1. AGENDA ITEMS
A. TCAAP Discussion
City Administrator Perrault stated that on October 24, 2019, the Council provided staff with
direction regarding the cooperative agreement and per Council direction, the Council’s position
was provided to Ramsey County representatives. However, very shortly thereafter, Ramsey
County announced that they were diverting resources away from TCAAP.
Councilmember Holden asked if the County ever formally responded to the City.
City Administrator Perrault stated this did not occur.
City Administrator Perrault commented on the City planning costs for consultant and staff time
and stated the Developer indicated it was comfortable with this dollar figure. He discussed how
increased public safety costs would be covered by the County until TCAAP generated enough tax
revenue to cover expenses. He reviewed the adjusted SAC and WAC fee language. He also
indicated the fee schedule and special assessments had been adjusted.
Mayor Grant thanked staff for the summary and suggested the Council review the cooperative
agreement page by page.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 16, 2019 2
Councilmember Holmes stated she had a problem with Items B and C on Page S1. She
recommended the word contemplates be changed to provides.
Mayor Grant asked if Alatus had to be named within the agreement.
Councilmember McClung commented the cooperative agreement was between the City and the
County.
Further discussion ensued regarding the phasing of the TCAAP development.
Councilmember Scott requested further information on how staff defined vertical developers.
Ms. Kvilvang stated TCAAP would have multiple vertical developers and one master developer.
Councilmember Holden questioned how the City would get its money.
City Administrator Perrault stated planning area charges would be paid directly to the City at
the time of platting.
Ms. Kvilvang reported the City would be doing all of the calculating to ensure the City is paid
properly for the planning area charges.
Councilmember Holmes commented on the City utility fees and asked if the City would have to
borrow in order to install the utilities.
Ms. Kvilvang explained the City will issue the County a note. She said the County would front
the money to pay for the utilities. The City would then pay the note upon receiving city SAC and
WAC fees.
Mayor Grant questioned what the interest rate would be on the note.
Ms. Kvilvang reported the interest rate would be 4%.
Councilmember Holden stated this was significant money because the development was being
phased in a different manner than was originally planned by the City Council. She asked if the
4% was negotiable.
Ms. Kvilvang commented the interest rate was negotiable.
Councilmember Holden discussed the interest rate on the note. She asked how long it would take
the City to build a water tower.
City Attorney Jamnik estimated this would take a year to complete between drafting plans and
actual construction.
Councilmember Holden requested further information on Option 2D.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 16, 2019 3
City Administrator Perrault explained if the County were to complete the water tower, the City
would adjust the WAC accordingly on an annual basis.
City Attorney Jamnik commented the City did not have to make a choice this evening regarding
the water tower but could state their preference.
Councilmember Holmes asked if the City was protected and that all fees would be covered by
SAC and WAC charges.
Ms. Kvilvang reported the preferred option would be Option 2, which would limit the City’s risk.
Mayor Grant commented on the fee schedule and asked if the fees could be adjusted by the JDA.
City Attorney Jamnik advised the JDA would have their own fees and could not adjust the
City’s fee schedule.
Councilmember Holmes believed that Exhibit F was problematic. She recommended the
language regarding storm drainage and snow removal services be further clarified.
Ms. Kvilvang commented some of the terms within the exhibits still need to be negotiated.
Councilmember Holden questioned if a TIF district could be approved within TCAAP.
Ms. Kvilvang reported this could be done.
Councilmember Holmes asked if the TIF deadlines should be extended.
City Attorney Jamnik recommended the Council not extend the TIF deadlines at this time. He
commented this was a strategy matter that the Council should discuss further.
Councilmember Holden asked if the number included for planning recovery costs should be
adjusted.
City Attorney Jamnik advised the number remain as is for the time being and that additional
costs be added in the future. He explained the AUAR would have to be updated after five years
and these expenses would have to be rolled into the development costs.
Councilmember Holmes stated the language within the cooperative agreement should perhaps
read: the current amount.
City Attorney Jamnik commented this could be done but anticipated this would lead to rounds
and rounds of negotiations with the County.
Councilmember Holden requested clarification on the assessment language.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 16, 2019 4
City Attorney Jamnik reviewed the assessment language with the Council and reported the
statement within the cooperative agreement insulates the City. He recommended Exhibit N
remain in place.
Councilmember Holmes requested the reference to “others” be clarified within the agreement.
Ms. Kvilvang questioned if the master stormwater agreement would be included in the
cooperative agreement.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated she would add language into the cooperative
agreement to address a master stormwater agreement.
Mayor Grant turned the discussion to the Option Agreement. He recommended Sue Iverson’s
name be removed from the signature line.
City Attorney Jamnik commented the JDA Attorney would also have to be clarified in this
document.
Discussion ensued regarding the timeline for development for Alatus and when the clock would
start for the Civic Site.
Councilmember Holmes suggested the clock start within two years or with the first vertical
development within Tranche 2.
Councilmember Holden commented on G4 stating she had a problem with the statement: “the
use being approved by the landowner”.
Mayor Grant recommended this language be removed.
City Attorney Jamnik explained the developer does not want the City to store salt on the Civic
Site but rather wants an amenity that enhances the Town Center project. He stated language could
be added to define the minimum improvements the City would be willing to make. He anticipated
the developer would not want the language removed altogether.
Councilmember Holden indicated the City was willing to put something on this land but did not
want the developer to have the power to say if it is or isn’t good enough.
Councilmember Holmes suggested the language be removed and if the developer would like to
put in the language back in it cannot be so vague.
Ms. Kvilvang reviewed the facilities that were acceptable for the Civic Site within the Option
Agreement.
City Planner Mrosla commented the developer may have concerns with the architecture of the
building.
ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 16, 2019 5
City Attorney Jamnik anticipated both parties would have to work together on the Civic Site
property in order to move this project forward.
Councilmember Holmes asked if the Council would be approving the cooperative agreement.
Mayor Grant reported a vote on this document would occur at some point in the future, but not at
this time. He questioned when staff would have the revised documents for the City Council to
review.
City Attorney Jamnik explained he would have the documents revised and back to the Council
on Friday.
Councilmember McClung was pleased that the Council was working to move these documents
forward. He appreciated the fact that the City was taking the high ground.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
JANUARY 22, 2019
5:00 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Grant called to order the City Council
Work Session at 5:00 p.m.
Present: Mayor David Grant; Councilmembers Brenda Holden, Fran Holmes, Dave
McClung and Steve Scott
Absent: None
Also present: City Administrator Dave Perrault; Public Works Director/City Engineer Sue
Polka; Chris Harrington and Jordan Horejsi, H.R. Green; and City Clerk Julie Hanson
1. AGENDA ITEMS
A. Pedestrian Improvements (Hamline & Floral and Hamline & Wyncrest)
Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated currently there are two crosswalks on
Hamline Avenue south of Highway 96, at the intersection of Wyncrest Court and a midblock
crosswalk between Indian Oaks Circle and Eide Circle. Due to concerns of pedestrian safety in
these areas, staff had HR Green complete an analysis and provide recommendations.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka provided the Council with a summary of the
recommendations regarding the locations of Wyncrest Court and also mid-block between Indian
Oaks Circle and Eide Circle:
Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated H.R. Green also considered the LED
flashing beacons that are activated by pedestrians (similar to those on Old Snelling at Bethel
Drive) and does not recommend utilizing the signs at these locations as detailed in the report. She
reported she spoke with the County regarding these pedestrian improvements and explained the
County may be willing to share the cost 50/50.
Councilmember McClung indicated he was pleased there was something the City could do. He
questioned if the mid-block crosswalk would be effective.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 22, 2019 2
Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka commented if she was walking on that trail, she
would stop before stepping out onto the street because even though pedestrians have the right of
way, cars do not always stop. She recommended the City continue to educate the public on
pedestrian safety.
Jordan Horejsi, HR Green, discussed the pros and cons of flashing lights near crosswalks. He
explained the refuge could be combined with the flashing lights, but noted this would be a more
expensive option. He commented the refuge would tell drivers something was different when
approaching the crosswalk and may be safer than what was currently there.
Councilmember Holden stated she feared drivers would only view the flashing light and not the
pedestrian. She explained it was State law to stop for pedestrians within a crosswalk. She
recommended the Sheriff sit in this area and hand out tickets in order educate residents on this
law.
Councilmember Holmes commented on flashing lights along County Road E2 near the
elementary school. She noted these lights were not flashing all the time, but rather when students
needed to cross the street to get to school. She was of the opinion traffic obeyed the flashing
lights and were more cautious of pedestrians due to how that particular light functioned.
Councilmember McClung agreed but noted the speed of traffic along County Road E2 was
slower than along Hamline Avenue. He indicated the higher rate of speed along Hamline Avenue
may impact driver’s ability to stop for pedestrians.
Councilmember Scott reported he supported the pedestrian refuge at both pedestrian
intersections with flashing lights at the trail crossing.
Councilmember McClung agreed with this recommendation.
Mr. Horejsi stated he liked the combination of the pedestrian refuge and flashing lights.
Councilmember Holden commented she was pleased the County was willing to pay for half of
the pedestrian crossing expenses.
Mayor Grant asked if the Council supported this item moving forward for approval.
Council consensus was to direct staff to bring this item back for approval at an upcoming Council
meeting.
B. Tobacco Discussion
City Clerk Hanson explained that the Council first discussed potentially amending the City’s
tobacco ordinance at its August 20, 2018 work session, followed by the opportunity for vendor
comment at its October 15, 2018, work session, and an additional public comment opportunity at
a November 13, 2018 public hearing.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 22, 2019 3
City Clerk Hanson referenced the updated list of communities and the actions they have taken, if
any, regarding Tobacco 21. She asked the Council for direction regarding a potential ordinance
amendment that would increase the sales age to 21 and/or regulate flavored tobacco products.
Mayor Grant asked if the State was drafting language to address this issue.
Councilmember Holden stated language was being drafted, but this did not mean it would be
approved.
Councilmember Scott indicated the FDA was considering banning all flavored tobacco sales and
Juul was going to pull their products from stores and would be conducting online sales only. He
stated he was in favor of banning flavored products sales in Arden Hills.
Councilmember Holden anticipated that anything approved by the FDA would take quite some
time to trickle down to Arden Hills.
Councilmember McClung stated he was in favor of increasing the legal age to 21 for all tobacco
products as well as limiting the sale of flavored and menthol products to a tobacco store in the
City of Arden Hills.
Councilmember Holmes requested further information on how the City or State defined flavored
tobacco.
Kristin Ackert, Association for Non-Smokers MN, described how the State defines flavored
tobacco noting this included, mint, menthol, fruit and candy flavored tobacco products. She
reported some cities have determined flavored sales should occur only in adult, dedicated tobacco
shops.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the City could address this issue in steps. She stated
perhaps the Council should consider raising the legal age to 21 and then after that consider
regulating the sale of flavored tobacco in the City.
Mayor Grant questioned if the Council wanted to wait for the State to take action on the tobacco
age.
Councilmember Holmes stated she did not support waiting for the State, but rather would like to
see the City Council take action now.
Councilmember McClung agreed.
Mayor Grant stated there was consensus amongst the Council to change the legal age of tobacco
sales to 21. He explained he supported the City restricting the sale of flavored tobacco. He feared
that smokeless tobacco was becoming a gateway for teens. He indicated menthol was also a
problem.
Councilmember Holden asked if there were any flavors the City wanted to allow.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 22, 2019 4
A discussion ensued regarding flavored tobacco products.
Mayor Grant discussed the difference of limiting flavored tobacco sales to a tobacco shop versus
a complete ban of flavored tobacco sales. He stated he supported the ban of flavored tobacco
sales in Arden Hills.
Councilmember McClung explained flavored tobacco was being marketed strictly to kids. He
stated there has been a ground swell of cities taking action which may lead to State action.
Mayor Grant questioned how other cities drafted an Ordinance to address flavored tobacco sales.
Ms. Ackert commented on the best practice language that had been drafted and recommended the
City’s Ordinance include address flavored tobacco as being candy, fruit, mint and menthol. She
reported she could share this language with City staff.
Councilmember Holden stated she supported banning the sale of flavored tobacco in Arden
Hills.
Mayor Grant explained he could also support a full ban of flavored tobacco.
Further discussion ensued regarding the regulations neighboring communities have in place with
respect to flavored tobacco.
Councilmember Holden stated she could support no flavored tobacco being sold in Arden Hills.
Mayor Grant and Councilmember McClung were both in agreement.
Council consensus was to direct staff to move forward with drafting an Ordinance that would
change the tobacco sales age to 21 and to ban the sale of flavored tobacco in the City of Arden
Hills.
Mayor Grant recommended an effective date of three months after the Ordinance was approved
by the City Council.
City Clerk Hanson commented she would reach out to local tobacco vendors regarding the
Ordinance change.
C. Lobby Furniture
City Administrator Perrault stated the current furniture in the City Hall lobby is approximately
sixteen years old, and was bought when the current City Hall was constructed. The furniture is
beginning to show its age, and staff has been researching options to replace it. He referenced the
example attached in the Council’s packets as a starting point.
Councilmember Holden supported staff moving forward with lobby furniture. She
recommended staff sit in the furniture to ensure it was comfortable and durable. She suggested
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 22, 2019 5
the furniture also be high enough off the ground that the elderly can get easily in and out of the
chairs or couches.
The Council was in consensus regarding the need for new lobby furniture.
Mayor Grant requested staff report back to the City Council with options. He asked that staff
make a recommendation on what will be done with the existing furniture.
D. Council Request Tracker
City Administrator Perrault reviewed the Council Request Tracker with the City Council.
Mayor Grant requested the trail information be updated and reported back to the Council.
Councilmember Holden commented on the vacant house on County Road E2. She requested
staff provide the Council with an update on this property. She discussed the conversation she had
with the corrections crew staff and described the work they could conduct in the city. She
anticipated the corrections crew would greatly assist the Public Works Department in the coming
year, especially with buckthorn removal.
Councilmember Holmes explained City Planner Mrosla would be pursuing a Green Corps intern.
2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES
Councilmember Holden requested staff put the new and old water rates on the utility bills for the
benefit of residents.
Councilmember Holden requested staff investigate why Arden Hills only gets 50% pay back
from the County when every other city in the county was receiving 75% from state citations.
Councilmember Holden noted she may not be able to attend the Monday, January 28 Council
meeting.
Councilmember Scott commented on a recent event he attended with the National Guard. He
stated he encouraged the Colonel to better communicate these events with the City.
City Administrator Perrault explained he would be speaking with the City Administrator from
Rosemount to learn more about how they interact with the National Guard.
Councilmember Holmes stated she spoke with Finance Director Bauman regarding the proposed
fine ($250) that would be sent to properties that would not allow staff to read their meters. She
indicated there were five properties at this time. She explained she did not support sending a fine
to these properties but rather would like to see staff working with these homeowners.
Councilmember Holmes reported she would be absent the entire month of April.
Councilmember McClung commented he may be missing the first meeting in April.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 22, 2019 6
Councilmember McClung explained Ramsey County Communications Center went online with
an app called Pulse Point. He described how this initiative would assist residents and medical
professionals in managing cardiac arrest situations.
Councilmember Holden commented on the recent Fire Department report. She expressed
concern with the response times within Arden Hills and recommended any new fire stations be
considered in Arden Hills to address this concern.
Councilmember McClung reported Fire Station No. 4 was maxed out and noted a new Fire
Station was needed south of County Road F and west of Victoria. He stated ideally, a station
would locate at the corner of County Road F and Lexington Avenue.
Councilmember Holden commented Paul Beggin received the Paul Harris Achievement Award
from the Rotary. She explained the Rotary awards dinner would be held on Thursday, February 7
from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Mayor Grant stated he has been reviewing several past agendas. He noted there were many that
were comprised of consent items only. He proposed the Council hold one official meeting per
month at the end of the month and that a second meeting be held only if there was a pressing
matter.
Councilmember Holden indicated she could support this change.
Mayor Grant stated he was trying to move away from the City holding meetings just for the sake
of holding meetings.
Councilmember McClung commented he liked this idea.
City Clerk Hanson reported this would require an Ordinance amendment if the Council decided
to officially hold one regular meeting per month.
Council consensus was to direct staff to look at moving forward with one Council meeting a
month. Mayor Grant stated he would work with City Administrator Perrault further on this
matter.
City Administrator Perrault stated there were no pressing EDA matters so the EDA meeting
would be canceled for Monday, January 28.

Mayor Grant adjourned the City Council Work Session at 6:35 p.m.

participate in the cost of the crosswalk improvements, they will most likely not participate in the
cost of the RRFB (approximately $15,000). The County’s share of the crosswalk design and
construction will be approximately $25,000.

Subject: Arden Hills – Hamline Avenue Crosswalk Design and Construction Services
Dear Sue:
We are pleased to present this proposal to provide consulting engineer services regarding planned
improvements to existing pedestrian crosswalks on Hamline Avenue. The goal of our proposed work is
to provide design and construction administration services to the City of Arden Hills for construction of
features that will create safer crossings for pedestrians and motorists at the intersection of Wyncrest
Court and Hamline Avenue and at the midblock crossing on Hamline Avenue between Indian Oaks
Circle and Eide Circle (also known as the “Route 37 trail” crossing).
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Currently, there are two crosswalk locations on the segment of Hamline Avenue between County Road
96 and I-694 that the City of Arden Hills intends to improve for greater pedestrian safety. The crossings
are located at Wyncrest Court and Eide Circle (see image below). This project will result in one
construction plan set for the City’s selection of a contractor to build the improvements in 2019.
Consulting services will also include collection of survey data and observation of construction.
Project Area: Hamline Avenue at Wyncrest Court, Site A;
Trail crossing between Indian Oaks Circle and Eide Circle, Site B

SUBJECT: Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
Council Should Consider
Ramsey County Emergency Management has updated the County-wide hazard mitigation plan.
Council should consider adopting Resolution 2019-007 adopting the Ramsey County Multi-
Hazard Mitigation Plan (Attachment A).
Discussion
The Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation identifies potential areas or processes that could be
implemented or improved in order to minimize the potential effects of severe weather, flooding,
terrorism, fires, and other issues that could adversely affect the different communities in Ramsey
County. Local governments are required to approve a hazard mitigation plan in order to receive
federal dollars for reconstruction efforts caused by natural or man-made disasters. If approved
by the City Council, as has been done in the past, the mitigation plan created by Ramsey County
will bring the City of Arden Hills into compliance with federal regulations.
As in the past, due to ongoing changes to federal regulations, City staff believes it is more
efficient for the City of Arden Hills to participate in this joint effort. It allows the City to utilize
the County’s expertise in emergency management preparedness and homeland security
requirements. A county-wide plan creates a more unified emergency response effort in light of
cities’ contracts with the Ramsey County Sheriff and Lake Johanna Fire Departments.
Due to the size of the document, the full plan is attached to this agenda packet on the City’s
website (2018 Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan) and can also be found at the
following website: https://scse.d.umn.edu/Ramsey-county-mhmp. Attachment B includes the

Section 1 – Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Hazard mitigation is defined as any sustained action to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life
and property from hazards. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has made reducing
hazards one of its primary goals; hazard mitigation planning and the subsequent implementation of
resulting projects, measures and policies is a primary mechanism in achieving FEMA’s goal.
Between 1960 and 2014, natural hazards cost the U.S. an annual average loss of $15.6 billion (Hazards &
Vulnerability Research Institute, 2015).
Hazard mitigation planning and preparedness will be the most effective instrument to diminish losses by
reducing the impact of disasters upon people and property. Although mitigation efforts will not eliminate
all disasters, each county shall endeavor to be as prepared as possible for a disaster.
The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) is a requirement of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of
2000 (DMA 2000). The development of a local government plan is required to maintain eligibility for
federal hazard mitigation grant funding programs. For communities to be eligible for future mitigation
funds, they must adopt an MHMP. This plan update has been prepared as a result of Pre-Disaster
Mitigation (PDM) Grant Program funds. These funds are disbursed by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) through Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management
(HSEM).
Researchers at the National Institute of Building Sciences looked at the results of 23 years of federally
funded mitigation grants provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S.
Economic Development Administration (EDA) and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) and found mitigation funding can save the nation $6 in future disaster costs, for
every $1 spent on hazard mitigation (National Institute of Building Sciences, 2017).
Ramsey County is vulnerable to a variety of potential natural disasters, which threaten the loss of life
and property in the county. Hazards such as tornadoes, flooding, wildfires, blizzards, straight-line winds,
ice storms and droughts have the potential for inflicting vast economic loss and personal hardship. In
2013, Minnesota had some of the highest weather-related disaster claims in the country (MN
Environmental Quality Board, 2014).
This Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan represents the efforts of Ramsey County and its local governments to
fulfill the responsibility for hazard mitigation planning. The intent of the plan is to reduce the actual
threat of specific hazards by limiting the impact of damages and losses.
1.1.1 Scope
Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security and the University of Minnesota
Duluth Geospatial Analysis Center (GAC) have combined efforts to update the 2012 Ramsey County
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan. The GAC contracted with Hundrieser Consulting LLC for additional
emergency management planning expertise and facilitation.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 10
This Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan evaluates and ranks the major natural hazards affecting Ramsey
County as determined by frequency of event, economic impact, deaths and injuries. Mitigation
recommendations are based on input from state and local agencies, public input and national best
practices. While the primary focus of the plan is to evaluate the County’s potential exposure to natural
hazards and identify appropriate mitigation actions, Ramsey County has expanded the scope of this
planning effort to include additional technological hazards, though this plan conforms to federal
mitigation planning requirements.
The University of Minnesota Duluth Geospatial Analysis Center (GAC) performed the hazard risk
assessment for 100-year floods using the Hazus GIS tool. The Minnesota Homeland Security and
Emergency Management (HSEM) office has determined that Hazus should play a critical role in
Minnesota’s risk assessments, and therefore the 100-year flood hazard analysis is used in this plan.
This is a multi-jurisdictional plan that covers Ramsey County, including the cities of Arden Hills, Falcon
Heights, Gem Lake, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks,
North Saint Paul, Roseville, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake. The Ramsey County risks
and mitigation activities identified in this plan also incorporate the concerns and needs of townships
(White Bear Township), school districts, and other entities participating in this plan. While the city of
Saint Paul is in Ramsey County, it has its own Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan. The cities of Blaine and
Spring Lake Park have a portion of their cities within the boundaries of Ramsey County; however, they
primarily reside in Anoka County. They will be included in Anoka County’s Mitigation Plan. The City of
St. Anthony geographically is half in Hennepin County and half in Ramsey County, and it shares a school
district with another city within Ramsey County, the City of St. Anthony will be covered by the
Hennepin County’s Mitigation Plan. The University of Minnesota – Twin Cities Campus also presents a
unique situation. The university is located in both Minneapolis and Falcon Heights, the St. Paul campus.
The University of Minnesota is covered under its own plan.
Members from each of these jurisdictions actively participated in the planning process by attending
workgroup meetings, providing information, suggesting mitigation strategies and reviewing the plan
document. Each jurisdiction will adopt the plan by resolution after approval by FEMA. County and local
city resolutions will be added by Ramsey County after final approval by FEMA, in Appendix D in the
back of the plan.
Ramsey County has specified the following goals for this Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan update:
• Include more recent data documenting the critical infrastructure and hazards faced by Ramsey
County.
• Reformat and reorganize the plan to reflect definitions of hazards as expressed in the 2014 State
of Minnesota Multi-Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Plan.
• Reflect current hazard mitigation priorities in Ramsey County.
1.1.2 Hazard Mitigation Definition
Hazard mitigation may be defined as any action taken to eliminate or reduce the long-term risk to
human life and property from natural hazards. Following are examples of hazard mitigation measures
that fall within one of five types of mitigation strategies:
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 11
• Planning – Development of mitigation standards, regulations, policies, and programs.
• Structure and Infrastructure Projects – Structural retrofits, property acquisition, local flood
reduction projects, and safe room construction.
• Natural Systems Protection – Sediment and erosion control, stream corridor restoration, forest
and vegetative management, floodplain and stream restoration.
• Education and Awareness Programs – Outreach programs, hazard awareness campaigns, real estate
disclosure, and promotion of family/personal emergency preparedness
• Mitigation Preparedness & Response Support – Emergency planning and services such as warning
siren systems, Everbridge, and installing generators for critical facilities.
1.1.3 Benefits of Mitigation Planning
The benefits of hazard mitigation planning include the following:
• Saving lives, protecting the health of the public and reducing injuries
• Preventing or reducing property damage
• Reducing economic losses
• Minimizing social dislocation and stress
• Reducing agricultural losses
• Maintaining critical facilities in functioning order
• Protecting infrastructure from damage
• Protecting mental health
• Reducing legal liability of government and public officials
1.2 State Administration of Mitigation Grants
FEMA currently has three mitigation grant programs that are administered by the State of Minnesota:
The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), the Pre-Disaster Mitigation program (PDM), and the
Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program. The HMGP, PDM and FMA are administered through the
state of Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Division of Homeland Security and Emergency
Management. All applicants must have or be covered under an approved Hazard Mitigation Plan. Eligible
applicants include state and local governments; certain private non-profit organizations or institutions;
and tribal communities.

