Review Regular City Council Meeting Agenda of July 22, 2019 – 15 16 Consent Agenda – Expenditures – Council Member Stoesz asked if the can receptacle at 17 Fire Station #1 is producing revenue. Public Services Director DeGardner said it is very 18 slowly bringing in revenue. 19 20 Item 5A – Reject Bids for Well House No. 1 Rehab – City Engineer reviewed the 21 elements of the rehab project. Bids came in higher than the budgeted amount so staff is 22 recommending that the bids be rejected for city budget considerations and to put together 23 a bid process for next year. 24 25 Item 6A – Water Tower No 3 Project – City Engineer Hankee explained that this project 26 is ready to move forward for bids. 27 28 Council Member Stoesz asked about the possibility of lighting the City logo/name on the 29 water tower as part of this project? Ms. Hankee said the council could still move forward 30 tonight and add that element along the way. Community Development Director 31 Grochala remarked that this tower will be located in a residential area so light may be 32 invasive; the other water towers may be better choices if the council is interested in 33 lighting. The council asked staff to investigate the possibility and report back (including 34 locations where lighting is being used). 35 36 2. Pledge of Allegiance Discussion - Mayor Reinert noted that the City Code includes 37 some language but only within the “order of business” section. He thinks it might be a 38 good idea to better define the council’s intent. 39 40 The council directed staff to put together a resolution that better defines the language of 41 the Pledge, includes the advisory board and enforcing the council’s intent. 42 43 Economic Development Authority (EDA) meeting – Community Development 44 Director Grochala reviewed the proposed actions and updated the council on the current 45 CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION July 22, 2019 DRAFT 2 figures (term of tax increment and valuation information). He added that Lyngblomsten 46 has signed off on everything. 47 48 Not on agenda – Council Member Stoesz asked if the City should consider rain-out plans 49 for Blue Heron Days. Public Services Director DeGardner noted his concern with any 50 planned delay over 30 minutes – logistically it doesn’t work out (i.e. noting defined time 51 the roadway can be closed, public works employee overtime). 52 53 The meeting was adjourned at 6:23 p.m. 54 55 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on 56 August 12, 2019. 57 58 59 60 61 Julianne Bartell, City Clerk Jeff Reinert, Mayor 62 63 COUNCIL MINUTES July 22, 2019 DRAFT 1 CITY OF LINO LAKES 1 MINUTES 2 3 DATE : July 22, 2019 4 TIME STARTED : 6:30 p.m. 5 TIME ENDED : 6:55 p.m. 6 MEMBERS PRESENT : Council Member Rafferty, Maher, 7 Manthey, Stoesz and Mayor Reinert 8 MEMBERS ABSENT : 9 10 Staff members present: City Administrator Jeff Karlson; Community Development Director Michael 11 Grochala; Director of Public Safety John Swenson; City Engineer Diane Hankee; and City Clerk Julie 12 Bartell 13 14 PUBLIC COMMENT 15 16 No one was present to address the council regarding a matter not on the agenda. 17 18 SETTING THE AGENDA 19 20 The agenda was approved as presented. 21 22 SPECIAL PRESENTATION 23 24 Lino Lakes Ambassadors – Update on Activities and Introduction of Candidates 25 26 CONSENT AGENDA 27 28 Council Member Maher moved to approve the Consent Agenda, Items 1A through 1G, as presented. 29 Council Member Stoesz seconded the motion.

Some comments as follows: 27 28 Mayor and Council – increase to enhance employee appreciation program. The council 29 received additional information from Director Swenson on turnover/recruitment in the 30 public safety division. 31 32 Administration – Contracted Services – The administrator and council discussed the 33 benefits of an annual subscription to NeoGov Recruitment. Savings to the City would be 34 in the form of employee time saved. 35 36 Finance, Consultants – there was discussion regarding MetroInet; the Finance Director 37 pointed out the value of the services and Mayor Reinert noted that the City should look 38 ahead to a time when the current leadership at MetroInet could change. Public Safety 39 Director Swenson noted that the organization is doing succession planning and added that 40 any services provided to public safety must be FBI compliant. Council Member Stoesz 41 remarked that the City’s access points will have to be replaced 2020 or 2021 based on 42 new technology; Ms. Cotton remarked that the City recently replaced access points so a 43 schedule for the next upgrade would be a discussion point. 44 45 CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION July 29, 2019 DRAFT 2 Police, Capital Outlay – Purchase of computers/equipment for police department was 46 discussed; how equipment is used, where it is used and need for separate account. Staff 47 will continue perform analysis to make sure that copier purchase vs. leasing making 48 sense. 49 50 Fleet, Fuels – Director DeGardner noted his estimate of increased fuel costs in 2020. 51 Council Member Stoesz discussed the possibility of changing to private sources and Mr. 52 DeGardner explained the benefit to the City of utilizing its current private fueling system 53 with the discount it provides; when that system needs replacement, it would be smart to 54 discuss other options. 55 56 Government Buildings – The Mayor noted that costs are decreasing. The city hall 57 complex building has been well managed and staff aspires to continue the good 58 maintenance. 59 60 Council Member Maher asked staff to email her list of the chemicals used in the City’s 61 water and the percentages. All council members will receive the information. 62 63 There was a high level discussion on capital equipment replacement (Pages 74 & 75). 64 Director Swenson said staff is interested in discussing timing of purchases. Currently 65 staff cannot order until bonds are approved by the council and this year and others it has 66 left the City at the back of the line for orders. The proposed process would put the City 67 at the front of the order line by allowing staff to move on the certificates once the council 68 approves the preliminary budget. Mayor Reinert remarked that the timing would still 69 have the ordering begin after the budget drilldown so he’s okay with that change. Ms. 70 Cotton explained that capital equipment certificates have to be tied to actual purchases. 71 72 Also discussed at a high level was the 2019-2020 Utilities Department – CIP Purchases 73 (Page 120). Director DeGardner noted the purchases proposed for 2020 and asked 74 Utilities Supervisor Justin Williams to review them. Based on capital purchases that are 75 planned and scheduled, staff is proposing the possibility of replacing one truck and 76 purchasing the mounted jetter in 2019 when there are no other capital expenditures. 77 Mayor Reinert asked how often the City would use the jetter. Mr. Williams said they 78 would strive to meet an annual goal of about 20 miles (realistically they are getting a lot 79 less than that now) but would also like to have the unit available for emergencies (one 80 incident could conceivably pay for the machine). Council Member Stoesz asked about 81 the benefit of going to a trailer based unit. Mr. Williams said the equipment requested 82 matches the personnel they have that could put it to use. 83 84 Council Member Stoesz asked about the possibility of requiring new home construction 85 to have “smart” water meters that transmit information directly through an antenna (rather 86 than drive-by). Utilities Supervisor Williams explained that technology and the many 87 things that can be done with it but also explained that the City isn’t in a place where it 88 could take advantage of all the technology. Mayor Reinert expressed concern about the 89 CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION July 29, 2019 DRAFT 3 impact of adding more requirements to builders and the cost impact to buyers. Staff was 90 directed to look at the possibility and report back. 91 92 Council Member Manthey remarked that the electronic sign in front of City Hall hasn’t 93 been working for some time; what’s the status of that device? Community Development 94 Director Grochala reviewed work underway to partner with the YMCA on a non-95 electronic sign that will be more modern and serve as a gateway to the civic property. 96 Mayor Reinert noted his continued interest in having welcoming signs at entrances to the 97 City. 98 99 Finance Director Cotton indicated that she will report at the next budget discussion with 100 information on the current year’s finances. 101 102 Council Member Maher remarked that, looking at current expenditures in funds in 2019, 103 it looks as if many are well below the half way mark that would seem appropriate for this 104 time of year. Staff pointed out factors that can delay expenditure of funds such as 105 lagging in invoicing. 106 107 The council scheduled the next budget meeting – August 12, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. 108 109 The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m. 110 111 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on 112 August 12, 2019. 113 114 115 116 117 Julianne Bartell, City Clerk Jeff Reinert, Mayor 118 119 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 1F STAFF ORIGINATOR: Lisa Hogstad-Osterhues, Deputy City Clerk MEETING DATE: August 12, 2019 TOPIC Consider Resolution No. 19-99, Authorizing issuance of a Temporary On-Sale Intoxicating/3.2 malt Beverage Permit for The Tavern on Main – Blue Heron Days Festival VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION City Code Chapter 301 has been amended to allow consumption or use of 3.2 malt liquor in a public park or public grounds in designated areas approved by the City Council.

The purpose of these regulations is to protect the health, safety and welfare of citizens by regulating time, place and manner of conduct by establishing permit requirements. The City charges a fee of $50 for a special event permit as well as a $50 fee for a 1-4 Day Temporary Liquor License. BACKGROUND The City has received an application from Hammerheart Brewing Company to hold a special event on September 7th 2019, and an application for a 1-4 day temporary liquor permit which allows service of alcoholic beverages outside during that special event.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 4A STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Swenson, Public Safety Director MEETING DATE: August 12, 2019 TOPIC: Resolution 19-100 Adopting Anoka County 2019 All Hazard Mitigation Plan VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION The City of Lino Lakes approved participation in the Anoka County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan process in 2003, which led to the FEMA approval of the county-wide plan in 2007. The plan must be reviewed, updated, and re-approved. BACKGROUND The City of Lino Lakes has historically worked with other cities in Anoka County, as well as the county itself, in addressing the needs that present themselves when disaster strikes. In 2003, the city passed a resolution entering into a formal All Hazard Mitigation Planning with Anoka County. The purpose of the All Hazard Mitigation Plan are: • To involve members of the county, cities, townships, public, private, and other agencies to draft and adopt an action plan that serves as the blueprint for future development and preparedness activities across the county. • To identify the possible risks and hazards that may affect Anoka County through systematic hazard identification and risk assessment process. • To prioritize loss reduction and emergency preparedness activities for disasters. • To determine areas within Anoka County that may be vulnerable to various hazards. • To develop strategies and the best practices to avoid and mitigate the impact of hazards. In 2007, a plan was officially approved and has since been reviewed and updated by all those entities involved. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) requires this plan to be reviewed. One of the steps in this approval is that each of the participating cities must re-approve their involvement in the plan. In order for a city to receive federal disaster assistance, they must have an approved All-Hazard Mitigation plan. By adopting the Anoka County 2019 All Hazard Plan, we will have met this federal requirement. This is also a requirement for the City of Lino Lakes to be eligible for various FEMA grants that may come up that would be utilized for mitigation projects. Approval to participate in the ongoing plan does not restrict the city from developing one independently, nor does it prevent the city from applying for grants independent of other Anoka County government entities. Approval of the plan provides an avenue to define strategies and resources to address the effects of a disaster, and it is drafted and designed with the agencies and personnel we would most likely utilize in the event a disaster strikes Lino Lakes. Attached to this report is the 2019 All Hazards Plan along with the Appendix. RECOMMENDATION Approve the Resolution 19-100 adopting the Anoka County 2019 All-Hazard Mitigation Plan. ATTACHMENTS Anoka County 2019 All Hazard Mitigation Plan Anoka County 2019 All Hazard Mitigation Plan - Appendix CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 19-100 ADOPTING ANOKA COUNTY 2019 MULTI - JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes has participated in the hazard mitigation planning process as established under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000; and WHEREAS, the Act establishes a framework for the development of a multi-jurisdictional County Hazard Mitigation Plan; and WHEREAS, the Act as part of the planning process requires public involvement and local coordination among neighboring local units of government and businesses; and WHEREAS, the Anoka County Plan includes a risk assessment including past hazards, hazards that threaten the County, an estimate of structures at risk, a general description of land uses and development trends; and WHEREAS, the Anoka County Plan includes a maintenance or implementation process including plan updates, integration of the plan into other planning documents and how Anoka County will maintain public participation and coordination; and WHEREAS, the Plan has been shared with the Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for review and comment; and WHEREAS, the Anoka County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan will make the county and participating jurisdictions eligible to receive FEMA hazard mitigation assistance grants; and WHEREAS, this is a multi-jurisdictional Plan and cities that participated in the planning process may choose to also adopt the County Plan.

Hazards Mitigation Plan 1 0BSECTION 1: PLAN INTRODUCTION This section provides a general introduction to the Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan. It consists of the following: • Overview • Emergency Management Background • Hazard Mitigation Legislative Background • Plan Purpose • Plan Scope • Plan Authority • Plan Outline 7B1.1 Overview Anoka County has and may in the future experience a variety of natural and manmade hazards that cause loss of life and damage to property. Anoka County Emergency Management has prepared a countywide hazard mitigation plan that re-shapes Anoka County and local communities into a more resilient framework, enabling it to recover more quickly and easily from disasters. Using this plan, Anoka County and the local jurisdictions will decrease the community’s vulnerability to disasters and enhance response to disasters and public threats. The plan provides a framework on which to base comprehensive mitigation of hazards for all Anoka County political jurisdictions. Risk management tools were used to prioritize and identify vulnerabilities to hazards. The overall hazard analysis determines which areas of the community are affected by hazards, how likely it is that a disaster may occur, and what impact a disaster might have. By assessing the vulnerability countywide, it can be determined which government and private facilities are at risk and to what degree they may be impacted. Natural and manmade hazards pose a threat to every citizen and community within Anoka County on some level and frequency. Often, the reality of potential hazards to a community are not fully understood or realized until a major disaster occurs. It is then that a community experiences the extreme hardship of significant human and economic losses. The process of all-hazard mitigation planning is the first step toward protecting a community from losses associated with hazards and resulting disasters. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regarding hazard mitigation planning provides the following definitions: • Hazard mitigation - Any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long- term risk to human life and property from hazards. • Planning - The act or process of making or carrying out plans, specifically, the establishment of goals, policies, and procedures for a social or economic unit. The process of hazard mitigation planning is a critical part of any community’s planning program. Because most hazards occur infrequently, mitigation programs for hazards are usually initiated and funded as a reaction to recover from the most recent disaster event. This form of hazard mitigation response is typically costlier, both in property and human losses, on a long- term basis, than is pre-disaster planning and mitigation. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 2 8B1.2 Emergency Management Background Over the past fifty years, the meaning and scope of homeland security and emergency management has significantly evolved in response to changes in political, military, and natural environments. Emergency management has grown from a narrow civil defense focus, to its present position of providing a wide array of services in response to natural and manmade hazards, including aspects of homeland security. This evolution has resulted in a shift from federal based initiatives to one of fostering both local and state developed and delivered programs. Within this framework, local emergency management organizations work to implement local, state, and federal emergency management and homeland security policy. By working collaboratively with governmental agencies, private industry, and citizens, and by providing technical assistance and support, local emergency management organizations are expanding capabilities to contribute a broad spectrum of professional services. Historically, federal and state perspectives have shaped the focus, scope, and policy of emergency management. Prior to and extending through the 1930s, emergency management programs did not exist except for some “New Deal” social programs, administered by federal agencies, that aided in response to specific disasters. Emergency Management found its beginning and was developed immediately after World War II as a response to military attack. The federal government created a nationwide shelter program under the provisions of the Civil Defense Act. The first federal assistance to state and local governments was provided under civil defense programs. At the federal level, response and recovery from natural and manmade disasters were thought to be within the jurisdiction of state and local governments. These disasters were philosophically and legally separate from “war- related” emergencies until the late 1970s. In 1979, the Federal Emergency Management Agency was established to assist in responding to war caused emergencies, nuclear events and natural and manmade disasters. In the 1980s, response and recovery efforts from other than war caused disasters became eligible for federal funding. This was the first effort to view emergency management as a comprehensive set of services encompassing four phases - mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Emergency Management also experienced a key policy shift. Focus shifted from one of nuclear war preparedness to a more balanced focus on natural and manmade hazards and disasters. An “all-hazards” approach was emphasized. Federal assistance became available for preparedness, direct response and recovery efforts. The increasing demand on federal funds for disaster recovery assistance prompted a change in federal policy to emphasize mitigation and provide technical assistance to build state and local government capabilities to more independently deal with emergencies and disasters that occur within their jurisdictions. In the 1990s, federal, state, and local governments recognized the increasing threat of terrorism. Domestic and foreign events, including the bombing of the New York World Trade Center in February 1993; the April 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City; the bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in June 1996; the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen in October 2000; terrorist attacks on September 2001; and the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 demonstrated terrorists’ willingness to use weapons of mass destruction. Federal agencies began to examine the causes and effects of these events, to shape U.S. policy, and fund domestic anti-terrorism preparedness activities. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 3 The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the New York World Trade Center and the Pentagon was a defining moment in the war on terrorism. The restructuring of domestic and foreign policy, and the development of nationwide initiatives to detect and prevent terrorist attacks and protect national critical infrastructure and systems witness this. At the federal level, anti-terrorism activities resulted in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Homeland Security continues delivering guidance, technical support, and funding for all aspects of threats and hazards in our communities. Four phases of Emergency Management 9B1.3 Hazard Mitigation Legislative Background Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000: In support of the expanded role of emergency management, Congress approved the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, (DMA2K), commonly known as the 2000 Stafford Act. Section 322 is the amendment to the Stafford Act that primarily deals with the development of local hazard mitigation plans. The DMA2K legislation was signed into law on October 30, 2000 (Public Law 106-390). The Interim Final Rule for planning provisions (implemented at 44 CFR Part 201) was initially published in the Federal Register in February 2002 and several additional Interim Final Rules have been published since 2002. Local hazard mitigation planning requirements are implemented in 44 CFR Part 201.6. The purpose of DMA2K, and it’s continued amendments, are to amend the Stafford Act to establish a national program for pre-disaster mitigation, streamline administration of disaster relief at both the federal and state level, and control federal costs of disaster assistance. Congress envisioned that implementation of these new requirements would result in the following key benefits: Reduction of loss of life and property, human suffering, economic disruption, and disaster costs. Prioritization of hazard mitigation planning at the local level, with an increased emphasis placed on planning and public involvement, assessing risks, implementing loss reduction measures, and ensuring critical services/facilities survive a disaster. Establishment of economic incentives, awareness and education to state, tribal, and local governments that result in forming community-based partnerships, implementing Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 4 effective hazard mitigation measures, leveraging additional non-federal resources, and establishing commitments to long-term hazard mitigation efforts. The DMA2K legislation requires all local, county and tribal governments to develop a hazard mitigation plan for their respective communities to be eligible to receive Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds. DMA2K requires that each plan must, at minimum, address or include the following general items: Plan Adoption by All Jurisdictions Planning Process including Public Involvement Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Mitigation Strategy Plan Implementation and Maintenance Procedures Any Specific State Requirements Hazard Mitigation Grant Program: In 1988, Congress established the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) by enactment of Section 404 of the Stafford Act. In 2002, regulations pertaining to the HMGP to reflect the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 were changed by 44 CFR Part 206, Subpart N. An Interim Final Rule was issued in October 2002, wherein the final compliance date was revised from November 1, 2003 to November 1, 2004. The HMGP continues to be updated with the most recent changes occurring in September 2009. The HMGP assists states and local communities in implementing long-term hazard mitigation measures by providing federal funding following a major disaster declaration. Eligible applicants include state and local agencies, tribal organizations, and certain non-profit organizations. Examples of typical HMGP eligible projects include: Property acquisition and relocation projects. Structural retrofitting to minimize damages from high winds, earthquake, flood, wildfire, or other natural hazards. Elevation of flood-prone structures. Vegetative management programs. Minor flood control projects that do not duplicate the flood prevention activities of other Federal agencies. Localized flood control projects, such as certain ring levees and floodwall systems, that are designed specifically to protect critical facilities. Post-disaster building code related activities that support building code officials during the reconstruction process Purchasing of land for the development and construct tornado-safe shelters Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 5 Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program: The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program was authorized by section 203 of the 2000 Stafford Act, 42 USC (Public Law 106-390). Funding for the program is provided through the National Pre-Disaster Mitigation Fund to assist state, local, and tribal governments in implementing cost-effective hazard mitigation activities that complement a comprehensive mitigation program. Two types of grants are offered under the PDM Program. Planning Grants - allocated funds to be used for hazard mitigation plan development. Competitive Grants - distributed funds using a competitive application process wherein all state, local, and tribal governments interested in obtaining grant funds can submit applications to be reviewed and ranked by FEMA using pre-determined criteria. The minimum eligibility requirements for jurisdictions receiving competitive PDM funds include: Participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Must not be suspended or on probation from the NFIP. Must have a FEMA approved Hazard Mitigation Plan. Flood Mitigation Assistance Program: The Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMA) was created as part of the National Flood Insurance Reform Act (NFIRA) of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 4101) with the goal of reducing or eliminating claims under the NFIP. Funding for the program is provided through the National Flood Insurance Fund. FMA provides funding to assist states and communities in implementing measures to: • Reduce the number of repetitively or substantially damaged structures and the associated claims on the National Flood Insurance Fund. • Encourage long-term, comprehensive mitigation planning. • Respond to the needs of communities participating in the NFIP to expand their mitigation activities beyond floodplain development review and permitting. • Complement other federal, state and local mitigation programs with similar, long-term mitigation goals. There are three types of grants available under FMA: • FMA Planning Grants are available to states and communities to prepare Flood Mitigation Plans. NFIP-participating communities with approved Flood Mitigation Plans can apply for FMA Project Grants. • FMA Project Grants are available to states and NFIP participating communities to implement measures to reduce flood losses. Ten percent of the Project Grant is made available to states. • Technical Assistance Grants are a part of Project Grants. A percentage of the Project Grants funding is made available to the states for technical assistance. These funds may be used by the state to help administer the program. