Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 117 4.4.2 Critical Facilities and Infrastructure According to HSEM, critical facilities and infrastructure are those systems “whose incapacity or destruction would have a debilitating impact on the defense or economic security of that community.” These systems include the following eight general categories: telecommunications infrastructure; electrical power systems; gas and oil facilities; banking and finance institutions; transportation networks; water supply systems; government services; and emergency services. Anoka County does not maintain an active database for critical facilities and infrastructure, although it has begun to build one through its development of GIS capabilities. All participating municipalities provided the critical facilities and or assets within their communities. Anoka County Emergency management then combined the local jurisdiction information with the county information to identify all critical assets and structures. This information was provided to the County’s Information Technology Department which generated the value information from tax records and other sources. The content value was estimated using the following average percentages. The structure value was used as the basis.  Residential=20%  Agriculture=30%  Government=40%  Commercial/Industrial=50% For security purposes the detailed tables are located in Appendix B and contain the asset name or description, the type of facility/asset, time open, capacity, square footage, structure and content value. In addition the following information is provided.  In Hazard defines whether the facility is within a hazard such as a Flood Plain, within a 3-mile radius of a major chemical facility, in the path of Dam Waters, within a 5-mile radius of a nuclear facility, etc.  Economic Asset defines whether the asset or facility produces significant revenue for the jurisdiction or the loss of the facility would have a significant negative economic impact on the jurisdiction.  Historic Asset defines whether or not the asset or its contents is of significant historic value to the jurisdiction.  Construction defines the material the facility is constructed of: B=Block or Brick, C=Concrete, M=Metal and W=Wood. Only the predominant material is listed.  Emergency Generator identifies if the facility has alternate stand-a-lone power capability. The table below is a summary table that is extracted from the detailed tables in Appendix B and specifically lists the number of potentially at-risk buildings or facilities type, based on the GIS Multi-hazard Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(ii)(A): The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of the types and numbers of existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the identified hazard area FMA Requirement §78.5(b): Description of the existing flood hazard and identification of the flood risk, including estimates of the number and type of structures at risk, repetitive loss properties. A. Does the plan describe vulnerability in terms of the types and numbers of existing buildings (including repetitive loss structures), infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the identified hazard areas
