<br />Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan 88 <br />Action <br />Number Jurisdiction <br />Mitigation Action <br />Name <br />What is the problem <br />the action is solving? How does the action solve the problem? <br />Is this a <br />continuing <br />action from <br />2019 plan? Action Status <br />69 All <br />Cultural Competency <br />Communication <br />Audit <br />Hazard education, <br />outreach, and public <br />warning efforts in <br />Ramsey County may <br />not fully address the <br />diverse cultural, <br />linguistic, and <br />accessibility needs of <br />its population, leading <br />to ineffective <br />communication and <br />reduced preparedness <br />for certain <br />communities. <br />This action will assess current internal <br />communication methods to identify gaps <br />in cultural competency, especially <br />regarding hazard information <br />dissemination. By identifying barriers and <br />recommending inclusive communication <br />practices, the audit will help ensure that <br />hazard messages reach and resonate with <br />all community members. No New Action <br />70 All <br />Senior Hazard <br />Awareness and <br />Preparedness <br />Outreach <br />Seniors in Ramsey <br />County may be more <br />vulnerable to the <br />impacts of natural, <br />technological, and <br />human-caused <br />hazards due to <br />physical limitations, <br />limited access to <br />emergency <br />information, and <br />specific medical or <br />mobility needs. <br />Limited awareness or <br />preparedness could <br />heighten their risk in <br />disaster situations. <br />This action would deliver targeted <br />education and outreach to the senior <br />population, focusing on hazard <br />awareness, preparedness actions, and <br />mitigation strategies. This initiative <br />includes informational sessions, <br />accessible resources, and guidance on <br />personal preparedness actions, such as <br />emergency supply kits, evacuation plans, <br />and home adaptations to mitigate hazard <br />risks.
