Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan 58 4. Hazard Mitigation Strategy 4.1 Plan Goals The planning process included a review and update of the prior mitigation goals and objectives as a basis for the planning process and selection of appropriate mitigation actions addressing all hazards of concern. Of particular importance was addressing hazards disproportionately affecting populations with increasing risk to climate impacts. Upon consideration, participating jurisdictions opted to change the goals from the 2019 plan update to better align with county and community mitigation efforts. The 2025 goals are: Goal 1. Mitigate impacts to life, property, the economy and the environment from natural, technological, and human-caused hazards. Goal 2. Build and support local capacity to create resiliency from natural, technological, and human- caused hazards. Goal 3. Build resilience for critical infrastructure and systems against impacts of natural, technological and human-caused hazards. Goal 4. Increase education, outreach and awareness to the whole community to build resiliency. Communities were encouraged to use these goals as guideposts when reviewing, updating and adding new hazard mitigation actions. 4.2 Strategy Development Using the updated goals as a planning tool to guide mitigation planning efforts, the LPT collaborated to identify a 2025 hazard mitigation strategy that is both effective and feasible for the county and participating communities. As part of the process, communities reviewed the mitigation strategy from the previous plan and reported on the status of specific hazard mitigation actions, and then reviewed capabilities and risks to identify new hazard mitigation actions as appropriate. At the beginning of the planning process, the planning team set out participation requirements for jurisdictions to be considered full participants in the hazard mitigation plan. Among these requirements, each participating jurisdiction was required to identify at least one new or continuing hazard mitigation action to reduce risk in their community. 4.3 2019 Mitigation Action Reporting Communities were asked to review and update the hazard mitigation actions that were identified in the 2019 plan to better understand the progress that they had made, and to identify actions that they wanted to keep for the 2025 plan update. Communities reviewed each action and identified it in one of four categories: • Completed. The action has been completed. • Not started. The action has not been started but should be included in the updated strategy. • In progress. The action has been started but should still be included in the updated strategy.
