<br />Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan 143 <br />Action <br />Number Jurisdiction <br />Mitigation Action <br />Name <br />What is the problem <br />the action is solving? How does the action solve the problem? <br />Is this a <br />continuing <br />action from <br />2019 plan? <br />Action <br />Status <br />69 All <br />Cultural Competency <br />Communication Audit <br />Hazard education, <br />outreach, and public <br />warning efforts in <br />Ramsey County may <br />not fully address the <br />diverse cultural, <br />linguistic, and <br />accessibility needs of <br />its population, leading <br />to ineffective <br />communication and <br />reduced preparedness <br />for certain <br />communities. <br />This action will assess current internal <br />communication methods to identify gaps in <br />cultural competency, especially regarding <br />hazard information dissemination. By <br />identifying barriers and recommending <br />inclusive communication practices, the <br />audit will help ensure that hazard messages <br />reach and resonate with all community <br />members. No New Action <br />70 All <br />Senior Hazard <br />Awareness and <br />Preparedness <br />Outreach <br />Seniors in Ramsey <br />County may be more <br />vulnerable to the <br />impacts of natural, <br />technological, and <br />human-caused <br />hazards due to <br />physical limitations, <br />limited access to <br />emergency <br />information, and <br />specific medical or <br />mobility needs. <br />Limited awareness or <br />preparedness could <br />heighten their risk in <br />disaster situations. <br />This action would deliver targeted <br />education and outreach to the senior <br />population, focusing on hazard awareness, <br />preparedness actions, and mitigation <br />strategies. This initiative includes <br />informational sessions, accessible <br />resources, and guidance on personal <br />preparedness actions, such as emergency <br />supply kits, evacuation plans, and home <br />adaptations to mitigate hazard risks.