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 6 Eligible communities may apply for an FMA planning grant. The NFIRA stipulates that to be eligible to receive an FMA grant, a community must have a FEMA-approved mitigation plan and must be participating in the NFIP. Examples of eligible FMA projects include: • Acquisition of NFIP-insured structures and underlying real property. • Demolition of NFIP-insured structures on acquired or restricted real property. • Minor physical flood mitigation projects that do not duplicate the flood-prevention activities of other federal agencies, that lessen the frequency or severity of flooding, and decrease predicted flood damages in local flood areas. These include modification of existing culverts and bridges, installation or modification of floodgates, stabilization of stream banks, and creation of small debris or flood/storm water retention basins in small watersheds. Construction or improvement of major structural flood-control structures such as dikes, levees, dams, seawalls, groins, and jetties, and projects consisting of channel widening or stream alignment are not eligible, as indicated in Section 1366. • Other activities that bring an NFIP-insured structure into compliance with the authorized statutory floodplain management requirements of 44 CFR Part 60.3. • Relocation of NFIP-insured structures from acquired or restricted real property to sites not prone to flood hazards. • Elevation of NFIP-insured residential structures, and elevation or dry flood proofing of NFIP-insured non-residential structures, in accordance with 44 CFR Part 60.3. 10B1.4 Plan Purpose The key purposes of this plan are: • To involve members of the county, cities, township, public, private, and other agencies to draft and adopt an action plan that serves as the blueprint for future development and preparedness activities across the county. • To identify the possible risks and hazards that may affect Anoka County through systematic hazard identification and risk assessment process. • To prioritize loss reduction and emergency preparedness activities for disasters. • To determine areas within Anoka County that may be vulnerable to various hazards. • To develop strategies and the best practices to avoid and mitigate the impact of hazards. 11B1.5 Plan Scope This Hazard Mitigation Plan will be updated and maintained by Anoka County Emergency Management to continually address hazards determined to be of high and moderate risk through the detailed vulnerability assessment for Anoka County. Other hazards that pose a low or negligible risk will continue to be evaluated for future updates to the Plan, but they may not Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 7 be fully addressed until they are determined to be of high or moderate risk. The geographic scope (i.e., the planning area) for the Plan includes all incorporated and unincorporated areas of Anoka County. This includes the following 22 governmental jurisdictions: Anoka County City of East Bethel City of Andover City of Fridley City of Anoka City of Ham Lake City of Bethel City of Hilltop City of Blaine City of Lexington City of Nowthen City of Lino lakes City of Centerville Township of Linwood City of Circle Pines City of Oak Grove City of Columbia Heights City of Ramsey City of Columbus City of St. Francis City of Coon Rapids City of Spring Lake Park 12B1.6 Plan Authority This Hazard Mitigation Plan has been adopted by Anoka County and its incorporated municipal jurisdictions in accordance with the authority and powers granted to counties, cities and towns as defined by the State of Minnesota. Copies of all local resolutions to adopt the Plan are included in the Resolutions and Adoption Section. This Plan was developed in accordance with current state and federal rules and regulations governing local hazard mitigation plans. The Plan shall be routinely monitored and revised to maintain compliance with the following provisions, rules, and legislation: • Section 322, Mitigation Planning, of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as enacted by Section 104 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-390); and • FEMA's Interim Final Rule published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002, at 44 CFR Part 201. 13B1.7 Plan Outline Section 1: Introduction provides the overview scope and purpose of the Plan and planning process. Section 2: Planning Process describes the process used to develop the Anoka County Multi- Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan. The description provides a general overview of local hazard mitigation planning as well as the specific procedures used by Anoka County to prepare its Plan. It includes a description of who was involved as members of the planning team and documents the outcomes of meetings. It also demonstrates the opportunities for the public and other stakeholders to participate in the plan development process. Section 3: Community Profile describes the general makeup of Anoka County and its local jurisdictions, including prevalent geographic, demographic, and economic characteristics. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 8 Building characteristics and land use patterns are presented along with some general historical disaster data. This baseline information provides a snapshot of the countywide planning area and thereby assists Anoka County in recognizing those social, environmental, and economic factors that ultimately play a role in determining community vulnerability to hazards. Section 4: Hazard Assessment is made up of three subsections: Hazard Identification, Hazard Analysis, and Hazard Vulnerability. Together, these sections serve to identify, analyze, and assess Anoka County’s overall risk to hazards. The risk assessment also defines any hazard risks that may uniquely or exclusively affect the individual municipal jurisdictions. The risk assessment builds on available historical data from past hazard occurrences, establishes hazard-by-hazard profiles, and culminates in a hazard risk ranking based on conclusions about the frequency of occurrence, spatial extent, and potential impact of each hazard. FEMA’s HAZUS®MR loss estimation methodology was also used in evaluating some known hazard risks by their relative long-term cost in expected damages. The information generated through the risk assessment serves a critical function. As communities seek to determine the most appropriate mitigation actions to pursue and implement, this information enables communities to prioritize and focus their efforts on those hazards of greatest concern and those structures or areas facing the greatest risk. Section 5: Capabilities, Mitigation, and Maintenance provides' a comprehensive examination of Anoka County and the participating local jurisdictions’ capacity to implement meaningful mitigation strategies, identifies existing opportunities to increase and enhance that capability, and details procedures for maintenance and evaluation of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Capabilities addressed in this section include planning and regulatory capability, administrative capability, technical capability, and fiscal capability. Information was obtained using detailed survey questionnaires for local officials and an inventory and analysis of existing plans, ordinances, and relevant documents. The purpose of this assessment is to identify any existing gaps, weaknesses, or conflicts in programs or activities that may hinder mitigation efforts, and to identify those activities that should be built upon in establishing a successful and sustainable community hazard mitigation program. The community profile, risk assessment, and capability assessment collectively serve as a basis for determining the goals for the Hazard Mitigation Plan, each contributing to the development, adoption, and implementation of a meaningful mitigation strategy that is based on accurate background information. Mitigation Strategy is made up of two subsections: Mitigation Strategic Goals and Mitigation Actions. Strategic Goals consists of broad, countywide goal statements for each local jurisdiction participating in the planning process to strive for in achieving, as well as a general description of the mitigation tools and techniques available for further consideration. The strategy provides the foundation for identifying and prioritizing mitigation actions. Mitigation Actions are action plans specific to each local jurisdiction, and link proposed mitigation actions for each to locally assigned implementation mechanisms and target implementation dates. This section is designed to make the Plan both strategic, through the identification of long-term goals, and functional, through the identification of short-term and immediate actions that will guide day-to-day decision-making and project implementation. Plan Maintenance includes the measures Anoka County and its municipal jurisdictions will take to ensure the Plan’s continuous long-term implementation. The procedures also include the way the Plan will be regularly evaluated and updated to remain a current and meaningful planning document. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 9 During this plan review process, each jurisdiction actively participated in reviewing and updating the relevant sections for their jurisdiction. The document below demonstrates how the sections of the plan were divided and each jurisdiction’s individual contribution to the updated County Wide Hazard Mitigation Plan. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 11 1BSECTION 2: PLANNING PROCESS This section of the Plan describes the mitigation planning process undertaken by Anoka County in preparation of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. It consists of eight subsections: • Overview of Hazard Mitigation Planning • Preparing the Plan • The Planning Team • Community Meetings and Workshops • Involving the Public • Involving Stakeholders • Multi-Jurisdictional Participation • Review and Incorporation of Existing Plans 14B2.1 Overview of Hazard Mitigation Planning Local hazard mitigation planning is the process of organizing community resources, identifying and assessing hazard risks, and determining how to best minimize or manage those risks. This process results in a hazard mitigation plan that identifies specific mitigation actions, each designed to achieve both short-term planning objectives and a long-term community vision. To ensure the functionality of each mitigation action, responsibility is assigned to a specific individual, department, or agency, along with a schedule for action implementation. Plan maintenance procedures are established for the monitoring of implementation progress, and the evaluation and enhancement of the mitigation plan. These plan maintenance procedures ensure that Anoka County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan remains a current, dynamic, and effective planning document over time. Mitigation planning offers many benefits, including: • Preventing loss of life and property; • Promoting fiscal responsibility and cost savings; • Facilitate recovery following disasters; • Reducing future vulnerability through wise development and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction; • Expediting the receipt of pre- and post-disaster grant funding; and • Demonstrating a commitment to improve community health and safety. Typically, mitigation planning has the potential to produce long-term and recurring benefits by breaking the repetitive cycle of disaster loss. A core assumption of hazard mitigation is that pre- disaster investments will significantly reduce the demand for post-disaster assistance by lessening the need for emergency response, repair, recovery, and reconstruction. Mitigation practices will enable residents, businesses, and industries to recover in the wake of a disaster to ensure the community economy is re-established quicker and with less interruption. The benefits of mitigation planning go beyond reducing hazard vulnerability. Measures such as the acquisition or regulation of land in known hazard areas can help achieve multiple community goals such as preserving open space, maintaining environmental health, and enhancing recreational opportunities. Thus, it is vitally important that any local mitigation planning process be integrated with other local planning efforts, and any proposed mitigation strategies be congruent with other existing community goals or initiatives. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 12 15B2.2 Preparing the Plan In preparing this Plan, Anoka County utilized a multi-jurisdictional planning process consistent with the one recommended by FEMA (Publication Series 386). A Local Mitigation Plan Crosswalk, found in Appendix G, provides a summary of FEMA’s current minimum standards of acceptability for compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and notes the location where each requirement is met within the Plan. These standards are based upon FEMA’s Interim Final Rule as published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002, in Part 201 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The planning process included eight major steps that were completed during the development of the Plan. These steps are illustrated in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1 Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Planning Process Multi-hazard Requirement §201.6(b): An open public involvement process is essential to the development of an effective plan. In order to develop a more comprehensive approach to reducing the effects of natural disasters, the planning process shall include: 1 An opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval; 2 An opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities, and agencies that have the authority to regulate development, as well as businesses, academia and other private and non-profit interests to be involved in the planning process; and 3 Review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information. Multi-hazard Requirement §201.6(c)(1): The plan shall document the planning process used to develop the plan, including how it was prepared, who was involved in the process, and how the public was involved. FMA Requirement §78.5(a): Description of the planning process and public involvement. Public involvement may include workshops, public meetings, or public hearings. A. Does the plan provide a narrative description of the process followed to prepare the plan? Mitigation Planning Community “Kickoff” meeting Capabilities, Hazard Risk, and Vulnerability Data Collection Mitigation Goals and Plan Maintenance Draft Plan Review Community Meeting Plan Adoption Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 13 16B2.3 The Planning Team A community-based planning team developed the original Plan in cooperation with the Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEM) and consulting company Excelliant Services created the original Hazard Mitigation Plan. During the review and update process for the current document, a planning team engaged government officials in local meetings and planning workshops to discuss and complete tasks associated with preparing the Plan. This working group coordinated all aspects of the plan development process and became formally recognized as the Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee. In addition to regular meetings, committee members routinely communicated and were kept informed through a dedicated e-mail distribution group. Additional participation and input from county residents and other identified stakeholders were sought through the distribution of public notices and the facilitation of public meetings. A committee was selected participate and complete the comprehensive update for the 2019 version of Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Committee consists of participants representing all areas of the county and is responsible for the development of the updated plan. The designated primary and alternate points of contact are the Anoka County Emergency Management Director and the Emergency Management Specialist. These points of contact provided the interface for the Anoka County Emergency Management Department to the Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee. The Anoka Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan Steering Committee’s role and responsibility is to provide policy and strategic direction to ensure that the Anoka County Planning Committee continues to fulfill its goals and objectives.

More importantly, the meetings and workshops prompted continuous input and feedback throughout the drafting stages of the Plan. Below is a summary of the key meetings and community workshops for the Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee. Additional meetings were held by the participating jurisdictions to accomplish planning tasks specific to their community, such as specific mitigation actions for inclusion in their Mitigation Action Plan. Public notices and and/or minutes of these meetings have been scanned into this plan and can be found starting on page 273. The table below summarizes the mandatory meetings of the committee and information sessions discussion the Hazard Mitigation Plan. MANDATORY COMMITTEE AND PUBLIC MEETINGS Date Meeting Number of Attendees August 22, 2018 Planning Kickoff Meeting 9 January 24,2018 EM Planning Group 18 Future Dates Plan Adoption Meeting(s) The Initial Project Review and Update Kick Off was held with officials from Anoka County and representatives of the Anoka County Emergency Management Work Group on August 8th, 2018. The Project Coordinator Ryan Kelzenberg was introduced to the Emergency Management Work Group and discussed steps needed to complete the review and update of the current Hazard Mitigation Plan. The goal is to have the final review completed and be ready to submit the Hazard Mitigation Plan for adoption in May 2019. Discussions focused on the overall project approach, in which emphasis was placed on the steps necessary to meet the requirements of building on the existing Hazard Mitigation Plan and work already completed at the state and local level. Additional discussions focused on the specific roles and responsibilities for all parties involved in the planning process. In addition to representatives from each of the participating municipal jurisdictions, it was determined that representatives from fire and law enforcement agencies, private businesses, voluntary agencies, and the public would continue to be invited to participate in the process. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 17 The steps in updating the Hazard Mitigation Plan were discussed, including the need for ongoing coordination throughout the entire planning process and the need to reach out to organizations that may not have been represented in the previous plan update. Specific data was provided, including the Capability Assessment Survey and hazard and mitigation tools used in the previous update. Specific issues including the need to review, analyze, and incorporate existing information that may be helpful to process such as mitigation or hazard-related plans, policies, programs, studies, reports and technical documentation were discussed. Agendas for future meetings were outlined, including the first official public meeting of the Mitigation Plan Planning. The Mitigation Plan Project Kickoff Public Meeting was held to present the project and its’ benefits and requirements to all participating jurisdictions attendees and invited stakeholders. The intent of the first session meeting was to educate participants on the mitigation planning process and to explain DMA2K multi-jurisdictional planning requirements. The meeting began with a detailed presentation of the mitigation planning process. The presentation introduced the concept of hazard mitigation and detailed the mitigation planning process to be followed. Preliminary data collection efforts for the risk and capability assessment tasks associated with the development of the Plan were discussed. Specific data collection needs were explained, including the need for any available local hazard risk data unique to Anoka County. Following the presentation, Anoka County Emergency Management addressed questions raised by the attendees. These primarily related to the methodologies and data requirements for completing the risk and capability assessments and the types of mitigation actions each jurisdiction should consider for inclusion in their updated Mitigation Action Plans. A project plan/timeline was presented to focus the Mitigation Plan Planning Committee on the required tasks and timeline to complete the Mitigation Plan. Data collection efforts were launched through the distribution and explanation of the existing data to each member of the committee to review for their jurisdiction. Each committee member was assigned the task of meeting with appropriate officials from their respective agency or jurisdiction to review and update the information for their jurisdiction. During the original planning process there was concern was expressed regarding the formal adoption of the plan by each of the jurisdictions at the end of the process. It was explained by Anoka County Emergency Management that each of the committee members shared a role in being ambassadors for mitigation, along with the responsibility of educating elected officials and other stakeholders in their communities. Continued education, awareness, and public involvement efforts will enhance support and consensus on agreeable mitigation action alternatives for Anoka County. During the comprehensive update, Anoka County and the plan participants would continue to use this process during the comprehensive update. The Anoka County Community Meeting date was published on the Anoka County Website as required for all public meetings. The meeting was attended by representatives of Anoka County Emergency Management though the attendance from businesses and residents of Anoka County fell short of our attendance goal.