Update of the plan began in July 2017. A total of two steering committee meetings were held to discuss
the plans development, identify local hazard issues, formulate strategy recommendations, and review the
draft mitigation action chart. Additional correspondence, including an individual mitigation survey were
distributed to the committee and all municipalities in the county via e-mail. The general stages of the
plan update included: initial data collection and update of the county data; update of the municipalities
survey’s and hazards; review and update of the mitigation action chart, and identification of deleting old
strategies and adding new strategies.
Jurisdictional representatives participating on the steering committee were contacted throughout the
plan update process to provide feedback on the hazards of concern to their community and the
mitigation actions which they would seek to implement upon plan adoption. The list of final mitigation
actions was divided into jurisdiction-specific mitigation action charts so that each could see and address
those actions that applied specifically to their cities (see Appendix G: Mitigation Actions by Jurisdiction).
2.2 Review of Existing Plans, Capabilities & Vulnerabilities
Ramsey County and its local communities utilized a variety of planning documents to direct community
development. These documents include a Comprehensive/Master Plan, Capital Improvements Plan,
Emergency Operations Plan, Continuity of Operations Plan, etc. (see Appendix J for a full listing of plans
and programs in place in Ramsey County). The planning process also incorporated the existing natural
hazard mitigation elements from previous planning efforts. In addition, the 2014 Minnesota All-Hazard
Mitigation Plan was consulted.
In the development of the Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, UMD consultants reviewed and
incorporated a variety of planning documents that direct community development and influence land use
decisions for the county and its jurisdictions. In addition, UMD consultants worked closely with the
Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator, other key county staff, and local city officials to
collect specific feedback on local mitigation capabilities and vulnerabilities that either support or hinder
the ability to mitigate against hazards at the county and local level. Following is a summary of the
assessment tools used to gather information on local capabilities and vulnerabilities during the planning
process:
Capabilities Assessment (hazard specific) – In this assessment, detailed information was collected on
current Plans and Programs in Place and Program Gaps or Deficiencies that currently exist to mitigate
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 15
destruction caused by each natural hazard addressed in the plan. This information was used to inform
where there were current mechanisms in place to incorporate or implement mitigation measures (i.e.,
existing programs, plans or policies) and where there were areas that needed to be addressed (see
Section 4.4 Hazard Profiles).
Jurisdictional Questionnaires – In this questionnaire, detailed information was collected from each
jurisdiction in the county on: 1) Severe weather or disaster events & impacts that have occurred within
the last 5 years; 2) Actions taken within the last 5 years that have helped to reduce local vulnerabilities
to future disaster events; 3) Any changes within the last 5 years that have increased local vulnerabilities
to future disaster events; and 4) Any concerns or specific ideas for mitigation projects to help reduce or
eliminate risk resulting from future severe weather or disaster events. This information was used to
inform Section 4, Risk Assessment and the development of local-level mitigation actions (see Appendix L,
Jurisdictional Questionnaires and Appendix G, Mitigation Actions by Jurisdiction).
Local Mitigation Capabilities Assessment (LMCA) – In this assessment, detailed information was
collected on key elements in place that help to accomplish mitigation in the community, including: 1)
Plans, authorities, or policies; 2) Staff (organizational capacity); 3) Programs; and 4) Funding or other
resources. Information was further collected on what program gaps or deficiencies exist that are a
barrier to accomplishing mitigation in the community. This information was used to inform the
development of local-level mitigation actions (see Appendix K, Local Mitigation Capabilities Assessment and
Appendix G, Mitigation Actions by Jurisdiction).
2.3 Planning Process Timeline and Steps
To update the 2012 Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, UMD consultants worked in
coordination with the Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator and members of the
steering committee. The updated plan includes not only new data documenting the types of hazards
faced by Ramsey County residents and emergency planning officials, but also new thinking about how to
best address these hazards.
In July 2017, Ramsey County issued a news release inviting public feedback and participation for the
MHMP update (for complete documentation, see Appendix F: Public Outreach & Engagement
Documentation).
On July 12, 2017, the Geospatial Analysis Center hosted a kickoff meeting online that was attended by
the Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator. The webinar included a project overview,
GAC background, the roles and responsibilities of the Emergency Management Coordinator, contents of
the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, planning process and projected timeline (see Appendix E for webinar
slides).
A steering committee meeting took place on November 3, 2017, at the Ramsey County Emergency
Operations Center in Arden Hills, which included the Ramsey County MHMP steering committee and
the UMD planning team. The steering committee was provided with an overview of the purpose,
process and timeline for the Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan update, as well as the role and
responsibilities of steering committee members. Appendix E provides documentation of steering
committee meeting summaries, including participant sign-in sheets and presentation slides.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 16
Steering committee members were engaged in providing feedback on plans and programs in place as
they relate to hazards facing the county, and they discussed potential mitigation actions to be added to
the plan. This information was used to inform the development of mitigation strategies in the updated
plan.
On April 24, 2018, members of the steering committee convened again with the UMD planning team to
conduct a review and discussion of the draft mitigation action charts developed for Ramsey County and
the city jurisdictions participating in the plan. See Appendix E for a full meeting summary.
To provide opportunity for public input, Ramsey County issued a second new release on **, inviting
public review and feedback on the draft plan. The news release provided information on where the plan
could be viewed and comments submitted. The UMD Geospatial Analysis Center hosted a webpage to
post the full draft Ramsey County MHMP, including excerpts of the Ramsey County Master Mitigation
Action Chart, each of the jurisdictional mitigation action charts, and an electronic feedback form.
Appendix F provides documentation of the public outreach for feedback on the draft plan by Ramsey
County and jurisdictions. The public feedback period for the draft plan was open from ** to **, 2018, for
a total of ** days.

Section 3 – Ramsey County Profile
This section offers a general overview of Ramsey County to provide a basic understanding of the
characteristics of the community, such as the physical environment, population, and the location and
distribution of services.
3.1 General County Description
Ramsey County is in east central Minnesota. It is at the center of the Seven-County Metro Area. Four
counties surround Ramsey County: Hennepin to the west, Dakota to the south, Washington to the east,
and Anoka to the north. Of the 87 counties in the state of Minnesota, Ramsey County is geographically
the smallest but is the largest in population. Ramsey County covers 170 square miles, and the county’s
estimated population in 2010 was 508,640. St. Paul is the county seat and the largest city in the county.
The cities located in Ramsey County are Arden Hills, Blaine, Falcon Heights, Gem Lake, Lauderdale,
Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, North Saint Paul, Roseville, St.
Anthony, St. Paul, Shoreview, Spring Lake Park, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake. White Bear
Township is the only township in the county.
Ramsey County is dominated by the education/health services industry, with 29% of jobs in the county.
Professional/business services and trade/transportation/utilities are also major components of the
county’s economy.
Ramsey County has many historic structures, sites and districts throughout the county. They are
sometimes targeted for hazard mitigation strategies due to their unique, often irreplaceable, social value
or cultural significance. For a complete listing, see Appendix B: Ramsey County Critical Facilities.
3.2 Environmental Characteristics
Ramsey County is primarily urban and developed. According to the Ramsey County Comprehensive
Plan, only 8.3% of the county remains undeveloped, with land use primarily consisting of recreational,
transportation, residential, multi-residential, commercial, industrial and mixed use.
3.3 Hydrography
Ramsey County contains approximately 18 square miles of surface water, or approximately 10% of the
county’s total area.
Impaired waters are an increasing problem as Ramsey County has many lakes, creeks and rivers that are
on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Impaired Waters lists, including the Mississippi River, Rice
Creek, Lambert Creek, Lake Owasso, Lake Johanna, Gervais Lake, East Vadnais Lake, Pleasant Lake,
Turtle Lake, Goose Lake, White Bear Lake, Gilfillan Lake, Sucker Lake, Snail Lake, Valentine Lake, Phalen
Lake, Kohlman Lake, Como Lake, Bennet Lake, Lake Josephine, among others (Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, 2018). Impaired waters have become a priority issue because they do not meet state
water quality standards, they affect growth and health of communities and economies, and the Clean
Water Act has a mandate requiring every state to address impairments. Impairments found in Ramsey
County waters include fecal coliform, nutrient/eutrophication biological indicators, mercury in fish
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 18
tissue, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in fish tissue, PCB in fish tissue, turbidity, and poor biological
conditions according to aquatic macroinvertebrate bioassessments.
Basic hydrography in Ramsey County is mapped in Figure A-1 in Appendix A, while aquifer vulnerability
(using 2011 data from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture) and public wells are mapped in Figure
A - 14.
3.3.1 Groundwater
Ramsey County is located over the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan Aquifer, which is the major source of
groundwater for the Minneapolis & Saint Paul Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Over the last 80 years, the
level of the Prairie du Chien has steadily declined as the area has become more populated and the
primary source of drinking water has shifted to groundwater (MPCA, 2018). Other aquifers that supply
groundwater to Ramsey County are the St. Peter Aquifer, Franconia-Ironton-Galesville Aquifer and the
Mt. Simon Aquifer.
The Prairie du Chien Group and Jordan Sandstone together form the most heavily used aquifer in the
county. This aquifer is present throughout the county except in a narrow bedrock valley in the
northwest (the Phalen channel), where the first bedrock is the St. Lawrence or Franconia Formation.
The aquifer is overlain by the shaly basal part of the St. Peter Sandstone in much of the county. The
Prairie du Chien Group is composed predominantly of dolostone; water flows mainly through fractures,
joints, and solution cavities. Its total thickness is about 120 to 130 feet. The Jordan Sandstone (70 to 100
feet thick) consists of highly permeable, fine- to coarse-grained quartzose sandstone, and most water
movement is intergranular. Despite their difference in rock type, the Prairie du Chien Group and Jordan
Sandstone function as a single aquifer because no regional confining bed separates them. Locally,
however, small water-level differences may exist, owing to relatively impermeable beds of shale of
limited extent.
In general, the groundwater flows from areas with the highest hydraulic head in northeastern Ramsey
County toward the Mississippi River. This flow pattern indicates that the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer
discharges into the river. The flow pattern may be altered by localized pumping of high-capacity wells,
especially during the summer when heavy demands are placed on it. The Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer
is a confined aquifer except for the southeastern comer of the county.
3.3.2 Lakes
There are 82 lake basins in Ramsey County, 23 of which are accessible to the public for recreational use.
3.3.3 Rivers
The Mississippi originates from Lake Itasca, stretching all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, and forms a
portion of the southern border of Ramsey County. The Minnesota River originates from Big Stone Lake
and connects to the Mississippi in the southwest corner of Ramsey County.
3.3.4 Wetlands
Due to the urbanization of Ramsey County, few natural wetlands remain. According to the Ramsey
Conservation District Comprehensive Plan, over 80% of Ramsey County's pre-settlement wetlands have
been destroyed. Wetlands provide critical water quality and flood control, recharge groundwater, and
provide habitat for wildlife. The plan notes that the Jones wetland in New Brighton is biologically
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 19
impaired according to aquatic plant and aquatic macroinvertebrate bioassessments and is surficially
connected to Pike Lake and Long Lake. Protecting the remaining wetlands in the county is one of
Ramsey Conservation District’s high priorities.
3.4 Karst Geology
Closed depressions and the resulting sinkholes are common when limestone bedrock has eroded, which
is referred to as karst development. Karst development occurs from thick, soluble areas of underground
limestone dissolve over time, forming sinkholes. Ramsey County Parks realized on June 20, 2014 that
there was a sinkhole in the median of Highway 61, just south of the intersection of County Road B and
Highway 61. This was following heavy rains during the previous 24 hours.
In June of 2016, a resident reported that a sinkhole on city park property behind her residence had
become quite large. Originally, she noticed it to be a foot wide and a foot deep. About a week later, it
was three feet wide and much deeper.
3.5 Climate
The climate of Ramsey County is classified as continental, characterized by wide variations in
temperature from summer to winter. Although the climate is essentially uniform throughout the county,
variations in microclimate may occur because of differences in vegetation, soil, relief, and due to the
Mississippi River.
January is the coldest month on average in St. Paul, with an average low of 6° F. The lowest temperature
ever recorded in the city occurred in February of 1996, when it fell to -32° F. December and January are
the snowiest months, with December averaging 11 inches and January averaging 12 inches of snow
(Intellicast, 2018).
July is the hottest month on average in St. Paul, with an average high of 83° F. The highest temperature
ever recorded there occurred in 1988, when it rose to 105° F (Intellicast, 2018).
3.5.1 Climate Change
Minnesota’s climate is currently changing in ways that are pushing us to adapt to weather patterns and
extreme events that pose major threats to our health, homes, environment and livelihoods. These
events cost our state millions in property loss, damaged infrastructure, disrupted business, medical care
and support services, and put residents and responders at risk. Understanding how our weather is
changing now and into the future will help planners and decision-makers in emergency management and
supporting fields extend our progress in climate adaptation and lead to more resilient communities
(MDH, 2018).
The National Climate Assessment suggests that infrastructure planning (particularly water resources
infrastructure) should “be improved by incorporating climate change as a factor in new design standards
and asset management and rehabilitation of critical and aging facilities, emphasizing flexibility,
redundancy, and resiliency” (Georgakakos, et al., 2014).
Federal, state, and tribal governments are increasingly integrating climate change adaptation into existing
decision-making, planning, or infrastructure-improvement processes (Georgakakos, et al., 2014). Definite
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 20
predictions are difficult to make, as changes may vary depending on geographical location, even within
Minnesota. Intense study of these topics is ongoing.
In August 2018, the Minnesota Department of Health Climate & Health Program published “Planning for
Climate & Health Impacts in Metro Minnesota: Emergency Management Considerations for HSEM
Region 6.” This report is one of a series of custom climate profile reports produced for each of the six
HSEM regions in the state for reference to climate change projection data, impacts, and considerations
for emergency management and preparedness professionals in this HSEM region.
Climate Data Trends
Over 50 years of storm data on record document that Minnesota has experienced an increase in the
number and strength of weather-related natural disasters, particularly those related to rising
temperatures and heavy downpours.
According to the 2015 Minnesota Weather Almanac,
During the three most recent decades, the Minnesota climate has shown some very significant trends, all
of which have had many observable impacts…Among the detectable measured quantity changes are:
(1) warmer temperatures, especially daily minimum temperatures, more weighted to winter than any
other season; (2) increased frequency of high dew points, especially notable in mid- to late summer as
they push the Heat Index values beyond 100°F; and (3) greater annual precipitation, with a profound
increase in the contribution from intense thunderstorms (Seeley M. , 2015).
Temperature and precipitation projections below are taken from the Minnesota Department of Health
Region 6 profile. Appendix M provides the full MDH profile for Region 6, which includes Ramsey
County. The information in this report was used to help inform the updated risk assessments in Section
4 – Risk Assessment of this plan for natural hazards and their relationship to climate change.
Temperature
The continued rise in winter temperatures will result in less snow pack, which will increase chances for
grassland/wildfires as well as drought. The warmer winter temperatures will also have major
consequences for our ecosystems, including native and invasive species, whose growth, migration, and
reproduction are tied to climate cues. The increase in Lyme disease across Minnesota is also likely
influenced in part by the loss of our historical winters, due to a longer life-cycle period for ticks. Freeze-
thaw cycles are likely to increase as well, damaging roads, power lines and infrastructure, and causing
hazardous travel conditions. By mid-century our average summer highs will also see a substantial rise,
coupled with an increase in more severe, prolonged heat waves that can contribute to drought and
wildfires and pose a serious health threat, particularly to children and seniors (MDH, 2018).
Precipitation
There has been an increase in total average as well as heavy precipitation events, with longer periods of
intervening dry spells. Our historical rainfall patterns have changed substantially, giving rise to larger,
more frequent heavy downpours. Minnesota’s high-density rain gauge network has captured a nearly
four-fold increase in “mega-rain” events just since the year 2000, compared to the previous three
decades. Extreme rainfall events increase the probability of disaster-level flooding and new research
suggests a recent increase in precipitation-triggered landslide activity in the metro region. However, there
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 21
is also an increased probability that by mid-century heavy downpours will be separated in time by longer
dry spells, particularly during the late growing season. Over the past century, the Midwest hasn’t
experienced a significant change in drought duration. However, the average number of days without
precipitation is projected to increase in the future, leading Minnesota climate experts to state with
moderate -to-high confidence that drought severity, coverage, and duration are likely to increase in the
state. Modeling future precipitation amounts and patterns is less straight-forward compared to
temperature. Some climate models do a better job than others representing rainfall for the Midwest,
and available data sources only provide average estimates on a monthly scale, masking the spikes in
extremes that trigger flood and drought disasters (MDH, 2018).
3.6 Demographics
St. Paul is the largest city in Ramsey County (pop. 285,068) and the designated county seat. There are
17 cities and one township within the county.

Population growth trends have an important influence on the needs and demands of a variety of services
such as transportation, law enforcement and emergency response. An understanding of population
trends and location of population concentrations is important for making projections regarding potential
impacts in the event of a disaster.
In 2010, Ramsey County had a population of 508,640 residents, with an average population density of
3,341 persons per square mile of land area. St. Paul, the largest city in the county and the county seat,
had a population of 285,068.
Ramsey County’s population is gradually increasing, rising 4.7% between 1990 and 2010. Since 1940, the
population has risen by 64%. Table 4 below shows the population change in Ramsey County between
1940 and 2010.

In addition, the county contains 30 nursing homes, 8 hospice facilities and 50 supervised living facilities.
See Appendix B for a complete listing of healthcare facilities. Figure A - 13 in Appendix A depicts health
services within Ramsey County.
3.8.2 Public Safety Providers/Government Services
The Sheriff’s Office is centrally located at the Law Enforcement Center in St. Paul. Ramsey County
Water Patrol is in Little Canada and Ramsey County Sheriff Patrol is in Arden Hills.
There are 20 police departments within Ramsey County, 11 of which are in St. Paul. Figure A - 4 in
Appendix A depicts government and emergency facilities, including city halls, fire departments, police
departments, the Sheriff’s Office, Ramsey County Water Patrol and Ramsey County Sheriff Patrol.
Figure 3 shows fire departments and fire response times in Ramsey County. These drive times were
created using the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension and Esri’s Business Analyst. The user may note
discrepancies between MnDOT road data and the map in this document; Network Analyst requires a
seamlessly-connected data source to perform the calculations for drive times, which Business Analyst
provides but MnDOT does not. The Business Analyst data was used for this reason. According to this
model, all communities in the county are within 15 minutes of a fire department.

3.8.3 Utilities/Communications
Energy providers in the county include Connexus Energy Co-op, Xcel Energy, NuStar Energy LP,
District Energy, Magellan Midstream Partners LP and Koch Pipeline Company LP.
Established in 2004, the Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER) Program, administered
in coordination with the Minnesota Statewide Radio Board, manages the implementation of a 700/800
megahertz (MHz) shared digital trunked radio communication system. In Ramsey County, there are 8
ARMER towers (Figure A - 5).
3.8.4 Transportation
The county transportation system is composed of roads, highways, airports, public transit, railroads and
trails (Figure A - 6). The system is designed to serve all residents, businesses, industries and tourists.
With the release of the 1990 Census, Ramsey County was designated as a fully urbanized county; this
urbanization process began over 100 years ago, and developed into today’s transportation system.
Ramsey County Public Works is currently responsible for maintaining 293 miles of county roads, over
140 bridges, 30,000 signs and over 360 signal systems (Ramsey County Public Works, 2018).
Between 1950 and 1990, over 500 miles of metropolitan highways were built in the Twin Cities.
Interstate highways in Ramsey County include I-94, I-694, I-35E and I-35W. Access to this system has
been, and will continue to be, a major attraction for residential, commercial and industrial development
in the county (Ramsey County Public Works, 2018).
The Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority works on transit development projects in the county,
to improve mobility and transportation affordability, mitigate traffic congestion and enhance
environmental quality. The authority also oversees St. Paul’s Union Depot, which is a transport facility
for bicycles, pedestrians, Amtrak, car rental services, light rail transit and bus lines.
There are multiple railroads throughout the county, which are operated by the following companies:
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), Minnesota Commercial Railway (MNNR), Soo Line Railroad
(SOO) and Union Pacific (UP).
Public transit is available in the county through Metro Mobility and Metro Transit. Metro Mobility is a
public transit service for certified riders who cannot use regular fixed-route buses due to a disability or
health condition. Metro Transit offers a network of buses, light rail and commuter trains, in addition to
resources for those who carpool, vanpool, walk or bike. They added a light-rail link between downtown
Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul in 2014.
There are two airports within Ramsey County: the St. Paul Downtown Airport (Holman Field) and
Benson Airport. The St. Paul Downtown Airport is located just across the Mississippi River from
downtown St. Paul, and is one of several reliever airports in the Twin Cities, operated by the
Metropolitan Airports Commission. It is the metro area’s main facility for general aviation aircraft. The
airport has 3 runways: Runway 14-32 (6,491' x 150'); Runway 13-31 (4,004' x 150'), and Runway 9-27
(3,642' x 100'). There are 87 aircraft based at the airport, and over 40,000 takeoffs and landings annually.
A floodwall was installed in 2008 to protect the facility against riverine flooding.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 29
The Benson Airport is owned by White Bear Township, and permission is required prior to landing.
There is one turf runway (2,000' x 75'), and 25 aircraft are based at the field. There is an average of 88
aircraft operations per week. There are no night operations at the airport.
3.9 Land Use and Ownership
Ramsey County is primarily urban and developed. According to the Ramsey County Comprehensive
Plan, only 8.3% of the county remains undeveloped, with land use primarily consisting of agricultural,
recreational, transportation, residential, multi-residential, commercial, industrial and mixed use.
According to the 2012 U.S. Census of Agriculture, 97 farms exist in the county, covering 723 acres. Of
this farming land, 55% is cropland. The number of farms in the county increased by 223% between 2007
and 2012, while the number of acres farmed decreased by 23% (Census of Agriculture, 2012).
According to Minnesota DNR data, there are only 2 feedlots in the county.
Land ownership categories from the 2008 U.S. Geological Survey GAP (Gap Analysis Program) are
shown in Figure A - 8 (Appendix A: Ramsey County Maps). Land cover is also mapped in Figure A - 7.
Sites with chemical and hazardous waste based on data from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) are mapped in Figure A - 12.

Section 4 – Risk Assessment
The goal of mitigation is to reduce or eliminate the future impacts of a hazard including loss of life,
property damage, disruption to local and regional economies, and the expenditure of public and private
funds for recovery. Sound mitigation practices must be based on sound risk assessment. A risk
assessment involves quantifying the potential loss resulting from a disaster by assessing the vulnerability
of buildings, infrastructure and people.
Basing risk assessments on the best information available is important in developing effective mitigation
actions that benefit communities. Geographic Information System (GIS) tools are not only helpful in
producing maps, but they also show structures at risk and may determine damage estimates for
potential hazard scenarios. MN Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) mitigation staff
encourages the use of GIS tools in risk assessments because they produce good information to be used
in the risk assessment process. In recognition of the importance of planning in mitigation activities,
FEMA created Hazards USA Multi-Hazard (Hazus), a powerful GIS-based disaster risk assessment tool.
This tool enables communities to predict estimated losses from floods, hurricanes and other related
phenomena and to measure the impact of various mitigation practices that might help reduce those
losses. Hazus was used by UMD Geospatial Analysis Center staff in the flood hazard risk assessment
(see section 4.4.5).
This assessment identifies the characteristics and potential consequences of a disaster, how much of the
community could be affected by a disaster, and the impact on community assets. A risk assessment
consists of 3 components — hazard identification and prioritization, risk profile and vulnerability profile.
4.1 Hazard Identification/Profile
4.1.1 Hazard Identification
The cornerstone of the risk assessment is identification of the hazards that affect jurisdictions. To
facilitate the planning process, several sources were employed to ensure that the natural hazards are
identified prior to assessment.
The county maintenance of the plan includes continual updates of the hazards identified in the initial
plan. The mitigation steering committee compared the hazards in the initial plan to current publications
to determine if new hazards should be considered or if some should be deleted.
Natural hazards are identified in the FEMA publication “Multi-Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
– A Cornerstone of the National Mitigation Strategy,” also known as MHIRA. FEMA Region V developed
a list based on state mitigation plans in the region. Table 7 lists the natural hazards included in the 2014
Minnesota State Hazard Mitigation Plan.

*Addressed in the State Mitigation Plan because Minnesota is a heavily forested state compared to other states in Region V.
4.1.2 Vulnerability Assessment by Jurisdiction
As part of the plan update process, the steering committee reviewed, updated and ranked the hazards
faced by residents of Ramsey County, updated the existing mitigation actions published in the 2012
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, and proposed new mitigation actions.
To engage in this process, the committee drew on many data sources. First, the committee examined
the hazards identified in the 2012 Hazard Mitigation Plan (Table 8). The natural hazards that pose risk to
Ramsey County were discussed and adjusted to reflect the definitions of natural hazards used in the
2014 Minnesota State Hazard Mitigation Plan. This was done to assure that the risks faced by Ramsey
County were categorized the same way as the priority hazards established by the State of Minnesota.
Table 8. Hazards identified in the 2012 Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
While the focus of this MHMP is on natural hazards, planning took place with the understanding that
many technological hazards could occur because of natural disasters (i.e. disruption in electrical service
due to freezing rain causing problems for both utility corporations and vulnerable populations
dependent on electricity for heat). Ramsey County EMHS staff updated Appendix N Technological Hazards
using subject matter experts and current research and are incorporated in this planning effort.
This plan draws on a variety of data sources including the State of Minnesota and Homeland Security
Emergency Management Critical Infrastructure Strategy for the State of Minnesota (2010), FEMA’s Local
Mitigation Planning How-to Guide Integrating Manmade Hazards into Mitigation Planning (2003), and the
State of Minnesota Multi Hazards Identification Risk Assessment.
Ramsey County ranked hazards based on a Calculated Priority Risk Index, or CPRI, as part of the
development of their 2017-2018 Threat Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA). These
rankings were considered by the steering committee in the process of ranking hazards for the MHMP
update. The methodology of the CPRI is outlined below.
4.1.3 Calculated Priority Risk Index
The vulnerability assessment builds upon the previously developed hazard information by identifying the
community assets and development trends and intersecting them with the hazard profiles to assess the

potential amount of damage that could be caused by each hazard event. A summary of Calculated
Priority Risk Index (CPRI) categories and risk levels is shown in Table 9.
Definitions of CPRI Categories
Probability – a guide to predict how often a random event will occur. Annual probabilities are
expressed between 0.001 or less (low) up to 1 (high). An annual probability of 1 predicts that a natural
hazard will occur at least once per year.
Magnitude/Severity – indicates the impact to a community through potential fatalities, injuries,
property losses, and/or losses of services. The vulnerability assessment gives information that is helpful
in making this determination for each community.
Warning Time – plays a factor in the ability to prepare for a potential disaster and to warn the public.
The assumption is that more warning time allows for more emergency preparations and public
information.
Duration – relates to the actual amount of time that an incident may take place over time.

