-'y of Nashua is required to update its Hazard Mitigation Plan at least every five years. In order to monitor, evaluate, and update the
tion Strategies identified in Table 10—Implementation and Administration, the Resilient Nashua Initiative will continue to meet and
nate updates to the plan. Efforts will be made to ensure that key City staff members also participate, such as representatives from
ig, engineering, and building safety. The Resilient Nashua Initiative, will be responsible for working on updates to the Plan throughc
cycle. They will meet every 3 months or more frequently if a project is underway. Proposals or suggestions regarding the Hazard
tion Plan will go directly to this group. This will allow for the most efficient way to address hazard mitigation related issues. Due to
-ommunity Rating System requirements, a formal progress report is required on an annual basis including hazard impacts and mitigz
status since the last update.
