Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan 108 • Expansion of outreach engagement strategies and use of alternative media platforms to reach the county’s hard-to-reach, diverse populations. 5.2 Monitoring, Evaluating and Updating the Plan Ramsey County Emergency Management & Homeland Security (RCEMHS) will manage the maintenance and update of the plan during its performance period. 5.2.1 MONITORING Each year, beginning one year after plan development, Ramsey County and local community representatives will collect and process information from the departments, agencies and organizations involved in implementing mitigation projects or activities identified in their jurisdictional annexes by contacting persons responsible for initiating and/or overseeing the mitigation projects.

The HMP will be evaluated on an annual basis to determine the effectiveness of the programs, and to reflect changes that could affect mitigation priorities or available funding. The status of the HMP will be discussed and documented at an annual plan review meeting of the Planning Partnership, to be held either in person or via teleconference approximately one year from the date of local adoption of this update, and successively thereafter. At least two weeks before the annual plan review meeting, the Ramsey County HMP Coordinator will advise the Planning Partnership of the meeting date, agenda and expectations of the members.
