County website. Five -Year Update A complete State and Federal review and approval of this plan is conducted on a five- year cycle. The plan has undergone review and approval from FDEM with delegated authority from FEMA every five (5) years since 2000. This current plan is in effect from 2025-2030. The five-year review process incorporates the annual updates and a review of the FDEM LMS Crosswalk. FDEM notifies the LMS Chair 12-months in advance of the plan expiration date. The LMS Plan is updated and prepared at least eight (8) months prior to its expiration for public review and comments on the plan. Once all comments are reviewed and incorporated, the updated LMS is submitted to FDEM by the LMS Chair for review no later than six (6) months prior to its expiration date. FDEM will review the LMS Plan and provide comments, and if needed, the LMS Chair will make revisions to satisfy any State LMS Crosswalk deficiencies. Once the plan has been approved by the State and FEMA, individual jurisdictions and agencies must adopt the plan and provide the resolutions adopting the plan to the LMS Chair so that they may be forwarded to the State and FEMA to receive approved status. 4 EMAP 2016 Standard 4.2.1.(2) im
