Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan 107 5. Plan Implementation and Maintenance Maintaining and ensuring the plan is kept up to date are integral components of the hazard mitigation plan life cycle. A structured process for these updates keeps the HMP current, informs any changes in risk, and maintains eligibility to applicable funding sources for Ramsey County and its communities. Plan maintenance will be coordinated by: • The Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator. • The Ramsey County Hazard Mitigation Plan Coordinator, as assigned. • The Ramsey County LPT, made up of representatives from each participating jurisdiction in Ramsey County. 5.1 Plan Implementation 5.1.1 FORMAL ADOPTION Formally adopting the Ramsey County HMP secures buy-in, raises awareness of the HMP, and formalizes the HMP’s implementation. Each jurisdiction participating in this plan will adopt it following all jurisdictional procedures. A copy of the generic resolution and the executed copies are included in the appendices. 5.1.2 IMPLEMENTATION Once the plan is adopted, each participating community may begin implementing the hazard mitigation strategy in Section 4 of this document. The mitigation strategy identifies responsible agencies and entities, general timelines, prioritization, and potential funding sources to assist in strategy implementation. 5.1.3 INTEGRATION WITH OTHER COMMUNITY INITIATIVES During the HMP annual review process, each participating municipality will be asked to document how they are utilizing and incorporating the Ramsey County HMP in tandem to their day-to-day operations and planning and regulatory processes. Additionally, each municipality will identify additional policies, programs, practices, and procedures that could be modified to accommodate hazard mitigation actions. Jurisdictions will ensure that mitigation efforts will translate into inclusive actions that enhance culturally competent practices that distribute resources fairly and justly to meet the needs of the whole community. The capabilities identified in in Section 2.10 offer a good starting point for further integration of the hazard mitigation plan into other community mechanisms. 5.1.4 CONTINUED PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Ramsey County and participating jurisdictions are committed to the continued involvement of the public in the hazard mitigation process. Public outreach and dissemination of the HMP will include: • Links to the plan on municipal websites of each jurisdiction with that capability. • Continued utilization of existing social media outlets to inform the public of natural hazard events. Educate the public via jurisdictional websites on how these applications can be used in an emergency.