The hazard rankings for the Ramsey County MHMP update (Table 10) were based upon review of 1)
hazard rankings in the past MHMP, 2) hazard rankings in the Calculated Priority Risk Index (CPRI)
conducted by the county, and 3) group review and discussion during the MHMP steering committee
meetings and public meetings.

4.1.4 Hazard Profiling Concept of Planning
The risk assessments identify the characteristics and potential consequences of a disaster, how much of
the community could be affected by a disaster, and the impact on community assets. A risk assessment
consists of 3 components—hazard identification, risk profile and vulnerability profile.
4.1.5 GIS and Risk Assessment
The risk analysis step in this assessment quantifies the risk to the population, infrastructure and
economy of the community. Hazards that can be geographically identified (wildland fires, windstorms,
tornadoes, hail, floods) were mapped.

FEMA’s Hazus tool in ArcGIS was used to estimate the damages incurred for a 100-year flood and for
general asset assessment. Hazus also generates aggregated loss estimates for the entire county due to a
100-year flood. Aggregate inventory loss estimates, which include building stock analysis, are based upon
the assumption that building stock is evenly distributed across each census block. Therefore, it is
possible that overestimates of damage will occur in some areas while underestimates will occur in other
areas. Total losses tend to be more reliable over larger geographic areas (groups of many blocks) than
for individual census blocks. It is important to note that Hazus is not intended to be a substitute for
detailed engineering studies.
4.1.6 National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Records
Historical storm event data was compiled from the National Centers for Environmental Information
(NCEI). NCEI records are estimates of damage reported to the National Weather Service (NWS) from
various local, state and federal sources. However, these estimates are often preliminary in nature and
may not match the final assessment of economic and property losses related to given weather events.
The NCEI data included 446 reported events in Ramsey County between 1950 and April 2018.
However, some weather event categories only had available data going back as recent as 1996. No
records before 1950 were available. A summary table of events related to each hazard type is included
in the hazard profile sections that follow. A full table listing all events, including additional details, is
included in Appendix C. NCEI hazard categories used in this plan are listed in Table 11.

4.1.7 FEMA Major Disaster Declarations
Another historical perspective is derived
from FEMA-declared disasters. 13 major
disaster and 3 emergency declarations in
Ramsey County have been made
between 1957 and July 2018 (Figure 4)
Table 12 and Table 13 show the details of
the disasters including payments for
Public Assistance (PA) and Individual
Assistance (IA), listed under the flooding
and severe storm profiles. No
declarations were made for the other
storms listed in the NCEI database.
Reviewing the federal payments for
damages from the declared disasters is a
way of correlating the impact from the
NCEI report.

4.2 Vulnerability Assessment
4.2.1 Asset Inventory
A 2010 essential facility dataset (schools, medical facilities, fire stations, and police stations compiled
from state and county sources) was used to override the default Hazus input database. Other critical
facilities identified by the county were geocoded and overlaid with the Hazus flood model output.
For the purposes of this plan, critical infrastructure and key resources were defined by Ramsey County.
Table 15 below identifies the critical facilities that were included in the analysis. Essential facilities are a
subset of critical facilities. Names and locations of all critical facilities are listed in Appendix B. Figure 5
below maps the critical facilities in Maplewood, while Figure 6 depicts critical facilities in Roseville.

4.2.2 Facility Replacement Costs
Ramsey County-specific building data was sourced from the parcel tax databases and parcel polygon data
included building valuations and occupancy class. Structure values for each parcel were aggregated within
each parcel and assigned to the parcel centroid point. Records were aggregated to the relevant census
administrative boundaries for the flood hazard analysis. This process also provided total facility
replacement costs and total building exposure by general occupancy class (defined by Hazus tools). The
total estimated building exposure for Ramsey County is shown in Table 16.

4.3 Future Development
Because Ramsey County is vulnerable to a variety of natural hazards, the county government—in
partnership with the state government—must make a commitment to prepare for the management of
these types of events. Ramsey County is committed to ensuring that county elected and appointed
officials become informed leaders regarding community hazards so that they are better prepared to set
and direct policies for emergency management and county response.
There have been some changes in development, settlement patterns, and commercial land use patterns
in Ramsey County since the last Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (2012). Ramsey County and the city of
Arden Hills have completed a significant land purchase with the United States Army. That land, now
known as the Rice Creek Commons, has been in the very early stages of development with some minor
re-rerouting of Rice Creek and some road construction. The creek re-route will be kept primarily
within the country park property. Infrastructure construction is expected to begin in 2019, residential
and commercial development is set to begin in 2020.
As residential and continued population growth occurs in Ramsey County, so does the demand for
housing and increased potential to be vulnerable to hazard events. As stated earlier in the plan the
population growth has slowly increased by 7.7% from 2010 census while the number of housing units
increased by more than 59%. 14 manufactured homes parks are located throughout the county.
The Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator will work to keep the jurisdictions covered
by the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan engaged and informed during the plan’s cycle. By keeping
jurisdictional leaders actively involved in the monitoring, evaluation and update of the MHMP, they will
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 42
keep their local governments aware of the hazards that face their communities and how to mitigate
those hazards through planning and project implementation. Each jurisdiction has identified mitigation
strategies they will seek to implement in their communities (see Appendix G: Mitigation Actions by
Jurisdiction). Jurisdictions will include considerations for hazard mitigation in relation to future
development when updating local comprehensive plans or other plans that may influence development.
Section 6 of this plan further outlines the process by which Ramsey County will address the
maintenance of this plan, including monitoring, evaluation, and update of the plan, as well as
implementation and continued public involvement.
4.4 Hazard Profiles
As part of the risk assessment, each natural hazard that poses risk to the county was independently
reviewed for its past hazard history, relationship to climate change, and jurisdictional vulnerability to
future events. A capabilities assessment was also conducted to review the plans and programs that are in
place or that are lacking (program gaps or deficiencies) for the implementation of mitigation efforts.
4.4.1 Tornadoes
Tornadoes are defined as violently-rotating columns of air extending from thunderstorms to the ground,
with wind speeds between 40-300 mph. They develop under 3 scenarios: (1) along a squall line; (2) in
connection with thunderstorm squall lines during hot, humid weather; and (3) in the outer portion of a
tropical cyclone. Funnel clouds are rotating columns of air not in contact with the ground; however, the
column of air can reach the ground very quickly and become a tornado.
Since 2007, tornado strength in the United States is ranked based on the Enhanced Fujita scale (EF
scale), replacing the Fujita scale introduced in 1971. The EF scale uses similar principles to the Fujita
scale, with 6 categories from 0-5, based on wind estimates and damage caused by the tornado. The EF
Scale is used extensively by the NWS in investigating tornadoes (all tornadoes are now assigned an EF
Scale number), and by engineers in correlating damage to buildings and techniques with different wind
speeds caused by tornadoes. To see a comparative table of F and EF scales, see
http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/ef-scale.html.
In Minnesota, the peak months of tornado occurrence are June and July. The typical time of day for
tornadoes in Minnesota ranges between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Most of these are minor tornadoes,
with wind speeds under 125 miles per hour. A typical Minnesota tornado lasts approximately 10
minutes, has a path length of 5 to 6 miles, is nearly as wide as a football field, has a forward speed of
about 35 miles an hour, and affects less than 0.1% of the county warned.
Tornado History in Ramsey County
According to the NCEI, 7 tornadoes were reported in Ramsey County between 1950 and April of 2018,
causing one death, 168 injuries, and $225,770,000 dollars in reported property damage. Tornado
classification ranged from F0/EF0 to F4 on the EF/F Scale.
The most recent tornado in Ramsey County occurred on July 17, 2015, when an EF-0 tornado touched
down in the northwest portion of North Oaks, near Charley Lake. The tornado moved to the southern
side of Deep Lake, where the highest numbers of toppled and snapped trees occurred. Some trees fell

In May of 2011, an EF-0 tornado crossed through Ramsey County near Spring Lake. Most of the damage
was due to sporadic trees being blown down.
An F1 tornado in May 1998 touched down in Roseville, before traveling north through Shoreview,
North Oaks and Lino Lakes before lifting near Blaine. 7 houses were destroyed, and 102 severely
damaged. The damage from the tornado, along with widespread hail, reached $150 million.
In June of 1981 an F3 tornado
injured 60 people and killed 1.
Wind speeds as high as 160 mph
were recorded (Figure 7). The Lt.
Governor activated 120 National
Guard military police to prevent
looting of damaged businesses and
homes in Roseville. The NCEI
reports $25 million in property
damage.
An F4 tornado occurred in May of
1965, resulting in 108 injuries and
$25 million in property damage.

Tornadoes and Climate Change
Tornadoes and other severe thunderstorm phenomena frequently cause as much annual property
damage in the U.S. as do hurricanes, and often cause more deaths. Although recent research has yielded
insights into the connections between global warming and the factors that cause tornados and severe
thunderstorms, such as atmospheric instability and increases in wind speed with altitude (Del Genio,
Yao, & Jonas, 2007), these relationships remain mostly unexplored, largely because of the challenges in
observing thunderstorms and tornadoes and simulating them with computer models (National Climate
Assessment Development Advisory Committee, 2013).
According to Harold Brooks of NOAA’s National Severe Weather Laboratory, there is increasing
variability in the “start” of tornado season. The number of days with more than 30 EF1 or greater
tornadoes is increasing, while the number of days with at least 1 EF1 or greater tornadoes is decreasing.
Thus, tornadoes are occurring on fewer days, but more are occurring on outbreak days.
The earliest reported tornado in Minnesota occurred on March 6, 2017, when 2 tornadoes touched
down in southern Minnesota, which was 12 days earlier than the previous record. The Zimmerman
tornado occurred 115 miles further north than the previous record from 1968. According to State
Meteorologist Paul Huttner, “Those records fit seasonally and geographically with longer term climate
trends pushing weather events earlier in the season and further northward” (Huttner, MPR News,
2017).
The state of Wisconsin has recorded 3 tornadoes in January and 6 in December during the period of
1844-2013 (National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office, 2014) including a January tornado in
2008.
Vulnerability
The county has experienced a tornado event in 7 of the 67 full years on record. According to these
statistics, there is a 10% chance of a tornado affecting Ramsey County each year. The vulnerability of
each jurisdiction to severe summer storms has not changed due to any development in the last 5 years.
Plans and Programs in Place
Ramsey County Emergency Operations Plan, Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan; Ramsey County Multijurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Plan, THIRA – Ramsey County maintains several different plans including an Emergency
Operations Plan, a Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan and the Ramsey County Multijurisdictional Hazard
Mitigation Plan which are designed as guides for emergency and/or recovery operations. These plans are
intended to assist key county/municipal officials and emergency organizations to carry out their
responsibilities for the protection of life and property under a wide range of emergency conditions.
Public Warning and Notification – In the event of emergencies or hazardous conditions that require timely
and targeted communication to the public, Ramsey County utilizes the Everbridge Mass Notification
System, the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA),
Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Facebook page, and local news media.
Ramsey County promotes the use of NOAA weather radios by critical facilities and the public to receive
information broadcast from the National Weather Service. Local television & radio stations assist with
sharing public information. Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center has recently upgraded
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 46
its siren system to be fully functional with the use of polygon-based warnings. Tornado warnings issued
by the National Weather Service will automatically sound sirens inside or very near the polygon.
Summer Weather Watches/Advisories/Warnings – Summer storm watches, advisories, warnings are
initiated by the National Weather Service. The emergency warning system is activated by the dispatch
center as directed. Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center’s Outdoor Warning Siren
procedure can be viewed here: https://www.ramseycounty.us/residents/emergency-response-
preparedness/emergency-preparedness-management/preparing-disaster. Residents are also encouraged
to receive warnings by NOAA weather radio, Wireless Emergency Alerts and other means. Ramsey
County has COOP/COG plans in place.
Outdoor Warning Sirens – There are 91 outdoor warning sirens deployed around Ramsey County. Of
these 91 sirens, 55 are in suburban Ramsey County and 36 are in Saint Paul. In 2015, Ramsey County
Emergency Communications Center started a project to integrate two separate outdoor warning siren
systems into a single, county-wide system using Federal Signal’s CommanderOne system. Under the
direction of and with funding from the Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center, Federal
Signal first conducted and completed a sound propagation study and a thorough inventory of siren
systems in municipal Ramsey County (Saint Paul upgraded all their sirens to compatible versions). This
information was shared with all the municipalities and those that own outdoor warning sirens upgraded
those sirens that required it. As of June 2018, all upgraded sirens were installed and are on line with the
CommanderOne system. All the sirens in Ramsey County are activated by Ramsey County Emergency
Communications Center. Sirens are activated when the National Weather Service notifies Ramsey
County Emergency Communications Center that there are high winds or tornado conditions that pose
risk to public safety. Sirens may also be activated for other situations such as a hazardous materials
incident under the direction of an Incident Commander.
Skywarn Program – Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security offers Skywarn
training in conjunction with the National Weather Service on an annual basis to local public safety
personnel, Ramsey County employees and residents that wish to be trained as volunteers. Skywarn
spotters help to keep our local municipalities safe by providing timely and accurate reports of severe
weather to our local National Weather Service office. Ramsey County Emergency Management and
Homeland Security monitors local Skywarn nets and relays information to appropriate persons as
needed.
Severe Weather Awareness Week – Ramsey County helps promote and participates in the National
Weather Service’s “Severe Weather Awareness Week” held in April each year. The event seeks to
educate residents on the dangers of severe summer storms and highlights the importance of preparing
for severe weather before it strikes.
School Closings – The major school districts within Ramsey County have school closing policies and
communications plans in place if inclement weather or temperatures create a hazardous situation for
students or staff. School districts also use local mass media to relay information.
Severe Weather Shelters – The state requires shelters for manufactured home parks with 10 or more
manufactured homes per MN Statute 327.20. Ramsey County has 14 manufactured homes parks. Of
these parks, 12 have indicated they have shelters, one has stated it does not and one is in an unknown
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018

status meaning that the shelter may or may not exist, and if it does, it may or may not be habitable. It is
also unknown with all the parks whether the existing shelters have capacity needed for populations
present. Given that this has become an issue with local media of late, Ramsey County Emergency
Management and Homeland Security will, in cooperation/coordination with other partners, place an
emphasis on this activity. See KSTP News Story here: http://kstp.com/news/mobile-home-park-severe-

4.4.2 Windstorms
FEMA defines winds more than 58 miles per hour, excluding tornadoes, as windstorms. Straight-line
winds and windstorms are used interchangeably in the plan. This hazard is treated as a different category
than tornadoes (which may also include high winds). Windstorms are among the nation’s most severe
natural hazards in terms of both lives lost and property damaged.
Severe winds can damage and destroy roofs, toss manufactured homes off their pier foundations, and
tear light-framed homes apart. There are several different types of windstorms. A “downburst” is
defined as a strong downdraft with an outrush of damaging winds on or near the earth’s surface.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 48
Downbursts may have wind gusts up to 130 mph and are capable of the same damage as a medium-sized
tornado. A “gust front” is the leading edge of the thunderstorm downdraft air. It is most prominent near
the rain-free cloud base and on the leading edge of an approaching thunderstorm and is usually marked
by gusty, cool winds and sometimes by blowing dust. The gust front often precedes the thunderstorm
precipitation by several minutes. Straight-line winds, when associated with a thunderstorm, are most
frequently found with the gust front. These winds originate as downdraft air reaches the ground and
rapidly spreads out, becoming strong horizontal flow.
Windstorm History in Ramsey County
Ramsey County frequently experiences winds blowing at over 50 knots (Figure 9). According to NCEI
records, there have been 147 thunderstorm/high wind events reported between 1950 and April 2018,
with wind speeds of up to 86 knots. These winds can inflict damage to buildings and in some cases,
overturn high-profile vehicles. This dataset recorded 12 injuries and over $25 million in property
damage since 1950.
In June of 2017, two people were trapped when a tree fell on them during a windstorm in St. Paul.
Minor injuries were reported.
The most recent wind event causing property damage occurred in July of 2016. Trees toppled onto
vehicles in the Como, Midway and Highland Park areas of St. Paul. Property damage was approximately
$25,000, and 138,000 people were without power during the storm.
In November of 2012, $50,000 of property damage was reported in Ramsey County due to severe
winds of up to 56 knots. Most of the damage was the result of trees landing on cars, houses and sheds.
Winds blowing at 61 knots in June of 2012 blew down a large swath of trees from the Highland Park
area toward Randolph Avenue. Property damage was $50,000.
Severe thunderstorms with wind blowing at 60 knots downed 4,000 trees in the neighborhoods of St.
Anthony, Como and Phalen in August of 2007. One home was destroyed when a tree fell on it, and one
man was injured by a window crashing in on him. Part of the grandstand’s roof at the State Fair was
blown off, and dozens of vendor booths were damaged. XCEL Energy reported 250,000 outages in the
metro region. Property damage estimates were not recorded by the NCEI.
Wind and hail in Ramsey County on September 21, 2005 caused $25 million in property damage. A large
number of homes were destroyed by falling trees, and the roof of a mobile home in Mounds View was
blown off. Roads were blocked throughout the county. One person died in Mounds View while clearing
their property, and a child was injured in New Brighton from a falling limb.
In May of 1998, a derecho caused severe damages in Ramsey County, and in particular Highland Park, a
neighborhood in St. Paul. Wind speeds reached 100 mph, damaging 2,000 homes and felling thousands of
trees. Damages exceeded $48 million (Seeley M. , 2015).

Windstorms and Climate Change
Lack of high-quality long-term data sets make assessment of changes in wind speeds very difficult
(Kunkel, et al., 2013). One analysis generally found no evidence of significant changes in wind speed
distribution. Other trends in severe storms, including the numbers of hurricanes and the intensity and
frequency of tornadoes, hail, and damaging thunderstorm winds are uncertain. Since the impact of more
frequent or intense storms can be larger than the impact of average temperature, climate scientists are
actively researching the connections between climate change and severe storms (National Climate
Assessment Development Advisory Committee, 2013).
Vulnerability
The magnitude of summer storms each year is unpredictable within Ramsey County and the vulnerability
of jurisdictions to windstorms does not vary geographically. The vulnerability of each jurisdiction to
severe summer storms has not changed due to any development in the last 5 years.

4.4.3 Lightning
Lightning typically occurs as a by-product of a thunderstorm. In only a few millionths of a second, the air
near a lightning strike is heated to 50,000° F, a temperature hotter than the surface of the sun.
The hazard posed by lightning is significant. High winds, rainfall, and a darkening cloud cover are the
warning signs for possible cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. While many lightning casualties happen at
the beginning of an approaching storm, more than half of lightning deaths occur after a thunderstorm has
passed. Lightning has been known to strike more than 10 miles from the storm in an area with clear sky
above.
Lightning strikes the ground approximately 25 million times each year in the U.S. According to the
NWS, the chance of an individual in the U.S. being killed or injured by lightning during a given year is 1 in
240,000 (NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory, n.d.).
Lightning is the most dangerous and frequently encountered weather hazard that most people in the
United States experience annually. Lightning is the second most frequent killer in the U.S., behind floods
and flash floods, with nearly 100 deaths and 500 injuries annually. The lightning current can branch off to
strike a person from a tree, fence, pole, or other tall object. In addition, an electrical current may be
conducted through the ground to a person after lightning strikes a nearby tree, antenna, or another tall
object. The current may also travel through power lines, telephone lines, or plumbing pipes to damage
property or cause fires.
Lightning History in Ramsey County
The NCEI has recorded just 3 lightning events in Ramsey County, two of which occurred in 2005 and
one of which occurred in 1998. In August of 2005, lightning struck a home and a nearby tree on
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 53
Whitaker Street. The bolt damaged electrical equipment, and split the tree in two. One piece of the tree
then crashed through one of the home’s windows. Total property damage was not recorded by the
NCEI.
In June of 2005, lightning struck a home on Timberline Trail. The home caught fire, and sheetrock fell
upon a person lying in bed.
In August of 1998, one man died under a tree when lightning struck it.
Lightning and Climate Change
The projected possible intensity and frequency of tornadoes, hail, and damaging thunderstorm winds,
the conditions associated with lightning, are uncertain (National Climate Assessment Development
Advisory Committee, 2013). Severe rain events are becoming more common and may include an
additional risk of lightning.
Vulnerability
The magnitude of summer storms each year is unpredictable within Ramsey County and the vulnerability
of jurisdictions to lightning does not vary geographically. The vulnerability of each jurisdiction to severe

4.4.4 Hail
Hailstorms are a product of severe thunderstorms. Hail is formed when strong updrafts within the
storm carry water droplets above the freezing level, where they remain suspended and continue to
grow larger, until their weight can no longer be supported by the winds. Hailstones can vary in size,
depending on the strength of the updraft. The NWS uses the following descriptions when estimating hail
sizes: pea size is ¼-inch, marble size is ½-inch, dime size is ¾-inch, quarter size is 1-inch, golf ball size is
1 ¾-inches, and baseball size is 2 ¾-inches. Individuals who serve as volunteer “storm spotters” for the
NWS are located throughout the state, and are instructed to report hail dime size (¾-inch) or greater.
Hailstorms can occur throughout the year; however, the months of maximum hailstorm frequency are
typically between May and August. Although hailstorms rarely cause injury or loss of life, they can cause
significant property damage.
Hail History in Ramsey County
The NCEI has recorded 179 hail events in Ramsey County between 1950 and April 2018. While no
deaths or injuries have been recorded due to these events, they did cause over $7 million in property
damage.
The most recent hailstorm with recorded property damage in the county occurred in September of
2010. Hail the size of half dollars fell in the Highland Park area of St. Paul, northeast across the city. $5
million in property damage was recorded.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 56
In July of 2009, hail was reported from Maplewood southeast across North St. Paul. Minor damage was
noted near the intersection of Century Avenue and Holloway Avenue.
A hailstorm caused severe damage at the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus in May of 2001. The
damage estimate for the county as a whole was $2 million.
Hail is a concern in Ramsey County due to the damage it can inflict on property. Table 18 shows storms
producing hail greater than 1 inch in diameter in Ramsey County.

Hail and Climate Change
According to the Federal Advisory Committee Draft National Climate Assessment (NCA), trends in
severe storms, including the numbers of hurricanes and the intensity and frequency of tornadoes, hail,
and damaging thunderstorm winds are uncertain. Since the impact of more frequent or intense storms
can be larger than the impact of average temperature, climate scientists are actively researching the
connections between climate change and severe storms (National Climate Assessment Development
Advisory Committee, 2013).
The occurrence of very heavy precipitation has increased in Minnesota in recent decades and future
projections also indicate this will continue (International Climate Adaptation Team, 2013). While it is
unknown if this precipitation will occur during severe storms that produce hail, the possibility has not
been ruled out.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 57
Vulnerability
Summer storms affect Ramsey County each year, so there is a 100% probability that the county and its
jurisdictions will be affected. According to the 67-full year NCEI record, there is a 54% chance of a
significant hailstorm any year in Ramsey County and a 40% chance in each year that there will be a
hailstorm that produces hail greater than 1 inch in size.
The magnitude of summer storms each year is unpredictable within Ramsey County the vulnerability of
jurisdictions to summer storms does not vary geographically. The vulnerability of each jurisdiction to
severe summer storms has not changed due to any development in the last 5 years.
Severe Summer Storms and Electrical Outages
According to NOAA data, the natural hazards that caused the greatest overall property loss in
Minnesota between 1996 and 2014 were thunderstorms and lightning, at $86.3 million per year. The
state also experienced 23 electric transmission outages from 1992 to 2009, 5 of which were due to heat
waves and thunderstorms. On average, the number of people affected annually by all electric outages
during 2008 to 2013 in Minnesota was 449,995, with a high of 1,460,810 in 2011 (U.S. Department of
Energy, 2015). Figure 10 below shows the seasonality of electric outages by month for the years 2008-
2013, and Figure 11 shows the causes of outages in the state between 2008 and 2013, with the largest
cause being weather/falling trees.

