Ramsey County │ Annex E: Recovery 8 This is especially important after high-impact disasters. The Recovery Task Force should consist of members of the community, the private sector, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), local governments, special districts, and state and federal agencies with roles in supporting recovery in the county. On a regularly scheduled basis, meetings will be convened with County department heads, key individuals, and representatives from recovery organizations, local governments, special districts, state, and federal agencies to make policy decisions collectively, and to obtain and disseminate information regarding recovery operations. Ramsey County departments will also be represented and responsible for certain functions throughout the recovery process. 3.2.2 STATE AND FEDERAL INTEGRATION Both the state and federal governments provide disaster assistance.
