Ramsey County-Wide Emergency Operations Plan Revision 5.1,June,2005 <br /> The County Manager is the County Incident Manager or will name a '1 <br /> designee as early as is practicable. To accomplish this, he/she will <br /> typically consult with the Emergency Operations Team. <br /> Additionally, the County Incident Manager will select and designate, at <br /> his/her discretion, additional members to the Emergency Operations Team <br /> to advise and assist in the performance of his/her duties. At all times, the <br /> County Incident Manager must communicate fully with the Board of <br /> Commissioners and ensure coordination of the use of resources from the <br /> county and local governments, state and federal agencies, in order to <br /> foster and expedite response and recovery throughout the county. <br /> COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS TEAM <br /> As incidents evolve, the need to coordinate the county's response <br /> between agencies requires that appropriate staff be assembled. Often, the <br /> team put together for an incident will be small — one or two department <br /> heads affected by the incident, the County Manager and EMHS staff, for <br /> instance. <br /> More severe or widespread incidents require more subject-matter experts. <br /> We recognize that these people need to know in advance that they may <br /> commonly be called on to serve in an emergency. So we have designated <br /> a standing Emergency Operations Team. This group serves as the core of <br /> the Emergency Management Council and as the core of the county's <br /> Emergency Operations Center staff. <br /> The primary role of this group is simple. Members of the group, or the <br /> entire group, will be called on to provide the Incident Manager with <br /> expertise and advice during emergencies. In addition to the County <br /> Manager (as Incident Manager)the team is made up of: <br /> • County Sheriff <br /> • County Attorney <br /> • Director of St. Paul Ramsey County Public Health <br /> • Director of EMHS <br /> • Director of Property Management <br /> • Director of Budgeting and Accounting <br /> • Director of Public Works <br /> • Director of Human Services <br /> • Director of Human Resources <br /> • Director of Data Processing/Information Services <br /> • Manager, Interoperable Radio System <br /> 42 <br />
