<br />Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan 3 <br />Each participating jurisdiction was asked to do the following: <br />• Attend at least one planning meeting. <br />• Provide an update on the status of mitigation actions identified for that community in the 2019 <br />plan. <br />• Provide an update on community capabilities. <br />• Identify at least one new or continuing hazard mitigation action in the updated 2025 hazard <br />mitigation strategy. <br />• Provide input throughout the process on plan elements. <br />• Support public participation in the process. <br />1.4.2 LOCAL PLANNING TEAM <br />To assist in the development of the plan update and provide guidance and community input on the <br />process, a Local Planning Team (LPT) was convened to serve as community representatives in the <br />process. A full list of LPT members is included in the Planning Process Appendix to this document. <br />1.4.3 PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH <br />Public engagement is a key component to the HMP’s success. Public outreach was accomplished both at <br />the beginning and the end of the process. An electronic survey regarding hazard mitigation was released <br />on June 24, 2024, utilizing the web-based Microsoft Forms survey tool. The survey was advertised by the <br />county and jurisdictions within. A full accounting of advertising for the public survey is included in the <br />Planning Process Appendix to this plan. <br />Efforts were made by Ramsey County and participating jurisdictions to focus on including traditionally <br />underserved populations (TUP) into the planning effort. Partnerships between the county, the <br />communities and TUPs were explored. Ramsey County is currently building in-roads with TUPs to ensure <br />that they can be a part of future planning processes. The plan was reviewed by a subject matter expert <br />in TUPs to identify ways in which the plan could be developed in a more inclusive manner, resulting in <br />substantive changes to the plan. <br />After completing the draft plan, it was opened for public review from DATE through DATE. The plan was <br />posted for online access, and a survey was developed to collect comments. Proofs of publication are <br />located in the Planning Process Appendix. Comments received were reviewed and integrated as <br />appropriate. <br />Stakeholders are the individuals, agencies, and jurisdictions that have a vested interest in the <br />recommendations of the HMP, including all planning partners. The planning process prioritized <br />extensive representation from regional, county and local areas. A detailed list of stakeholders was <br />compiled with the LPT’s assistance to ensure diverse perspectives. <br />1.4.4 PLANNING MEETINGS <br />Three large-group LPT planning meetings were held to support the planning process. All meetings were <br />held virtually, via Microsoft Teams. <br />Meeting #1 focused on introducing the planning process to the LPT and discussing reporting for <br />community capabilities and progress on 2019 HMP mitigation actions.
