Summer weather hazards (e.g., extreme heat, severe storms) <br /> Winter weather hazards (e.g., blizzards, ice storms) <br /> Medium-Risk Hazards: <br /> Flooding <br /> Drought <br /> Hazardous materials incidents <br /> Infrastructure failure <br /> Human-caused hazards (e.g., cyberattacks, terrorism) <br /> Low-Risk Hazards: <br /> Geologic hazards (e.g., landslides, sinkholes) <br /> Dam/levee failure <br />The risk assessment also incorporated social vulnerability factors, highlighting the increased risks faced <br />by low-income populations, non-English speakers, elderly individuals, and people with disabilities. <br />Mitigation Strategy <br />The 2025 mitigation strategy builds on actions from the 2019 plan, with updates to reflect emerging <br />risks. Key actions include: <br /> Strengthening infrastructure resilience through flood mitigation projects, power grid <br />improvements, and stormwater management upgrades. <br /> Expanding emergency preparedness programs for vulnerable populations. <br /> Enhancing public alert systems and risk communication strategies. <br /> Integrating hazard mitigation into urban planning and land-use policies. <br /> Securing funding for resilience projects through federal, state, and local sources. <br />Each jurisdiction has committed to at least one new or ongoing mitigation action to address their <br />specific risks. <br />Plan Implementation & Maintenance <br />The plan outlines an implementation framework with: <br /> Annual monitoring and evaluation of progress. <br /> Integration with local planning mechanisms, including zoning laws and emergency response <br />plans. <br /> Continued public involvement through updates, community forums, and educational campaigns. <br />Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan III <br />Qbhf!273!pg!488 <br /> <br />
