protected in the safest and most effective way possible. Ramsey County has a comprehensive, all-hazards countywide Emergency Operations Plan. The county and its cities all use and are signatories on the same plan, which is approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA (http://www.fema.gov/) ). The City of Saint Paul maintains its own Emergency Operations Plan that coordinates with the county plan. Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan The Ramsey County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (PDF) identifies hazards in the county and how mitigation of those hazards is prioritized and coordinated. The Ramsey County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan was last updated in 2019 and is approved by FEMA. Emergency management reduces our community’s vulnerability to disasters and increases our ability to cope with them. Emergency management is often thought of as a cycle: Preparedness: planning, training, conducting drills and exercises, testing equipment and public education. Response: all of the actions immediately after a disaster taken to save lives, as well as activities to protect property and the environment from the effects of the disaster. Recovery: Returning a disaster-affected community to “normal” after a disaster, including financial recovery and rebuilding. Mitigation: reducing or removing disaster risks in the community. Homeland security (http://www.dhs.gov/) involves working with all aspects of public safety - from the federal level to individual community members - to ensure the most comprehensive and coordinated approach to the protection of public safety from acts of terrorism. It includes identification of possible threats, prevention, efforts to lessen potential impacts and preparation for events related to terrorism.