Final Mitigation Plan The initial “Mitigation Methodology Workshop” was held in the form of a 3-hour “Mitigation Strategy Workshop” for the original Hazard Mitigation Plan. The workshop began with a detailed presentation of the data collection and hazard vulnerability assessment progress. As a part of the comprehensive review, the Hazard Mitigation Team reviewed the original information and updated with currently available data to assist in validating the original vulnerabilities. Subsequent reviews were completed based on reviewing the existing hazards and identifying changes that have occurred in the risks for each vulnerability After completing the general hazard identification and analysis process and based on a Calculated Priority Risk Index (CPRI) and annualized loss estimates, the following were determined to be “high risk” hazards for Anoka County. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 21 1. Flooding 2. Pandemic 3. Thunderstorms 4. Tornadoes 5. Winter Storms 6. Wildfires 7. Hazmat 8. Active Violence 9. Terrorism 10. Urban Fires The results were based on responses to the Capability Assessment Survey, all jurisdictions in Anoka County have a medium to high capability to implement hazard mitigation actions. Each participating municipality representative was tasked with developing specific goals, objectives and action items specific to each municipality. These goals, objectives and actions specific to each municipality have been reviewed and modified as necessary from the original goals. In the current plan, the goals are noted with new, ongoing, or completed to represent the change from the Anoka Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan of 2014. The Anoka County Multi-Hazard, Multi-Jurisdictional Mitigation Plan Adoption Meetings will be held according to each municipality’s adoption process. Each municipality will adopt the plan in a regularly scheduled city or town council meeting. The appropriate Public Notice will be published prior to the meeting. Prior to the adoption meetings, a copy of the plan will be made available to the public in the appropriate public locations. The plan will also be available for public review the day of the adoption in the city or town council office. During the adoption process, comments on the plan will be solicited from the attendees. All comments will be documented in the minutes of the meeting and provided to the Mitigation Planning Committee. The Anoka County Board of Commissioners will adopt the plan per the county’s adoption process and during a regularly scheduled County Board meeting. The appropriate Public Notice will be published prior to the meeting. Prior to the meeting, the plan will be made available to the public in the appropriate Public locations for public review and comments. The plan will also be available to the public the day of the meeting at the Anoka County Government Center. During the adoption process comments on the plan will be solicited from the attendees. All comments will be documented in the minutes of the meeting and provided to the Mitigation Planning Committee. 18B2.5 Involving the Public 38B2.5.1 Public Participation During Plan Construction A fundamental component of Anoka County’s community-based mitigation planning process involves public participation. Citizen involvement provides the Emergency Management Group with a greater understanding of local concerns and ensures a higher degree of mitigation success by developing community “buy-in” from those directly affected by the planning decisions of public officials. As citizens become more involved in decisions that affect their life and safety, they are C. Does the plan indicate how the public was involved? (Was the public provided an opportunity to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to the plan approval Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 22 more likely to gain a greater appreciation of the hazards present in their community and take personal steps to reduce the potential impact. Public awareness is a key component of an overall mitigation strategy aimed at making a home, neighborhood, school, business, or city safer from the potential effects of natural or manmade hazards. Public input was sought using three methods: (1) surveys; (2) open public meetings; and (3) publicizing the availability of the draft hazard mitigation plan at government offices, and an Internet site. The initial community meeting for the 2019 update was held on August 22th 2018 at the Anoka County Sheriff’s Department Community Room and the meeting notification was published by Anoka County. The announcement is included in the References and Acknowledgement section of this document. A Public Participation Survey was designed to capture additional information from residents of Anoka County. Surveys were provided to citizens who attended public meetings and on several communities’ web sites. County and municipal officials distributed additional copies of the survey. Please see the Public Participation Survey Results in Appendix C. The county-level public meeting will be held during the Mitigation Plan Approval process to present the findings of the risk and capability assessments and to garner public input regarding unique hazard concerns and possible mitigation actions that could be included in the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Attendees were provided an informational handout on mitigation planning. The current mitigation process and progress were discussed. Anoka County Emergency Management will discuss the Public Participation Survey The meeting will be advertised through the posting of a public meeting notice at county and municipal offices. The notices though the county and city websites, Community Television, and bulletin boards have a widespread audience, which ensured that local officials, residents, businesses, academia, and other private interests in Anoka County were invited to participate in the local mitigation planning process. The draft Plan will be made available on the Anoka County Emergency Management website https://www.anokacounty.us/1048/Emergency-Management. 39B2.5.2 Public Opportunity During Plan Review Members of the community and public were provided with several opportunities to participate in the planning process for the 2019 update. A survey was for the community was created and the link to the survey was published on the Anoka County Emergency Management website and though several of the jurisdiction’s websites. The results from the community survey are located in Annex C. The results from the survey were used to assist the planning team with the concerns of the residents of Anoka County during the planning process. The notice for the Hazard Mitigation Plan Community Meeting was published as required on the Anoka County website and held at 4:00 PM on August 22th, 2018 at the Anoka County Sheriff’s Department community meeting room. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 23 19B2.6 Involving Stakeholders A range of stakeholders were invited and encouraged to participate in the development of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Stakeholder involvement was encouraged through notifications and invitations to select agencies or individuals to participate in the hazard mitigation planning process. These included representatives from Anoka County and each of the incorporated municipalities, EM Group (LEPC), private sector businesses, voluntary agencies, and citizens. In addition to the Emergency Management Group meetings, Anoka County encouraged open and widespread participation in the mitigation planning process through the publication of newspaper notices promoting open public meetings. These media advertisements and survey instruments provided local officials, residents, businesses, academia, and other private interests in Anoka County the opportunity to be involved and offer input throughout the local mitigation planning process. Anoka County continues to encourage stakeholder involvement by reminding all participating jurisdictions to make announcements and notifications consistent with their existing local plan adoption procedures. It will be the responsibility of each participating jurisdiction and its local governing body to determine if and how any additional specific stakeholder groups or individuals should be involved in the planning process. Anoka County Emergency Management reached out to the School Districts and Watershed districts that have a presence in Anoka County regarding the process to update the Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Mississippi Watershed District attend the initial planning meeting. 20B2.7 Multi-Jurisdictional Participation The Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Plan is multi-jurisdictional and includes the participation of Anoka County and its 21 incorporated municipalities. Plan participants are: • Anoka County • City of Andover • City of Anoka • City of Bethel • City of Blaine • City of Nowthen • City of Centerville • City of Circle Pines • City of Columbia Heights • City of Columbus • City of Coon Rapids • City of East Bethel • City of Fridley • City of Ham Lake • City of Hilltop • City of Lexington • City of Lino Lakes • Linwood Township D. Was there an opportunity for neighboring communities, agencies, businesses, academia, nonprofits, and other interested parties to be involved in the planning process? Multi-hazard Requirement §201.6(a)(3): Multi-jurisdictional plans (e.g., watershed plans) may be accepted, as appropriate, as long as each jurisdiction has participated in the process … Statewide plans will not be accepted as multi- jurisdictional plans. FMA Requirement §78.5(a): Description of the planning process and public involvement. Public involvement may include workshops, public meetings, or public hearings. A. Does the plan describe how each jurisdiction participated in the plan’s development Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 24 • City of Oak Grove • City of Ramsey • City of St. Francis • City of Spring Lake Park To satisfy multi-jurisdictional participation requirements, each of the local jurisdictions was required to perform the following tasks: • Designate appropriate officials from each jurisdiction to serve as the designated representative for mitigation planning; • Participate in all mitigation planning meetings and workshops; • Provide best available data for the risk assessment portion of the Plan; • Complete the Capability Assessment Survey and provide copies of any mitigation or hazard-related documents for review and incorporation into the Plan; • Support the development of a countywide mitigation strategy, including the design and adoption of general goal statements for all jurisdictions to pursue; • Develop a Mitigation Action Plan with specific mitigation actions for its jurisdiction; • Review and provide timely comments on all draft components of the Plan; • Adopt the Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional, All Hazards Mitigation Plan, including its specific local Mitigation Action Plan. Through the completion of these tasks, each municipality will have fully participated with Anoka County in the development of this Plan. 21B2.8 Review and Incorporation of Existing Plans An important aspect of the planning process involved the review of existing federal, state, and local plans, studies, reports, and technical information, as well as the ordinances, regulations, and resolutions of each jurisdiction for incorporation into the Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Plans and documents reviewed by various members of the committee as pertinent to assigned tasks include: • Jurisdictional ordinances, regulations, and resolutions Each Jurisdiction reviewed their documents to ensure that all changes and updates were included in the 2019 update • Anoka County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) The Anoka County EOP was updated in 2011 from Annexes to Emergency Support Functions. The EOP was reviewed to insure consistency between the EOP and the Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan • Anoka County Public Health All Hazards Emergency Response and Recovery Plan • Anoka County Schools Emergency Response/Crisis Management Plan • SARA Title II facilities reporting documents and site emergency plans These reports were reviewed for any updates and changes and used to create maps for the location of SARA Title II Facilities. • State of Minnesota Hazard Mitigation Plan E. Does the planning process describe the review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information? Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 25 Reviewed to insure hazards and risks to Anoka County were included in the Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan and goals for Anoka County Jurisdictions compliment the State of Minnesota’s goals. • FEMA Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2018-2022 Reviewed FEMA guidance to ensure that the Anoka Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan compliments the vision in the FEMA Strategic Plan • National Incident Management System (NIMS) Anoka County Continues to use promote and support NIMS. The documents were reviewed to ensure that Anoka County’s Mitigation Plan conforms to NIMS requirements. • U.S. Department of Homeland Security National Planning Frameworks Documents The series of documents provide guidance on how the Federal Government will cooperate and assist during incidents and events. These documents were reviewed to ensure that the Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan compliments and supports the Frameworks. • 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 This series of documents was reviewed to provide assistance and guidance during the process of updating the Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan These documents, on file at Anoka County Emergency Management Agency in electronic or hard copy format, provided valuable guidance in the planning process. The documents 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 manmade 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. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 27 2BSECTION 3: JURISDICTION PROFILES 22B3.1 Jurisdiction Descriptions Anoka County and participating municipalities are comprised of 22 jurisdictions. In this section each participating jurisdiction is described as to geography, community history and any special characteristics. ANOKA COUNTY JURISDICTIONS Anoka County East Bethel Andover Fridley Anoka Ham Lake Bethel Hilltop Blaine Lexington City of Nowthen Lino Lakes Centerville Linwood Township Circle Pines Oak Grove Columbia Heights Ramsey City of Columbus St. Francis Coon Rapids Spring Lake Park Anoka County Anoka County is bounded by Isanti County on the north, Chisago and Washington Counties on the east, Ramsey and Hennepin Counties on the south, and Hennepin and Sherburne Counties on the west. It lies on both sides of the Rum River, which enters the county approximately 20 miles north of the City of Anoka. Anoka County has grown from a largely rural area in 1857 to the present-day urban center. This urban center has diversified industrial, commercial, residential, and professional development. It is one of the largest and fastest growing counties in the State of Minnesota. Anoka County, with its county seat in Anoka, encompasses a 423 square mile area and has a population of approximately 330,844 (U.S. Census 2010). The July 2017 estimated population is 351,373 from the U.S. Census. The history of Anoka County starts in 1849 when the Minnesota territorial legislature organized the counties of Washington, Ramsey and Benton. What is now Anoka County was embraced in both Ramsey and Benton Counties because the Rum River was the dividing line between the two counties. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 28 As early as 1850, fur traders began to settle on the Rum River in the area now known as Ramsey. As more settlers came into the area, this thriving community was given the name Anoka. The name originated from the Indian language, meaning "on both sides." In 1856, Sherburne County was detached from Benton County. That territory, lying east of Sherburne County and west of the Rum River, was also detached to become a part of Ramsey County. By an act of the legislature, Anoka County was formed from Ramsey County on May 23, 1857. The original eight townships included: Anoka, Watertown (Ramsey), Round Lake (Andover), Bethel, Columbus, St. Francis, Oak Grove and Centerville. The original boundaries of Anoka County were the same as today except for a small portion of the southeastern tip of the county along the Mississippi River at the south. This strip was a tiny county created from Ramsey County the same day Anoka County was created. This tiny county was given the name of Manomin and occupied only about one-third of a congressional township. It functioned as an organized county until abolished and attached to Anoka County by constitutional amendment November 2, 1869. As an organized township of Anoka County, Manomin kept this name until it was changed to Fridley in 1879. Anoka County, located minutes from the Twin Cities on the banks of the great Mississippi River, is one of the fastest growing counties in Minnesota. Here you’ll find a unique blend of urban amenities in a friendly, small town atmosphere where neighbors still know each other. With award-winning schools, two major hospitals, world-class recreational facilities, and two post-secondary educational institutions, it’s easy to see why so many people are choosing to live and work in Anoka County. In addition to the Mississippi and Rum Rivers, there are 125 lakes and 20 county or regional parks in Anoka County. Anoka County, the fourth most populous county in Minnesota, is part of the Twin Cities Metropolitan region. City of Andover Andover is located 20 miles north of Minneapolis at Latitude 45.23 N and Longitude -93.36 W, has a land area of 34.1 square miles at an elevation of 891 feet. Andover was first organized in 1857 as “Round Lake Township.” In 1860 the name was changed to “Grow Township” in honor of Senator Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania. At that time, the population was 330 and included the geographical area we know today as Ham Lake. Ham Lake was considered a part of Grow Township until 1871. In 1972, the Grow Township Board of Supervisors recognized that the town was growing at a rapid rate and felt a village form of government would provide better services to the community. The Board supervisors voted in favor of proceeding with the incorporation process. A new name for the “Andover Village” was chosen because the name Andover had historical interest. The historical interest and name, we believe, came from the Andover “train myth.” The myth states that a train tipped over in a swamp, and an eyewitness, relaying the incident, said it “went over and over,” thereby naming the city “Andover.” However, research reveals that the name Andover first appeared in an article dated March 14, 1899 in the Anoka County Union Newspaper - before train tracks were ever built in the city. The article stated that the Eastern Minnesota line of the Great Northern Railway was in the process of constructing railroad tracks from the Coon Creek Cut-off to the North. The railway announced that new railroad stations with mathematical precision were to be located five miles apart from each other. The new stations Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 29 (from Coon Creek to the North, along the new railroad line) were to be named Andover, Cedar, Bethel, Isanti, Cambridge, Stanchfield, Braham, Grasston, Cornell, and Brook Park. On July 4, 1899, the first train passed through the Andover Station. Andover Village was established in 1972 and then became the City of Andover, a city of the fourth class, in 1974. Today the City of Andover’s population exceeds 31,000, classifying it as a third-class city. Andover’s governing body consists of a Mayor and four City Council members. The Andover City Center Complex is located at 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW (at the intersection of Crosstown Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard) and is home to the City Offices, Public Works Department, Community Center, and the Senior Center. Andover is served by a full-time Police Department through a contract with the Anoka County Sheriff’s Department. A professional paid on call Fire Department also serves the community. Andover is part of two of the finest school districts in the state. St. Francis School District #15 covers the northern section of the City, while Anoka-Hennepin School District #11 serves the south four-fifths of the City. Crooked Lake Elementary, Andover Elementary, Rum River Elementary, Oak View Middle School and Andover High School are all located within the City of Andover and are part of School District #11. A private institution, Meadow Creek Christian School, is also located in the City. The City of Andover is an exciting place to live, do business, and enjoy the scenic rural atmosphere. With a population exceeding 31,000, Andover is no longer the best-kept secret of Anoka County. Predominantly a residential community, Andover also has abundant parks, trails and recreational areas. The City has more than 500 acres of community and neighborhood parks. Kelsey Round Lake Park is a 136-acre nature area for hiking, skiing and environmental observation. Other recreational facilities include more than 400 acres of the Anoka County Bunker Hills Regional Park (which is home to the Bunker Beach Waterpark), hiking / biking trails, cross-country skiing trails, camping and other outdoor activities. The Rum River Central Regional Park is located immediately north of Andover on County Road 7. The annual Andover Family Fun Fest is held in July. City of Anoka Anoka is 20 miles from Minneapolis at Latitude 45.21 N and Longitude –93.39 W, with a land area of 7.13 square miles and an elevation of 870 feet. Two rivers, the Rum and Mississippi, played an integral part in Anoka's settlement. Father Lewis Hennepin first visited this area in 1680 and settlers came to stay in 1844. Prior to the 1800's, the Dakota Indians claimed the area surrounding Anoka, but later the Ojibwa tribes pushed the Dakota westward across the Mississippi. The territory of Anoka then became a neutral ground between the two tribes. The name Anoka was derived from two Indian words, the Dakota word A-NO-KA-TAN-HAN meaning on both sides of the river, and the Ojibwa word ON-O-KAY, meaning working waters. The first settler in the Anoka area was Joseph Belanger who built a log cabin on the east side of the Rum River near its mouth. The logs were floated down the Rum River to the Mississippi River to the sawmill in St. Anthony. In 1853, the first dam was constructed on the Rum River at its present location and in 1854 the first sawmill began operation. Other saw mills, woodworking plants, and copper shops quickly sprang up along the banks of the Rum River using water as their source of power. For the next twenty years milling was an important industry in Anoka. