There are designated <br />Red Cross shelters and other facilities that are designated as shelters by municipalities and <br />Anoka County. The Hazard Mitigation Appendix included the identified shelters and their <br />characteristics. <br /> <br /> <br />5.1.6 Previously Implemented Mitigation Measures <br />The success of future mitigation efforts in a community can be gauged to some extent by its <br />ongoing or past efforts. Previously implemented mitigation measures indicate that there is, or <br />has been, a desire to reduce the effects of natural hazards, and the success of these projects <br />can be influential in building local government support for new mitigation efforts. Anoka County’s <br />previous mitigation efforts and programs include the following: <br /> <br /> Each jurisdiction in Anoka County supports a public works department and many <br />provide water and wastewater treatment facilities. <br /> Allina and North Medical provide emergency medical service throughout the <br />county. <br /> Law enforcement is provided for each municipality, either by the 10 municipal law <br />enforcement agencies, or by the Anoka County Sheriffs Office. <br /> Fire Protection and fire medical / rescue services are provided for each <br />municipality by one of 15 fire departments, with either all paid, a combination of <br />paid and volunteer, or all volunteer firefighters.
