Anoka County Multi- Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan • U.S. Department of Homeland Security National Response Plan (Base Plan and Appendices) • FEMA National Flood Insurance: Program Description • National Weather Service: Operations Present and Future • FEMA State and Local Mitigation Planning How -to Guides o Getting Started o Developing the Mitigation Plan o Integrating Human - Caused Hazards into Mitigation Planning o Bringing the Plan to Life • Minnesota One Call System Emergency Responder Handbook for Pipeline Emergencies • The Pipeline Group Emergency Response Manual • Local Community Emergency Action Plan for Hazardous Material Incidents These documents, on file at Anoka County Emergency Management Agency in electronic or hard copy format, provided valuable guidance in the planning process. Some served to acquaint committee members with the many roles of emergency management. Planning guides helped to tie together the phases of mitigation planning for committee members from a broad range of backgrounds outside mitigation and emergency management. State and federal response and homeland security documents were referenced to ensure Anoka County's goals supported these plans and promoted compliance with requirements. The State of Minnesota Hazard Mitigation Plan formed the basis for identifying and analyzing the natural hazards and man made hazards that could affect Anoka County and the participating jurisdictions. The Anoka County Emergency Operations Plan provided insight into the jurisdictional response to disasters and was used to develop and validate mitigation goals, objectives, and actions. In some cases, these documents identified areas for needed mitigation actions; for example, review of the Anoka County Emergency Evacuation Plan made clear the need for updating and expanding this plan, and goals /actions were written to mitigate this weakness. After review of the ordinances, regulations, and resolutions of each jurisdiction, the Legal and Regulatory Capabilities Summary Table at Section 5.1.3.1 was prepared. This summary made evident some jurisdictions lacked ordinances and regulations important to control hazards and reduce risk. •