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 30 After the decline of the sawmills in late 1885, a Board of Trade was organized to encourage other industries to move to Anoka. In 1886, a potato starch factory was built on the west side of the Rum River north of the dam. During this time, before the Red River Valley opened, Anoka was the center of potato production. Also operating at this time was the Anoka Shoe Factory, which employed 80 people and produced 800 pairs of shoes per day. In 1898, a bill was passed by the state legislature to construct a state hospital in Anoka. The hospital is now known as the Anoka-Metro Regional Treatment Center. In 1856, a ferry was established across the Mississippi river, connecting Anoka with the City of Champlin. After 28 years of operation, the ferry was replaced in 1884 by a steel bridge. The bridge had a turntable in the middle, operated by a hand winch that opened up two channels to allow boats to pass up or down the river. Other transportation in that era was a horse-drawn streetcar system and rail service to St. Paul. The City of Anoka's development was severely damaged by fire during its early years. Five major fires between 1855 and 1884 impeded the City's development. The worst fire in the downtown area, in 1884, destroyed 86 buildings from the Rum River to Third Avenue. Again, tragedy struck the City in 1939. A tornado swept through the east side of town. Many homes, a church, and the armory were destroyed and three lives were lost. It is believed that Anoka was the first city in the United States to put on a Halloween celebration. In early 1920, Anoka merchants and other interested citizens joined together in a move to stop Halloween pranks. The idea was to have a big Halloween party for all the children with free candy and lots of entertainment. In October of 1920, Anoka had its first Halloween celebration. The celebration has been held every year since, with the exception of two years during WWII. Anoka considers it the "Halloween Capital of the World" and now has many events during October including football games, costume contests, block parties, Grey Ghost 5k run, and two parades. Situated at the confluence of the Rum and Mississippi Rivers, this historic river city has a bountiful array of recreational and leisure activities to enjoy. City of Bethel The city of Bethel is a very small one square mile rectangular shaped rural community in the extreme northern portion of Anoka County. The City of Bethel is located at latitude 45.40 N and longitude 93.26 W and has an elevation of 930 feet. The larger cities of East Bethel and St. Francis surround the city of Bethel. The City of East Bethel is directly east of Bethel and the City of St. Francis is directly west. A quarter mile wide strip of the city of St. Francis separates the City of Bethel from the southern border of Athens Township in Isanti County. Bethel, a city in St. Francis Township, was first settled in 1856 by Quakers and was organized the next year; it was established as a post office in 1865 at a site known as Bethel Corners, incorporated as a village in 1902 and reincorporated in 1913. Its name is from ancient Palestine, meaning "House of God," and was selected for this township by Moses Twitchell, who settled here as an immigrant from Bethel, Maine. The city was incorporated over 100 years ago and was built around the Great Northern Railroad tracks which run north from the city of Minneapolis to the southern shore of Lake Superior at the port cities of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad currently operates the rail line and is a busy main line running to northern Minnesota and the port cities. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 31 City of Blaine Blaine is located in the south-central portion of Anoka County, with a small section of the city located in Ramsey County. Its longitude and latitude coordinates are 45.10 N and 93.12 W. Blaine has a land area of 34.04 square miles and an elevation of 902 feet. Phillip Laddy, a native of Ireland, is recognized as the first settler in Blaine. In 1862, he settled for a short time near the only naturally occurring lake in Blaine. That lake now bears his name, Laddie Lake. In 1865, Blaine welcomed its first permanent resident, Greenberry Chambers, a former slave who moved north from Kentucky, following the Civil War. In 1877, Blaine separated from Anoka and organized as a township of its own. The first Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Moses Ripley, came to Minnesota from Maine and persuaded his fellow board members to name the new township in honor of James G. Blaine, a senator and three-time presidential candidate from Maine. Blaine was later incorporated at a city in 1954. Blaine's growth remained slow until after World War II when starter home developments began to spring up in the southern part of town. Blaine's population went from 1,694 in 1950 to 20,640 in 1970. Blaine has continued to grow and became the largest city in Anoka County in 2017, with a population of 65,359. Blaine is well known for its sporting facilities. The National Sports Center opened in 1990 and is one of the largest and most diverse sporting complexes in the world. With 52 soccer fields it has the most soccer fields on one campus according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The Schwan’s Super Rink has eight sheets of ice in one indoor facility. Minnesota United FC, of Major League Soccer, use the facility for training. The NSC also has an 18-hole golf course and an 18-hole putting course. Cycling, golf, hockey, ultimate disc, soccer, broomball, basketball, football, lacrosse, figure skating, rugby, baseball, softball and volleyball are just some of the sports that have been played at the NSC. The largest youth soccer tournament in the Western Hemisphere is held each July at the NSC, more than 25,000 people visit the campus each day during the USA Cup. Blaine is also home to Fogerty Arena will two full sheets of ice and the attached Four Seasons Curling Club with six sheets of curling ice. The TPC Twin Cities also calls Blaine home. Designed by Arnold Palmer with player consultant Tom Lehman the private TPC Twin Cities opened in 2000. The course was home to the 3M Championship, a PGA Tour Champions event, from 2001 until 2018. Starting in 2019 the course became host to the 3M Open a regular stop on the PGA Tour. The 3M Open brings 125,000 people to Blaine each year during the tournament. City of Centerville Centerville is located in the eastern part of Anoka County at Latitude 45.16 N and Longitude – 93.05 W and an elevation of 899 feet. The city has a total area of 1,597 acres (2.2 square miles.) Located between the shores of Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake. The two lakes are used as a water supply for the city of St. Paul in drought situations. It is a suburb of Minneapolis/St. Paul and is located 20 minutes from St. Paul. Centerville is totally surrounded by the city of Lino Lakes. Centerville settled in 1850-52, was organized in 1857 and incorporated on September 27, 1910. Its village of this name, thence given to the township, was platted in the spring of 1854, having a Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 32 central situation between the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers. The settlers in the village and vicinity were mostly French, and this came to be known as the French settlement, while numerous German settlers in the western part of the township caused that to be called the German settlement. The post office was named Columbus, 1856-63, and then Centreville, 1863-93, before its current spelling, and was discontinued in 1905. Charles Peltier built the first sawmill in the county here in 1854. In 1971, a number of streets were renamed to reflect its history. Centerville honors its history and heritage. Settled in 1800’s as a French settlement and stayed mostly French until WW2. This was the main rest stop between Stillwater and Anoka in the earliest days of the Minnesota territory. Has had significant growth in the last 15 years and is close to being fully developed. Centerville's rich French-Canadian heritage is celebrated at the annual summer celebration called Fete des Lacs, which is French for Festival of Lakes. Residents and visitors gather at festival activities all over town to eat, dance, watch a parade, play softball and watch fireworks on Earth Day. City of Circle Pines The city of Circle Pines is located in the southeastern portion of Anoka County at Latitude 45.13 N and Longitude 93.15 W and an elevation of 889 feet. The city has a land area of 1.8 square miles and is a suburban community. The city is bordered by Lino Lakes on the east, Blaine on the north, and Lexington to the west. The city is 15 miles north of Minneapolis/St. Paul. With fields of oaks and elms, the rural appearance can be deceiving – homes and businesses are fairly closely spaced. In May of 1946, a cooperative village of 1,203 acres was announced "to unite the habitation benefits of a functional and contemporary community with the economic advantages of a consumer's cooperative." Each home would front a park or a walkway. There would be adult education, nurseries, educational and recreational activities; and the commercial facilities and services would be owned cooperatively, as would the municipal utilities. The people who settled into Circle Pines in the late 1940’s honed a "cooperative lifestyle." A group of people joined together to form a company to provide for their own needs rather than buying what is needed from private enterprise. The idea was that if you bought a house in Circle Pines, you would have a stake in the businesses that serve the community. The symbol for cooperatives was a pine tree with a circle around it. Thus, the name Circle Pines was born. After only three years, the cooperative lifestyle was abandoned, in part because of problems in securing financing and rifts among leaders. On April 8, 1950, the area, former territory in Blaine and Centerville townships, was incorporated as a village. In 1974, Circle Pines received city status. City of Columbia Heights The City of Columbia Heights is located at the Southern tip of Anoka County on the northern border of the City of Minneapolis (Hennepin County). Ramsey County borders on the East, with the City of Fridley (Anoka County) on the West border. The city is 3.4 square miles in size with a Latitude of 45.04 N and Longitude of –93.26 W and an elevation of 922 feet. Columbia Heights is a hilly community as the Mississippi River is only 1/4 mile west of town limits. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 33 The Village of Columbia Heights was formed on March 14, 1898 when it separated from Fridley Township. With 1696 acres, 100 citizens and 20 houses, paths became roads, traffic patterns emerged, and a city began. On July 21, 1921 the Charter of the City of Columbia Heights was adopted and the city was formed. City parks of Prestemon, Gauvitte and McKenna were all named for members of this first city council. Ava Ostrander, first woman elected to the council in 1924 also has a park named for her. Columbia Heights is an older community with structures dating back to the early 1900’s. Approximately 2/3 of the community was built right after WWII between the early 1950’s thru the mid 1960’s. 86% of our community is residential with the other 14% as commercial or industrial etc. Many buildings in the “downtown” area are 50 to 80 years old. The City of Hilltop located in the center of our community is entirely surrounded by Columbia Heights. Columbia Heights population from the 2010 census was 19,496, which is down approximately 3,000 from its high in the 1970’s but up almost 1000 from 2000. The city is a fully developed, urban community that is beginning to see areas of redevelopment. By the time parks were considered, most of the high ground was taken, leaving low-lying areas for parks. These areas were filled in and parks developed. Huset Park was the first Columbia Heights Park and was originally called City Park. It was renamed for a Lutheran minister, Elmer Huset of First Lutheran Church and City Manager for a time. The Jefferson pavilion building was constructed in 1959 on the eastern portion of Huset Park. Columbia School was built in 1894 at 41st and Central. In 1911, the south portion of the school was built. This building was razed in 1967. Oakwood School was built in 1915 and closed as a public school in 1974. It is now the home of Oak Hill Baptist Church. Silver Lake School built in 1922, closed in 1981 and became the new home of First Lutheran Church. In December of 1926, Columbia Heights High School on 41st Ave between Jackson and Van Buren became the first high school in Anoka County. It became the Columbia Junior High School in 1961 and in 1981 it was sold to the Northwestern Electronics Institute and operated as a technical college until NEI merged with Dunwoody in 2002. The City purchased the property and tore the structure down. The site became the new home of the Police and Fire Departments when the new Public Safety building opened in 2009. The property surrounding Silver Lake was mostly privately owned and had a privately-run beach. In 1920, when a man drowned in the lake, the lake was dynamited in an attempt to find the body. This destroyed many of the natural springs, and water levels dropped greatly. A pipe was laid to the lake from the Minneapolis reservoir since it was felt this was too valuable a resource to allow it to become a swamp. Apparently, some of the springs have reactivated and with storm run-off, the lake levels have remained adequate without additional pumping of water into it. City of Columbus The City of Columbus is located in east central Anoka County in the northerly portion of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The city is 48 square miles with an elevation of 919 feet at Latitude 45.26 N and Longitude –93.07 W. Wetlands and open water bodies dominate the landscape, as they constitute nearly two-thirds of the city. Some of this area is located within State owned Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), including the Carlos Avery WMA and Lamprey Pass WMA, which make up over one-third of the city. Rural residential uses comprise around Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 34 7,033 acres of land, including 1,683 acres of wetland and floodplain. Over 2,330 acres of land, which are encumbered by neither wetlands nor floodplain, remain vacant or agricultural use. Both Native Americans and the European settlers that followed influence the history of Columbus. Human settlement of areas within Columbus can be traced back to the presence of the Hopewell Tribe of Native Americans. Archeologists believe that the Hopewell Tribe established extensive trading with tribes over the entire continent. Burial mounds are located around Howard Lake in the Lamprey Pass Wildlife Management Area. Three large mounds were discovered in 1889; and it was not until 1977 that an additional three smaller mounds were discovered. Each of these areas are designated and protected as historic sites by the Minnesota Historical Society. In addition, the Minnesota Historical Society believes that remnants of Native American settlements may exist along Kettle River Boulevard northeast of Howard Lake and along Rice Creek. The city supports archeological research prior to or in conjunction with any excavation or building in these areas. The Township of Columbus was platted in 1856 and a Town organization was formed in 1857. Early settlers sought to develop a village center on the St. Paul-Kettle River Road, one of the earliest stage lines to be developed in the State. This site, known as “Boehm’s Corner,” contained a sawmill and hotel. Efforts to encourage the development of a village center met with no success. The Township lost a bid in the mid-1860s for the Anoka County seat and it was passed over as a potential route for the St. Paul-Duluth Railroad. The village center never materialized, and by 1879, the Township abandoned efforts to establish a village at that site. An Administrative Law Judge ordered the incorporation of Columbus in the summer of 2006 following a citizens’ petition and an effort by the Town Board in evaluating the pros and cons of incorporation and finding it in the best interest of the community. The City officially became a city on September 21, 2006. City of Coon Rapids The City of Coon Rapids is a second-ring suburb northwest of Minneapolis, located in suburban Anoka County, Minnesota. The city is approximately 22.7 square miles with an elevation of 863 feet at Latitude 45.17 N and Longitude 93.31 W. It is bordered by the Mississippi River and the city of Anoka to the west; the city of Andover to the north; the city of Blaine to the east; and the city of Fridley to the south. Coon Rapids is the most populous city in Anoka County. When the Federal Government surveyed the area in 1847, it found a well-traveled road running through Anoka County. The road was laid out in 1835 for military use and may be the oldest road in this part of the country. In 1843, trade was established from St. Paul to Pembina in the Red River Valley by Norman W. Kittson and the road then became part of the famous Red River Ox Cart Trail. The trail closely followed the present East River Road/Coon Rapids Boulevard alignment. Agriculture was the first industry in the Coon Creek area, with farms ranging in size from 90 to 600 acres. In 1881, Dr. D. C. Dunham organized the first brickyard, which was located near the old City Hall site and was known as the Anoka Pressed Brick and Terra Cotta Company. It represented the first non-agricultural industry in Coon Rapids. A legacy left by that brick industry is still visible today and is known as the "Clay Hole." In the summer of 1898, the Great Northern Development Company proposed to build a dam below the Coon Creek Rapids with a power generating plant on the east side of the river. The actual construction did not start until 1912. Within one year, a small city had sprung up on the shores of the Mississippi River. Streets were laid out and roughly graded. The City’s population Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 35 grew to over one thousand with laborers and engineers working on the dam. The dam was built by the Mississippi Power Company and was operating by 1914. Northern States Power Company ran the dam until 1969. The Hennepin County Park Board acquired property and it serves as Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park today. With the dam, Anoka Township took on a new name - Coon Creek Rapids that over the years was shortened to Coon Rapids. In July 1948, an election was held in an attempt to incorporate the Township of Anoka as a village. The idea was initially defeated but eventually passed successfully in October of 1952. In keeping with the progressive nature of the community, the voters went to the polls in November of 1957 and changed the form of village government to the Council/Manager plan. Two years later, in June of 1959, the Village of Coon Rapids became the City of Coon Rapids. The city is predominantly a residential community, with some commercial shopping districts and light industry. It is accessible by three major highways and two rail lines. City of East Bethel The City of East Bethel is a rural community that is known as the Northern Gateway to the Twin Cities. The city is located at the northern edge of Anoka County and the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area at Latitude 45.33 N and Longitude 93.21 W, with an elevation of 902 feet. The north side of the city is bordered by Athens Township in Isanti County. On its remaining three sides, it is surrounded by other Anoka County Communities. Linwood Township and a small portion of the City of Columbus border it on the east. The City of Ham Lake borders it on the south. On the west it is bordered by the cities of Oak Grove, St. Francis, and Bethel. East Bethel is approximately 25 miles directly north of the City of Minneapolis. Geographically, the City of East Bethel is one of the largest cities in Minnesota encompassing approximately 48 square miles. The landscape of the community is a gentle undulating plain with vast acres of lakes, parks, open space, and wetlands. This natural environment is often noted as the most important feature and attraction to residents of the community. The City of East Bethel was originally home to the Chippewa Nation. Europeans first settled the area in the 1850s. Settlers originated primarily from Sweden, Norway, England, Ireland, and New Brunswick. Bethel Township was organized in 1858, the same year that Minnesota became a state. The township included all of what is now Linwood Township until 1871, when Linwood Township was organized. The unusually large size of the township originated with lobbying efforts of early Minnesota settlers. Early roads followed native trails or paths. Desiring a better and more direct route to the major market destination of Minneapolis, local residents of Bethel worked with the residents of other townships to the south to obtain a real road. Central Avenue was created in 1900-1901. It later became State Highway 65. This road was graded in 1923-24, blacktopped in 1931, widened in 1951, paved in 1952, and became a divided highway in 1969-70. East Bethel started the process to become a village on May 8, 1957. In a township election, voters approved the change to a village by 232 to 161, but four residents took the matter to court and the incorporation was declared invalid. The matter came before the 1956 Minnesota Legislature. Only one legislator voted against the bill to allow East Bethel to incorporate as a Village. East Bethel became a legal municipality by action of their Town Council on April 27, 1959. The population at the time was 1,286. Some of the most interesting history of East Bethel involves gangster activity. The Ma Barker gang lived in a house near Cedar Creek on Highway 65 for some time. They left Bethel Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 36 Township just before the FBI discovered their hideout. Some local residents also claim that John Dillinger hid out in a cabin on the south shore of Coon Lake for one winter. City of Fridley The City of Fridley is located in southern Anoka County, approximately 9 miles north of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Fridley shares borders with Spring Lake Park, Coon Rapids, Mounds View, New Brighton, Columbia Heights and Minneapolis. On its western border is the Mississippi River. The City of Fridley is 10.2 square miles in size. Fridley is located at Latitude: 45.09 N, Longitude: 93.26 W in Anoka County, with an elevation of 850 feet. Father Louis Hennepin, a Franciscan Monk, and two companions became the first men of European descent to come through Anoka County. What is now Fridley was included in an area that was made part of the province of Quebec. In 1783, the “Treaty of Peace” fixed the United States-Canadian border. In 1803 Fridley was included in the Louisiana Purchase and successively became part of the Northwest Territory, Illinois Territory in 1809, Michigan Territory in 1818, Wisconsin Territory in 1836, and once more unorganized territory in 1848. The Red River Ox Cart Trail passes through Fridley, on what would someday become East River Road, on its way to Pembina, North Dakota. Furs came south and all sorts of supplies came north, from flour to pianos. John Banfill was the area’s first settler in 1847, building a two-story house on the Mississippi River near the mouth of the Rice Creek. In 1851, John Banfill, a territorial senator and Minnesota's first State Auditor, platted the town of Manomin, opened a general store, and erected a sawmill on Rice Creek. The legislature approved $10,000 to improve the trail on the east side of the Mississippi River, to become the first territorial road, from Point Douglas to St. Paul, then to Minneapolis, Anoka and Fort Ripley. It is now known as East River Road. In 1851, Abram M. Fridley, for whom the city was named, settled in Manomin. In1870, Manomin County was annexed by Anoka County and Manomin was granted township status. In 1879, the name was changed to Fridley by act of the Minnesota State Legislature, of which Abraham Fridley was a member. In 1949, Fridley was incorporated as a village. The first Mayor was Carl Hartman who also served as the first police chief and fire chief. In 1857, Manomin County was separated from Ramsey County, becoming the smallest county in the United States with only 18 sections. In 1957, the Village of Fridley became a Home Rule Charter City. About the same time, Fridley experienced an industrial boom. By 1960, Fridley's population swelled to 15,182 residents. On May 6, 1965, Fridley was literally devastated by three tornadoes. One of every four homes was destroyed or damaged. Under the leadership of Mayor Nee and countless other people, the city was rebuilt and again became a prosperous community. In 1974, Fridley celebrated its Silver Anniversary (25 years), which later in 1975 was dubbed '49er Days, this event became an annual city celebration. City of Ham Lake The City of Ham Lake is a thirty-six square mile (23,040 acres) suburb approximately 20 miles north of Minneapolis/St. Paul, located in the middle of Anoka County, with Latitude of 45.25 N and Longitude of 93.20 W and an elevation of 915 feet. