This plan <br />identifies community capabilities, provides an assessment of risks to the county and its <br />communities, and lays out community mitigation strategies that reduce risks posed by a <br />variety of hazards. The plan must be updated and approved by FEMA every five years to keep it <br />current and to maintain eligibility for mitigation grant assistance. The plan has been updated in <br />accordance with FEMA’s updated hazard mitigation planning guidance and is anticipated to be <br />submitted for FEMA approval by the end of the year. During the process, Ramsey County and <br />its communities have reviewed capabilities, assessed levels of risk to specific hazards, and <br />developed a comprehensive hazard mitigation strategy that builds on capabilities to buy down <br />those risks. <br /> <br />One of the key elements of the plan development process is inviting stakeholders to provide <br />input during the planning process. You have been identified by Ramsey County as a key <br />partner. The County invites you to provide any input or comment on the plan as they work <br />through the final stages of development. <br /> <br />We ask that you review the draft plan, which can be accessed here: Ramsey County Hazard <br />Mitigation Plan – Review Draft <br /> <br />Please provide any feedback utilizing this link: Ramsey County Hazard Mitigation Plan – <br />Feedback Survey <br /> <br />The plan will be available for stakeholder review and comment until December 22. <br /> <br />More information about hazard mitigation and mitigation planning can be found at <br />https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/risk-management/hazard-mitigation-planning. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br /> <br />Kyle <br /> <br />Kyle Karsjen <br />Senior Preparedness Specialist <br />Policy, Mitigation and Resilience <br /> <br />
