<br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br />. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN <br /> Authority for the Arden Hills Emergency Management program is established by Public Law 920, 21 sl <br /> Congress of Minnesota, State Civil Defense Act of 1951, as amended, and Chapter 7 of the City of <br /> Arden Hills Municipal Code. Refer to this Code for detailed information. <br /> Foreword <br /> The basic purpose of this plan is to provide a guide for emergency operations. The plan is intended to <br /> assist key City officials and emergency organizations to carry out their responsibilities for the <br /> protection of life and property under a wide range of emergency conditions. <br /> Although an organization may have the foresight to plan for anticipated situations, such planning is of <br /> little value if it is not reduced to written form. Personnel with intimate knowledge of unwritten plans <br /> may be unavailable at the very time it becomes necessary to implement them. A written plan will <br /> furnish a documentary record which can be referred to as needed. This documentary record will serve <br /> to refresh the knowledge of key individuals and can be used to inform persons who become <br /> replacements. <br />. Plan Uodatine: and Distribution <br /> For purposes of this plan, the City of Arden Hills Emergency Management Director shall serve as the <br /> Planning Coordinator. As such, the Director will have overall authority and responsibility for the <br /> maintenance of the plan. The City Council has designated the City Administrator as Emergency <br /> Management Director. <br /> This plan will be reviewed and updated as necessary; but at least once every year. The Arden Hills <br /> Emergency Management Director will be responsible for ensuring that this updating occurs. In order to <br /> carry out this task, the Director may request assistance from the Ramsey County Emergency <br /> Management Director. This plan has been distributed to all City Government departments and agencies <br /> that have emergency assignments in the event of a major disaster in the City of Arden Hills. A plan <br /> distribution list will be maintained by the Arden Hills City Emergency Management Director. <br />. <br /> 4 <br />
