Ramsey County-Wide Emergency Operations Plan Revision 5.1 June,2005 <br /> Urban Area Security Initiative <br /> Ramsey County is a part of the St. Paul and Minneapolis Urban Area <br /> Security Initiative (UASI). This program of the federal government is based <br /> on the concept that (a)there are limited counter-terrorism resources <br /> available, (b) these resources are best used cooperatively and in <br /> consultation with others in the region who might be at higher than average <br /> risk for terrorist events, and (c) that response to any major event will <br /> require that agencies from multiple jurisdictions work together—thus <br /> requiring that these agencies plan together in advance. <br /> The result of this process was the development of a common planning and <br /> response strategy by the UASI partners. These include Ramsey County, <br /> Hennepin County, Dakota County, the City of St. Paul, the City of <br /> Minneapolis, and the State of Minnesota. The UASI also developed a <br /> common spending plan for utilization of federal counter-terrorism funds <br /> allocated to the area. <br /> The UASI strategy is a public safety sensitive document and is not <br /> reproduced here. <br /> 126 <br />