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 37 The earliest record of settlers in Ham Lake dates back to 1855, when a group of men settled in the southern part of the area. A year later, they started a town just southwest of the lake shaped like a ham. The town was named Glen Cary, a Scottish name meaning "beautiful valley." The original houses were burned in a prairie fire in 1857, and the settlers moved away. Ham Lake Township, settled in 1857, was attached to Grow Township until 1871 when it was separately organized. It had been previously called Glengarry, a name from Scotland, which its Swedish settlers found difficult to pronounce. The county commissioners therefore named the new township Ham Lake from its lake in sections 16 and 17, which had acquired this name on account of its form. Ham Lake, a city in Ham Lake Township, was incorporated November 13, 1973. In 1880, the census found the population to be 253. In 1903, the first telephone service was available for $6 a year. In the late 1930's, the Rural Electrification provided power to the farm families...to have electric lights by turning a switch was a wonder. In the beginning, there was no mail delivery, but it could be picked up in Anoka. One farmer picked up mail for others so often that his farm became the first post office. The mailing address bore the farmer's name of Jesperson, Minnesota. As recently as 1984, Ham Lake residents were served by four different post offices. In 1985 the U.S. Postal Service consolidated service to Ham Lake through the Anoka Post Office. In the early 1920's there was no bus service and the closest railroad station was in Cedar. Central Avenue (Highway 65) was only a wagon trail through a lot of swampland and sand. Through the years, the road was widened, graded and graveled, and finally hard-surfaced. The additional lanes were added in 1954. City of Hilltop Hilltop is located at Latitude 45.05 N and Longitude 93.25 W in Anoka County, Minnesota, has a land area of .1 square miles and an elevation of 1015 feet. The City of Hilltop is a small community located in the southern portion of Anoka County, Minnesota. Hilltop is located entirely within the City of Columbia Heights, a first-ring suburb located immediately to the northeast of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The city is surrounded on all four sides by the City of Columbia Heights. Hilltop’s northern, eastern, southern and western borders are, respectively, 49th Avenue, State Highway 65, 45th Avenue and Monroe Street. Dairy farmers and a horse stable/riding academy previously used Land in Hilltop. A small community of “trailer camps” developed in the 1940’s. Owners of the camps organized members of the community accomplished incorporation as a city in 1956. Hilltop is a predominantly residential community with a population of 766. Hilltop is a low- income community. Hilltop is fully developed and as such, no significant growth in population, number of households or business is projected. In addition to being completely surrounded by one other city, Hilltop’s signature is manufactured housing, which accounts for 63% of the housing stock. There are also apartments, condominiums and site-built homes. Hilltop’s modest commercial areas are comprised entirely of small retail and business establishments including, but not limited to the following: drug stores, liquor store, restaurants, Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 38 car sales, insurance sales, dental offices, barber shops/salons, flooring store, exercise studio, tobacco store, hardware store, electronics store, and a grocery store. City of Lexington Lexington is located at Latitude 45.13 N and Longitude 93.17 W in Anoka County, Minnesota and has a land area of .7 square miles with an elevation of 909 feet. The City of Lexington is geographically one of the smallest communities in Anoka County. It covers only 440 acres and is located in south central Anoka County. The city of Blaine surrounds Lexington on three sides, the north, the south and the west. The city of Circle Pines borders the east side of Lexington. Lexington was originally an agricultural area beginning about 1855 in south ½ sections 26 and north ½ 35 of what was then Blaine Township (T. 31, R. 23) and not developed at that time. The first development in the community started in the 1940’s. The community was officially incorporated as the City of Lexington May 12, 1950 with a population of 569. City of Lino Lakes Lino Lakes is located in the southeast corner of Anoka County, Minnesota, has an elevation of 889 feet and covers an area of 33 square miles on the north side of the Twin Cities in Anoka County at Latitude 45. 17 N and Longitude 93.10 W. The pristine 5500 - acre Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve is situated within the heart of the city, guaranteeing the area will maintain its natural settings and habitats for wildlife for years to come. When the first settlers arrived in the area, Native Americans had already been making their home in the area where Reshanau, Baldwin, Rice and Marshan Lakes cluster. The Dakota Indians found this to be a land of plenty with wild rice and an abundance of small game. Today, several Indian burial grounds are still located in the area. White hunters and trappers began coming to this area from both Canada and the eastern states around 1850. Those who settled on the west side of the lake had names like Ramsden, Speiser and Wenzel. Families including the Cardinals, LaMottes, Houles and Dupres settled the east side of the lake. Many of their descendants still live in the area today. The first unit of local government in the area was the township of Centerville. It was organized August 11, 1857 and encompassed an area of 36 square miles. The population was less than 300 persons and organized into three loosely knit communities known as the "German settlement" west of the lakes, the "Swede settlement" south of the lakes, and the "French settlement" east of the lakes. In the 1950s neighboring villages started annexing land away from Centerville Township. To protect the boundaries and allow for the financing of public improvements, the residents of the township voted to incorporate into a village. Several names were suggested for the new village, and most contained the word "lakes." Although the origin of the word "Lino" is unknown, a Lino post office operated for about 10 years in the late 1800s. The town board decided to name the new village "Lino Lakes." On May 11, 1955, the new Village of Lino Lakes was incorporated. The village covered the original Centerville Township, with the exception of the Village of Centerville. At incorporation, the new village was comprised of 21,000 acres of land, and 1,800 citizens. In 1972, the State Legislature passed a law changing all Minnesota villages to cities, hence Lino Lakes' current status. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 39 Linwood Township Linwood Township at Latitude 45.37 N and Longitude 93.08 W is a thirty-six square mile community in the northeast corner of Anoka County, and has an elevation of 892 feet. Linwood Township is the last remaining township in Anoka County. Linwood Township first settled in 1855 and organized in 1871, received its name from Linwood Lake, the largest and most attractive one in a series or chain of ten or more lakes extending from northeast to southwest through this township and onward to Ham Lake. The name doubtless refers to the Lin tree or linden. Our American species (Tilia Americana), usually called basswood, is abundant here and is common or frequent through nearly all this state. The township had a post office between 1865-1903, in section 8, as well as a number of small businesses, a general store, and a Methodist church. A series of lakes, tributary in its northern part to the Sunrise River and at the south to Coon Creek, lies in Linwood, Bethel, and Ham Lake Townships. This series includes from northeast to southwest Typo Lake and Martin Lake; Island Lake, named for its island; Linwood Lake, giving its name to the township; Boot Lake, named from its outline; Rice Lake, having wild rice; Coon Lake and Little Coon Lake, named, like the creek, for raccoons, formerly much hunted here; and Lake Netta and Ham Lake, the latter, as before noted, being named from its form and giving name also to its township. Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area is located in the southern and eastern areas of the township. There are three major lakes located in the Township. Linwood has been a community consisting of family farms and cabins located around the three major lakes. The farmland is in the process of being developed to residential homes and the cabins around the lakes have been converted to permanent homes. City of Nowthen The City of Nowthen is located in the northwest corner of Anoka County, Minnesota at Latitude 45.33 N and Longitude 93.44 W and an elevation of 925 feet. The city has a total area of 35.2 miles. Of this total, 33.8 miles is land and 1.4 miles water. The total area is 3.95% water. There are 11 lakes in Nowthen, with Twin Lake being the largest. As of 2010, Nowthen had a total of 19,760 acres as rural residential agricultural use, 795 acres of Commercial/Industrial, 335 acres of Public/Quasi Public, 153 acres of parks and 1,486 acres of water/wetlands/other. Active farming operations exist throughout Nowthen. Continuation of these agricultural activities represents an important land use within the City consistent with the heritage and desired character of the community. Nowthen, formerly Burns Township was established in 1869. Originally Burns Township was a part of the City of St. Francis. The first election in the township was held in 1869 and the first church was built in 1878. On July 8, 2008 Burns Township incorporated into the City of Nowthen. The City of Nowthen has consisted of family owned farms and large parcels of land for many years. Within the last few years, a lot of the farmland has been developed into residential homes. Some of the larger land parcels are still be used for agricultural operations. In 1870 the population in Nowthen was 340 and as of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 4,443. Nowthen has three different school districts covering our community (St. Francis District #15, Anoka District #11 and Elk River District #728 and also three different post offices (zip codes) for our City. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 40 City of Oak Grove The City of Oak Grove is a community in the northwestern quadrant of Anoka County at Latitude 45.34 N and Longitude 93.33 W. It has a land area of 33.7 square miles and an elevation of 915 feet. Its 22,700 acres are bounded by the City of Andover, City of Nowthen, City of East Bethel, and City of St. Francis. The principal water features within the City include the Rum River, Cedar Creek, Seelye Brook, and Lake George. Oak Grove was primarily a farming community but has evolved into an ex-urban bedroom community. Oak Grove Township settled in 1855 and was organized in 1857. "The name is derived from the profuse growth of oak trees, which are about equally distributed over the township" (History of the Upper Mississippi Valley, p. 285). Oak Grove, a village in section 18, located on the Rum River, was first settled in 1854, had a post office between 1857-1901, and was incorporated in 1993. The heart of the City of Oak Grove began at the enclave of Cedar. In 1880, Oak Grove was home to 305 people. The amenity of Lake George attracted seasonal and some year-round residents as well. From those early years until 1950, the population had limited growth. After 1950, Oak Grove’s population has steadily grown. Oak Grove is a residential community with a rural environment. A major east/west and north/south Anoka County Road passes through the City making it close to additional services and cities. There are several small home businesses in Oak Grove, which make it a good place to live and work. The Rum River Tree Farm is an example of a business located in Oak Grove. City of Ramsey The City of Ramsey is located in western Anoka County, approximately 30 miles north of Minneapolis/St Paul at Latitude 45.26 N and Longitude 93.44 W and an elevation of 879 feet. Ramsey has a land area of 28.8 square miles and shares its borders with Anoka, Oak Grove, City of Nowthen and Elk River. On its southern border is the Mississippi River and to the East, Rum River. The City of Ramsey is 29 square miles in size. Ramsey is a suburban city with an estimated population of 26,668. The first settlement in Ramsey began because of trading along the banks of the Mississippi. Many settlers came here on a steamboat called "The Governor Ramsey" named after our first territorial governor. This is how the city acquired the name. Only a few of the first houses and structures built in Ramsey remain today. The most notable structure of historic significance is identified on the National Register of Historic Places, the Old Ramsey Town Hall, located west of Highway 47 just north of County Road 116. This structure was built during the 19th century and was originally used as a schoolhouse. A significant effort has been made to preserve and maintain this building The Township of Ramsey was first organized in 1857 as Watertown Township later to become Ramsey Township in the fall of 1858. The name “Dover” township was also used sometime between Watertown and Ramsey. Ramsey was named after Governor Ramsey, who aside from having a steamboat named after him, was the first territorial governor of Minnesota. In November of 1974, Ramsey Township was incorporated as a city. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 41 Ramsey is a bedroom community, with a mixture of farms, single-family homes on large parcels of land and single-family homes on urban sized lots ranging from starter homes to executive style homes. Senior housing apartments are also available, as well as numerous styles of town homes. The city’s business district is growing with numerous light industrial companies in our three business parks. Along with the abundant tree canopy, natural waterways give shape and identity to the city. The Rum River, with its canopy of flood plain forest, has become an ideal location for many new upper scale homes. Ramsey citizens also have access to the river at the two parks located along its banks, Rum River Central County Park and River’s Bend City Park. The Rum River is also regionally significant as a State Canoe Route and is protected through its designation as a Wild and Scenic River under the Minnesota Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. US Highway 10 (an alternate State Great River Road), and the railroad separate most of Ramsey from the Mississippi River. Except for the flat terrace along Highway 10, the presence of the Mississippi River is not obvious. The Wayside Rest State Park (Daytonport), an undeveloped Mississippi West County Park, and a planned (and partially built) River Corridor Trail are Ramsey’s links to the mighty river. The stretch of the Mississippi River through Ramsey is within the Critical Area Corridor for the Mississippi River and is part of the Mississippi National River & Recreation Area (MNRRA). This stretch of the Mississippi River is also designated as “recreational” under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The Wayside Rest State Park has facilities for camping, drinking water, and canoe launching along the Mississippi River. Surrounded by many wetlands, Trott Brook creates a large natural corridor across the northern part of Ramsey, stretching from the western border east to the Rum River. While Trott Brook has been ditched to relieve residents of water problems, it remains relatively undeveloped along its banks. Other ditches create waterway corridors through northern Ramsey connecting a series of wetlands that drain east into the Rum River. These ditches form the backbone of the sub-watersheds in Ramsey. The city boasts a growing business district. Within this district, there are three business parks, Energy Park, Business Park 1995 and Gateway Park. Since 2007, 225,000 square feet of industrial space has been added. We are proud of our commitment to attract economically and environmentally sound commercial development. The City staff and City Council are working hard to give order and control over future growth to continually provide employment opportunities to the citizens and provide for the future with a steady tax base. The city is proud to have Connexus Energy as the lead employer. Looking ahead, the city is working toward a retail and commercial area that includes restaurants, shopping, entertainment and employment opportunities. Ramsey is served by two school districts, Elk River #278, and Anoka-Hennepin #11. Anoka-Hennepin students have exceeded the state average on the Minnesota Basic Standards in math, reading, and writing. Scores of Anoka-Hennepin students on college entrance exams are well above the national average in all areas tested. The City of Ramsey is home to major employers including Life Fitness/500, Vision Ease/400, Connexus Energy/230, Anderson & Dahlen/160, ALTRON, Inc/104, Command Tooling/84, ACE Solid Waste/80, Zero Zone Refrigeration/59, Wendells/50, Heritage Millwork/45, Airgas North Central/42, and RJM/Gen Paper Products/40. Additionally, the City of Ramsey employs 68 full time staff. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 42 City of St. Francis St. Francis is a city located in the northwest corner of Anoka County, Minnesota at Latitude 45.38 N and Longitude 93.35 W, with an elevation of 922 feet. The city has a total area of 60.91 square kilometers. Of this total, the amount of surface water is .0577 square kilometers. The population in St. Francis was 7218 as of the 2010 census. Once referred to as Otona and established in 1855, St. Francis has seen a transition from being a small sawmill town of old to a center for several state-of-the-art operations. Dwight Woodbury started a sawmill in 1885 at the “new town.” Ezra Randall and Armsby Fowler filed claims and became known as the first settler of St. Francis. Throughout the last couple of years, a lot of land has been developed into residential homes. Some of the larger parcels are still being used to agricultural operations and the city has grown with many retail businesses. Within St. Francis there are commercial retail businesses consisting of County Market grocery store, Dollar General, Quick Trip, Anoka Hennepin Federal Credit Union, Village Bank, St. Francis Physical Therapy, Verizon, St. Francis Eye care, various restaurants, Pond’s Golf Course, American Legion, Anytime Fitness, chiropractic offices and other retailers. Northland Screw Products and Temperature Specialists have flourished in the city business climate. The Rum River County Park in St. Francis consists of 80 acres for camping, sightseeing and fishing including paved limestone aggregated biking/hiking trails. St. Francis has an annual Pioneer Days Festival that is a major attraction as well. City of Spring Lake Park The City of Spring Lake Park is located in Anoka County and Ramsey County at Latitude 45.10 N and Longitude 93.23 W, with an elevation of 915. Spring Lake Park is located in the Northern Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro Area. The City of Fridley to the south, the City of Blaine to the North, and the City of Coon Rapids to its west and the City of Mounds View to the east border Spring Lake Park. The City of Spring Lake Park is predominately a bedroom community with some light industry. The City of Spring Lake Park is home to approximately 6,450 residents and occupies slightly less than three square miles of Anoka County. Spring Lake Park is as close to a demographic image of the State of Minnesota as you’re likely going to find. Browse the latest data from the 2010 census and you’ll see Minnesota’s own Mini-Me. Spring Lake Park stands out as a veritable cross-section of the state. The city is largely made up of tree-lined streets with block after block of tidy ramblers, many built in the suburban rush of the 1950’s and 1960’s. There’s no room for exclusive grated subdivisions and there is no wrong side of the tracks. Spring Lake Park has some commercial and industrial development along Minnesota Highway 65, Minnesota Highway 47 and County Road 10 but has no downtown, no post office, no big shopping center, no library or hospital, though all are close in neighboring communities. From the late 1930’s to the early 1950’s, the area called Spring Lake Park was an area bounded to the west by the Mississippi River, north to the farm area of Blaine Township, east to the Turtle Lake area and south to Columbia Heights, in other words, the Spring lake Park area encompassed all of Fridley Township, part of Blaine and Mounds View. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 43 Spring Lake Park got its name from one of Bronson-Erickson Real Estate salesmen. Due to a leakage from the St. Paul Water Work’s Water Main, between Wood Lake and Osborne Road, (Spring Lake), the salesman thought it to be a spring fed lake and called it “Spring Lake.” A few pioneer citizens resided in the area, most of them owning large lots with cows and horses. Others were farming, but after World War II, when the American suburban expansion began developing, residential area and business places grew by “leaps and bounds.” In the early 1950’s the Village of Fridley incorporated almost the entire southern part of Fridley Township. The north part of the township and parts of Mounds View and Blaine tried to incorporate by means of a referendum, but it failed. The Village of Fridley tried to annex the remainder of the township. It also failed. In December of 1953, the northern part of the township and a small part of Mounds View Township (that portion of Ramsey County) incorporated by a referendum, the portion of Ramsey was included because the fire department was located there and it bore the name Spring Lake Park. The first election of village officers was held in January 1954. At the time of incorporation, the population was approximately 960, with an incorporated area of 1,280 acres. Spring Lake Park is noted not only locally but also throughout the State of Minnesota and possibly elsewhere as the City with the red, white and blue water towers. The City of Spring Lake Park had a city celebration that began in 1972 with many activities scheduled around the beach at Spring Lake. The city celebration ceased in 1974. In 1975, the City Council commissioned a group of community residents to rejuvenate the community celebration for the Bicentennial in 1976. The commission worked very hard and raised enough funds to have the water tower painted after “Old Glory” with stars and stripes in red, white and blue. After painting the water tower, the committee decided to use it as a theme for the community celebration. Since that time, the celebration has been referred to as “Tower Days.” 40B3.1.1 Jurisdiction Environment-Geography and Climate (2019) Anoka County Location Area Elevation SQ.