Plans and Programs in Place
Ramsey County Emergency Operations Plan, Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan; Ramsey County Multijurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Plan, THIRA – Ramsey County maintains several different plans including an Emergency
Operations Plan, a Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan and the Ramsey County Multijurisdictional Hazard
Mitigation Plan which are designed as guides for emergency and/or recovery operations. These plans are
intended to assist key county/municipal officials and emergency organizations to carry out their
responsibilities for the protection of life and property under a wide range of emergency conditions.
Public Warning and Notification – In the event of emergencies or hazardous conditions that require timely
and targeted communication to the public, Ramsey County utilizes the Everbridge Mass Notification
System, the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA),
Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Facebook page, and local news media.
Ramsey County promotes the use of NOAA weather radios by critical facilities and the public to receive
information broadcast from the National Weather Service. Local television & radio stations assist with
sharing public information. Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center has recently upgraded
its siren system to be fully functional with the use of polygon-based warnings. Tornado warnings issued
by the National Weather Service will automatically sound sirens inside or very near the polygon.
Summer Weather Watches/Advisories/Warnings – Summer storm watches, advisories, warnings are
initiated by the National Weather Service. The Emergency warning system is activated by the dispatch
center as directed. Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center’s Outdoor Warning Siren
procedure can be viewed here: https://www.ramseycounty.us/residents/emergency-response-
preparedness/emergency-preparedness-management/preparing-disaster. Residents are also encouraged
to receive warnings by NOAA weather radio, Wireless Emergency Alerts and other means. Ramsey
County has COOP/COG plans in place. Ramsey County also uses both the county website and social
media to broadcast information to employees.
Outdoor Warning Sirens – There are 91 outdoor warning sirens deployed around Ramsey County. Of
these 91 sirens, 55 are in suburban Ramsey County and 36 are in Saint Paul. In 2015, Ramsey County
Emergency Communications Center started a project to integrate two separate outdoor warning siren
systems into a single, county-wide system using Federal Signal’s CommanderOne system. Under the
direction of and with funding from the Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center, Federal
Signal first conducted and completed a sound propagation study and a thorough inventory of siren
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 59
systems in municipal Ramsey County (Saint Paul upgraded all their sirens to compatible versions). This
information was shared with all the municipalities and those that own outdoor warning sirens upgraded
those sirens that required it. As of June 2018, all upgraded sirens were installed and are on line with the
CommanderOne system. All the sirens in Ramsey County are activated by Ramsey County Emergency
Communications Center. Sirens are activated when the National Weather Service notifies Ramsey
County Emergency Communications Center that there are high winds or tornado conditions that pose
risk to public safety. Sirens may also be activated for other situations such as a hazardous materials
incident under the direction of an Incident Commander.
Skywarn Program – Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security offers Skywarn
training in conjunction with Metro Skywarn on an annual basis to local public safety personnel, Ramsey
County employees and residents that wish to be trained as volunteers. Metro Skywarn spotters help to
keep our local municipalities safe by providing timely and accurate reports of severe weather to our
local National Weather Service office. Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security
monitors local Skywarn nets and relays information to appropriate persons as needed.
Severe Weather Awareness Week – Ramsey County helps promote and participates in the National
Weather Service’s “Severe Weather Awareness Week” held in April each year. The event seeks to
educate residents on the dangers of severe summer storms and highlights the importance of preparing
for severe weather before it strikes.
School Closings – The major school districts within Ramsey County have school closing policies and
communications plans in place if inclement weather or temperatures create a hazardous situation for
students or staff. School districts also use local mass media to relay information.
Severe Weather Shelters – The state requires shelters for manufactured home parks with 10 or more
manufactured homes per MN Statute 327.20. Ramsey County has 14 manufactured homes parks. Of
these parks, 12 have indicated they have shelters, one has stated it does not and one is in an unknown
status meaning that the shelter may or may not exist, and if it does, it may or may not be habitable. It is
also unknown with all the parks whether the existing shelters have capacity needed for populations
present. Given that this has become an issue with local media of late, Ramsey County Emergency
Management and Homeland Security will, in cooperation/coordination with other partners, place an
emphasis on this activity. (See KSTP News Story here: http://kstp.com/news/mobile-home-park-severe-
weather-storm-shelter-minnesota-law-nowhere-to-hide-chetek-wisconsin/4564189/?cat=5)
Aboveground Power Lines – Much of the power lines in the county are aboveground and subject to
damage from ice storms, wind, and falling tree limbs resulting in power outages. Ramsey County and
municipalities will work with power utilities to prioritize burying power lines to critical facilities.
Program Gaps or Deficiencies
Aboveground Power Lines – Much of the power lines in the county are aboveground and subject to
damage from ice storms, wind, and falling tree limbs resulting in power outages. Ramsey County and
municipalities will work with power utilities to prioritize burying power lines.
Backup Power – Not all county or municipal facilities have backup power to critical facilities in the event
of a severe winter storm that results in an extended power loss.

4.4.5 Flash Flood and Riverine Flood
Flooding is a significant natural hazard throughout the United States. The type, magnitude, and severity
of flooding are functions of the amount and distribution of precipitation over a given area, the rate at
which precipitation infiltrates the ground, the geometry and hydrology of the catchment, and flow
dynamics and conditions in and along the river channel. Upstream floods, also called flash floods, occur
in the upper parts of drainage basins and are generally characterized by periods of intense rainfall over a
short duration. These floods arise with very little warning and often result in locally intense damage, and
sometimes loss of life, due to the high energy of the flowing water. Flood waters can snap trees, topple
buildings, and easily move large boulders or other structures. Six inches of rushing water can upend a
person; another 18 inches might carry off a car. Generally, upstream floods cause damage over relatively
localized areas, but they can be quite severe. Urban flooding is a type of upstream flood, which involves
the overflow of storm drain systems and can be the result of inadequate drainage combined with heavy
rainfall or rapid snowmelt. Upstream or flash floods can occur at any time of the year in Minnesota, but
they are most common in the spring and summer. 15 flash flood events have been recorded in Ramsey
County since 1997.
Downstream floods, sometimes called riverine floods, refer to floods on large rivers at locations with
large upstream catchments. Downstream floods are typically associated with precipitation events that
are of relatively long duration and occur over large areas. Flooding on small tributary streams may be
limited, but the contribution of increased runoff may result in a large flood downstream. The lag time
between precipitation and the flood peak is much longer for downstream floods than for upstream
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018

floods, generally providing ample warning for people to move to safe locations and, to some extent,
secure some property against damage.
Nationwide, floods caused 4,586 deaths from 1959 to 2005 while property and crop damage averaged
nearly $8 billion per year (in 2011 dollars) from 1981-2011 (Georgakakos, et al., 2014).
During the past several decades, agencies have used the “100-year floodplain” as the design standard for
projects funded by the federal government. However, today floods of that magnitude are occurring far
more often than once per century (Natural Resources Defence Council, 2015). In recognition of
increasing risks, in January of 2015 the President issued an executive order that updates flood protection
standards that guide federally-funded projects in or near floodplains or along coastlines. These new
standards require federally-funded projects to either build 2 feet above the 100-year flood elevation for
standard projects and three feet above for critical buildings like hospitals and evacuation centers; or
build to the 500-year flood elevation (The White House, 2015).
Flood History in Ramsey County
A significant amount of work has been done in past years in the county related to riverine flooding.
Therefore, it has since decreased. Flash flooding, however, has been increasing.
In June of 2014, parts of Minnesota received 10-12 inches of rain from the 14th to the 23rd, which was
400-600% above normal. In the Twin Cities, it was the wettest start of the year on record since 1871.
The Minnesota State Emergency Operations Center was activated and the Governor declared a State of
Emergency for 35 counties. The St. Paul airport deployed a flood wall, resulting in the closure of two of
its runways. Floodwaters covered Harriet Island. Estimated total damages in Ramsey County was $1.9
million. The event resulted in a Presidential Disaster Declaration (DR-4182), which included Ramsey
County. The total Public Assistance obligated by FEMA to the county was $2 million.
Several highways and roads experienced significant flash flooding in July of 2011, when there was up to
four feet of standing water in northern portions of the county. Property damage was estimated at
$500,000.
In March of 2010, there were numerous flooding issues due to the flood crest on the Mississippi River in
Ramsey County. Communities from Mendota Bridge to Hastings on the river were hardest hit. NCEI
damage estimates were $2.4 million.
On September 20, 2007, a flash flood occurred in South Maplewood on Battle Creek, when two inches
of rain fell in one hour. A few boys were playing in the creek, and a thirteen-year-old boy died when he
was swept under a dam. Six homes were flooded, and a retaining wall blew out in the Swede Hollow
neighborhood. The NCEI reported $200,000 in property damage.

Vulnerability and Hazus Hazard Analysis
The University of Minnesota Duluth Geospatial Analysis Center (GAC) performed the hazard risk
assessment for 100-year floods using the Hazus GIS tool (FEMA).
FEMA’s Hazus 4.2 in ArcGIS 10.5.1 was used to estimate the potential losses incurred for a 100-year
flood event in Ramsey County using a Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM). A 10-meter Digital
Elevation Model (DEM) was used to create a flood depth grid. The resulting 100-year floodplain
boundary is shown in Figure 12.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 64
Figure 12. 100-Year Floodplain in Ramsey County

Page | 65
Ramsey County specific building data was sourced from the parcel tax and spatial databases to include
building valuations, occupancy class, square footage, year built, and number of stories. GIS data layers
named CDSTL_AttributedParcelPoly, CDSTL_AttributedParcelPoint, and STRUCT_Building were
obtained from the county to locate buildings within the county. The resulting spatial dataset included
166,407 unique parcel numbers; 153,950 of these records were identified as having building values and
were used in the analyses.
In cases where values were missing, values were assigned based on best practices from values in the
other variables and from the region. The data were then assigned to one parcel centroid, or building
location, which served as a surrogate for each parcel’s buildings to aggregate to the associated census
block for use in the Hazus model.
According to the Ramsey County general building stock (derived from the county’s parcel data and
imported to the Hazus model), the Hazus model estimates there are 153,950 parcels with buildings in
the region with a total value (excluding contents) of $40.8 billion (2010 dollars). Approximately 95.77%
of the buildings (and 72.16% of the building value) are associated with residential housing. The Hazus
model estimates 1,294 parcels’ buildings will be at least moderately damaged (>10% damage). 159
buildings are estimated to be completely destroyed.
The estimated total economic loss from the flood is $907.55 million dollars. Building-related losses are
broken into 2 categories: direct building losses and business interruption losses. The direct building
losses are the estimated costs to repair or replace the damage caused to the building and its contents.
The business interruption losses are associated with inability to operate a business because of the
damage sustained during the flood. Business interruption losses also include temporary living expenses
for people displaced from their homes because of the flood. The estimated total building-related losses
is $478.64 million dollars. 47% of the estimated losses are related to business interruption in the region.
Residential occupancies make up 28.29% of the total loss.
The reported building counts should be interpreted as degrees of loss rather than an exact number of
buildings exposed to flooding. These numbers were derived from aggregate building inventories, which
are assumed to be dispersed evenly across census blocks. Hazus requires that a predetermined amount
of square footage of a typical building sustain damage to produce a damaged building count. If only a
minimal amount of damage to buildings is predicted, it is possible to see zero damaged building counts
while also seeing economic losses.
The total estimated number of damaged buildings (parcels as a surrogate), total building losses, and total
economic losses for the 100-year flood are shown in Table 21. The distribution of economic losses for
Ramsey County is depicted in Figure 13.

Census blocks of concern should be reviewed in more detail to determine the actual location and
proximity of facilities with respect to the flood hazard areas. The aggregate losses reported in this study
may be overstated since values are distributed evenly across a census block. Although census blocks
within the city limits of St. Paul were not included in this ranking, (because St. Paul has its own hazard
mitigation plan and the city’s jurisdiction is not included in the Ramsey County plan), 12 census blocks
within St. Paul’s city limits have total estimated losses greater than $4,756,000.
The 3 census blocks with the greatest estimated loss values (calculated by adding the total value of the
buildings + the value of the buildings’ contents located within a census block), which contain parcels with
buildings located within the floodplain, are listed in Table 22. These potentially high loss census blocks,
used for the loss estimation and the Hazus output floodplain, are shown in Figure 17, Figure 18 and
Figure 19. In some cases, the assets of value may not fall in the floodplain in the same proportion that
the floodplain covers the entire census block. For this reason, some potential losses may be overstated.

An additional analysis was performed to identify the 10 parcels, excluding those in St. Paul, with the
highest values (building + contents) that contain at least one building which intersect the 100-year
floodplain. Some of the parcels are in one of the 3 census blocks with the greatest estimated loss; these
parcels are labeled accordingly. The results of this analysis are shown in Table 23.

Hazus Essential Facility Loss Analysis
Essential facilities encounter the same impacts as other buildings within the flood boundary: structural
failure, extensive water damage to the facility, and loss of facility functionality (i.e. a damaged police
station will no longer be able to serve the community). However, none of Ramsey County’s essential
facilities (care facilities, fire stations, police stations and schools) included in the Hazus analysis are
located within the flood boundary.
Hazus Shelter Requirement Analysis
Hazus estimates the number of households that are expected to be displaced from their homes due to
the flood and the associated potential evacuation. Hazus also estimates those displaced people that may
require accommodations in temporary public shelters. The model estimates 2,015 households may be
displaced due to the flood. Displacement includes households evacuated from within or very near to the
inundated area. Of these, the model estimates 342 people (out of a total population of 508,640) may
seek temporary shelter in public shelters.
Hazus Debris Generation Analysis
Hazus estimates the amount of debris that may be generated by the flood. The model breaks debris into
3 general categories: 1) Finishes (dry wall, insulation, etc.), 2) Structural (wood, brick, etc.) and 3)
Foundations (concrete slab, concrete block, rebar, etc.). This distinction is made because of the different
types of material handling equipment required to handle the debris.
The model estimates that a total of 16,961 tons of debris will be generated. Of the total amount,
Finishes comprises 61% of the total, Structural comprises 23% of the total, and Foundation comprises
16%. If the debris tonnage is converted into an estimated number of truckloads, it would require 679
truckloads (@25 tons/truck) to remove the debris generated by the flood.
Flooding and Climate Change
As Minnesota’s climate changes, the quantity and character of precipitation is changing. Average
precipitation has increased in the Midwest since 1900, with more increases in recent years. The Midwest
has seen a 45% increase in very heavy precipitation (defined as the heaviest 1% of all daily events) from
1958 to 2011 (National Climate Assessment Development Advisory Committee, 2013). This
precipitation change has led to amplified magnitudes of flooding. Increased precipitation may also show
seasonal changes, trending toward wetter springs and drier summers and falls. An example of a recent
year with this character was 2012, when many MN counties were eligible for federal disaster assistance
for drought, while others were eligible for flooding, and 7 were eligible for both in the same year (Seeley
M. , 2013). In 2007, 24 Minnesota counties received drought designation, while 7 counties were declared
flood disasters. In 2012, 55 Minnesota counties received federal drought designation at the same time 11
counties declared flood emergencies. In addition, the yearly frequency of the largest storms – those with
3 inches or more of rainfall in a single day – has more than doubled in just over 50 years. In the past
decade, such dramatic rains have increased by more than 7% (MN Environmental Quality Board, 2014).
Southeastern Minnesota has experienced three 1000-year floods in the past decade: in September 2004,
August 2007 and September 2010 (Meador, 2013). The 2004 flood occurred when parts of south-
central Minnesota received over 8 inches of precipitation. Faribault and Freeborn counties received over
10 inches in 36 hours. The deluge led to numerous reports of stream flooding, urban flooding, mudslides
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 76
and road closures (MN DNR, 2004). During the 2007 event, 15.10 inches fell in 24 hours in Houston
County, the largest 24-hour rainfall total ever recorded by an official National Weather Service
reporting location. The previous Minnesota record was 10.84 inches in 1972. The resulting flooding
from the 2007 rainfall caused 7 fatalities (MN DNR, 2007). In September 2010, a storm on the 22-23rd
resulted in more than 6 inches of rain falling over 5,000 square miles in southern Minnesota. Rainfall
totals of more than 8 inches were reported in portions of 10 counties. The heavy rain, falling on soils
already sodden from a wet summer, led to numerous reports of major rural and urban flooding. For
many monitoring locations in southern Minnesota, stream discharge resulting from the deluge was the
highest ever seen during an autumn flood (Minnesota Climatology Working Group, 2010).
June 2014 was the wettest month on record in Minnesota, with a state-averaged rainfall of 8.03 inches.
This broke the previous record of 7.32 inches, which occurred in both July 1897 and June 1914. Rainfall
totals for much of the state ranked above the 95th percentile when compared with the historical record;
in some cases, the totals tripled that of the historical rainfall average for June. Scott County received
between 10-12 inches of rain during June 2014 (MN DNR, 2014). A presidential disaster declaration was
declared due to the severe storms, winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides (DR-4182), which included
37 Minnesota counties (including Ramsey County) and 3 Indian Reservations.
Plans and Programs in Place
Ramsey County Emergency Operations Plan, Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan; Ramsey County Multijurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Plan, THIRA – Ramsey County maintains several different plans including an Emergency
Operations Plan, a Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan and the Ramsey County Multijurisdictional Hazard
Mitigation Plan, which are designed as guides for emergency and/or recovery operations. These plans are
intended to assist key county/municipal officials and emergency organizations to carry out their
responsibilities for the protection of life and property under a wide range of emergency conditions.
Public Warning and Notification – In the event of emergencies or hazardous conditions that require timely
and targeted communication to the public, Ramsey County utilizes the Everbridge Mass Notification
System, the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA),
Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Facebook page, and local news media.
Ramsey County promotes the use of NOAA weather radios by critical facilities and the public to receive
information broadcast from the National Weather Service. Local television & radio stations assist with
sharing public information. Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center has recently upgraded
its siren system to be fully functional with the use of polygon-based warnings. Tornado warnings issued
by the National Weather Service will automatically sound sirens inside or very near the polygon.
Flood Watches/Advisories/Warnings – Flood watches, advisories or warnings are issued by the National
Weather Service. Ramsey County has COOP/COG plans in place. Ramsey County also uses both the
county website and social media to broadcast information to employees.
Severe Weather Awareness Week – Ramsey County helps promote and participates in the National
Weather Service’s “Severe Weather Awareness Week” held in April each year. One of the days is
dedicated to floods and flood education. The event provides education to residents on the dangers of
severe weather, including flooding, and how to properly deal with it.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018

National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) – The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a federal
program created by Congress to mitigate future flood losses nationwide through sound, community-
enforced building and zoning ordinances and to provide access to affordable, federally-backed flood
insurance protection for property owners. The NFIP is designed to provide an insurance alternative to
disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents
caused by floods. Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local communities and the
federal government that states that if a community will adopt and enforce a floodplain management
ordinance to reduce future flood risks to new construction in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the
federal government will make flood insurance available within the community as a financial protection
against flood losses. North Oaks is the only city in Ramsey County not participating in the NFIP (Table
24).

Wellhead Protection Plan – Municipalities that use well water have and maintain a Wellhead Protection
Plan. This plan presents the actions that will be taken to manage potential contamination sources that
may present a risk to the quality of the community’s drinking water.
Watershed Management Organizations – There are six watershed management organizations that serve
Ramsey County: Ramsey Conservation District, Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District, Vadnais
Lake Area Watershed Management Organization, Capitol Region Watershed District, Rice Creek
Watershed District, and the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization. Each
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 78
organization has some type of governance and technical assistance program that aids landowners and
local governments for managing conservation issues including controlling or fixing erosion, practices that
moderate runoff, or practices that build resiliency.
Program Gaps & Deficiencies
Increasing Culverts and Raising Roads – Ramsey County Public Works Department is responsible for the
maintenance and construction of County State Aid Highways and County Roads, which include 293
miles of roadway and 92 bridges. Municipalities or watersheds also hold some responsibility for certain
drainage systems. Ramsey County will need to assess who is responsible for these areas.
Community Rating System – Ramsey County EMHS will explore enrollment in the Community Rating
System (CRS) with municipalities.
Vulnerable Structure Identification – Ramsey County EMHS will identify critical infrastructure and
vulnerable structures within floodplains and promote applicable flood-proofing measures with owners or
municipalities.
Backup Power – Not all county or municipal facilities have backup power to critical facilities in the event
of a severe flood event storm that results in an extended power loss.
Communications – Everbridge’s open subscription service was made available to the public in September
2016 (https://www.ramseycounty.us/alerts). However, not all residents have subscribed to or follow our
Facebook page to receive important messages. Additionally, there are translation services for only three
languages (Spanish, Somali, and Hmong). There are over 100 identified languages spoken in Ramsey
County, and more than 50 are spoken preferentially in the home. Ramsey County Emergency
Management and Homeland Security will, in cooperation/coordination with other partners, place an
emphasis on increasing citizen subscription to Everbridge.
4.4.6 Severe Winter Storms – Blizzards, Ice Storms
Blizzards are storms that contain heavy snowfall, strong winds and cold temperatures. The combination
of these elements creates blinding snow with near zero visibility, deep snowdrifts, and life-threatening
wind chill temperatures. Blizzards are the most dramatic and destructive of all winter storms that occur
within Ramsey County, and are generally characterized as storms bearing large amounts of snow
accompanied by strong winds. They can completely immobilize travel in large areas and can be life-
threatening to humans and animals in their path. According to the National Weather Service (NWS),
there is no fixed temperature requirement for blizzard conditions, but the life-threatening nature of low
temperatures in combination with blowing snow and poor visibility increases dramatically when
temperatures fall below 20° F. Blizzards typically occur between October and April; however, they
occur most frequently from early November to late March.
The greatest numbers of blizzards historically have occurred in the months of January, followed by
March and November, respectively. Ramsey County, along with all areas of Minnesota, is susceptible to
blizzards.
Damages from blizzards can range from human and livestock deaths to significant snow removal costs.
Stranded drivers can make uninformed decisions, such as leaving the car to walk in conditions that put
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 79
them at risk. Because of the blinding potential of heavy snowstorms, drivers are also at risk of collisions
with snowplows or other road traffic.
Drivers and homeowners without emergency
plans and kits are vulnerable to the life-
threatening effects of heavy snowstorms such
as power outages, cold weather, and inability
to travel, communicate, obtain goods or reach
their destinations. Heavy snow loads can cause
structural damage, particularly in areas where
there are no building codes or where
residents live in manufactured home parks.
The frequency of structural fires tends to
increase during heavy snow events, primarily
due to utility disruptions and the use of
alternative heating methods by residents.
Between the years of 1975 and 1991, there were 49 deaths associated with blizzards statewide, or an
average of 3 deaths per year. Deaths attributable to blizzards have dropped in recent years, primarily
due to increased weather awareness and warning capabilities across the state. The economic costs of
winter storms are generally not recorded by the NCEI; however, a winter storm in November 2001
resulted in property damage of $500,000.
Ice storms are described as occasions when damaging accumulations of ice occur due to freezing rain.
The terms freezing rain and freezing drizzle warn the public that a coating of ice is expected on the
ground and other exposed surfaces. Heavy accumulations of ice can bring down trees, electrical wires,
telephone poles and lines and communication towers.
Communications and power can be disrupted for days while utility companies work to repair extensive
damage. Ice forming on exposed objects generally ranges from a thin glaze to coatings more than 1 inch
thick. Even small accumulations of ice on sidewalks, streets and highways may cause extreme hazards to
Ramsey County motorists and pedestrians. Sleet does not stick to trees and wires, but sleet of sufficient
thickness does cause hazardous driving conditions. Heavy sleet is a relatively rare occurrence, defined as
an accumulation of ice pellets covering the ground to a depth of ½-inch or more.
Ice and sleet storms typically occur from October through April. The NWS notes that over 85% of ice
storm-related deaths are the result of traffic accidents. The NCEI has recorded 1 ice storm in Ramsey
County, in January of 1996. No deaths or injuries were reported.
Observing winter storm watches and warnings and adequate preparation can lessen the impact of
blizzards in Minnesota. Technical advances made in transportation, including safer vehicles and improved
construction and maintenance of roads, have also contributed to the decline in deaths related to
blizzards. Historical estimates of dollar losses associated with blizzards were not available for the
purposes of this analysis. However, costs incurred by state and local government for snow removal
associated with disaster declaration DR-1158 (January 1997) totaled over $27,300,000 dollars. Blizzards
Figure 20. Armistice Day Blizzard, 1940

Page | 80
rank 9th out of the 10 natural hazards economically impacting Minnesota according to the statewide risk
analysis. The chance that another winter storm affecting Ramsey County will occur is highly probable.
Severe Winter Storm History in Ramsey County
The total of notable events defined as heavy snows, blizzards, winter weather, ice storms and winter
storms in Ramsey County recorded by the NCEI for the period from 1996 to April 2018 is 63. The
NCEI did not record any deaths, injuries or property damage for these events.
An overview of some of the recent notable winter storms can be found in Table 25 below.

