ALBERT H. QUIE <br /> GOVERNOR <br /> <br />~TATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> OFIrlCIS OF Tills (~OVlsRNOR <br /> <br /> ST. I>AUL 55155 <br /> February 7, 1980 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor: <br /> <br />The State of Minnesota will again hold the Conference on Natural Disasters on <br />Friday, March 14, 1980, at the Sheraton-Ritz Hotel, 315 Nico[let Mall, Minneapolis, <br />Minnesota, as a part of the State's Preparedness Program. PLease consider this <br />an invitation to you, members of your City Council, and your City Civil Defense <br />Director to attend. <br /> <br />The winter of 1979-1980 has been very mild up to this point. Historically, heavy <br />precipitation generally occurs in the latter part of February and March. We 6nly <br />have to recall the winter storms of 1965, 1966, and 1969 to 'verify-this. It is <br />my concern that we do not permit ourselves to become complacent. Municipal and <br />county governments must be prepared to respond immediately to any threat to life <br />and property, and the State of Minnesota must be prepared to support you. <br /> <br />This year, the Conference will focus on changes in regulations relating to both <br />public and individual assistance which have occurred since last year's Conference. <br />These changes will have a great effect on assistance to areas.devastated by spring <br />floods. In addition, Mr. John Graff, Meteorologist in Charge of the National . <br />Weather Service Forecast Office of Minneapolis, will present the spring weather <br />outlook for 1980. <br /> <br />If your schedule will permit, I encourage you to attend. Should your community <br />be damaged by a disaster, the information that will be provided at this Conference <br />will be most important to you. <br /> <br />With best personal regards, I am <br /> <br />Sincerely yo~ <br /> <br />ALBERT H. QUIE <br />GOVERNOR <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br /> <br /> <br />