A person of Hispanic ethnicity is anyone who identifies with that social group, and so can be of any race. This can make data on race and ethnicity difficult to interpret. Race data is also difficult to compare from Census to Census because categories have changed over time. For example, the 2000 Census was the first to offer the category "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander," and those people could have responded in a number of different ways in previous years. The 2000 Census also marked the first time that respondents were allowed to select more than one racial category. On earlier Censuses, multiracial individuals were asked to choose a single racial category or respond as "Some Other Race." * Non-Hispanic only, in and 1990 "Asians" includes Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Age Distribution: When drawn as a "population pyramid," age distribution can hint at patterns of growth. A top-heavy pyramid suggests negative population growth that might be due to a number of factors, including high death rates, low birth rates, and increased emigration from the area. A bottom-heavy pyramid, suggests high birthrates, falling or stable death rates, and the potential for rapid population growth. Most areas fall somewhere between these two extremes and have a population pyramid that resembles a square, indicating slow and sustained growth with the birth rate exceeding the death rate, though not by a great margin. In 2010, the median age in Anoka County was 7.1 years. 26 percent of the population were under 18 years and 9.7 percent were 65 years and older. The age distribution of Anoka County is depicted below. The 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census is used as the basis for all responses. 0 50,000 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 300,000 350,000 White Black or African American American Indian and Alaska Native Asian Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Two or More Races Ethnic Demographics 1990 2000 2010 Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 46 Andover: The Andover total population is 30,598 and is 15,524 (50.7%) male and 15,074 (49.3%) female with the Median resident age of 37.3 years.

Areas of the largest household growth during the 1990s were Coon Rapids, Ramsey, Andover, Blaine, and Lino Lakes. These communities had an ample supply of land within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. Beyond these communities to the north, the County is largely urban- rural with zoning restrictions that limit residential development to primarily large-lot single-family homes. The current MUSA boundary constrains the development of higher housing densities in most of the County. The greatest amount of housing development is occurring in areas with land serviced by municipal sewer and water. Very little multifamily housing will be built in communities in the northern portion of the County, which is not serviced by municipal sewer and water. Land outside the MUSA is being consumed at a rapid pace by the development of housing at lower densities. For example, with an average single-family lot size of 2.5 acres (a typical lot size in the township), the amount of land to develop 100 homes would be about 300 acres (including land for streets), compared to about 33 acres for an average single- family lot size of 12,000 square feet. Thus, the more rural sub markets are consuming land at a pace similar to the more urban sub markets that are adding a much greater amount of housing.

The Hazard Identification section provides background information for these hazards from a broad perspective. It is important that all of these hazards be initially considered for relevance in advancing through the hazard mitigation planning process. Subsequent sections of the Plan—the Hazard Analysis and the Vulnerability Assessment—address the hazards of specific concern to Anoka County in greater detail from a localized perspective. 28B4.2 Hazard Identification The Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee re-considered and re-evaluated all hazards in terms of their potential risk to Anoka County and participating municipalities that were included in the 2013 plan. The State of Minnesota Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies Blizzards and Ice Storms individually. For the purpose of this mitigation plan those hazards are combined under Winter Weather. In addition, Lightning, Windstorm and Hailstorm were individually identified. As those hazards are almost always encountered during thunderstorms, they are combined under the Thunderstorm category. Infectious disease is a category that was re-categorized under Epidemics/Pandemics, which also includes Vectors. Water contamination is categorized under public utilities and radiological is categorized under Hazardous Materials. Depicted in the table below is a comprehensive, listing of specific hazards that are identified by FEMA, the State of Minnesota Hazard Mitigation Plan and Anoka County as hazards that may potentially threaten Anoka County and its municipalities. It is followed by brief definitions or descriptions of each hazard. During the current update for the Hazard Mitigation Plan, the Manmade Hazard of Illegal Methamphetamine Labs was reviewed. During the previous five years there have been no reported Illegal Methamphetamine Labs found in Anoka County. This item has been replaced with Active Violence / Active Shooter due to the increased number of incidents occurring across the United States and in increase in awareness of Active Violence / Active Shooter events and the need to have response plans in place for these types of incidents. Multi-hazard Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(i): [The risk assessment shall include a] description of the type of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. A. Does the plan include a description of the types of all natural hazards that affect the jurisdiction? If the hazard identification omits (without explanation) any hazards commonly recognized as threats to the jurisdiction, this part of the plan cannot receive a Satisfactory score. Consult with the State Hazard Mitigation Officer to identify applicable hazards that may occur in the planning area. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 74 Summary of Natural and Manmade Hazard Threats to Minnesota Communities Natural Hazards Manmade Hazards Earthquake Attack - Conventional/Nuclear Flooding/Flash Flooding Civil Disturbance/Strikes/Workplace Violence Landslides/Mudslides Dam Failure Land Subsidence Sinkholes Caves Mines Hazardous Material Incidents Pandemics/Vectors Fixed Facilities Severe Weather Radiological Facilities Drought Transportation Extreme Temperatures Hostage Situation Thunderstorm/Hail/High Winds/Lightning Active Violence / Active Shooter Tornadoes Terrorism CBRNE-Cyber Tropical Storms/Hurricanes Transportation Accident Winter Storm Urban Fire Wildfire Utility Power/Water Contamination Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 75 46B4.2.1 Natural Hazards 79B4.2.1.1 Earthquake An earthquake is a naturally induced shaking of the ground, caused fractures and sliding of rock within the Earth's crust. Earthquake magnitude is determined by the dimensions of the rupturing fracture (fault) and the amount of displacement that takes place. The larger the fault surface and displacement, the greater the energy produced. This energy produces shaking and a variety of seismic waves that radiate throughout the Earth. Earthquake magnitude is measured using the Richter Scale Table (referenced at 4.3.1.1) and earthquake intensity (how strong an earthquake was felt at a given site) is measured using the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale. Most property damage and earthquake-related deaths are caused by the failure and collapse of structures due to ground shaking. The level of damage depends upon the amplitude and duration of the shaking, which are directly related to the earthquake size, distance from the fault, site, and regional geology. Other damaging earthquake effects include landslides and liquefaction. Earthquakes can affect hundreds of thousands of square miles, cause damage to property measured in the tens of billions of dollars, loss of life and injury to hundreds of thousands of persons and disrupt the social and economic functioning of the affected area. 80B4.2.1.2 Flooding Flooding is an overflowing of water onto normally dry land and is one of the most significant and costly of natural disasters. Three principle types of floods are riverine floods, flash floods, and dam break floods. Riverine floods result from precipitation over large areas and occur in river systems whose tributaries may drain large geographic areas. Flash floods usually result from a torrential rain on a relatively small drainage area and produce localized floods of great volume and short duration. Areal floods Areal Flood Warning is issued for flooding that occurs more gradually, normally from prolonged and persistent moderate to heavy rainfall. Dam break floods are usually the result of intense rainfall producing flooding larger than dam design, faulty design, construction, or operational inadequacies. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 76 81B4.2.1.3 Landslides/Mudslides Landslides (rockslides, mudslides, etc.) are among the most common natural hazards. Unlike most natural hazards, however, most damage is not caused by extreme events, but by uncounted (and often unreported) minor events. Slumps usually damage utilities within or below the slide mass, but seldom cause a threat to life. Flows, in addition to the above hazards can flow around well-built structures, preserving them but causing damage from water and mud. Translational slides can be the most catastrophic. In addition to presenting a hazard to structures and utilities, they can cause damage and death both far from and only slightly below the source. The hazards associated with landslides are as diverse as the types of failure. Falls may damage roads or buildings at the base of a steep slope, injure climbers, or remain on a road as a hazard to transportation. In addition to the direct hazards of a landslide moving out from under or onto structures or utilities, there is a major indirect hazard. Large slides generally do not stop moving until they reach the bottom of a valley where they block streams, usually resulting in flooding and damage to the system ecology (e.g. sediment). 82B4.2.1.4 Land Subsidence Subsidence is the formation of depressions, cracks, and sinkholes in the earth's surface, which normally occurs over many days to a few years. Karst topography develops when beds of relatively soft limestone and dolomite are present. The diluted organic acids present in water percolates downward and dissolves these formations. In such places, rock is honeycombed with cracks, fissures and potentially sizable caverns, which can collapse. In some areas, natural drainage occurs primarily below ground rather than surface streams. These underground passages are commonly connected to the surface by funnel-shaped depressions called sinkholes. The formation of these sinkholes often leads to ground subsidence or collapse. This results from the settlement of collapse of overlying materials into solution openings beneath the surface, such as caves or enlarged joints. Sinkhole development is usually a slow process; however, they may occur suddenly, without warning. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 77 Abandoned mines, mineshafts, and tunnels sometimes give way. Incidence of subsidence is always a danger to property, dams, factories, and utility lines, but when sudden failures occur, they can also threaten lives. 83B4.2.1.5 Infectious Diseases/Vectors Pandemics occur when disease affects large numbers of the population worldwide. Epidemics occur when large numbers are affected in a more localized area such as a city, region, state, or nation. Pandemics have occurred three times in the world’s human population. The 1918-1919 Spanish Flu caused the highest number of deaths. India had 16 million deaths. The U.S. had 675,000 deaths. Worldwide, the estimated fatalities were 20 million to 50 million. The 1957-58 Asian Flu was identified in February 1957 in China. By June, it entered the U.S. Globally it caused a million deaths. In the U.S., 70,000 persons died. It was a Type A virus. The 1968-69 Hong Kong Flu caused four million deaths worldwide and 34,000 deaths in the U.S. It was a Type A virus. Influenza occurs every year and nations attempt to prepare for the “flu season” which brings one to two weeks of symptoms, even pneumonia and death. The cost in the U.S. is $71 to $167 billion annually. Some 36,000 in the U.S. and 250,000 to 500,000 worldwide die annually. Three types of influenza viruses exist: A, B, and C. Type A viruses are of most concern for humans, pigs, marine mammals and birds. Type B virus has been identified in the seal population and is fatal. Influenza C virus is associated with ticks. Influenza viruses are constantly evolving. The viruses undergo minor and major modifications through antigentic drift and antigentic shift. Antigentic drift is the mechanism responsible for creating small changes in the genetic composition of the virus. Antigentic drift occurs in Type A and B influenza. Antigentic shift describes significant changes in the genetic structure of the virus. It occurs only in type “A” when two different virus strains are simultaneously present in a host or after transmission of viruses from different hosts. The two viruses swap genetic material creating a “new” virus never before seen. The ability to jump species, the constant changes in the generic makeup of the influenza virus, the potential for vaccine loss, and the rapid spread of Flu viruses are some of the reasons influenza is always a threat to the world’s population. In October of 2009 three inmates at the county jail and three deputies contracting the flu virus. The response included vaccinating personnel within the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office in additional to setting up community H1N1 vaccine clinics. Avian flu was first discovered in Canada. It is estimated that 50% of wild ducks in Canada carry various forms of the flu. Highly infectious forms are destructive to domestic poultry causing a rise in food costs. Three strains of avian influenza viruses are known to jump the species barrier from birds to non-human animals to humans: A(H9n2), A(H7N7) and A(H5N1). A(H5N1) is the most lethal, causing death in 68% of humans infected with it. Coughing or sneezing, victims spew infectious droplets at a rate of 150 feet per second. Shaking hands or contact with contaminated public washrooms and doorknobs can spread the disease very quickly. Scientists expect that an Avian H5 Flu virus, which has swept through chickens and other poultry in Asia, will change genetically into a flu that can be transmitted to humans. It has emerged as a highly pathogenic strain of influenza virus that is affecting the entire western Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 78 component of Asia. The CDC is preparing for a possible pandemic. Humans have no immunity to this new avian flu. Small Pox (variola major) was last seen in the US in 1949. The last naturally occurring case was in Somalia in 1977. Smallpox vaccination in the US ended in 1972 except for military personnel. When smallpox was considered eradicated worldwide, only two laboratories were designated to keep the virus. One lab was the CDC in Atlanta, Georgia, and the other lab was in Russia. When the USSR break-up occurred, the location of Russia’s smallpox virus became unknown. It was widely thought that at least four other countries received part of the virus. Variola is classified as a biological weapon, included on the “A” list by the CDC. The virus can be transmitted from person to person, may result in high mortality rate (30%), and cause panic and social disruption. Variola has a moderate to high potential for large-scale dissemination and requires special action for public health preparedness and response. Hepatitis A Virus results from eating food or drinking water contaminated with human excrement. Outbreaks are associated with consumption of produce. Hepatitis A virus attacks the liver, is highly infectious, and can lead to varying degrees of illness, hospitalization and death. Emerging Pathogens: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) started in China in late 2002. The World Health Organization reported 29 countries were affected by the end of July 2003. There were 8,500 cumulative cases and 774 deaths. Health care workers accounted for 1,707 cases. In the United States, 29 cases were confirmed. SARS is closely associated with influenza and is of major concern to all public health officials. The Unity Campus of Mercy Hospital has been identified as one of four locations that would provide care for suspected Ebola cases in Minnesota. The plan provides the best opportunity to treat Ebola patients and ensures the state’s Level I trauma centers can continue to serve the region’s trauma care needs. In addition, the state would be in consultation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about whether a patient should be transferred to one of the four federal biocontainment facilities. Emerging Pathogens: Monkey Pox Virus is an orthopoxvirus, which also includes cowpox and smallpox. It is a viral disease occurring in the rain forests of central and West Africa. Monkey pox is milder than smallpox. It was seen in the US June 14, 2003. It was introduced to this country by prairie dogs infected by Gambian rats imported by a distributor of exotic pets. By June 18, 2003, 87 persons in six states were confirmed with the virus. Animal and Vector-Based Hazards; One of the "new" or "emerging" series of threats to communities is vector- based threats - bacteria, insects, and animals, that pose a direct or indirect hazard to humans, their food supply, or the economy. Although many people don't consider Foot and Mouth Disease to be a "threat," an outbreak of the disease in Europe caused widespread concern over the safety of the meat supply, as well as the possibility of resulting infection of humans. Federal, state and local officials, including the emergency services community, have plans and procedures for handling incidents involving these threats. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 79 84B4.2.1.6 Severe Weather - Drought Drought occurs when water supplies cannot meet established demands. Severe drought conditions endanger livestock and crops and significantly reduce surface and ground water supplies, increasing the potential risk for wildfires, and causing significant economic loss. Drought may not be constant or predictable and does not begin or end on any schedule. Long-term droughts last for periods of two to ten years. Droughts are classified as the following types: • Meteorological drought is defined by the level of “dryness” when compared to an average, or normal, amount of precipitation over a given period of time. • Agricultural drought relates characteristics of drought to specific agricultural- related impacts. Emphasis is placed on factors such as soil water deficits, water needs based on differing stages of crop development, and water reservoir levels. • Hydrological drought is directly related to the effect of precipitation shortfalls on surface and groundwater supplies. Changes in land use can alter the hydrologic characteristics of a basin. • Socio-economic drought is the result of water shortages that limit the ability to supply water-dependent products in the marketplace. 85B4.2.1.7 Severe Weather - Extreme Temperature Extreme heat is defined as temperatures that hover ten degrees or more above the average high temperature for the region and last for several weeks. Health risks from extreme heat include heat cramps, heat fainting, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. According to the National Weather Service, heat is the leading weather-related killer in the United States and has killed more people than lightning, tornadoes, floods, and hurricanes combined in the last 10 years. The effects of extreme heat are: Heat Stroke: Body’s inability to control its temperature. Temperature will rise rapidly. Sweating does not occur. This can cause permanent disability. Highest risk populations include outdoor laborers, elderly, children, and people with poor health. Heat Exhaustion: Occurs when there is an excessive loss of water and salt released in sweat. Those at highest risk include the elderly, people with high blood pressure, outdoor laborers, and those exercising outdoors. Heat Syncope: Results in a sudden loss of consciousness, which generally returns when the person lies down. There is little or no permanent harm as a result of heat syncope. This disorder is usually associated with people who are not properly acclimated to the weather. Heat Cramps: Occurs as a result of a mild fluid and electrolyte imbalance and generally ceases to be a problem after becoming accustomed to the heat. This occurs in people who exercise outdoors when they are not used to the activity. 