Severe Winter Storms and Climate Change
Historically, winter storms have had a large impact on public safety in Minnesota. This will continue, with
a possible increase in snowstorm frequency and annual total snowfall. Winter weather is often a cause
of power outages. Pressures on energy use, reduced reliability of services, potential outages and the
potential rise in household costs for energy are major climate change risks to public health.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 81
According to the 2015 Minnesota Weather Almanac, a recent study of seasonal snowfall records across
the state from 1890-2000 showed that 41 of 46 climate stations recorded an increase in average annual
snowfall, by as much as 10 inches. Higher snowfall levels can result in greater runoff potential during
spring snowmelt, and many watersheds in Minnesota have shown more consistent measures of high-
volume flows during spring, often at or above flood stage (Seeley M. , 2015).
Vulnerability
The number of heavy snowfall years for the Midwest has fluctuated between 1900 and 2006. The
periods of 1900-1920 and 1960-1985 had numerous years with snowfall totals over the 90th percentile.
In the past 3 decades, the number of heavy seasonal snowfall totals has been much lower. Despite these
generally lower seasonal snowfall totals, some areas of the Midwest have still experienced significant
snow totals in the most recent decade. The 100-year linear trends based on decadal values show that
the upper Midwest had statistically significant (1% level) upward linear trends in snowstorm frequency
from 1901 to 2000 (Kunkel, et al., 2013).
Winter storms affect Ramsey County each year, so there is a 100% probability that the county and its
jurisdictions will be affected annually. The amount of snow and ice, number of blizzards, and days of sub-
zero temperatures each year are unpredictable and within Ramsey County the vulnerability of
jurisdictions to winter storms does not vary geographically. Citizens living in climates such as these must
always be prepared for situations that put their lives or property at risk. It is not always the size of the
storm or the depth of the cold, but an unprepared individual with a vehicle breakdown or lack of a
personal winter safety kit that are at risk. Rural citizens are more vulnerable to issues with deep snow.
The vulnerability of each jurisdiction to severe winter storms has not changed due to any development
in the last 5 years.
Severe Winter Storms and Electrical Outages
The leading cause of electric outages in Minnesota during 2008 to 2013 was weather/falling trees.
Between 2008 and 2013, the greatest number of electric outages in Minnesota occurred during the
month of March (U.S. Department of Energy, 2015).
Plans and Programs in Place

education for residents on the dangers of winter weather and how to properly deal with it.
School Closings – The major school districts within Ramsey County have school closing policies and
communications plans in place if inclement weather or temperatures create a hazardous situation for
students or staff. School districts also use local mass media to relay information.
Snow Removal – Ramsey County and its municipalities complete the snow removal from all county and
municipal roads and dispense salt/sand as needed. MNDOT will remove the snow from Interstate and
State Highways as well as disperse salt/sand as needed. Municipalities have snow emergency plans and
ordinances in place.
Backup Power – The Law Enforcement Center (jail, admin.), Emergency Communications Center, Medical
Examiner’s Office, Public Works Facility (maintenance areas, admin and primary EOC backup power),
and Nursing Home have generator backup power. Ramsey County and municipalities continue to assess
what critical facilities need backup power.
Program Gaps or Deficiencies
Aboveground Power Lines – Much of the power lines in the county are aboveground and subject to
damage from ice storms, wind, and falling tree limbs resulting in power outages. Ramsey County and
municipalities will work with power utilities to prioritize burying power lines.
Backup Power – Not all county or municipal facilities have backup power to critical facilities in the event
of a severe winter storm that results in an extended power loss.

4.4.7 Extreme Cold
Winter in Ramsey County can be severe, and especially dangerous for disabled citizens and outdoor
workers. Record temperature lows and arctic-like wind chills can cause cold-related illnesses such as
frostbite and hypothermia, which can be deadly. Hypothermia is the greatest and most life-threatening
cold weather danger.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 83
In Ramsey County, cold winter weather can have severe or fatal impacts. Hypothermia occurs when the
core body temperature drops below 96° F. Anyone who is exposed to severe cold without enough
protection can develop hypothermia. Frostbite occurs when skin tissue and blood vessels are damaged
from exposure to temperatures below 32° F. It most commonly affects the toes, fingers, earlobes, chin,
cheeks, nose, and other body parts that are often left uncovered in cold temperatures. The NWS issues
“Extreme cold” warnings when it feels like -30° F or colder across a wide area for several hours.
Extreme cold watches are issued a day or two before the conditions are expected.
Medical costs related to extreme heat and cold can be enormous: in 2005 the total was $1.5 billion
nationwide, or more than $16,000 per patient (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2009).
Below zero temperatures occur almost every winter in Minnesota. January is the coldest month, with
daytime highs averaging 20° F and nighttime lows averaging 2° F. However, these averages do not tell
the whole story. Maximum temperatures in January have been as high as 61° F and minimums as low as
36° F below zero.
Extreme cold temperatures affect the county nearly every year. Extremely cold air settled over
Minnesota on January 31st of 1996, and remained entrenched through February 4th. A new record low
temperature for Minnesota was set in the town of Tower on February 2, 1996, at -60° F. Numerous
record low temperatures were set during the period at St. Cloud, Rochester and the Twin Cities.
Minneapolis/St. Paul set 3 new record low temperatures as well as recording the 2nd coldest day on
record on February 2, 1996. A mean temperature of -25° F was measured that day with a high of -17° F
and a low of -32° F in the Twin Cities. This was within 2 degrees of tying the all-time record low
temperature set in the Twin Cities and the coldest temperature recorded this century. Many central and
southern Minnesota locations set new record low temperatures the morning of the 2nd. The Governor
closed all schools that day.
In February of 2014, nearly all of Minnesota was between 10-15° F colder than normal (1981-2010
period) (High Plains Regional Climate Center, 2014). The winter of 2013-2014 was the sixth coldest on
record in Minnesota (The Weather Channel, 2014), with schools in the Twin Cities canceling 5 times in
January due to dangerous wind chills. It was the coldest winter in the Twin Cities in 35 years, with an
average temperature for December-February of 9.7° F (MN DNR, 2014). Many areas in the state also
experienced higher than average precipitation through the winter and spring months.
Extreme Cold History in Ramsey County
January is the coldest month on average in St. Paul, with an average low of 6° F. The lowest temperature
ever recorded in the city occurred in February of 1996, when it fell to -32° F. December and January are
the snowiest months, with December averaging 11 inches and January averaging 12 inches of snow
(Intellicast, 2018).
According to the NCEI, in January of 2018, wind chills near -35° F occurred, resulting in 1 death. A man
was found in St. Paul who had died from exposure.
In December of 2016, a woman froze to death in St. Paul, outside of her apartment building when the
wind chill dropped to -19° F.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018

Wind chill values dropped below -35° F for several hours in Ramsey County in January of 2014, during a
prolonged period of cold. Propane supplies in the region became very low, leading to the Governor
declaring a Peacetime State of Emergency. Earlier in the month the Governor cancelled all public-school
classes in the state due to extreme wind chills. It was the first such closing in 17 years.
Two men died in Ramsey County in January of 2009, when the wind chill fell below -35° F.
Extreme Cold and Climate Change
Although climate research indicates that Minnesota’s average winter lows are rising rapidly, and our
coldest days of winter are now warmer than we have ever recorded (NCEI, 2018), cold temperatures
have always been a part of Minnesota’s climate and extreme cold events will continue. An increase in
extreme precipitation or storm events such as ice storms as the climate changes could lead to a higher
risk of residents being exposed to cold temperatures during power outages or other storm-related
hazards during extreme cold.
Vulnerability
Extreme cold temperatures affect the county nearly every year. The amount of snow and ice, number of
blizzards, and days of sub-zero temperatures each year are unpredictable.
Within Ramsey County the risk of extreme cold does not vary geographically. Citizens living in climates
such as these must always be prepared for situations that put their lives or property at risk. It is not
always the depth of the cold, but an unprepared individual with a vehicle breakdown or lack of a
personal winter safety kit that are at risk. The vulnerability of each jurisdiction to extreme cold has not
changed due to any development in the last 5 years.
Plans and Programs in Place
Ramsey County Emergency Operations Plan, Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan; Ramsey County Multijurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Plan, THIRA – Ramsey County maintains several different plans including an Emergency
Operations Plan, a Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan and the Ramsey County Multijurisdictional Hazard
Mitigation Plan, which are designed as guides for emergency and/or recovery operations. These plans are
intended to assist key county/municipal officials and emergency organizations to carry out their
responsibilities for the protection of life and property under a wide range of emergency conditions.
Public Warning and Notification – In the event of emergencies or hazardous conditions that require timely
and targeted communication to the public, Ramsey County utilizes the Everbridge Mass Notification
System, the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA),
Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Facebook page, and local news media.
Ramsey County promotes the use of NOAA weather radios by critical facilities and the public to receive
information broadcast from the National Weather Service. Local television & radio stations assist with
sharing public information. Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center has recently upgraded
its siren system to be fully functional with the use of polygon-based warnings. Tornado warnings issued
by the National Weather Service will automatically sound sirens inside or very near the polygon.
School Closings – The major school districts within Ramsey County have school closing policies and
communications plans in place if inclement weather or temperatures create a hazardous situation for
students or staff. School districts also use local mass media to relay information.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018

Mass Care Shelter Facilities – A period of extreme cold coupled with a major power outage may require
emergency sheltering for those in need. Saint Paul/Ramsey County Public Health has designated shelter
facilities that have agreements with the American Red Cross.
Winter Hazard Awareness Week – Ramsey County helps promote and participates in the National
Weather Service’s “Winter Hazard Awareness Week” held in November each year. The event provides
education for residents on the dangers of winter weather and how to properly deal with it.
Program Gaps or Deficiencies
Generators for Backup Power to Shelter Facilities – Not all shelter locations have backup power generators.
In the event of a power outage during a period of extreme heat or extreme cold, designated shelters
must be ready to provide either temporary or extended periods of sheltering for those in need if there
is an extended loss of power.
Power Restoration – Ramsey County EMHS needs to work with utilities to develop prioritized power
restoration plans.
Communications – Everbridge’s open subscription service was made available to the public in September
2016 (https://www.ramseycounty.us/alerts). However, not all residents have subscribed to or follow our
Facebook page to receive important messages. Additionally, there are translation services for only three
languages (Spanish, Somali, and Hmong). There are over 100 identified languages spoken in Ramsey
County, and more than 50 are spoken preferentially in the home. Ramsey County Emergency
Management and Homeland Security will, in cooperation/coordination with other partners, place an
emphasis on increasing citizen subscription to Everbridge.
4.4.8 Extreme Heat
Humans need to maintain a constant body temperature if they are to stay healthy. Working in high
temperatures induces heat stress when more heat is absorbed into the body than can be dissipated out.
Heat illness such as prickly heat, fainting from heat exhaustion, or heat cramps are visible signs that
people are working in unbearable heat. In the most severe cases, the body temperature control system
breaks down altogether and body temperature rises rapidly. This is a heat stroke, which can be fatal.
The NWS issues a heat advisory when, during a 24-hour period, the temperature ranges from 105° F to
114° F during the day, and remains at or above 80° F at night.
Extreme heat events are linked to a range of illnesses, even death, and can exacerbate pre-existing
chronic conditions such as cardiovascular, respiratory, liver, and neurological diseases, endocrine
disorders, and renal disease or failure. Populations who are most vulnerable to extreme heat include
persons over 65 or under 5 years old; living alone, without air-conditioning, or residing on the topmost
floor of a building; and with an income at or below the poverty line. People who are exposed to heat
because of recreational activities or job-related activities also are more vulnerable, including athletes,
construction workers, and landscape/agricultural workers (Adapting to Climate Change in Minnesota:
2013 Report of the Interagency Climate Adaptation Team, 2013).
Medical costs related to extreme heat and cold can be enormous: in 2005 the total was $1.5 billion
nationwide, or more than $16,000 per patient (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2009).
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018

Extreme Heat History in Ramsey County
July is the hottest month on average in St. Paul, with an average high of 83° F. The highest temperature
ever recorded there occurred in 1988, when it rose to 105° F (Intellicast, 2018).
According to the NCEI, in July of 2015, several observations across Ramsey County measured heat
indices over 105° F for two days in a row. The highest heat index value was 116° F.
Heat indices of 105° F occurred in August of 2013, during the Minnesota State Fair. 216 people required
treatment due to heat-related illnesses. 10 people required transport to local hospitals. Minneapolis
schools also cancelled outdoor athletic practices during this period of extreme heat.
The following is taken from the 2018 Report: Planning for Climate & Health Impacts in Metro
Minnesota: Emergency Management Considerations for HSEM Region 6 (MDH, 2018):
Minneapolis experienced its most humid day on record and tied the all-time record for a heat
index (119 degrees) during the Extreme Heat Wave of 2011. The magnitude and persistence of
high dew point temperatures and heat index values led meteorologists to label the event a
“humidity storm”. In the metro area, temperatures soared both day and night – two days hit a
maximum 100 degrees and 12 more reached 90 degrees, while a record of 80 degrees was set
for nighttime lows. Due to the urban heat island effect, temperatures in the metro region are
often higher compared to less urban surrounding areas, usually an average of 2 degrees higher.
However, during heat waves this temperature difference can spike to as much as 9 degrees.
Ultraviolet (UV) monitoring showed dangerously elevated levels of radiation during the heat
wave, which can lead to acute and chronic effects on the skin, eyes, and immune system,
including skin cancer and cataracts. The average UV index for July 2011 (9.7) was the highest for
any July since 1994. The UV index for days during peak heat intensity were above 10, a level
associated with a very high risk of serious health effects.
Extreme Heat and Climate Change
Minnesota’s average temperature has increased more than 1.5°F since recordkeeping began in 1895,
with increased warming happening in recent decades (International Climate Adaptation Team, 2013).
Annual temperatures in the Midwest have generally been well above the 1901-1960 average since the
late 1990s, with the decade of the 2000s being the warmest on record (Kunkel, et al., 2013). Seven of
Minnesota’s 10 warmest years occurred in the last 15 years. Projected increases are 2° F to 6° F more
by 2050 and 5° F to 10° F by 2100 (MN Environmental Quality Board, 2014). The Midwest has
experienced major heat waves and their frequency has increased over the last 6 decades (Perera, et al.,
2012). For the U.S., mortality increases 4% during heat waves compared with non-heat wave days
(Anderson & Bell, 2011). Heat stress is projected to increase because of climbing summer temperatures
and humidity (Schoof, 2012). On July 19, 2011, Moorhead Minnesota set a new state record for the
hottest heat index ever, at 134° F. That same day, Moorhead also recorded a new state record for the
highest dew point at 88. It was the hottest, most humid spot on the planet that day (Douglas, 2011).
Statistics from NOAA show that there are more human fatalities each year due to heat waves than from
floods, lightning, tornadoes and winter storms. Many cities have responded by creating Heat Wave
Response Plans to ensure that those in marginal health without air conditioning can obtain the relief and
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 87
care they need, and the Minnesota Department of Health developed the Extreme Heat Toolkit to help
educate at-risk populations on how to reduce risks associated with heat waves (Seeley M. , 2015).
Population projections show a sizable increase in children alongside a substantial increase in seniors in
the Metro Region. Children and seniors have a reduced physical capacity to adjust to and cope with high
heat, and are often partially dependent on others to ensure their personal safety and well-being,
characteristics that contribute to increased vulnerability. In addition, children often spend more time
engaged in physical activity outdoors, while seniors on limited incomes may struggle to pay for air-
conditioning. Rising electricity usage may also lead to power disruption or even prolonged outages,
which can have further negative health effects (MDH, 2018).
Vulnerability
Within Ramsey County the risk of extreme heat does not vary geographically. The vulnerability of each
jurisdiction to extreme heat has not changed due to any development in the last 5 years.

4.4.9 Drought
A drought refers to an extended period of deficient rainfall relative to the statistical mean for a region.
Drought can be defined according to meteorological, hydrological, socioeconomic, and agricultural
criteria. Meteorological drought is qualified by any significant deficit of precipitation. Hydrological
drought is manifest in noticeably reduced river and stream flow and critically low groundwater tables.
The term agricultural drought indicates an extended dry period that results in crop stress and harvest
reduction. Socioeconomic drought refers to the situation that occurs when water shortages begin to
affect people and their lives. It associates economic goods with the elements of meteorological,
agricultural, and hydrological drought. Many supplies of economic goods (e.g., water, food grains,
hydroelectric power) are greatly dependent on the weather. Due to natural variations in climate, water
supplies are high in some years but low in others. Fluctuating long-term climate variations make drought
difficult to predict.
Drought History in Ramsey County
Ramsey County experienced its worst drought in the 1930s and again experienced drought conditions in
1976. To date, agricultural losses have been the primary losses associated with drought, as no critical
facilities have sustained any damage or functional downtime due to dry weather conditions. Because of
the extremely unpredictable nature of drought (including duration), reliably calculating a recurrence
interval is difficult.
Ramsey County experienced a severe drought between July 2008 and June 2010. However, the county
did not experience any economic or other negative impact from this drought.
The hazard rank for drought in Ramsey County is medium. Sustained drought can cause severe
economic stress to the agricultural interests in Ramsey County and the entire state. The potential
negative effects of sustained drought are numerous. In addition to an increased threat of wildfires,
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 89
drought can affect municipal and industrial water supplies, stream-water quality, water recreation
facilities, hydropower generation, as well as agricultural and forest resources.
Drought and Climate Change
Droughts have been happening throughout Minnesota’s history and it is not yet clear how climate
change may impact this (International Climate Adaptation Team, 2013). While there was no apparent
change in drought duration in the Midwest over the past century (Dai, 2011), the average number of
days without precipitation is projected to increase in the future (National Climate Assessment
Development Advisory Committee, 2013).
Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, projected higher air temperatures will cause
increased surface evaporation and plant water loss, leading to drier soils. As soil dries out, a larger
proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than
evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions (Mueller &
Seneviratne, 2012).
Across the nation, drought is affecting water supplies, as ground and surface water levels are increasingly
reduced due to growing consumption and withdrawal. These trends are expected to continue, with a
higher likelihood of water shortages (Georgakakos, et al., 2014).
In 2007, 24 Minnesota counties received drought designation, while 7 counties were declared flood
disasters. In 2012, 55 Minnesota counties received federal drought designation at the same time 11
counties declared flood emergencies (MN Environmental Quality Board, 2014).
In May of 2015, over 90% of Minnesota was undergoing severe or moderate drought, due to low snow
levels during the 2014-2015 winter and dry spring weather, with precipitation deficits totaling 3-6 inches
below average across much of the state since October 2014. Water levels on streams, lakes and
wetlands were below average, and wildfires were common during April of 2015. Blowing soil was also
reported due to high winds and the dried-out landscape (MN DNR, 2015).
Vulnerability
Jurisdictions in Ramsey County do not vary in their vulnerability to drought. The vulnerability of each
jurisdiction to drought has not changed due to any development in the last 5 years.
Plans and Programs in Place
Ramsey County Groundwater Protection Plan – The current Ramsey County Groundwater Protection Plan
was prepared in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 103B.255, through identification of existing and
potential problems or opportunities for protection, management, and development of water resources
and related land resources. This plan was developed under guidance from both municipal and watershed
district representation.
MN Drought Response Plan – The State of Minnesota has a statewide drought response plan in place. The
plan was prepared by the Minnesota DNR. Saint Paul Regional Water Services also has plans in place.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018

Wellhead Protection Plan – Municipalities that use well water have and maintain a Wellhead Protection
Plan. This plan presents the actions that will be taken to manage potential contamination sources that
may present a risk to the quality of the community’s drinking water.
Program Gaps or Deficiencies
Communications – Everbridge’s open subscription service was made available to the public in September

emphasis on increasing citizen subscription to Everbridge.
Public Education – Develop an education and public awareness campaign (i.e., for water conservation
measures and wildfire safety during periods of drought).
4.4.10 Wildfire
A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire spreading through vegetative fuels, posing danger and destruction to
property. Wildfires can occur in undeveloped areas and spread to urban areas where structures and
other human developments are more concentrated. While some wildfires start by natural causes like
lightning, humans cause 4 out of every 5 wildfires. Debris burns, arson or carelessness are the leading
causes of wildfires. As a natural hazard, a wildfire is often the direct result of a lightning strike that may
destroy personal property and public land areas, especially on national and state forest lands. The
dangers from wildfire include the destruction of timber, property and wildlife, and injury or loss of life to
people living in the affected area or using the area for recreational facilities.
While wildfires are often viewed in a negative light, they are a naturally occurring part of the
environment. Wildfires are an important component of healthy forest and prairie ecology, and can be
beneficial by reducing dangerously high fuel levels and putting nutrients into the ground that spur new
growth. In addition, many flora species require fire for seed germination. However, as people settled
this country and began clearing land and building homes, roads, railroads, and campgrounds, new
artificial causes of wildfire emerged and their frequency and level of destruction increased.
Causes of wildfires vary from state to state. For example, in Florida, lightning ignites approximately half
of all wildfires, while in Minnesota lightning causes less than 5% of all wildfires. These variations are due
to climate, vegetation, topography, and weather. People burning debris cause most wildfires in
Minnesota. However, wildfires are also caused by vehicle exhaust, sparks from trains and heavy
equipment, camping, smoking, and lightning.
Topography affects the movement of air and fire over the ground surface. The slope and shape of
terrain can change the rate of speed at which the fire travels. Weather affects the probability of wildfire
and has a significant effect on its behavior. Temperature, humidity and wind affect the severity and
duration of wildfires.
Homes threatened by wildfire are primarily those located in the “wildland-urban interface.” This is the
zone where homes and subdivisions have been in wildland areas where natural wildfires can have an
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 91
impact. While wildfires are necessary for healthy ecosystems, they burn whatever fuel is in their path,
whether vegetation or buildings.
One of the most common causes of a home being damaged or destroyed is due to radiant heat. In a
wildfire, radiant heat is the heat given off by burning vegetation. The high temperatures of some wildfires
can cause the deck, siding, or roof of a home to ignite, because the fire was too near the home. Studies
in western wildfires have shown that approximately 85% of homes surviving a major wildfire had 30-50
feet of defensible space around them, coupled with fire-resistant roofing.
Approximately 1,600 wildfires occurred each year in Minnesota on average from 1976-2011 (MN DNR,
2011). Wildfires occur throughout the spring, summer and fall, however, most wildfires in Minnesota
take place in March, April, and May. During this period, much of the existing vegetation has been killed
due to winter temperatures and is dead, brown and combustible. Also, there is little green vegetation to
serve as a barrier for a moving wildfire.
Wildfire History in Ramsey County
The Minnesota DNR responded to 13 wildfires in Ramsey County between 1985 and March of 2017, all
of which were human-caused, burning a total of 120 acres. These include fires not only on state lands,
but also rural private lands for which there is not another agency with primary responsibility. Wildfires
that are not included in this data are those that occur on federal lands and those that are responded to
by local fire departments. The largest fire burned 27 acres in 2008 in Vadnais Heights. Its cause was the
burning of piled debris. These fires are mapped in Figure 21.
The second largest fire occurred on April 6, 2000, burning 25 acres between North Oaks and White
Bear Lake. The cause of the fire was due to arson.
The only other notably large fire burned through 20 acres of Little Canada. The cause of the fire was
from arson as well.
According to MN DNR data, there are 6,366 acres of peat in Ramsey County. Peat is partially decayed
plant matter found in ancient bogs and swamps. Minnesota has approximately 6 million acres of peatland,
the highest total acreage in the contiguous United States. Peat fires are deep-rooted fires that burn
underground, lasting for weeks, months, or even years. They can smolder during winter months beneath
the snow, surfacing again in the spring to burn above ground. Peat ignites when its moisture content is
low, and then it supports combustion rather than flame. Once started, combustion is persistent because
peat contains oxygen and needs little or no outside oxygen to continue burning. Peat’s insulating
qualities mean the fire loses little heat. As the peat dries, it becomes water repellent. These factors
result in long-lasting fires that require extensive operations to extinguish. However, peat fires have not
been an issue in Ramsey County.
Wildfire has been ranked as a low hazard for the purposes of this plan.
Wildfire and Climate Change
Temperatures are predicted to rise in the state, which could lead to more extreme heat events and
associated wildfire risks. As Minnesota’s climate changes, weather fluctuations between drought and
extreme rain events and increasing temperatures will result in changes to forest composition and/or
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 92
distribution. These fluctuations can lead to dry conditions that may cause increased fire risk in both
grassland and forest environments.
Vulnerability
Jurisdictions in Ramsey County do not vary in their vulnerability to wildfires. The vulnerability of each
jurisdiction to wildfire has not changed due to any development in the last 5 years.

