<br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br />EMERGENCY OPERATION PROCEDURES <br /> <br />Authority for the Arden Hills Emergency Management program is established by Public Law 920, 21st <br />Congress of Minnesota, State Civil Defense Act of1951, as amended, and Chapter 7 of the City of <br />Arden Hills Municipal Code. Refer to this Code for detailed information. <br /> <br />Foreword <br /> <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 oflife and property under a wide range of emergency conditions. <br /> <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 /> <br />Updatinl! and Distribution <br /> <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 /> <br />This plan will be reviewed and updated as necessary; but at least once every year. The Arden Hills <br />Emergency Management Director (City Administrator) will be responsible for ensuring that this <br />updating occurs. In order to carry out this task, the Director may request assistance from the Ramsey <br />County Emergency Management Director. This plan has been distributed to all City Government <br />departments and agencies that have emergency assignments in the event of a major disaster in the City <br />of Arden Hills. A plan distribution list will be maintained by the Arden Hills City Emergency <br />Management Director. <br /> <br />4 <br />