86B4.2.1.8 Severe Weather - Thunderstorms Thunderstorms are formed from a combination of moisture, rapidly rising warm air, and a force capable of lifting air (such as a sea breeze, a warm and cold front, or a mountain). Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 80 Thunderstorms may occur singly, in clusters, or in lines. Some of the most severe weather occurs when a single thunderstorm affects one location for an extended time. Straight-line winds can exceed 100 miles per hour and are responsible for most thunderstorm damage. One type of straight-line wind, the downburst, can cause damage equivalent to a tornado. Thunderstorms are associated with tornadoes and heavy rains that lead to floods. All thunderstorms contain lightning, which is an electrical discharge that results from the buildup of positive and negative charges. When the buildup becomes strong enough, lightning appears as a "bolt." This flash of light usually occurs within the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. A bolt of lightning reaches a temperature approaching 50,000° F in a split second. In the United States, 27 citizens are killed each year by lightning on average. Lightning's electrical charge and intense heat electrocutes on contact, splits trees and ignites fires. Hail is produced by many strong thunderstorms and is a product of the updrafts and downdrafts that develop inside the clouds of a thunderstorm where super cooled water droplets exist. The transformation of droplets to ice requires a temperature below 32° F, and a catalyst in the form of tiny particles of solid matter, or freezing nuclei. Hail can be smaller than a pea or as large as softballs and can be destructive to property, crops, livestock, and people. 87B4.2.1.9 Severe Weather - Tornados Tornados are violent windstorms characterized by a twisting, funnel-shaped cloud. A tornado is spawned by a thunderstorm or hurricane and produced when cool air overrides a layer of warm air, forcing the warm air to rise rapidly. A funnel does not need to reach to the ground for a tornado to be present. A debris cloud beneath a thunderstorm is all that is needed to confirm the presence of a tornado. The damage from a tornado is a result of the high wind velocity and wind-blown debris. Tornados can occur at any time of the year; however, the season is generally March through August. Over 80% of all tornadoes strike between noon and midnight. The most violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction with wind speeds of 250 mph or more. Damage paths can be in excess of 1 mile wide and 50 miles long. Even with advances in meteorology, adequate warning time for tornadoes is short or sometimes not possible. The intensity, path length, and width of tornadoes are rated according to a scale developed by T. Theodore Fujita and Allen D. Pearson. The Fujita-Pearson Tornado Scale is presented below. Tornadoes classified as EF0-EF1 are considered weak, those classified as EF2-EF3 are considered strong, while those classified as EF4-EF5 are considered violent. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 81 Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale Description Table EF- Scale Damage Winds (mph) Description EF-0 Light 65-85 Chimney damage, tree branches broken EF-1 Moderate 86-110 Mobile homes overturned EF-2 Considerable 111-135 Considerable damage, trees downed, mobile homes demolished EF-3 Severe 136-165 Roofs/walls torn down, trains and cars overturned EF-4 Devastating 166-200 Well-constructed walls leveled EF-5 Incredible 200 + Homes lifted off foundation and carried considerable distances 88B4.2.1.10 Severe Weather - Tropical Storm/Hurricane A hurricane is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour or more. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral around a relative calm center known as the "eye." The "eye" is generally 20 to 30 miles wide, and the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane approaches, the skies will begin to darken and winds will grow in strength. As a hurricane nears land, it can bring torrential rains, high winds, and storm surges. A single hurricane can last for more than 2 weeks over open waters and can run a path across the entire length of the eastern seaboard. August and September are peak months during the hurricane season that lasts from June 1 through November 30. The center, or eye, of a hurricane is relatively calm. The most violent activity takes place in the area immediately around the eye, called the eye wall. At the top of the eye wall (about 50,000 feet), most of the air is propelled outward, increasing the air's upward motion. Some of the air, however, moves inward and sinks into the eye, creating a cloud-free area. Tropical cyclones are classified as follows: Tropical Depression An organized system of clouds and thunderstorms with a defined circulation and maximum sustained winds of 38 mph (33 knots) or less. Tropical Storm An organized system of strong thunderstorms with a defined circulation and maximum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph (34-63 knots). Hurricane An intense tropical weather system with a well-defined circulation and maximum sustained winds of 74 mph (64 knots) or higher. Hurricanes are called "typhoons" in the western Pacific, while similar storms in the Indian Ocean are called "cyclones." Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 82 89B4.2.1.11 Severe Weather - Winter Storms Winter storms produce an array of hazardous weather conditions including heavy snow, blizzards, freezing rain, ice pellets, and extreme cold. The extreme cold associated with winter storms is a deceptive killer as it indirectly causes injury and death resulting from exhaustion and overexertion, asphyxiation, hypothermia, and frostbite from wind chill. Extreme ice and snow events are the most potentially disruptive to society, for they can bring down trees and power lines and lead to roof collapse. All forms of severe winter weather can make travel treacherous. Severe winter storms are extra-tropical cyclones (storms that form outside of the warm tropics) fueled by strong temperature gradients and an active upper-level jet stream. 90B4.2.1.12 Wildfires Wildfires are uncontrolled burning of grasslands, brush, or woodlands. According to FEMA, people start over four out of five forest fires. Negligent human behavior such as irresponsible smoking or not extinguishing campfires is the cause of many fires. The other primary causes of forest fires are lightning and arson. There are three different classes of wild-land fires. A surface fire is the most common type and burns along the floor of a forest, moving slowly and killing or damaging trees. A ground fire is usually started by lightning and burns on or below the forest floor. Crown fires spread rapidly by wind and move quickly by jumping along the tops of trees. Wild-land fires are usually signaled by dense smoke that fills the area for miles around. The potential for wildfire depends upon surface fuel characteristics, recent climate conditions, current meteorological conditions, and fire behavior. Hot, dry summers and dry vegetation increase susceptibility to fire in the fall, a particularly dangerous time of year for wildfire. Wild-land fires are wildfires in an area where development is essentially nonexistent except for roads, railroads, power-lines, and similar facilities. Urban wild-land interface fires are wildfires in a geographical area where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with wild-land or vegetative fuels. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 83 47B4.2.2 Manmade Hazards 91B4.2.2.1 Attack An "enemy attack" is considered an attack of one sovereign government against another as a declared or undeclared act of war. Although the chances of a strike on the U.S. have greatly diminished, several countries throughout the world have developed nuclear capability. In addition, the possibility exists that a terrorist organization might acquire nuclear weapons. There are four primary potential effects experienced as the result of a nuclear bomb. Overpressure: is when a nuclear weapon explodes in the atmosphere, a blast or shock wave is created that initially moves at speeds higher than the speed of sound. INR/EMP: Initial nuclear radiation (INR) is radiation in the first minute after detonation and is hazardous to unprotected people within about 1.5 miles. Electromagnetic radiation pulse (EMP) is conversion of nuclear energy into electromagnetic frequency and occurs when a nuclear weapon is detonated outside of earth’s atmosphere. EMP disrupts electrical and electronic equipment across entire continents. The equipment is unusable until repaired. Fire Risk: The combined effects of blast overpressure damage and the thermal pulse or fireball can ignite combustible materials, causing sustained fires. Primary fires are those ignited directly by the thermal pulse. Secondary fires are generated by damage and destruction from blast overpressures and result from the disruption of furnaces and gas and electric lines. Fallout risk: A nuclear explosion near the ground makes a big crater. Earth from the crater is changed from solids into hot gas and fine dust. This hot gas and dust, together with vaporized materials, form a giant fireball that rises rapidly and becomes the top part of the nuclear mushroom cloud. The heavier particles of earth become the stem of the mushroom cloud. The earth in the stem and in the mushroom cloud becomes radioactive. The top of the mushroom is a cloud of fine particles. The heavier, larger particles settle close to the point of explosion, the small particles float several hundred miles in the wind. The first 24 hours is the most dangerous period as the initial fallout is highly radioactive. The delayed fallout particles lose much of their radioactivity and reaches earth in rain or snow over periods ranging from days to years. The three kinds of dangerous radiation in fallout are alpha, beta and gamma. Gamma radiation penetrates the body, causing damage to organs, blood and bones. Large doses of gamma radiation can cause sickness or death. Small doses incurred over a long period of time may not have an immediate effect but may cause various forms of illness later in life. Genetic damage in subsequent generations may also result. Alpha radiation is stopped by the outer skin layers and does not usually present an external hazard. However, if contaminated air, food, or water enters the body in sufficient quantity, considerable internal damage can occur. Beta radiation is more penetrating and may cause burns where fallout particles have deposited on the skin. The effects of a nuclear attack have varying effects on populations. Those people located near the explosion would be killed or seriously injured by the blast, heat, or initial nuclear radiation. People a few miles away would be subject to blast, heat, and fires. A high percentage of the population residing in the lighter damaged areas would probably survive but might subsequently be endangered by radioactive fallout. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 84 92B4.2.2.2 Civil Disturbance/Strikes/Workplace Violence Civil disorder is defined as any incident intended to disrupt community affairs and threaten the public safety. Civil disorders include: riots mob or strike violence, and any demonstration resulting in police intervention and arrests. Workplace Violence is defined as employees who are exposed to the use of harassment, intimidation, physical force, or the abuse of power or authority, where the intent is to control by causing pain, fear or hurt. 93B4.2.2.3 Dam/Levee Failure A dam/levee is a barrier constructed across a watercourse for the purpose of storage, control, or diversion of water. Dams generally fall into the following categories Earth Dams make up the vast majority of dams and are safe if they are properly constructed and maintained. Concrete Gravity Dams are designed to resist sliding and shaped to resist overturning. Arch Concrete Dams are used to narrow sites and have strong abutments. Gravity Arch Concrete Dams are a conservative design of the Arch. Buttress Concrete Dams have a strong foundation and are resistant to sliding, overturning and overflowing. Stone Masonry Dams are constructed of stone or block with masonry joints. Dam break floods are usually associated with intense rainfall or flood conditions. Dam failure may be caused by faulty design, construction and operational inadequacies, or a flood event larger than the dam design. The degree and extent of damage depends on the size of the dam. The greatest threat to people and property is in the area immediately below the dam since flood discharges decrease as the flood wave moves downstream. A small dam retaining water in a stock pond may result in little damage, but could result in the loss of irrigation water, causing financial hardship to farmers. Failure of a larger dam failure might bring about considerable loss of property, destruction of cropland, roads, and utilities, and loss of life. Far-reaching consequences can include loss of income, disruption of services, and environmental devastation. 94B4.2.2.4 Hazardous Materials Incident Hazardous materials are chemical substances, when, released or misused, pose a threat to the environment or health. These chemicals are used in industry, agriculture, medicine, research, and consumer goods. Hazardous materials come in the form of explosives, flammable and combustible substances, poisons, and radioactive materials. These substances are most often released as a result of transportation or industrial accidents. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 85 Hazardous materials in various forms can cause death, serious injury, long-lasting health effects, and damage to buildings, homes, and other property. Many products containing hazardous chemicals are used and stored in homes. Varying quantities of hazardous materials are manufactured, used, or stored at an estimated 4.5 million facilities in the United States-- from major industrial plants to local dry-cleaning establishments or gardening supply stores. Hazardous materials are transported by highway, railway, waterway, and pipeline daily, so any area is considered vulnerable to an accident. Hazardous materials incidents typically take three forms: fixed facility incidents, transportation incidents/pipeline incidents and radiological incidents. It is reasonably possible to identify and prepare for a fixed site incident, as laws require those facilities to notify state and local authorities about what is being used or produced. Transportation and pipeline incidents are much harder to prepare for, as the material involved and the incident location are not known until the accident actually happens. Fixed Facility Incident is any occurrence of uncontrolled release of materials from a fixed site that poses a risk to health, safety, and property as determined in the EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. These materials are classed identically to those specified in the section on transportation accidents. Radiological Incident is defined as the unintentional exposure to materials that emit ionizing radiation. Nuclear power plants are a significant potential source of ionizing radiation. The health and environment impacts from the Three-Mile Island and Chernobyl, Russia disasters illustrate the potential hazards from nuclear power plants. Other sources of ionizing radiation include medical and diagnostic X-ray machines, certain surveying instruments, some imaging systems used to check pipelines, radioactive sources used to calibrate radiation detection instruments, and even some household fire detectors. Transportation/Pipeline Incident is any occurrence of a hazardous material release during transport that poses a risk to health, safety, and property, as defined by Department of Transportation materials transport regulations. Hazardous materials transportation incidents can occur at any place, although the majority occurs on interstate highways, major federal or state highways, or on the major rail lines. 95B4.2.2.5 Hostage Situation A hostage situation is one in which people are held against their will and negotiations take place for their release. The situation may range from a simple domestic or isolated criminal act to an attempt to impose will on a national or international scale to intimidate or coerce a government to further a political, social, or religious objective. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 86 96B4.2.2.6 Active Violence Active Violence includes an active shooter/ hostile intruder who is actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area by any means including but not limited to firearms (most frequently used), bladed weapons, vehicles, or any tool that in the circumstance in which it is used constitutes deadly physical force. 97B4.2.2.7 Terrorism The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism as “the unlawful use of force against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in the furtherance of political or social objectives.” Events typically would be expected in urban areas near public gatherings, government facilities, or highly visible areas, but no one area is less likely to be a target than any other. Terrorism is the use of force or violence against people or property for the purposes of intimidation, coercion, or ransom. Terrorists use threats to create fear among the public, to convince citizens that governments are powerless to prevent terrorism, and to get publicity. Most terrorist incidents have involved small extremist groups who use terrorism to achieve a designated objective. Local, state and federal law enforcement officials monitor suspected terrorist groups and try to prevent or protect against a potential attack. Additionally, the U. S. Government works with other countries to limit support for terrorism. The FBI categorizes terrorism in the United States primarily as one of two types - domestic terrorism or international terrorism. • Domestic terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are directed at elements of our government or population without foreign direction. • International terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are foreign-based and/or directed by countries or groups outside the U. S., or whose activities transcend national boundaries. Terrorist events in this country have included the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York, the U. S. Capitol, Mobil Oil's corporate headquarters in New York City, and the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City. More recently, the World Trade Center Buildings and the Pentagon were the targets of a well- planned terrorist attack involving the use of commercial aircraft as flying bombs. A terrorist attack can take several forms, depending on the technical means available to the terrorist, the nature of the political issue motivating the attack, and the points of weakness of the terrorist's target. Bombings are the most frequently used method in the U. S. Other possibilities include an attack at transportation facilities, utility systems or other public services, or an incident involving chemical or biological agents. Chemical & biological weapons: There are four major categories under which the chemical agents may be classified: Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 87 • Blister agents are intended to incapacitate, rather than kill. These agents were used extensively during World War I. Their use by a terrorist group largely depends on the group’s objectives and moral views. If the intent of an attack were to injure numerous people and overload the area’s medical facilities without causing many deaths, then a blister agent would be the best choice. • Choking agents were the agents most used during WW I. With the advent of nerve agents, they have lost much of their usefulness. These substances are intended to cause death and are convenient and readily available to terrorists. • Blood agents are cyanide-based compounds. Unsuited for use on multitudes of people, the primary use would be the assassination of targeted individuals. • Nerve agents are the most recently developed chemical weapons. Originally developed by German scientists 1930's as insecticides, nerve agents were used as chemical weapons by the Nazi military. Hundreds of times more lethal than blister, choking, or blood agents, nerve agents have been stockpiled as the primary chemical weapon. These chemicals are the most useful to terrorists due to the small quantity needed to inflict a substantial amount of damage. Fortunately, these chemicals are more difficult to obtain. Several nations have developed biological agents to use in warfare. Such agents are selected or adapted from bacteria, fungi, viruses, or toxins that cause various diseases in humans, animals, or food crops. Currently, the development of biological agents as weapons has kept pace with our ever-evolving day-to-day technology. Despite the widespread ban, international diplomatic efforts have not been entirely effective in preventing the enhancement and proliferation of offensive biological warfare programs. Cyber-Terrorism: The U.S. interest in promoting cyber-security extends well beyond its borders. Critical domestic information infrastructures are directly linked with Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, and South America. The nation’s economy and security depend on far-flung U.S. corporations, military forces and foreign trading partners that require secure and reliable global information networks to function. The vast majority of cyber-attacks originates or passes through systems abroad, crosses several borders, and requires international cooperation to stop. In 1998, the United States received a wake-up call to the national security dimensions of the threat. Eventually dubbed "Solar Sunrise," this incident found U.S. military systems under electronic assault, with computer systems in the United Arab Emirates the apparent source. Unclassified logistics, administrative, and accounting systems essential to the management and deployment of military forces were penetrated at a time that military action was being considered against Iraq. The timing of the attacks raised U.S. suspicion that this was the first wave of a major cyber-attack by a hostile nation. It was eventually learned that two California teenagers under the guidance and direction of a sophisticated Israeli hacker, himself a teenager, had orchestrated the attacks using hacker tools readily available on the Internet. