<br />Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan 20 <br />those events have occurred since 2000, indicating a trend toward an increase in frequency and <br />intensity of heavy rainfall events. <br />2.10 Community Capabilities Assessment <br />Participating jurisdictions completed assessments of community capabilities, focusing on the following <br />capability areas: <br />• Planning and Regulatory <br />• Administrative and Technical <br />• Financial <br />• Education and Outreach <br />Assessment results were utilized by communities to identify both capability gaps and existing <br />capabilities that could be used to mitigate hazards. It is important to remember that the capabilities <br />assessment was not a test, and most communities had very valid reasons for having or not having <br />specific capabilities. <br />The following sections indicate specific capabilities in each community, as identified by that community. <br />2.10.1 PLANNING AND REGULATORY CAPABILITIES <br />Planning and regulatory capabilities include codes, ordinances, policies, laws, plans and programs that <br />guide growth and development. These capabilities can either support risk reduction or create areas that <br />are more vulnerable to disaster. <br />Table 4.