Fire Departments – There are 12 fire departments located in Ramsey County. Each department is
responsible for wildfires within their department boundaries; however, they often work together on
larger fires, including wildfires.
Mutual Aid Agreements – All the municipal fire departments in Ramsey County have mutual aid
agreements with each contiguous department that borders their respective fire district, including those
in adjoining counties. Written mutual aid agreements are on file with each city.
DNR Information and Training – DNR maintains current statewide map information on seasonal wildfire
risks, however, Ramsey County is primarily an urban area. Ramsey County Fire Departments do not
participate in DNR wildfire training.
Burning Permits/Restrictions – Burn permits are regulated by the fire departments in Ramsey County. An
actual permit may or may not be required, however, each jurisdiction has rules/regulations available to
all residents online.
Fire Prevention Week – Fire prevention is held annually each October. Most municipal fire departments
participate and provide an opportunity for citizens to learn fire safety.
Program Gaps or Deficiencies
Water Access – Not all areas of Ramsey County, particularly North Oaks, have good access to hydrants
for fighting fires. Fire districts need to continue addressing the need for dry hydrants and water access.
4.4.11 Landslides and Soil Erosion
Erosion is the wearing away of land, such as the loss of a riverbank, beach, shoreline, or dune material. It
is measured as the rate of change in the position or displacement of a riverbank or shoreline over a
period of time. Short-term erosion typically results from periodic natural events, such as flooding,
hurricanes, storm surges, and windstorms, but may be intensified by human activities. Long-term erosion
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 95
is a result of multi-year impacts such as repetitive flooding, wave action, sea level rise, sediment loss,
subsidence, and climate change. Death and injury are not typically associated with erosion; however,
major incidents of erosion, such as landslides, can destroy buildings and infrastructure (FEMA, 2013).
The movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope by the force of gravity is considered a
landslide. They occur when the slope or soil stability changes from stable to unstable, which may be
caused by earthquakes, storms, volcanic eruptions, erosion, fire, or additional human-induced activities.
Slopes greater than 10 degrees are more likely to slide, as are slopes where the height from the top of
the slope to its toe is greater than 40 feet. Slopes are also more likely to fail if vegetative cover is low
and/or soil water content is high. Potential impacts include environmental disturbance, property and
infrastructure damage, and injuries or fatalities (FEMA, 2013).
The river bluffs around the Twin Cities have a high risk of natural landslides in the spring, when ice
thaws within the bluff and destabilizes rock (Stanley, 2018).
Soil Erosion/Landslides History in Ramsey County
On April 28, 2018, an estimated 400,000 pounds of rock and soil came loose on the bluff to cover
Wabasha Street between Plato Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Street. After having an engineering firm
study the slope, city officials decided to build a 12-foot-high retaining wall that will run about 250 feet
along Wabasha Street. Ramsey County will receive $766,770 from the state’s disaster-assistance fund to
help with these repair costs (Stanley, 2018).
On May 22nd, 2013, two children were killed in a landslide in
Lilydale Regional Park along the Mississippi River. The incident was
preceded by several weeks of heavy rain, which inundated the soils
around the area (Figure 22). The children were part of a school
group looking for fossils. A group of four children were walking on
a path on the edge of a bluff when the path collapsed beneath them.
Two students died and another two were injured. Two firefighters
were also injured (Gottfried, 2013).
In 2011, a 20-foot boulder crashed through Bread, Coffee & Cake, a
bakery in St. Paul located beneath a bluff near the Wabasha caves,
south of downtown. When the owner arrived to bake on an April
morning at 2:30 a.m., the place was demolished and gas fumes
lingered. The city condemned the building (Jenkins, 2011).
Soil Erosion/Landslides and Climate Change
The increased magnitude and frequency of flooding events and
storm activity that may result from climate change may in turn increase the risk of soil erosion and
landslides. According to University of Washington geologist Dave Montgomery, “If the climate changes
in a way that we get a lot more rainfall you would expect to see a lot more landslides” (Phillips, 2014).
In Minnesota, the wettest days are getting wetter. This can contribute to increased erosion in many
locations due to flooding and saturation of soils. Reduced ice cover on lakes and shorelines (due to
Figure 22. Landslide in Lilydale in 2013
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 96
warmer temperatures) could potentially expose shorelines to increased erosion or damage during
weather events when they previously may have been covered with ice (National Climate Assessment
Development Advisory Committee, 2013).
According to the 2014 National Climate Assessment, “Increased precipitation intensity also increases
erosion, damaging ecosystems and increasing delivery of sediment and subsequent loss of reservoir
storage capacity” (Pryor, et al., 2014).
Vulnerability
Figure A - 27 in Appendix A maps soil erodibility in Ramsey County using the Soil Erodibility Factor (K-
Factor), which is a quantitative description of soil’s inherent erodibility, by measuring the susceptibility of
soil particles to shift due to rainfall and runoff. The Soil Erodibility Factor ranges in value from 0.02 to
0.69; however, all areas in Ramsey County are 0.37 or less. According to this model, the most erodible
areas in Ramsey County are primarily on the east side of the county and around Lauderdale.
The sandy river bluffs in Ramsey County suffer erosion regularly, and intense or frequent rains
exacerbate this issue. Waterways are prone to sediment pollution, threatening water and fish
populations.
The vulnerability of each jurisdiction to erosion and landslides has not changed due to any development
in the last 5 years.
Plans and Programs in Place
Ramsey Conservation District; watershed district plans – Ramsey Conservation District and five other
watershed districts coordinate erosion control efforts into their respective comprehensive planning
areas. These agencies coordinate and provide one-on-one assistance to landowners on several State and
Federal programs. These programs offer incentives and cost-share assistance to help landowners make
changes in their management practices to positively impact soil and water quality. Examples of assistance
provided to mitigate against erosion and water quality improvement include helping landowners learn
about and install measures such as raingardens, and shore land or habitat restoration, and stream or lake
bank stabilization.
Program Gaps or Deficiencies
Public Information & Education – Unsure of the reach of the efforts of the information and education on
the topics of erosion and water quality and what citizens can do about these problems. There is also a
lack of information on what plans are out there, what help is available and what they can do about
problems.
Communications – Everbridge’s open subscription service was made available to the public in September
2016 (https://www.ramseycounty.us/alerts). However, not all residents have subscribed to or follow our
Facebook page to receive important messages. Additionally, there are translation services for only three
languages (Spanish, Somali, and Hmong). There are over 100 identified languages spoken in Ramsey
County, and more than 50 are spoken preferentially in the home. Ramsey County Emergency
Management and Homeland Security will, in cooperation/coordination with other partners, place an
emphasis on increasing citizen subscription to Everbridge.

Vulnerable Areas – Identify and map areas that are susceptible to both natural and manmade landslides or
karst and develop plans or projects to place riprap or barriers where needed. Promote proper
construction development or use of retaining walls where needed.
4.4.12 Dam Failure
Dams are structures that retain or detain water behind a large barrier. When full or partially full, the
difference in elevation between the water above the dam and below create large amounts of potential
energy, allowing the chance for failure. Dams can fail due to either 1) water heights or flows above the
capacity for which the structure was designed; or 2) deficiencies in the structure such that it cannot hold
back the potential energy of the water. If a dam fails, issues of primary concern include loss of human
life/injury, downstream property damage, lifeline disruption (transportation routes and utility lines
required to maintain or protect life), and environmental damage. Dams require constant monitoring and
regular maintenance to insure their integrity.
Dam Failure History in Ramsey County
There have been no dam failures in Ramsey County in the past. There have been no known deaths,
injuries, or property damage from dam or levee failures in the County. The effects on life and property
in the area could be significant if a dam were to fail because of the nature of the built environment.
Table 26 below summarizes data on Ramsey County’s dams. They are also mapped in Figure 23. The
dams with Emergency Actions Plans are Lock and Dam no. 1, Battle Creek, Battle Creek Middle and
Battle Creek Upper. There are no levees in Ramsey County.

Dam Failure and Climate Change
Dams are designed based on assumptions about a river’s annual flow behavior that will determine the
volume of water behind the dam and flowing through the dam at any one time. Changes in weather
patterns due to climate change may change the expected flow pattern. It is conceivable that bigger
rainfalls at earlier times in the year could threaten a dam’s designed margin of safety, causing dam
operators to release greater volumes of water earlier in a storm cycle to maintain the required margins
of safety. Such early releases of increased volumes can increase flood potential downstream.
While climate change will not increase the probability of catastrophic dam failure, it may increase the
probability of design failures. Minnesota had a dam failure due to a large storm event in June 2012.
The Forebay canal in Carlton County had operated as designed for nearly 100 years. The intensity of the
2012 rain event caused a failure of the canal wall which caused significant damage. Climate change is
adding a new level of uncertainty that needs to be considered with respect to assumptions made during
dam construction.
Vulnerability
Areas most susceptible to the effects of dam failure are the populated places downstream from a dam
location. The vulnerability of each jurisdiction to dam failure has not changed due to any development in
the last 5 years.
Plans and Programs in Place
Ramsey County Emergency Operations Plan, Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan; Ramsey County Multijurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Plan, THIRA – Ramsey County maintains several different plans including an Emergency
Operations Plan, a Ramsey County COOP/COG Plan and the Ramsey County Multijurisdictional Hazard
Mitigation Plan, which are designed as guides for emergency and/or recovery operations. These plans are
intended to assist key county/municipal officials and emergency organizations to carry out their
responsibilities for the protection of life and property under a wide range of emergency conditions.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Dam Safety Program – For 30 years, the federal
government has used the National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) to protect Americans from dam failure.
The NDSP is a partnership of states, federal agencies, and other stakeholders that encourages individual
and community responsibility for dam safety. The NDSP is intended to help states bring the necessary
resources to bear on inspection, classification, and emergency planning for dam safety.
National Inventory of Dams (NID) – The NID is a database managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The
NID is used to track information on the nation’s water control infrastructure. Information from the NID
is used in the development of water resource management, land use management, floodplain
management, risk management, and emergency action planning.
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Division of Waters – Dam Safety Program – The Minnesota
DNR Dam Safety Program and current dam safety regulations require the safe design, construction,
operation, and maintenance of dams in Minnesota. The state program includes review of design plans
and plans for proposed dams, safety inspections of existing dams, and repair of dams. Saint Paul
Emergency Management has plans in place covering possible failure of the Ford Lock & Dam #1 located

at mile mark 848 on the Mississippi River. The Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District has plans
in place to cover the dam at Battle Creek in Maplewood.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has plans in place for terroristic acts
against the dams and flood control projects in the county.
Public Warning and Notification – In the event of emergencies or hazardous conditions that require timely
and targeted communication to the public, Ramsey County utilizes the Everbridge Mass Notification
System, the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA),
Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Facebook page, and local news media.
Ramsey County promotes the use of NOAA weather radios by critical facilities and the public to receive
information broadcast from the National Weather Service. Local television & radio stations assist with
sharing public information. Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center has recently upgraded
its siren system to be fully functional with the use of polygon-based warnings. Tornado warnings issued
by the National Weather Service will automatically sound sirens inside or very near the polygon.
Program Gaps or Deficiencies
Communications – Everbridge’s open subscription service was made available to the public in September
2016 (https://www.ramseycounty.us/alerts). However, not all residents have subscribed to or follow our
Facebook page to receive important messages. Additionally, there are translation services for only three

Vulnerable Populations – Review inundation mapping and identify both structures and the number of
people in the inundation zone and promote enrollment in Everbridge.
Vulnerable Dams – Work with county, municipal and DNR officials to identify deficient dams and be
informed for planning and development.

Section 5 – Mitigation Strategy
The goal of mitigation is to protect lives and reduce the future impacts of hazards including property
damage, disruption to local and regional economies, the amount of public and private funds spent to
assist with recovery, and to build disaster-resistant communities. Mitigation actions and projects should
be based on a well-constructed risk assessment, provided in Section 4 of this plan. Mitigation should be
an ongoing process adapting over time to accommodate a community’s needs.
5.1 Community Capability Assessment
The capability assessment identifies current activities used to mitigate hazards. The capability assessment
identifies the policies, regulations, procedures, programs and projects that contribute to the lessening of
disaster damages. The assessment also provides an evaluation of these capabilities to determine whether
the activities can be improved to more effectively reduce the impact of future hazards. The following
sections identify existing plans and mitigation capabilities within all the communities:
• Appendix J: Lists the plans and programs in place in Ramsey County as related to hazard
mitigation.
• Appendix K: As part of the Ramsey County MHMP update, the county, its cities, and townships
were asked to participate in filling out a “Local Mitigation Capabilities Assessment” (LMCA)
form to report on their current mitigation capabilities and program gaps. Appendix K lists the
LMCA reports gathered for Ramsey County.
5.1.1 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
The NFIP is a federal program created by Congress to mitigate future flood losses nationwide through
sound, community-enforced building and zoning ordinances and to provide access to affordable,
federally-backed flood insurance protection for property owners. The NFIP is designed to provide an
insurance alternative to disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings
and their contents caused by floods. Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local
communities and the federal government that states that if a community will adopt and enforce a
floodplain management ordinance to reduce future flood risks to new construction in Special Flood
Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the federal government will make flood insurance available within the community
as a financial protection against flood losses.
Table 27 below shows which jurisdictions in Ramsey County participate in the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP). Only the city of North Oaks does not participate in the NFIP. The only cities in the
county that do not have FEMA mapped high risk areas are Falcon Heights, Lauderdale and Saint Anthony
Village.

Repetitive loss properties are defined as properties that have had 2 or more flood insurance claims of
$1,000 or more in any rolling 10-year period. Property owners are asked to consider mitigation
activities such as acquisition, relocation, or elevation, among other options. FEMA’s Repetitive Loss (RL)
properties strategy is to eliminate or reduce the damage to property and the disruption to life caused by
repeated flooding of the same properties. Property owners are notified of their status by FEMA.
There are two repetitive loss properties in Ramsey County, both located in the City of Saint Paul. Four
losses have been recorded between the two properties, with an average payment of $10,610. None are
classified as “Severe Repetitive Loss” (SRL). An SRL property is defined as a residential property that is
covered under an NFIP flood insurance policy and:
• That has at least 4 NFIP claim payments (including building and contents) over $5,000 each, and
the cumulative amount of such claims payments exceeds $20,000; or
• For which at least 2 separate claims payments (building payments only) have been made with the
cumulative amount of the building portion of such claims exceeding the market value of the
building.
• For both (a) and (b) above, at least 2 of the referenced claims must have occurred within any
10-year period, and must be greater than 10 days apart.
For more on the areas that flood repeatedly in Ramsey County, see section 4.4.5 Flash Flood and Riverine
Flood.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 103
5.1.2 Plans and Ordinances
Ramsey County and its incorporated communities have many plans and ordinances in place to ensure
the safety of residents and the effective operation of communities, including a Comprehensive/Master
Plan, Continuity of Operations Plan, Emergency Operations Plan and Capital Improvements Plan. In
Section 4.4 of this plan (Hazard Profiles) a review of the plans and programs in place was included as
related to each of the hazards addressed in the plan. See Appendix J for a list of all plans and programs
in place in Ramsey County, and Appendix K for the local mitigation capabilities assessment reports.
5.2 Mitigation Goals
In Section 4.0 of this plan, the risk assessment identified Ramsey County as prone to several natural
hazards. The steering committee members understand that although hazards cannot be eliminated
altogether, Ramsey County can work toward building disaster-resistant communities.
The goals and strategies being developed for the 2019 Minnesota State Hazard Mitigation Plan for
natural hazards were adopted for use in the Ramsey County Plan (Table 28). This framework will allow
for integration of the mitigation actions that are listed by Ramsey County and its jurisdictions into the
state plan. The state will then be able to develop a statewide strategy that will benefit all of Minnesota.
Table 28. Goals that will be used in the 2019 Minnesota State Hazard Mitigation Plan
Flooding Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss and economic disruption
due to all types of flooding (riverine, flash flooding, dam/levee failure)
Wildfire Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, natural resource and
economic disruption due to wildfire (forest, prairie, grass, and peat bogs).
Windstorms Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic
disruption due to windstorms.
Severe Winter Storms Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and
economic disruption due to severe winter storms (blizzard, ice, and ice storm).
Lightning Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property losses, loss of services, and
economic disruption due to lightning.
Tornado Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic disruption
due to tornadoes.
Drought Goal: Reduce economic loss and environmental impacts due to
drought
Extreme Heat Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, and economic disruption due to
extreme heat.
Extreme Cold Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic
disruption due to extreme cold.
Landslide/Erosion Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic
disruption due to landslides and erosion.
5.3 Mitigation Actions and Project Strategies
The mitigation actions in this plan are summarized into 4 main strategy types, as described in the FEMA
publications Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (2013) and Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for Reducing Risk to
Natural Hazards (2013). Also included are the new FEMA Climate Resilient Mitigation Actions (CRMA)
released in 2016. Minnesota HSEM recommends the use of these mitigation strategies to be in alignment
with the state plan and those recommended by FEMA. A fifth strategy type was determined by
Minnesota HSEM for use within the state. They are listed in Table 29 below:

Table 29. Mitigation Strategies and Action Types
Mitigation
Strategy Description Example Mitigation Actions
Local Plans and
Regulations
These actions include government authorities,
policies, or codes, that influence the way land
and buildings are developed and built.
• Comprehensive plans
• Land use ordinances
• Planning and Zoning
• Building Codes and Enforcement
• Floodplain ordinance
• NFIP Community Rating System
• Capital improvement programs
• Open space preservation
• Shoreline codes
• Stormwater management
regulations and master plans
Structure and
Infrastructure
Projects
These actions involve modifying existing
structures and infrastructure to protect them
from a hazard or remove them from a hazard
area. This could apply to public or private
structures as well as critical facilities and
infrastructure.
This type of action also involves projects to
construct manmade structures to reduce the
impact of hazards.
Many of these types of actions are projects
eligible for funding through the FEMA Hazard
Mitigation Assistance program.
• Acquisitions and elevations of
structures in flood prone areas
• Utility undergrounding
• Structural retrofits
• Floodwalls and retaining walls
• Detention and retention
structures
• Culverts
• Safe rooms
Natural
Systems
Protection
These are actions that minimize damage and
losses and preserve or restore the functions
of natural systems.
• Sediment and erosion control
• Stream corridor restoration
• Forest management
• Conservation easements
• Wetland restoration and
preservation
Education and
Awareness
Programs
These are actions to inform and educate
citizens, elected officials, and property owners
about hazards and potential ways to mitigate
them. These actions may also include
participation in national programs, such as
StormReady or Firewise Communities.
Although this type of mitigation reduces risk
less directly than structural projects or
regulation, it is an important foundation. A
greater understanding and awareness of
hazards and risk among local officials,
stakeholders, and the public is more likely to
lead to direct actions.
• Radio or television spots
• Websites with maps and
information
• Real estate disclosure
• Presentations to school groups or
neighborhood organizations
• Mailings to residents in hazard-
prone areas.
• StormReady
• Firewise Communities

In the review and discussion of selected mitigation strategies and actions, steering committee members
and the public were asked to consider the ranking of mitigation actions by priority for implementation.
Table 30 provides criteria that were taken into consideration in the process.
5.3.1 Hazard Mitigation Actions
Ramsey County and its included municipalities share a common Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan and
worked closely to develop it. Local leaders worked together with the Ramsey County Emergency
Management Coordinator to ensure that the hazards and mitigation actions included in this plan are
accurate and addressed in their jurisdictions. The jurisdictions responsible for each action are Ramsey
County, Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Gem Lake, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View,
New Brighton, North Oaks, North Saint Paul, Roseville, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear
Lake.
Table 31 lists all mitigation actions for Ramsey County. Appendix G contains separate mitigation action
tables for each jurisdiction. Each of these mitigation action charts detail the hazard, the mitigation action
to address it, the priority ranking for implementation (1 = High Priority; 2 = Moderate Priority; 3 = Low
Priority, see Table 30), its current stage of implementation, the timeframe for implementation going
forward, the jurisdictions who have identified they will work to implement the action, the responsible
parties to carry through with implementation, and comments on how the plan will be implemented
through existing planning mechanisms and potential funding to make implementation happen.
Table 30. Criteria for Mitigation Action Ranking
Ranking Criteria

reliable, or are experimental.
• The State or Counties have little or no experience in implementing mitigation measures,
and/or no technical knowledge of them.
• Mitigation measures are ineligible under federal grant programs.
• There is a very limited range of mitigation measures for the hazard, usually only one
feasible alternative.
• The mitigation measure(s) have not been proven cost effective and are likely to be very
expensive compared to the magnitude of the hazard.
• The long-term effectiveness of the measure is not known, or is known to be relatively
poor.
Mitigation actions that have been completed or deleted from the 2012 Ramsey County Multi Hazard
Mitigation Plan are identified and reported on in Appendix H. Completed and deleted mitigation actions
are not carried over into the updated mitigation action chart.
In addition to ranking the hazard mitigation actions, the steering committee also reports on the status of
the mitigation action. Completed and deleted mitigation actions are denoted in Appendix H. Ongoing
mitigation actions from the initial review were incorporated into annual reviews by the mitigation team.
The status designations are:
• New – New actions that have been identified since the last plan
• Ongoing – Actions from the last plan that require continuing application
• In Progress – Actions from the last plan that are currently being acted upon
The mitigation types are defined as follows:
• Local Planning and Regulations
• Structure and Infrastructure Projects
• Natural Systems Protection
• Education and Awareness Programs
• Mitigation Preparedness and Response Support

in the Crestview Neighborhood of
Shoreview due to heavy rainfalls in
summer and fall of 2016. After
conversations with the resident
and follow-up with Ramsey-

5.3.2 Mitigation Actions by Community
This plan is a multi-jurisdictional plan that covers Ramsey County, its school districts and the cities of
Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Gem Lake, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View, New
Brighton, North Oaks, North Saint Paul, Roseville, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake.
Planning team members from each community participated directly in the development of local
mitigation action charts for implementation. The Ramsey County risks and mitigation activities identified
in this plan also incorporate the concerns and needs of townships and other entities participating in this
plan.
Mitigation actions are separated by jurisdiction in Appendix G.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 133
Section 6 – Plan Maintenance
6.1 Monitoring, Evaluation, and Updating the Plan
The Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) should be considered a living document. The
plan should be updated and approved by FEMA at a minimum of every 5 years. The guidance in this
section will function as the primary tool when reviewing progress on the implementation of the Ramsey
County MHMP.
The Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator is the individual responsible for leading all
efforts to monitor, evaluate and update the hazard mitigation plan within the 5-year window.
Throughout the 5-year planning cycle, the Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator will
work with the Ramsey County Emergency Management Committee (EMC) to monitor, review, evaluate
and update the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan. The EMC meets every other month and consists of
representatives from Ramsey County Emergency Management, Public Health, and other county
departments, as well as representatives from the cities of Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Gem Lake,
Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, North St. Paul,
Roseville, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake. Additional stakeholders will be added based
on need. If necessary, the Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator will convene the
committee to meet on a more regular basis to monitor plan implementation progress and reassess
needs and opportunities. This could be done in response to funding cycles of programs that provide
resources for hazard mitigation activities. If there is a need for a special meeting due to new
developments or a declared disaster occurring in the county, the committee will meet to update
pertinent mitigation strategies. Depending on Ramsey County opportunities and fiscal resources,
mitigation projects may be implemented independently by individual communities or through local
partnerships.
The committee will continue to review the MHMP goals and objectives to determine their relevance to
changing situations in Ramsey County. In addition, state and federal policies will be reviewed to ensure
they are addressing current and expected conditions. The committee will also review the risk
assessment portion of the plan to determine if this information should be updated or modified. The
parties responsible for the various implementation actions will report on the status of their projects,
and will include which implementation processes worked well, any difficulties encountered, how
coordination efforts are proceeding, and which strategies should be revised.
Updates or modifications to the MHMP during the 5-year planning process will require a public notice
and a meeting prior to submitting revisions to the individual jurisdictions for approval. The plan will be
updated via written changes, submissions as the committee deems appropriate and necessary, and as
approved by county commissioners.
Throughout the 5-year window of the plan, each respective county department and jurisdiction will be
required to report on the status of mitigation actions in their charts to the Ramsey County Emergency
Management Coordinator so that progress notes may be maintained for the next plan update.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 134
6.2 Implementation
Ramsey County and its included municipalities share a common Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan and work
together closely to develop, revise, and implement it. This MHMP provides a comprehensive chart of
mitigation actions for Ramsey County and its jurisdictions (see Section 5.3.1, Hazard Mitigation Actions).
The cities of Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Gem Lake, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds
View, New Brighton, North Oaks, North St. Paul, Roseville, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear
Lake participated in the MHMP planning process and identified the specific mitigation strategies that they
would seek to implement in their communities during the 5-year planning cycle. These mitigation actions
are provided in Appendix G: Mitigation Actions by Jurisdiction.
Several implementation tools are available to address hazards. Many of these tools are below, however,
in some cases additional discussion is needed to identify what strategies are most appropriate to use.
This will be part of an ongoing discussion as Ramsey County looks for opportunities for plan
implementation. The following tools will be considered:
Education: In many cases, education of residents has been identified as one of the most effective
mitigation strategies.
Capital Investments: Capital investments such as fire and ambulance equipment, sprinkler systems
and dry hydrants are tools that can limit risks and impacts of natural and man-made hazards.
Data Collection and Needs Assessments: Data collection and needs assessments can aid in gaining
a better understanding of threats and allow planning for mitigation strategies accordingly. As resources
are limited for this part of the planning process, additional data collection is likely to be an ongoing
activity as resources become available.
Coordination: Responsibilities for mitigation strategies run across various county departments, local
fire and ambulance departments, city and township governments, and a host of state and federal
agencies. Ongoing coordination is an important tool to ensure resources are used efficiently.
Coordination can also avoid duplication of efforts or prevent gaps that are created because of unclear
roles and responsibilities. The mitigation plan review process can function as a tool to have an ongoing
discussion of roles, responsibilities, and opportunities for coordination.
Regional Cooperation: Counties and public safety services providers throughout the Metro Region of
Minnesota often share similar challenges and concerns. In some cases, a regional approach may be
warranted as a mitigation strategy to save resources. Mutual aid agreements are a tool already in use for
many services. Needs assessments for fire and ambulance services and development of assistance for
volunteer recruiting, training, and retention could benefit from a regional approach. Cooperation among
counties could also help in lobbying for certain funding priorities that address concerns relating to
challenges in service delivery in rural areas. Organizations such as FEMA Region V and the MN
Department of HSEM through the Regional Program Coordinator can offer tools and resources to assist
in these cooperative efforts.
Regulation: Regulation is an important mitigation tool for Ramsey County. Regulation plays a
particularly important role for land use, access to structures and the protection of water resources and
public health.
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | 135
6.3 Continued Public Involvement
Continued public involvement is critical to the successful implementation of the Multi-Hazard Mitigation
Plan (MHMP). The Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator and the Emergency
Management Committee members from the participating jurisdictions of the cities of Arden Hills, Falcon
Heights, Gem Lake, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks,
North St. Paul, Roseville, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake continue to engage new
public stakeholders in planning discussions and project implementation during the 5-year cycle of this
plan.
In order to seek continued public participation after the plan has been approved and during the 5-year
window of implementation for this plan, the county will take the following measures:
• The plan will be posted on the Ramsey County Emergency Management website for the public
to read and provide feedback. Collected feedback will be reviewed and the plan will be amended
as necessary.
• Following any major storms or natural disasters, Ramsey County Emergency Management will
seek to gather concerns and new ideas for mitigation from residents to include in the next
update of the plan. This may be done through public meetings, outreach via social media (i.e.,
Department’s Facebook Page), or news releases via local media.
• Each city participating in the plan will be responsible to keep their city councils, city
departments, schools, and community members updated and engaged in the implementation of
their respective mitigation action charts (see Appendix G: Mitigation Actions by Jurisdiction). Each
respective jurisdiction will be required to report on the status of mitigation actions in their
charts to the Ramsey County Emergency Management Coordinator.
• Jurisdictions will use numerous means of public outreach to engage new public stakeholders in
providing input on mitigation efforts or concerns on hazards by sharing information at city
council meetings, sharing information at special events, working with local schools and partner
organizations, and posting information on relevant local or social media that their communities
use to inform and engage the public. As mitigation projects are implemented, jurisdictions will
work to keep the public updated and engaged in those local efforts.

