<br />. ~SE# q <br /> <br />RESOLUTION TO ADOPT ANOKA COUNTY MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL <br />HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN <br />By: Dean Kapler, Fire ChieflEmergency Management Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), under the Disaster Mitigation Act of <br />2000 has ordained that every county and incorporated municipality within the county is <br />required to participate and complete a Hazard Mitigation Plan. Over the past 2 years each <br />community within Anoka County has been involved in creating a Multi-Jurisdictional <br />Hazard Mitigation Plan. The plan was sent to FEMA for review and was approved in its <br />first draft in late 2006. <br /> <br />The plan details the history of disasters exp~rienced in each community within Anoka <br />County, along with an extensive evaluation of both natural and man-made disaster <br />possibilities in the future. This evaluation includes an estimate of probability of such <br />event, along with a severity rating of impact to the community. <br /> <br />The document is quite lengthy and because certain segments are considered sensitive in <br />nature, a copy was not included with this case. Council is welcome to view the plan via <br />CD at their convenience. <br /> <br />Funding: <br /> <br />Extensive staff time was taken to prepare Ramsey's portion of the plan. Those staff costs <br />were incurred by the respective departments of Police, Fire and Public Works. The cost <br />of gathering all the communities input and creating the final document was absorbed by <br />the Emergency Management staff of Anoka County. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Adopt resolution 07-01-xx adopting the Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard <br />Mitigation Plan. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br /> <br />Fire Chief/Emergency M:TI::ement Director <br />Police Chief <br />Interim City Administr . <br /> <br />CC: 01123/2007 <br /> <br />-351- <br />
