The decision to <br />focus on the hazards checked in the above table was based on research of historical events, <br />local knowledge, and the general priorities for <br />implementing mitigation-planning efforts. The State <br />of Minnesota Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies <br />Blizzards and Ice Storms individually. For the <br />purpose of this mitigation plan those hazards are <br />combined under Winter Weather. In addition, <br />Lightning, Windstorm and Hailstorm were <br />individually identified. As those hazards are almost <br />always encountered during thunderstorms, they are <br />combined in the thunderstorm category. Infectious <br />disease is a category that was re-categorized under <br />Epidemics/Pandemics, which also includes Vectors. <br />Water contamination is categorized under public <br />utilities and radiological is categorized under <br />Hazardous Materials. The hazards not included in <br />this plan are listed below along with explanations of <br />why they were not included. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part <br />201.6(c)(2)(i): The risk assessment shall <br />include a description of the type, location <br />and extent of all natural hazards that can <br />affect the jurisdiction. The plan shall <br />include information on previous <br />occurrences of hazard events and on the <br />probability of future hazard events <br />A. Does the plan include a description of <br />the types of all natural hazards that affect <br />the jurisdiction? If the hazard <br />identification omits (without explanation) <br />any hazards commonly recognized as <br />threats to the jurisdiction, this part of the <br />plan cannot receive a Satisfactory score.
