Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan 87 Action Number Jurisdiction Mitigation Action Name What is the problem the action is solving? How does the action solve the problem? Is this a continuing action from 2019 plan? Action Status 66 St. Anthony Sanitary Sewer Inflow/Infiltration Mitigation Inflow and infiltration into sanitary sewers, leading to sewer system backups Prevent inflow and infiltration into sanitary sewer, prevent sanitary sewer system backups Yes Not Started 67 All Urban Green Space Initiative Addresses the problem of urban heat islands, where densely developed areas experience higher temperatures due to minimal vegetation and heat- retaining surfaces. Identify priority urban areas with high heat island effects to develop green spaces, such as parks, green roofs, and shaded corridors. This project will involve planting native trees, installing permeable surfaces, and creating shaded recreational areas. By increasing vegetation cover, this action will help lower temperatures, improve air quality, and reduce energy demands for cooling. Additionally, green spaces can enhance stormwater management, reducing the risk of flooding during heavy rainfall by allowing for natural absorption. No New Action 68 All Business Resilience Preparedness Initiative Many small and medium-sized businesses in Ramsey County lack adequate preparedness for natural, technological, or human-caused hazards, leaving them vulnerable to disruptions that could jeopardize their long- term viability and impact the county’s economic stability. This action would equip businesses with the knowledge, tools, and training needed to prepare for, respond to, and recover from various hazards. The program would use educational materials from Ready.gov, facilitate business continuity assessments, guide program planning, and provide hands-on training and exercises to build resilience within the business community.
