This in turn will help to reduce the costs when hazards do occur. <br /> The plan has been approved by the State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management <br /> and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The adoption of this plan by Ramsey County and the <br /> municipalities will allow them to be eligible for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program project funds. These <br /> funds will help to offset the costs of some of the mitigation projects set forth in the plan. <br /> -30- <br />