In 2015, Ramsey County removed
seven buildings, including critical
infrastructure, from the Mississippi
River floodplain. A permanent

completed in November 2017.
Ramsey County remains owners
of these properties and will work
with the new developers and Saint
Paul Emergency Management to
provide technical assistance and

Past Mitigation Action Review
Status Report (2012-2017)
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | H - 2
Following is a report on the status of each of the mitigation actions that were included in the 2012 Ramsey
County multi-hazard mitigation plan. This report meets the following FEMA crosswalk requirement:
D2. Was the plan revised to reflect progress in local mitigation efforts? (44 CFR 201.6 (d)(3)
The plan must describe the status of hazard mitigation actions in the previous plan by identifying those that have
been completed or not completed. For actions that have not been completed, the plan must either describe whether
the action is no longer relevant or be included as part of the updated action plan.
COMPLETED
The following mitigation actions from the 2012 MHMP have been completed and will be
removed from the plan update.
(Flooding) Have sand bags available and manpower ready when a flood occurrence occurs in the cities
and townships located within Ramsey County. (Ramsey County has identified all county properties located
in or near the floodplain and has plans in place to protect those properties as needed. Ramsey County
continues to maintain plans to have inmates from the Ramsey County Correctional Center fill sandbags and
have public works deliver, place and/or provide just-in-time training to residents who need assistance.)
(All-Hazards) Continue to adopt updates from the International Building Code. Any code
revisions should be consistent with the efforts undertaken by multi-community organizations
of building department staff. (Building codes are developed, maintained and enforced at the
municipal level.)
(All-Hazards) Train building department staff on natural hazards aspects of the International
Building Code, regulation of mobile home installation, and the County water management
ordinance and its flood protection, wetland protection, erosion and sediment control and
best management practices provisions. (Building codes are developed, maintained and enforced at
the municipal level.)
(All-Hazards) Integrate GIS throughout all cities and townships and Ramsey County governments.
NOT COMPLETED (DELETE)
The following mitigation actions from the 2012 MHMP have been deemed as not relevant
and will be removed from the plan update.
(Wildfire) Protect people and property from the effects of wildfires by ensuring an adequate response
capability in Ramsey County and educating communities in becoming members of the MN Firewise
Program and National Firewise Program. (Ramsey County is considered an urban environment. EMHS has
reached out to local fire departments and they feel the Firewise program is primarily based on rural fire
prevention efforts and would not be applicable to an urban setting. Ramsey County fire departments all have
plans for permitting or regulating recreational fires based on Minnesota DNR recommendations.)
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | H - 3
(Wildfire) Improve the process for distributing and tracking burn permits. (Ramsey County does not issue
burn permits.)
(Wildfire) Work with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to develop state-level
and county-level burning regulations. (Ramsey County does not issue burn permits.)
(Wildfire) Stricter enforcement of countywide outdoor burning regulations from May through
October to prevent wildland fires. (Ramsey County does not issue burn permits.)
NOT COMPLETED (ONGOING/KEEP FOR PLAN UPDATE)
The following mitigation actions from the 2012 MHMP have not been completed, have
been deemed as still relevant and will be carried over into the plan update. Actions will be
revised as necessary.
(Flooding) Review and update the FEMA flood maps for Ramsey County and its cities and townships
to accurately map the actual flood plain and identify structures, both residential and commercial, not
already on the FEMA maps. (FEMA updated their mapping in June 2010. Ramsey County EMHS will review
these maps and work with Ramsey County GIS to identify appropriate structures within the floodplain
boundaries.)
(Flooding) Conduct a comprehensive public education campaign on flooding. (Ramsey County EMHS
provides regular postings to Facebook on prevention and preparedness to all hazards.)
(Flooding) Work with Ramsey County communities to ensure their enrollment in the National Flood
Insurance Program. (All municipalities except North Oaks are enrolled in NFIP.)
(Tornadoes) Encourage retrofitting of existing and future public schools with special high wind
resistant films for doors and windows. (This is the responsibility of the individual school districts within
Ramsey County. Ramsey County EMHS will continue to promote wind resistant building measures where
feasible.)
(Tornadoes) Provide advanced severe weather warning and to protect the residents and their
property from the effects of tornadoes in Ramsey County. (Ramsey County will begin the use of a mass
notification system available to all residents in Spring, 2018). NWS watches and warnings may be able to be
rebroadcast to subscribed users following a subscription campaign once rolled out to municipalities. Ramsey
County will also have the ability to provide polygon based warning information soon as well.)
(Tornadoes) Identify facilities throughout Ramsey County that need backup generators to provide
emergency power in case of power outages due to tornadoes/storms. (This is the responsibility of the
individual school districts within Ramsey County. Ramsey County EMHS will continue to promote wind resistant
building measures where feasible.)
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | H - 4
(Tornadoes) Identify community areas (parks, recreation areas) and facilities (schools, government
buildings) that are vulnerable to tornadoes and promote tornado safe rooms for each area or facility.
(This is the responsibility of the individual school districts within Ramsey County. Ramsey County EMHS will
continue to promote wind resistant building measures where feasible.)
(Tornadoes) Identify safe rooms at all schools, including new and retrofit installations.
(This is the responsibility of the individual school districts within Ramsey County. Ramsey County EMHS will
continue to promote safe room design into any new construction where feasible.)
(Tornadoes) Identify safe rooms or community shelters needed for mobile home parks, recreation /
open areas. (This is the responsibility of the mobile home park owners within Ramsey County. Ramsey County
has identified 14 trailer parks in 7 municipalities that have trailer parks. Of those 14, 12 have identified they
have shelters, one may have a shelter and one does not. Ramsey County EMHS will continue to promote safe
room development where feasible.)
(Tornadoes) Educate individual communities and county on tornado safety with open houses at local
police, sheriff, and fire departments. This would include the cities of Arden Hills, Blaine, Falcon
Heights, Gem Lake, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View, New Brighton, North
Oaks, North St. Paul, Roseville, Shoreview, St. Anthony, St. Paul, Spring Lake Park, Vadnais Heights,
and White Bear Lake. (Ramsey County EMHS provides regular postings to Facebook on prevention and
preparedness to all hazards. In addition, members of Ramsey County EMHS provide education information,
instruction or outreach to employees and residents of Ramsey County through open houses, training sessions
or classes as requested.)
(Tornadoes) Promote information and benefits of tie-down straps for mobile homes. (This appears to be
the responsibility of the municipalities and the mobile home owners as this looks to fall under local building codes.
Ramsey County EMHS will continue to promote safe room development where feasible.
https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/?id=1350.2500)
(Severe Summer Storms) Adequately warn and protect the people and property of Ramsey County
from the effects of thunderstorm winds and lightning. (Ramsey County will begin the use of a mass
notification system to all residents in Spring, 2018. NWS watches and warnings may be able to be
rebroadcast to subscribed users following a subscription campaign once rolled out to municipalities. Ramsey
County can provide polygon based warning information in spring 2018 as well.)
(Severe Summer Storms) Equip all county and city recreation parks, fair grounds, as well as outdoor
venue areas with adequate early severe weather warning devices and lightning detection devices.
(This will be based on the availability of funding and resources to purchase.)
(Severe Summer Storms) Update Get Ready Gopher public service announcement videos and provide
them to local schools for severe weather training. (Ramsey County Emergency Management and
Homeland Security provides regular postings to Facebook on prevention and preparedness to all hazards.)
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | H - 5
(Severe Summer Storms) Develop and distribute flyers by mail to citizens to promote and educate
citizens on severe summer storms issues to include the cities of Arden Hills, Blaine, Falcon Heights,
Gem Lake, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, North
St. Paul, Roseville, Shoreview, St. Anthony, St. Paul, Spring Lake Park, Vadnais Heights, and White Bear
Lake. (Ramsey County EMHS will use Facebook instead of doing mass mailing of literature.)
(Extreme Winter Storms) Conduct a public education outreach program on winter storms. (Ramsey
County Emergency Management and Homeland Security provides regular postings to Facebook on prevention
and preparedness to all hazards.)
(Extreme Winter Storms) Update Get Ready Gopher public service announcement videos and
provide them to local schools for severe weather training. (Ramsey County Emergency Management and
Homeland Security provides regular postings to Facebook on prevention and preparedness to all hazards.)
(Wildfire) Provide public education on the appropriate distance for tree and shrub clearance around
buildings to prevent them from catching fire as a wildfire approaches. (Ramsey County EMHS has done
an episode of Get Ready Gopher on wildfire hazards and will continue to promote education outreach on
wildfire preparedness.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBNpzLeP_Rw&list=UU1bAU8tHgsoGml2l2WNG4Jw&index=9)
(Wildfire) Provide public education on proper fuel storage techniques. (Ramsey County EMHS has done an
episode of Get Ready Gopher on wildfire hazards and will continue to promote education outreach on wildfire
preparedness.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBNpzLeP_Rw&list=UU1bAU8tHgsoGml2l2WNG4Jw&index=9)
(All-Hazards) Provide NIMS/ICS training to all incoming emergency response personnel throughout
Ramsey County. (Ramsey County EMHS continually provides opportunities for ICS training.)
(All-Hazards) Update notification and warning siren system in Ramsey County. (As of 2016, Ramsey
County is now IPAWS capable. Ramsey County will begin the use of a mass notification system to all residents
of Ramsey County in the Spring of 2018. NWS watches and warnings may be able to be rebroadcast to
subscribed users following a subscription campaign once it is rolled out to the public. Ramsey County ECC has
currently upgraded to match Saint Paul’s use of the Commander One siren system for suburban Ramsey
County. Ramsey County ECC funded and Federal Signal has completed a sound propagation study and a
complete inventory of siren systems in municipal Ramsey County. This information has been shared with all the
municipalities and those that own outdoor warning sirens are currently in the process of upgrading those sirens
that have been determined to need it. All upgrades are required to be completed prior to spring of 2018.)
(All-Hazards) Provide education and training to all City Mayors and Councils on emergency
preparedness (Public Safety) within Ramsey County. Ensure all city and county officials understand
their roles and responsibilities in the County in the incident of an emergency. (Ramsey County EMHS
made available to all municipalities MGT-312: Senior Officials Workshop for All-Hazards Preparedness on
3/31/2016. Ramsey County EMHS will continue to offer additional training as requested.)
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | H - 6
(All-Hazards) Ensure computer operations for city and county infrastructure. (Ramsey County Information
Services protects County information and technology resources through its information security program that
implements enterprise policies, processes, procedures and industry standards and practices. These controls are
intended to minimize information system vulnerabilities and threats and meet legal and regulatory requirements
for protecting data and systems. Ramsey County also employs a Chief Information Officer and a Chief
Information Security Officer. Ramsey County IS also participates in Secure360, which promotes comprehensive
security and risk management education in Information Security. Ramsey County EMHS led an effort to develop
county-wide COOP/COG plan that includes IS/IT services. Ramsey County IS participated in BOLDplanning web-
based program is used by all Ramsey County departments and BOLDplanning has been made available to all the
municipalities in Ramsey County.)
(All-Hazards) Identify access alternatives for neighborhoods with single access points. (Ramsey County
EMHS will work with local fire department on identifying areas of single access points and identifying access
alternatives.)
(All-Hazards) Work with local cable and radio providers to develop and broadcast public education
on emergency preparedness. (Ramsey County EMHS participates on the Integrated Warning Team that
partners with Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) to provide emergency messaging over cable, broadcast
television and social media – sometimes in alternative languages. Ramsey County EMHS also coordinates with
Comcast to display tornado warning information on electronic billboards in Ramsey County as needed.)
(All-Hazards) Evaluate critical facilities for exposure to damage from all hazards, especially high impact
hazards affecting Ramsey County. (This is an ongoing All-Hazards mitigation effort by Ramsey County
EMHS.)
(All-Hazards) Identify volunteers that should engage in disaster training and develop an all-hazards
disaster training curriculum. (Emergency Services Unit (ESU), Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT), have all received training. Just-in-Time training has also been developed.)
(All-Hazards) Evaluate current needs and Review Siren placement to ensure adequate coverage of
outdoor recreation areas. Acquire a new integrated activation system for sirens county-wide.
(Evaluation of siren propagation and inventory of needed equipment was completed in 2015. Replacement of
outdated sirens and upgrades to siren control system are currently underway and are expected to be
completed in the spring of 2018. Ramsey County EMHS, Ramsey County ECC and local municipalities will
work together to evaluate additions to the siren system with regards to future development.)
(All-Hazards) Evaluate and update activation system and install new sirens throughout Ramsey County
and the cities and townships to include fair grounds and outdoor venue areas. (Replacement of outdated
sirens and upgrades to siren control system are currently underway. Siren study conducted by Federal Signal at
the outset of the project shows that Maplewood siren 11, located at 1965 Manton Street, covers most the
Ramsey County Fairgrounds to a level equal to 70 decibels (db). Maplewood siren 12, located at 1530 East
County Road C, covers the Ramsey County Fairgrounds from the northwest to a level at or below 50db.
Maplewood siren #14, located at 1600 Myrtle Street, covers the Ramsey County Fairgrounds from the east-
southeast at a level equal to 60db. Any new sirens at any of these locations should meet or exceed these
existing decibel levels. Falcon Heights siren #3, located at 1845 Larpenteur Avenue, covers ~50% of the
Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2018
Page | H - 7
Minnesota State Fairgrounds to a level between 70db-80db and the other 50% between 60db-70db. In
addition, Saint Paul Emergency Management has one siren situated on state fair property with at least three
additional sirens situated near the fairgrounds that should provide at least 50db-60db into the fairgrounds.
No siren study was done or is available to RCEMHS for the Saint Paul sirens.)
(All-Hazards) Effectively communicate emergency preparedness information to all Ramsey County
residents (including, non-English speaking, special needs populations, day cares, etc.). (Ramsey County
EMHS participates on the Integrated Warning Team that partners with Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) to
provide emergency messaging over cable, broadcast television and social media – sometimes in alternative
languages. Ramsey County EMHS also coordinates with Comcast to display tornado warning information on
electronic billboards in Ramsey County as needed.)
(All-Hazards) Conduct public meetings to educate all citizens of Ramsey County on safety and
emergency preparedness including those with special needs, non-English speaking, day cares, etc.
(Ramsey County EMHS participates on the Integrated Warning Team that partners with Twin Cities Public

trail system that connects into Ramsey County’s trail system through Grass Lake and
surrounding open space.
3. In the past 5 years, has anything changed that you feel has increased your
community’s vulnerability to future severe weather or disaster events? The
weather/climate changes in the last 5 years, with an increase in moisture, pond levels and lake

4. What concerns do you have / what mitigation actions you think would help your
community to reduce or eliminate risk against future severe weather or disaster
events? Raising the elevation of the flood prone roadway and adding a trail along that roadway
will help alleviate road closures. Purchasing a home, when the homeowner is ready and willing,
and creating and open space for better drainage and water storage will reduce flooding and
potential property damage.

Appendix N: Technological Hazards
Technological hazards are distinct from natural hazards primarily in that they originate from human
activity. In contrast, while the risks presented by natural hazards may be increased or decreased as a
result of human activity, they are not inherently human-induced. The term “technological hazards”
refers to the origins of incidents that can arise from human activities such as the manufacturing,
transportation, storage, and use of hazardous materials.
Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security staff and subject matter experts
reviewed available data and current trends to continue to include technological hazards posing the
greatest threat to residents and property as part of this plan update. These hazards have a potential for
low to moderate occurrence but could have a high impact to the population.

Epidemics/Pandemics
Hazard Identification
An epidemic/pandemic incident is a plausible incident in Ramsey County. An epidemic, or widespread
outbreak of disease, is a danger to emergency responders, healthcare providers, and the public at large.
A pandemic is a global disease outbreak, impacting multiple regions or even continents.
Examples of epidemics H5N1, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), or the 2014 Ebola outbreak.
A biological incident without an available vaccine or treatment could result in an epidemic. Intentional
bioterrorism incidents are included in this identified hazard area.
Hazard Profile
Seasonal influenza comes to Ramsey County every winter, usually between October and March.
Influenza is a viral infection that is responsible for a substantial number of hospitalizations (sometimes
death) each year. Between 2012-2016, annual flu-related hospitalizations in Ramsey County varied
between 163 and 551 (Minnesota Department of Health, 2017). Continuous genetic changes in the flu
virus, called “antigenic drift,” means that people can get sick from a slightly different influenza virus each
year; last year’s flu shot does not prevent this year’s illness.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, is a respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus first
identified in Asia in February 2003. During 2003, SARS outbreaks were reported across multiple
continents (North America, South America, Europe, and Asia), eventually leading to the deaths of 773
TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Page | M - 2
people (CDC, 2004). Like influenza, SARS was transmitted primarily through contact with infected saliva
or mucus (respiratory droplets). Evidence suggested that the virus could linger on surfaces for hours
(similar to measles), enhancing risk of transmission.
MERS Co-V (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) appears less transmissible than SARS, but
continues to raise concerns for global outbreaks (pandemics). 798 MERS-associated deaths have
occurred since September 2012 (World Health Organization 2018). MERS Co-V has its origins as a
zoonotic virus, meaning transmission has been documented from animals (camels) to humans (again,
primarily through droplet exposure and close contact with someone who is already symptomatic).
Ebola disease is also caused by a zoonotic virus and is spread through direct contact with body fluids,
including blood. Between December 2013 and January 2016, an outbreak of Ebola caused the deaths of
11,310 individuals, primarily in West Africa (World Health Organization 2018).
Vulnerability Assessment
All populations within Ramsey County are susceptible to epidemic/pandemic events that occur in the
County.
Assets Exposed to Hazard
Property Risk/Vulnerability: All critical facilities as well as all public, private, and commercial
properties are susceptible to an epidemic, due to people being ill and unable to maintain the facilities
or their related services.
People Risk/Vulnerability: Risk/vulnerability includes the entire population of Ramsey County,
since there is no way to determine the impact/magnitude of an epidemic/pandemic and no perfect
way to predict which target group(s) will be the most susceptible to a novel virus. In addition to
sickness (morbidity) and death (mortality), the impact on human resources would be significant, with
the potential of approximately 40 percent of the workforce becoming ill. Ramsey County’s just-in-
time economy could suffer major setbacks in community infrastructure such as public water supply,
health care delivery, and energy resources.
Environment Risk/Vulnerability: Risks to the environment are low should an epidemic/pandemic
occur, unless a specific virus is transmissible among animal populations (agricultural production areas)
within the County.
Damage Assessment
Although epidemics/pandemics like polio and plague have largely been eradicated from the world, past
historical impacts on human health were devastating and any new infectious diseases could have health
emergency implications. SARS, H1N1, and Ebola all demonstrate that health emergencies are
unpredictable, can erupt quickly, and have significant impact on communities, including Ramsey County.
Land Use and Development Trends
As more people move into populated areas and population density increases, all of Ramsey County is
susceptible to outbreaks.

Multijurisdictional Concerns
No one area in Ramsey County is less susceptible than another from the effects of an
epidemic/pandemic. Of course, the more densely populated the area is, the greater threat of the spread
of the epidemic/pandemic.
Hazard Summary
Epidemics/pandemics pose a threat to all of Ramsey County. As part of a countywide effort, staff from
the St. Paul-Ramsey County Public Health Department participate in emergency preparedness planning,
drills, tabletop and functional exercises, and education and outreach. The Health Department conducts
this work with local, state, and federal government agencies as well as health care organizations, private
businesses, and individuals from the community.

Terrorism
Hazard Identification
Ramsey County is a densely populated county, home to the state capital and many federal buildings, thus
making it an attractive terrorist target. Additional analyses to further characterize the risks of this
hazard and the development of suitable mitigation action items will be conducted in the future based on
periodic reviews of this hazard mitigation plan and available resources.
Hazard Profile
Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as "The unlawful use of force and violence
against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any
segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." According to the Department of
Homeland Security terrorist tactics continue to evolve. Terrorists seek sophisticated means of attack,
including biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive weapons, and cyber attacks.
Vulnerability Assessment
Terrorist operations have occurred in Ramsey County since the last plan update. According to news
reports on January 17, 2018 a former Saint Catherine University student set nine fires in multiple
campus buildings. This former student claimed this was an act of Jihad and hoped people would get
killed, and would like to kill for al-Qaida. There has been federal charges of terrorism brought against
this individual.
The Minnesota Fusion Center noted Minnesota’s connection to terrorism over the last several years:
• Minnesota imagery appearing in al-Qaida’s “Path to Paradise” video series released on social
media.
• In February 2018 study, George Washington University (GWU) identified Minnesota as one
of three states with the highest proportional rates of terrorist recruitment and the highest
rates of travelers per capita.
• In September 2016 an assailant wore a private security officer uniform and stabbed nine
people at the Crossroads Center Mall in Saint Cloud, Minnesota at least partially motivated
by “radical Islamic groups” stated by former FBI Director James Comey.
In the United States, most terrorist incidents have involved small extremist groups using terrorism to
further a designated objective or obtain publicity for a cause. Bombings have been the most frequent
TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Page | M - 5
method of attack in the United States. Other possibilities include attacks against transportation facilities,
utilities, or other public services, or an incident involving chemical or biological materials.
The primary objectives of most terrorist groups include the following:
• Gain publicity.
• Stimulate loss of confidence in the government.
• Attract recruits.
• Get public support.
• Gain financial support, and ultimately weaken and overthrow the government.
Techniques used to gain an audience for their platform include hostage-taking, product-tampering,
criminal extortion, arson, sabotage, threats against individual family members, assassinations, kidnapping,
explosive bombings, and armed attacks. The most likely targets of these forms of terrorism are political
leaders, key military personnel, foreign missions, military facilities, corporate executives and facilities,
and celebrities. Unfortunately, the risk of terrorist acts exists in the state of Minnesota and cannot be
ruled out for Ramsey County. Terrorist attacks can take a wide variety of forms, ranging from a verbal
threat to sabotage to biological weapons to a bomb.
The most frequently used terrorist methods in the United States include, but are not limited to:
• Bombs, Guns, Edged Weapons, and Explosives. These are the “traditional” weapons used by
terrorists worldwide. Typically, these weapons are less technically and resource demanding.
• Biological Weapons. These weapons use infectious microbes or toxins to produce illness or
death in people, animals, or plants. Potential biological weapons include anthrax, botulism,
smallpox, viral hemorrhagic fevers, water safety threats (for example, cholera), and food safety
threats (for example, salmonella). Biological weapons are relatively difficult to cultivate and
disseminate.
• Chemical Weapons. Chemical weapons cause severe health reactions designed to incapacitate
or cause death. There is a wide array of potential chemical agents that could be used as
weapons. These agents vary in how their effects on the body, required dose, exposure
mechanism, length of exposure, toxicity, origination, and form (for example, liquid gas).
Examples of chemical agents include sarin, mustard agent, VX, and cyanide. The Twin Cities
metro area is one of 30 U.S. metropolitan areas participating in a federal early warning system
called BioWatch designed to quickly detect certain substances in the air.
• Radiological and Nuclear Weapons. Although there has been much speculation by media and
various governmental agencies regarding the potential for a terrorist to obtain fissionable
material or a nuclear bomb, there are no known unclassified cases of any such organization or
TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Page | M - 6
group actually obtaining weapons-grade material. Constructing a nuclear bomb would be
relatively difficult and require special resources, training, and materials.
• Vehicle Ramming. The use of a vehicle as a weapon is not new. Recent terrorist incidents have
shown this kind of attack to continue to be of interest to a terrorist. Attacks of this nature can
have a devastating impact in crowded places with low levels of visible security.
Assets Exposed to Hazard
• Property Risk/Vulnerability: All assets within Ramsey County are susceptible to being affected by
a terrorist incident. Ramsey County is also home to several labs that perform experiments and
test chemicals on animals. This increases the risk that animal activist groups may pose a threat
within the County. Typically, animal activist groups target property and infrastructure as
opposed to people.
• People Risk/Vulnerability: In evaluating vulnerability of the population in the County, it was
determined that risk/vulnerability includes the entire population of Ramsey County since there is
no way to determine the impact/magnitude of a terrorist incident and no way to predict where
and when a terrorist incident will occur. People are vulnerable to terrorist events through
physical injury or disease, power outages, effects on transportation routes, establishment of
shelters, effect of incident on mental state of the public, confidence of public in law enforcement
support, etc.
• Environment Risk/Vulnerability: Risks to the environment are high should a terrorist incident
occur but the frequency of terrorist events in Ramsey County are low. Environmental concerns
would be interruption or contamination of water or food supplies, secondary events such as
fires and hazardous materials accidents (such as gas pipelines rupturing, rupture of hazardous
material containers at facilities, etc.).

Hazard Summary
There has been one terrorism event in Ramsey County in the last five years, multiple attacks in different
areas of the United States remind us that terrorism is always a threat. Ramsey County officials work
with state and federal officials on domestic preparedness efforts, the details of which go beyond the
scope of this plan. The community should always remain vigilant to the threat of an attack, whether it is
via explosives, agriculture, or a cyber-attack.

