The hazards <br />were evaluated and ranked in terms of their potential risk to Anoka County and participating <br />municipalities. The decision to focus on the hazards <br />checked in the above table was based on research <br />of historical events, local knowledge, and the <br />general priorities for implementing mitigation - <br />planning efforts. The State of Minnesota Hazard <br />Mitigation Plan identifies Blizzards and Ice Storms <br />individually. For the purpose of this mitigation plan <br />those hazards are combined under Winter Weather. <br />In addition, Lightning, Windstorm and Hailstorm <br />were individually identified. As those hazards are <br />almost always encountered during thunderstorms, <br />they are combined in the thunderstorm category. <br />Infectious disease is a category that was re - <br />categorized under Epidemics/Pandemics, which <br />also includes Vectors. Water contamination is <br />categorized under public utilities and radiological is <br />categorized under Hazardous Materials. <br />44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part <br />201.6(c)(2)(i): The risk assessment shall <br />include a description of the type, location <br />and extent of all natural hazards that can <br />affect the jurisdiction. The plan shall <br />include information on previous <br />occurrences of hazard events and on the <br />probability of future hazard events <br />A. Does the plan include a description of <br />the types of all natural hazards that affect <br />the jurisdiction? If the hazard <br />identification omits (without explanation) <br />any hazards commonly recognized as <br />threats to the jurisdiction, this part of the <br />plan cannot receive a Satisfactory score. <br />During this update Methamphetamine Labs was removed from the 2019 plan. The planning <br />teams review found that the risks from Methamphetamine Labs was reduced to the level that no <br />longer warrant this as an identified hazard within Anoka County. In contract the planning team <br />identified Active Violence / Active Shooter as a new risk and the level has risen to the level that <br />warrants inclusion in the 2019 update. <br />90 <br />
