There are designated <br />Red Cross shelters and other facilities that are designated as shelters by municipalities and <br />Anoka County. The Hazard Mitigation Appendix A includes the identified shelters and their <br />characteristics. Local Jurisdictions have the responsibility for short term sheltering of individuals <br />due to evacuation for hours 0 to 12, after which Red Cross Shelters and other facilities would be <br />made ready to receive short term shelter evacuees depending on needs. <br />5.1.6 Previously Implemented Mitigation Measures <br />The success of future mitigation efforts in a community can be gauged to some extent by its <br />ongoing or past efforts. Previously implemented mitigation measures indicate that there is, or <br />has been, a desire to reduce the effects of natural hazards, and the success of these projects <br />can be influential in building local government support for new mitigation efforts. Anoka County's <br />previous mitigation efforts and programs include the following: <br />• Each jurisdiction in Anoka County supports a public works department and many <br />provide water and wastewater treatment facilities. <br />• Allina and North Medical provide emergency medical service throughout the <br />county. <br />• Law enforcement is provided for each municipality, either by the 10 municipal law <br />enforcement agencies, or by the Anoka County Sheriffs Office. <br />165 <br />Commented [REK161]: Shelter info updated 10-29-11 <br />