Hazardous Materials Spills
Hazard Identification
Historical data from Ramsey County and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows incidents
involving hazardous materials spills in Ramsey County. Hazardous materials are substances that are
harmful to the health and safety of people and property. Hazardous materials spills often occur along
roadways, highways, and railways. Facilities that produce, process, or store hazardous materials are at
risk, as are facilities that treat or dispose of hazardous waste. Ramsey County is required by the State of
Minnesota to regulate generators of hazardous waste.
Hazard Profile
Hazardous materials spills occur frequently within the County but with minimal impact. However since
the last plan update, in August 2013, the North Suburban Hazardous Materials Response Team (NSHM)
responded to a hazardous materials transportation incident that spanned two counties, three cities, and
a school district. It included the chemical called Muruatic Acid where a truck leaking the chemical
located at 37th Ave NW/Highcrest adjacent to an elementary school with a vapor cloud and shelter in
place order.
Many of the hazardous materials incidents in the County are a household gas or carbon monoxide leak.
In the past five years, the Minnesota Duty Officer provided Ramsey County with 955 reports of
hazardous materials spills. According to the Minnesota State Fire Marshall’s Office report the following
Fire Departments responded to hazardous materials calls for assistance: Falcon Heights Fire Department
had 116 hazmat calls for assistance, Lake Johanna Fire Department 22 hazmat calls for assistance, Little
Canada Fire Department 22 hazmat calls for assistance, Little Canada Fire Department 22 hazmat calls
for assistance, Maplewood Fire Department 29 hazmat calls for assistance, New Brighton Fire
Department 264 hazmat calls for assistance, North St. Paul Fire Department 29 hazmat calls for
assistance, Roseville Fire Department 19 hazmat calls for assistance, Vadnais Heights Fire Departments
137 calls, and White Bear Lake Fire Department 373 hazmat calls for assistance. The NSHM, has
responded to 15 hazmat incidents of significance. It should also be noted that 22 facilities use anhydrous
ammonia for refrigeration in the area.
Ramsey County is also at risk to transportation related hazardous materials incidents. This is directly
attributable to the presence of multiple highways (Interstate 35E, 35W, 94, 494, 694; U.S. Hwy 10, 52,
61;, MN Hwy 5, 13, 36, 51, 96, 120, 149, 156, 280) running through portions of the County as well as
the several railroads that carry materials through the County.
TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Page | M - 9
Vulnerability Assessment
Ramsey County averages approximately 190 hazardous materials spills occurring in any given year.
Assets Exposed to Hazard
• Property Risk/Vulnerability: With multiple highway system, all critical facilities have the
possibility of being affected by a hazardous materials incident.
• People Risk/Vulnerability: In evaluating vulnerability of the population in Ramsey County, it
was determined that risk/vulnerability includes the entire population of the County since there
is no way to determine the impact/magnitude of a hazardous materials incident and no way to
predict where and when a hazardous materials incident will occur. People are vulnerable to
hazardous materials incidents through effects on transportation routes, establishment of
shelters, etc.
• Environment Risk/Vulnerability: Risks to the environment are high should a hazardous
materials accident occur. Environmental concerns would be interruption of water supply and
secondary events such as fires and hazardous materials accidents (such as gas pipelines
rupturing, rupture of hazardous material containers at facilities, etc.). When spills do occur,
whether inside or outside facilities or along roadways, shutdowns, lost time, and expended man-
hours are all factors mitigation planners must take into account.
Damage Assessment
It is difficult to determine the damage to the environment associated with hazardous materials spills.
Ramsey County has no recorded instances of critical facilities and/or other property being damaged as a
result of hazardous materials spills.
Land Use and Development Trends
Ramsey County currently has no land use or development trends related to hazardous materials spills.
Vulnerability
Hazardous Materials
Frequency of Occurrence Highly Likely
Warning Time None – Minimal
Geographic Extent Localized to Community-Wide

Multijurisdictional Concerns
All of Ramsey County is vulnerable to both fixed location and transportation-related hazardous
materials spills. The highways (Interstate 35E, 35W, 94, 494, 694; U.S. Hwy 10, 52, 61; MN Hwy 5, 13,
TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Page | M - 10
36, 51, 96, 120, 149, 156, and 280) are most vulnerable to transportation-related spills. Fixed location
spills are possible in all areas of the County.
Hazard Summary
Hazardous materials spills are a relatively common occurrence in Ramsey County. The volume of spills
experienced in the past dictates that mitigation measures be considered. The types of hazardous
materials passing through Ramsey County are many and varied. The presence of multiple highways with
an unknown quantity of hazardous materials traveling through the County on a daily basis poses a
challenge in the development of adequate mitigation measures. A current commodity flow study could
be conducted to ensure accurate planning data is obtained and updated every five years.
TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Page | M - 11
Energy/Fuel Shortage
Hazard Identification
Recent storm events in the past five years have identified the possibility of energy/fuel shortage for
Ramsey County. This is due to limited supplies coming into the area following an incident and therefore
causing fuel rations or the prioritization of fuel supply for both emergency services and residents of the
County. An energy/fuel shortage could also be due to damage to natural gas pipelines post-storm and
the need to shut down the pipelines for repairs.
Hazard Profile
There have been no energy/fuel shortages in the past in Ramsey County. However, in the last five years,
events have shown the potential is there for an interruption/shortage of fuel supply. In 2014 the Upper
Midwest felt the strain on natural gas supply and high fuel prices as it was a perfect storm of events.
Propane stocks were already low from the fall farm usage drying corn, pipeline outages in both
December and January occurred, and record-breaking cold in January. The U.S. Department of
Transportation issued emergency orders to extend truck driver time on the road for transport of the
commodity and propane retailers were rationing supplies to their customers.
Vulnerability Assessment
The probability of energy/fuel shortage is minimal. The low probability of an incident suggests that the
potential for impacts is minimal.
Information provided by Xcel Energy there are three types of risk that could occur in regards to a
natural gas constraints.
1) Physical interruption to infrastructure risk: This would likely have the most impact on a
customer or area. The most common cause is the accidental contact by someone digging near
natural gas infrastructure. In the winter, the amount of underground work is greatly reduced
due to the cost and effort required in Ramsey County’s climate. Typically such contact is limited
in scope and does not impact a large number of customers since the natural gas distribution
system has multiple pipes that service most of the areas.
2) Interstate Pipeline Transportation service interruption risk: Firm pipeline transport capacity
does not get curtailed or allocated unless there is a physical constraint (pipeline failure,
compressor failure) and pipelines plan to provide firm service 24/7/365. Interruptible pipeline
capacity does get curtailed, but only interruptible distribution customers rely on this service (i.e.
large distribution customers that have an alternate fuel they can use during a curtailment).
3) Supply interruption risk: As a distribution company Xcel Energy ensures that firm customers
have the resources they need for service under the harshest conditions. Interruptible customers
receive lower cost distribution charges in exchange for agreeing to switch to their alternate fuel.
To the extent that firm customers do not require the firm transport, then the interruptible
customers are able to use that capacity to continue using natural gas. Premium resources such
as LNG or LPG-air supplies are reserved for firm customers use during the peak periods of
demand on the distribution system.

Assets Exposed to Hazard
• Property Risk/Vulnerability: All critical facilities are considered as having the possibility of being
affected by an energy/fuel shortage.
• People Risk/Vulnerability: In evaluating vulnerability of the population in Ramsey County, it was
determined that risk/vulnerability includes the entire population of the County since there is no
way to determine the impact/magnitude of an energy/fuel shortage incident and no way to
predict where and when an energy/fuel shortage incident will occur. People are vulnerable to
energy/fuel shortage events through effects on transportation routes, pipelines being damage,
etc.
• Environment Risk/Vulnerability: Risks to the environment are low should an energy/fuel shortage

outside facilities or along roadways, shutdowns, lost time, and expended man-hours are all
factors mitigation planners must take into account.
Damage Assessment
Interruption of fuel supply to the County would have a detrimental effect on the County. The magnitude
of the interruption and the long-term expectations of the incident would determine the impact on both
emergency services and residents of Ramsey County.
Land Use and Development Trends
Ramsey County currently has no land use or development trends related to energy/fuel shortage.

Power Failure
Hazard Identification
A power outage is the loss of electricity supply to an area. Power failure can result from winter storms,
high winds, tornadoes, severe summer storms, energy shortages, damage to a power line or other part
of the distribution system, a short circuit, or the overloading of electricity mains. If lost entirely, a
power loss is referred to as a blackout. A brownout occurs when some power is retained but the
voltage level is below the minimum level specified for the system. Connexus Energy Co-op and Xcel
Energy provide electricity services to Ramsey County. Connexus Energy is Minnesota’s largest electric
cooperative, providing electricity to portions of Ramsey County and approximately 4, 000 customers.
Xcel Energy based in Minneapolis provides power to more than xxxxxx Ramsey County customers.
A power failure can last seconds, hours, and in some extreme cases days. Power failures are particularly
hazardous during winter months when they threaten the ability to heat a home or office, directly
impacting the health of its inhabitants. Extreme temperatures in summer months can be difficult to
manage if power outages impact air conditioning. Transportation routes are affected when traffic signals
are disrupted by power outages. Additionally, when power is restored surges can cause fires.
Hazard Profile
Power outages occur frequently in the residential and business areas of Ramsey County. These outages
have been due to winter storms, severe summer storms, transformer outages, and flooding. A
transformer blast in June 2018 cut power to 30,000 residents and a large portion of downtown St. Paul
where several county buildings were without power for several hours on a weekday morning.
Xcel Energy reports electric utilities measure themselves for reliability by applying two common matrix;
SAIDI (System Average Interruption Durations Index) and SAIFI (System Average Interruption
Frequency Index). The SAIDI index is determined by dividing the sum of all customer interruption
durations by the total number of customers served by the utility. For 2017, Northern States Power
(NSP-MN) measured 73 minutes, an improvement over the 2016 number of 93 minutes. SAIFI is
determined by dividing the total number of customer interruptions by the total number of customers
served. For 2017, NSP Minnesota’s storm normalized 0.72, an improvement of the 2016 number of 0.83.
Storms are normalized out of the data to reflect unusual events.
Vulnerability Assessment
Ramsey County averages approximately 6 power failures every year.
Assets Exposed to Hazard
• Property Risk/Vulnerability: All critical facilities have the possibility of being affected by a power
failure.
• People Risk/Vulnerability: In evaluating vulnerability of the population in Ramsey County, it was
determined that risk/vulnerability includes the entire population of the County since there is no

way to determine the impact/magnitude of a power failure and no way to predict where and
when a power failure will occur.
• Environment Risk/Vulnerability: Risks to the environment are minimal should a power failure
occur.
Land Use and Development Trends
With increased population trends can increase electricity consumption. This can potentially put
additional load strain on certain power regions.

Hazard Summary
Power failure’s greatest threat is disrupting the daily operations of business and government. The
economic effects of an outage impact the entire community. Preparing for power outages includes
storing alternative electricity sources such as flashlights in the home and generators in office buildings.
Xcel Energy’s Advanced Grid Intelligence and Security (Advanced Grid), is a long-term strategic initiative
that will improve power reliability, reduce power outages, make service smarter, integrate increasingly
clean energy onto the grid, and empower customers with more information to control and track their
energy use. Xcel Energy is currently working with regulators in Colorado on this initiative and
anticipates submitting a similar regulatory our Minnesota regulators. This multi-year investment plan
seeks will make our electrical system more resilient over the next 5 to 10 years.

Aircraft Accidents
Hazard Identification
Ramsey County is located in the flight pathway of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, St. Paul
Downtown Airport (Holman Field), Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field), and Benson Airport
making it vulnerable to the effects of aircraft accidents. Additional information regarding the Anoka-
Blaine Airport and Benson Airport are in operation for general aviation aircraft (private aircraft). The
Minnesota State Patrol, Minnesota Department of Transportation, and the Army National Guard
Aviation operates out of Holman Field. The Air National Guard operates out of the Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport.
Hazard Profile
According to the Federal Aviation Administration Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing
(ASIAS) database there has been a cumulative of only 10 aircraft accidents in the last five years at the
airports identified:
• According to the FAA Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has eight concrete runways
running 24 hours a day averaging 1,140 flights per day.
• St. Paul Downtown Airport (Holman Field) operates six asphalt runways averaging 182 flights a
day.
• Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field) operates four asphalt runways averaging 192 flights a
day.
• Benson Airport has two turf runways with no lights, only running during the day with 25 aircraft
based on the field and an average of 88 flights per week. It is mainly recreational planes using the
runways but also the Metro Mosquito control uses for their flights, Minnesota State patrol and
could be used for emergency purposes for helicopters or small airplanes.
Vulnerability Assessment
The probability of an aircraft accident is minimal. The low probability of an incident suggests that the
potential for impact is minimal. Based on historical records from the past 10 years, the probability of an
aircraft accident occurring in Ramsey County and the planning area is considered low.
Assets Exposed to Hazard
Property Risk/Vulnerability: It was determined that all critical facilities have the possibility of
being affected by an aircraft accident.
People Risk/Vulnerability: In evaluating vulnerability of the population in Ramsey County, it was
determined that risk/vulnerability includes the entire population of the County since there is no way
to determine the impact/magnitude of an aircraft accident and no way to predict where and when an
aircraft accident will occur. People are vulnerable to aircraft accident events due to the location of
the County to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport as well as additional air traffic from the
the St. Paul Downtown Airport (Holman Field), Anoka County-Blaine Airport, and the Benson
Airport.

Damage Assessment
An aircraft accident in the County could have a detrimental effect. The magnitude of the accident and
the long-term effects of the incident would determine the impact on both emergency services and
residents of Ramsey County.

Critical Facilities and Infrastructure Loss
Requirement 44 CFR 201.6(c) (2) (ii)(A)(B)
The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of the types and numbers of existing and future
buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the identified hazard area. (B) An estimate of
the potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures identified in … this section and a description of
the methodology used to prepare the estimate.
Hazard Identification
According to FEMA, critical facilities and infrastructure are those systems “whose incapacity or
destruction would have a debilitating impact on the defense or economic security of that community.”
These systems include the following seven general categories: fire and emergency services,
telecommunications infrastructure, hospitals, law enforcement, educational buildings, government
services, and public utilities.
Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security maintains a database for critical
facilities and infrastructure. Participating organizations provided the critical facilities and/or assets within
their communities. County Emergency Management identifies the structure value of all critical assets and
structures.
Hazard Profile
All facilities and infrastructure within Ramsey County are susceptible to natural and terrorist events.
Lightning and wind within the County can cause damage to facilities. The possibility of a fire within the
facilities could cause damage, as could flooding and hazardous materials incidents. Ramsey County
houses a number of facilities and infrastructure that should be highlighted. 40 percent of the state’s gross
domestic product passes through the Port of St. Paul. Ramsey County would likely be impacted by an
evacuation from both the Monticello Nuclear Power Plant in Monticello and the Prairie Island Nuclear
Generating Plant Red Wing, MN. In addition, the County is highly reliant on the City of St. Paul’s Water
Department for potable water. There are few redundancies in the system.

Damage Assessment
Ramsey County has recorded instances of critical facilities and/or other property being damaged as a
result of natural events such as wind and rain. Recently, in April 2018 the roof collapsed of the Ramsey
County owned Vadnais Sports Center due to large quantities of snow total cost of repair was
$4,602,067,500.00.
Land Use and Development Trends
Future development throughout the County will take into consideration possible all-hazard events.
Vulnerability
Critical Facilities and Infrastructure
Frequency of Occurrence Occasionally
Warning Time None – More than 12 hours
Geographic Extent Localized to County-wide
Potential Impact Negligible to Major
Multijurisdictional Concerns
All of the County is subject to events and therefore should be included in any prospective mitigation
projects.
Hazard Summary
Critical facilities in Ramsey County are susceptible to all hazards, including but not limited to flood;
wildfires; severe weather including tornadoes; terrorism; and energy shortages. The destruction of
critical facilities or outage of infrastructure can affect the entire community for a long period amount of
time. Mitigating against their loss is of the utmost importance for the continuing operational ability of the
County.

Civil Disturbance
Hazard Identification
Any incident that disrupts a community where intervention is required to maintain public safety is a civil
disturbance. Examples include rallies, demonstrations, riots, strikes, public nuisances, and criminal
activities.
Hazard Profile
Ramsey County includes the urban area of St. Paul. History shows that civil disturbances most often take
place in cities and are the result of socio-political issues or even the result of sporting events. There are
several large sporting arenas in the Twin Cities area and a win or significant loss may provide motivation
for a civil disturbance in the area. In the past, the County has experienced civil disturbances during
protests in the 1960s as well as during the 2008 Republican National Convention, and most recently July
2016 several hundred protesters marched onto Interstate 94, shutting down the main highway for
several hours and targeted officers with fireworks and bricks.
Assets Exposed to Hazard
All assets within the County are susceptible to being affected by a civil disturbance.
Damage Assessment
There are no recorded instances of damage to facilities as a result of civil disturbance.
Land Use and Development Trends
There are no land use and development trends related to civil disturbance.
Vulnerability
Civil Disturbance
Frequency of Occurrence Occasionally
Warning Time More than 12 hours
Geographic Extent Localized
Potential Impact Negligible to Moderate
Multijurisdictional Concerns
All of the County is subject to events and therefore should be included in any prospective mitigation
projects.
Hazard Summary
In the last three years Ramsey County mobile field force has been called out 35 times to situations
where law enforcement intervention was needed. With several sporting arenas and the many socio-
political demonstrations that may occur, the potential for a civil disturbance is high.

Drinking Water Contamination
Hazard Identification
Any incident that disrupts a community’s water system through introduction of point or non-point
source contaminants into the public groundwater or surface water supplies, treatment plants, storage
tanks, or distribution systems.
Hazard Profile
Threats to Ramsey County’s drinking water systems are increased as the population increases, new
contaminants of concern are identified, and aging infrastructure needs repair or replacement.
Lead: water systems throughout Ramsey County continually work to minimize lead exposure in
drinking water. The city of New Brighton had a lead action level exceedance in May 2018, when the city
was purchasing water from Minneapolis while the city’s treatment plant was under renovation to reduce
concentrations of 1,4-dioxane from the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) plume. Residents
in any community can help to reduce their exposure by using cold water only, running their tap prior to
use for 3-5 minutes if they have a lead service line (30-60 seconds if they don’t), identifying and removing
lead from home plumbing or service lines, and/or using a filter prior to use.
TCAAP Plume: New Brighton and Saint Anthony Village are served by wells that are affected by the
TCAAP groundwater plume, and treatment is provided to remove Trichloroethylene (TCE) and 1,4-
dioxane.
Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs): Regular monitoring is done to insure drinking water meets
federal SDWA water quality standards, but as analytical methods improve and/or new health
information is available, there will be other contaminants of concern.
Infrastructure: Most of the water system infrastructure in Ramsey County was initially constructed at
the same time development occurred (late 1800s-1980s). Water system Capital Improvement Programs
include water main replacements, storage rehabilitations, treatment plant updates, and telemetry
improvements. Maintaining infrastructure is key to preventing water main breaks, low pressure
incidents, storage deficiencies, chemical feed problems, and other emergencies.
Drinking Water Advisories (Boil Water, Do Not Drink, or Do Not Use): community public water
systems issue a drinking water advisory when there may be a risk of contamination. Blaine issued Boil
Water Advisories in January and February 2017, resulting from loss of pressure due to telemetry
problems between water storage and supply. The city acted quickly in notifying residents and
businesses, and they’ve shared their experience with other cities, resulting in others reviewing and
updating their own telemetry systems.
Disinfection: There are a few large cities in Minnesota that do not have permanent disinfection. It’s
recommended that cities with relatively large distribution systems regularly review the addition of
disinfection to prevent coliform detects (acute) versus the risk (chronic) associated with Disinfection
By-Products.

Assets Exposed to Hazard
All assets within the County can be susceptible to being part of a water contamination incident
(emergency or on-going). These assets include, but are not limited to, city wells and surface water
intakes, elevated and ground storage, treatment plants, water mains, and telemetry systems.
Damage Assessment
There are no reports of increased contamination levels in Ramsey County, and the number of Drinking
Water Advisories, water quality exceedances, and infrastructure deficiencies have not increased.
Land Use and Development Trends
Saint Paul Regional Water Services and the cities they serve use surface water and ground water as
sources, while the other cities in Ramsey County use ground water. Large-scale water supply systems
tend to rely on surface water resources such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Smaller systems tend to
use ground water pumped from wells that are drilled into aquifers, geologic formations that contain
water. Conservation by consumers (water efficient washing machines, low flow toilets, smart irrigation
controls, etc) may balance the increased demands from new development and land uses, with most
cities in Ramsey County beginning to see some reductions in demand.
Vulnerability
Water Contamination
Frequency of Occurrence Occasionally
Warning Time
Less than 1 hour from
detection (email notice)
Geographic Extent Localized
Potential Impact Negligible to Moderate
Multijurisdictional Concerns
All of the County is subject to incidents and therefore should be included in any prospective mitigation
projects. Lead is an issue that affects all consumers (there is no safe level), and treatment options for
lead can be done by individual residents: corrosion control and piping upgrades, automatic resin based
System with special medium for lead reduction, reverse osmosis- point of use only (small volumes),
distillation unit- point of use only (small volumes), carbon block filtration, or whole house multiple
barrier filtration.
Hazard Summary
There are no reports of drinking water contamination in Ramsey County that have resulted in reported
or confirmed illnesses.

Cyber Attack
Hazard Identification
Cyber attack is defined as malicious attempts to damage, disrupt or gain unauthorized access to
computer systems, networks or devices. Risks and vulnerabilities facing Ramsey County and critical
infrastructure is high and may impact its communities, businesses, and residents.
Hazard Profile
Within Ramsey County, threats to government systems through cyberspace, or cyber attacks, pose one
of the most serious economic and national security challenges of the 21st Century. According to
statistics provided by MN I.T. (Minnesota Information Technology) in which Ramsey County network
infrastructure uses internet services showed the state network obtained over 100,000 attempts to gain
unauthorized access to the firewall in a six-minute period.
Assets Exposed to Hazard
1. Sophisticated phishing of users leading to loss of credentials and breach of county data.
2. Unpatched software leads to vulnerabilities in the network.
3. Unclassified data being stored across the network. The top 2 exploits can be used to infiltrate
this data.
4. Ramsey County is not in compliance with cyber security requirements.
Damage Assessment
Ramsey County IS security determined on August 9, 2018 the county network received a cyberattack
which compromised about 30 employee email accounts of some 4,000 total staff at Ramsey County.
Land Use and Development Trends
There are no land use and development trends related to cyber attack.
Vulnerability
Cyber Attack
Frequency of Occurrence Occasionally
Warning Time More than 12 hours
Geographic Extent Localized
Potential Impact High
Multijurisdictional Concerns
All of Ramsey County is subject to cyber attack events and should be included in any projects to
improve or mitigate against network intrusion.
TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Page | M - 64
Hazard Summary
Within Ramsey County, threats to government systems through cyberspace, or cyber attacks, pose one
of the most serious economic and national security challenges of our time. There is a high probability
Ramsey County will face cyber attack each day.

Invasive Species
Hazard Identification
Invasive species are plants and animals that are not native to our region and may grow aggressively,
eventually changing the local habitat. The control of invasive species is difficult and expensive. They can
cause economic or environmental harm. The changes to our habitat created by invasive species
(disruptions to shade or tree canopy, for example) may have a significant impact on human health.
Hazard Profile
Within Ramsey County, there are terrestrial (land) invasive species and aquatic (water) invasive species.
In 2018, the primary land invasive species include European Buckthorn, Glossy Buckthorn, Garlic
Mustard, Reed Canarygrass, purple loosestrife, leafy spurge, spotted knapweed, smooth brome, and
earthworms (for additional updates, see www.eddmaps.org/midwest/).
The main water invasive species are zebra mussels and eurasian water milfoil (see the Minnesota Aquatic
Invasive Species Research Center for updates). These invasive species cause undesirable effects on native
plants, native animals, ecological processes, critical infrastructure, and our local economy (as they may
prevent people’s use and enjoyment of lakes, including fishing). Controlling these species varies, from
mechanical and chemical techniques to biological suppression. Ramsey County works with the
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to track and develop programs to minimize the impacts of
invasive species.
Assets Exposed to Hazard
The impacts of invasive species within Ramsey County are mainly localized to parks and natural areas,
including public and private land, as well as lakes, rivers, streams, and other bodies of water.
Damage Assessment
There are no recorded instances of damage to Ramsey County facilities as an immediate result of
invasive species. However, there is quite a bit of documentation around the long-term damage that
some invasive species, such as zebra mussels, may pose to water treatment facilities and other
infrastructure.
Land Use and Development Trends
There are no land use and development trends related to invasive species.

Invasive Species
Frequency of Occurrence Often
Warning Time More than 12 hours
Geographic Extent Localized
Potential Impact Negligible to Moderate
Multijurisdictional Concerns
Impacts of invasive species within Ramsey County are mainly localized to parks and wooded areas as
well as lakes, rivers, streams, and other bodies of water, but effects could continue to expand if not
mitigated.
Hazard Summary
There are a variety of invasive species that have been identified in Ramsey County and the State of
Minnesota. The county and state engage in programs and activities to reduce the spread and impact of
these invasive species. Ramsey County has a Cooperative Weed Management Area and coordinates
these efforts with other partners across the state.
