Abstract
  • This paper will attempt to evaluate the prospects of the PWG's success based on their process so far, using models of policy development and implementation from Kingdon (1984), Putt and Springer (1989), and Sabatier and Mazmanian (1983). Because the PWG's work is not finished, the evaluation may help the group improve on weaknesses; increasing their chances of getting their recommendations accepted. Although the desired outcome is complete adoption of the recommendations, partial implementation may also be considered a success for the group. The recommendations will apply to issues that can 'stand alone,' such as emergency management and land use policy. These recommendations will be submitted for adoption at different levels of government, and each one implemented can be considered a partial success for the PWG. The paper will detail more fully the hazards and political framework the PWG evaluated, then discuss the criteria for success using several different policy models. An evaluation of the PWG's work using the criteria will follow. Several of the criteria used to evaluate the PWG's process include: the credibility of the process, the representativenesss of the group, the involvement and support of the public, the presence of visible and hidden participants, and whether the process was carried out correctly by the group. The actual recommendations of the group will not be evaluated as the author was not involved in the latter stages of the PWG's process. However, the major issues the group discussed may appear throughout the paper.