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 88 Another event illustrated the threat to the global economy no less starkly. Early in February 2000, computer servers hosting several of the largest commercial web sites on the Internet were flooded with connection requests, which clogged systems and consumed server capacity. Ultimately, these distributed denial-of-service attacks paralyzed large parts of the Internet. Only through close cooperation between U.S. and Canadian law enforcement investigators was it discovered that a Canadian teenager had been breaking into legions of computers around the world for many months. Retaining control over these compromised servers, he created a "zombie army" which on command would flood the servers of his next corporate victim. The cost of slowdowns and outages that occurred was an estimated billion dollars in economic losses. Only a few months later, on the morning of May 4, 2000, the "I love you" virus began infecting computers around the globe. First detected in Asia, this virus quickly swept around the world in a wave of indiscriminate attacks on government and private sector networks. By the time the destructive pace of the virus had been slowed, it had infected nearly 60 million computers and caused billions of dollars in damage. Cooperation among law enforcement authorities around the world led to the identification of the perpetrator, a computer science dropout in the Philippines. He was neither charged nor punished for his deeds because, at the time, the Philippine criminal code did not explicitly outlaw such actions. Together, these incidents make clear that U.S. domestic efforts alone cannot deter or prevent cyber-attacks. We must work closely with our international partners to put into place those cooperative mechanisms that can help prevent the damage of such attacks. 98B4.2.2.8 Transportation Accident A transportation accident is an incident related to a mode of transportation (highway, air, rail, waterway, port, and harbor) where an emergency response is necessary to protect life and property. These are incidents involving air or rail passenger travel resulting in mass casualties or mass fatalities, and incidents the release, or potential release, of hazardous materials. Common day- to-day highway accidents are excluded because they are generally handled without emergency management organization involvement. 99B4.2.2.9 Urban Fire Fire is a rapid, persistent chemical reaction that releases heat and light, especially the exothermic combination of a combustible substance with oxygen. A fire is categorized as both a natural hazard and a technological hazard. An urban fire is any instance of uncontrolled burning which results in major structural damage to large residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, or other properties in developed areas. Generally, a large structure is defined as any structure exceeding 25,000 square feet. Large structural fires therefore would include fully involved structures of this size or greater. Multiple stories may be involved as well and constitute square footage. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 89 Almost every county has at least one city that has significant development including a downtown area, industrial park, hospital, government center, churches, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and multiple-story buildings. Each of these locations is a prime target for urban fire events. 100B4.2.2.10 Utility Failure – Power – Water Contamination A major electrical power failure is defined as a failure of the electrical distribution system that will exceed twenty-four hours in duration and affect greater than 33% of the geographical area of the county. Electrical distribution systems can be interrupted for a number of reasons, but those that have historically been the main cause are high winds, severe thunderstorms and winter storms. A prolonged major electrical distribution system failure during the middle of winter, accompanied by very cold temperatures, can have dramatic effects on a population Drinking water comes from surface water and from ground water. Large-scale water supply systems tend to rely on surface water resources such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Smaller water systems tend to use ground water pumped from wells that are drilled into aquifers, geologic formations that contain water. Microbiological and chemical contaminants can enter water supplies. Chemicals can each through soils from leaking underground storage tanks, feedlots and waste disposal sites. Human wastes and pesticides can also be carried to lakes and streams during heavy rains or snow melt. 29B4.3 Hazard Analysis The Hazard Analysis section focuses on those hazards initially identified in the Hazard Identification section and that are of particular concern and relevance to Anoka County. This section provides specific historical occurrences in Anoka County and identifies the future potential for a hazard event to occur. This includes identifying location and spatial extent of the event and best available data regarding the impact on the county. The table below is a comprehensive listing of specific hazards that are identified by the State of Minnesota Hazard Mitigation Plan to potentially threaten Minnesota communities. All of these hazards were initially considered for relevance in the hazard mitigation planning process. The table below indicates the specific hazard types identified by Anoka County for further study and analysis. 44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(2): The plan shall include a risk assessment that provides the factual basis for activities proposed in the strategy to reduce losses from identified hazards. Local risk assessments must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 90 Summary of Natural and Manmade Hazard Threats to Minnesota Communities Natural Hazards Manmade Hazards Earthquake Attack - Conventional/Nuclear X Flooding/Flash Flooding Civil Disturbance/Strikes/Workplace Violence Landslides/Mudslides Dam Failure Land Subsidence Sinkholes Caves Mines X Hazardous Material Incidents X Pandemics/Vectors Fixed Facilities Severe Weather Radiological Facilities Drought Transportation/Pipeline Extreme Temperatures Hostage Situation X Thunderstorm/Hail/High Winds/Lightning X Active Violence / Active Shooter X Tornadoes X Terrorism CBRNE-Cyber Tropical Storms/Hurricanes Transportation Accident X Winter Storm X Urban Fire X Wildfire Utility Power/Water Contamination The Anoka County Emergency Management Group including jurisdictional representatives considered and re-evaluated all hazards that were identified in the previous plan. The hazards were evaluated and ranked in terms of their potential risk to Anoka County and participating municipalities. The decision to focus on the hazards checked in the above table was based on research of historical events, local knowledge, and the general priorities for implementing mitigation- planning efforts. The State of Minnesota Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies Blizzards and Ice Storms individually. For the purpose of this mitigation plan those hazards are combined under Winter Weather. In addition, Lightning, Windstorm and Hailstorm were individually identified. As those hazards are almost always encountered during thunderstorms, they are combined in the thunderstorm category. Infectious disease is a category that was re- categorized under Epidemics/Pandemics, which also includes Vectors. Water contamination is categorized under public utilities and radiological is categorized under Hazardous Materials. During this update Methamphetamine Labs was removed from the 2019 plan. The planning teams review found that the risks from Methamphetamine Labs was reduced to the level that no longer warrant this as an identified hazard within Anoka County. In contract the planning team identified Active Violence / Active Shooter as a new risk and the level has risen to the level that warrants inclusion in the 2019 update. 44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(2)(i): The risk assessment shall include a description of the type, location and extent of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. The plan shall include information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the probability of future hazard events A. Does the plan include a description of the types of all natural hazards that affect the jurisdiction? If the hazard identification omits (without explanation) any hazards commonly recognized as threats to the jurisdiction, this part of the plan cannot receive a Satisfactory score. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 91 48B4.3.1 Natural Hazards Hazard selection for mitigation planning is primarily based on the historic occurrence of disasters that have occurred in the jurisdiction. However, new development and environmental changes may introduce new hazards that must be considered for inclusion in a mitigation plan. Examples include a new industry that introduces a hazardous material, the political climate, such as 9/11, which introduced terrorism, and other events such as human, animal and plant diseases, and infestations. Each participating municipality was tasked with identifying and describing historical incidents of hazards from local sources such as newspapers, archives, etc. Anoka County Emergency Management then combined the local information with information from external sources such as Minnesota State Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Oceanographic Atmospheric Agency (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS), and other sources to develop a complete historic analysis of hazards that have affected Anoka County and participating jurisdictions. 101B4.3.1.1 Flooding/Flash floods Flooding occurs when abnormally high stream flow overtops the natural or artificial banks of a watercourse. The three-principle types of floods, which may affect Anoka County, are: riverine floods, flash floods, and dam break floods. Overland flooding is a concern in Anoka County for events that have a high rainfall amounts over a short amount of time. The prominent soil type in Anoka County is sand which will allow normal amounts of rain water to percolate though the soil and move though the storm water drainage systems move water though the six Watershed Districts in Anoka County. Appendix B illustrates the structures and critical infrastructure in Anoka county that are located in and around the 100- and 500-year flood 44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part §201.6(c)(2)(i): The risk assessment shall include a] description of the … location and extent of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction. The plan shall include information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the probability of future hazard events A. Does the risk assessment identify the location (i.e., geographic area affected) of each natural hazard addressed in the plan? B. Does the risk assessment identify the extent (i.e., magnitude or severity) of each hazard addressed in the plan? C. Does the plan provide information on previous occurrences of each hazard addressed in the plan? D. Does the plan include the probability of future events (i.e., chance of occurrence) for each hazard addressed in the plan? Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 92 plain. The Anoka County Flood Vulnerability Report located in Appendix A pages 5-19 review the historical information available regarding flooding in Anoka County and includes several case studies on the probable losses due to future flood events in Anoka County. The report also reviews infrastructure that is located in and around the 100-year flood plain and may be affected due to 100-year flood event. In reviewing the information on the infrastructure, facilities, and their physical location related to the flood plain from the maps provided by Anoka County GIS, the property may be in or next to a flood plain and property is marked as being in the flood plain. Many pieces of the infrastructure and structures were completed to meet current building codes and comply with the National Flood Insurance requirements and elevated above the 100-year flood plain level. As part of the Anoka County Mitigation Plan, jurisdictions will continue to review mitigation options to reduce the impact of flooding on infrastructure and structures that do not comply with the National Flood Insurance requirements and / or are at risk for loss from flooding. Flooding tends to occur in Anoka County during anomalous years of prolonged, regional rainfall (such as an El-Nino year) and excessive snowfall and is typified by increased humidity and high spring/summer temperatures. Flash flooding is a critical natural hazard caused by too much rain falling and/or snowmelt in a short time, often a result of thunderstorms or the remnants of a tropical storm. Several factors contribute to flash flooding: rainfall intensity and duration, topography, soil conditions, and ground cover. Most flash flooding is caused by slow-moving thunderstorms, repeatedly moving over the same area, or by multiple storm cells colliding. Flash flooding can occur within a few minutes of excessive rainfall or from a quick release from a dam or levee failure. Thunderstorms produce flash flooding, often far from the actual storm, and water may rise at night when natural warnings may not be noticed. Anoka County and participating jurisdictions have experienced flood events 37 times since 1965 resulting in one fatality and five injuries. A total of $203,714,028 in structure damage has been logged along with $481,287 in content damage. A detailed list of flood events is provided in Appendix A. In 1997, City of Anoka, which is located along the lower Rum River and Mississippi River was impacted to the extent that residents were evacuated, city streets closed, and septic and drain fields failed. Clean up was extensive in removing sandbags and debris. For Ramsey, Fridley and Anoka the likelihood of occurrence is moderate, but the impact is considered high.

The likelihood of occurrence is considered moderate. Loss impact of future occurrence is less likely due to mitigation projects to correct flooding problems although the impact will continue to be moderate. Coon Rapids located along the east bank of the Mississippi River experienced flooding from the Mississippi River in April of 1965, 1997 and 2001. All three years were the result of heavy spring rains combined with heavy winter snowfall amounts in the Mississippi River drainage areas. The southwest corner of the city requires sandbagging for approximately 25 homes. Additional sandbagging is necessary for an additional 12 properties in the northwest corner of the city. The river overflowing its banks threatens homes and property, utilities, and back-flooding of sanitary and storm water sewer systems. Out of banks flooding is likely to occur once or twice per decade. Future impact is considered moderate. Blaine experiences minimal localized flooding with extensive rains and melting snow runoff, but occurrences are infrequent and the impact minimal. Oak Grove which is located adjacent to the Rum River and experiences minimal flooding with extensive rains and melting snow runoff but occurrences are infrequent and the impact minimal. Lino Lakes, Spring Lake Park and St. Francis experience storm-water flooding during periods of heavy rain. The flooding is infrequent and the impact minimal. Anoka County has several dams within planning area. The inundation threat to business and residential areas from a failure is low based on the location of the dams and a review of the Emergency Action Plan for each of the dams that are required to have an emergency action plan. The plans for the Coon Rapids Dam and Oronoco Dam were reviewed and the risk to Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 94 residential and commercial buildings in Anoka County is low. The list of Dams within the planning area are included in Appendix B. 102B4.3.1.2 Epidemics/Pandemics/Vectors Pandemics (World Wide epidemics) have occurred three times in the world’s human population. Anoka County has experienced minor cases of infectious diseases over the last 50 years that have been considered isolated occurrences or minor exposures. Anoka County has experienced several pandemic/epidemic incidents since 1918. The impacts are multifaceted and include public health and financial impacts. • The 1918-1919 Spanish Flu caused the highest number of deaths. India had 16 million deaths. The U.S. had 675,000 deaths. In England 230,000 died. In Germany 225,000 and in France 166,000 perished. Worldwide, the estimated fatalities were 20 million to 50 million. During the Spanish Flu pandemic, Spain closed its government. New York City closed its port and trains did not run. The British Navy did not sail for three weeks. • The 1957-58 Asian Flu was identified in February 1957 in China. By June, it had crossed the Pacific and entered the U.S. Globally, it caused a million deaths. In the U.S., 70,000 persons died. It was a Type A virus. • The 1968-69 Hong Kong Flu caused four million deaths worldwide and 34,000 deaths in the U.S. It was a Type A virus. • The 2009 H1N1 Flu was identified in Anoka County with 49 confirmed cases. Epidemics in Minnesota were major killers in the 1700s and 1800s. The worst culprits were smallpox, polio, influenza, measles, and cholera, and yellow fever. In 1918, the Spanish flu pandemic struck Minnesota, 10,000 Minnesotans died, over twenty percent in the Twin Cities. Small towns were infected as severely as larger cities. In the twin cities in 1935, a failure of the chlorination units at the public water supply plant resulted in a serious typhoid epidemic with 213 cases and 7 deaths. In 1979 an outbreak of Red Measles occurred, over 200 cases were reported. In 1952 there were 20 cases of polio reported in Anoka County. In July 2005, officials with Anoka County closed Coon Lake Beach in the City of Columbus for four days following an E. Coli outbreak that sickened at least four children. Anoka County has developed a mass clinic plan to administer vaccine and other necessary drugs in the event of an epidemic or pandemic event. This plan is tested once every five years and the next exercise will occur in 2020. The drill occurs during the county’s participation in the Strategic National Stockpile drill and has been revised to remediate weaknesses discovered in the plan. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 95 Anoka County and its municipalities have experienced illness and fatalities from pandemic/epidemic events, and the county is at risk of future events. The entire county would be equally impacted by pandemic/epidemic events. A detailed event lists of epidemics/pandemics that have impacted Anoka County in the past is provided in Appendix A. Animal and Vector-Based Hazards – One of the "emerging" threats to Minnesota and its citizens are vector-based threats - bacteria, insects and other animals that pose a direct or indirect hazard to humans, their food supply, or the state's economy. Vector-borne diseases diagnosed in Minnesota include: Western equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, Colorado tick fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lime Disease, tularemia, rabies, plague, and Hanta-Virus. Lyme disease is a potentially serious bacterial infection caused by the bite of an infected deer tick. The disease affects both humans and animals. The Minnesota Department of Health is monitoring the spread of the disease across the state and working with residents to limit exposure to the ticks causing the disease. In Minnesota, the area where Lyme disease is endemic is primarily the drainage basin of the St. Croix River. The ticks are endemic to Washington County along the St. Croix Valley, and to Chisago, Anoka, Pine, Mille Lacs, Crow Wing, Kanabec, and Atkin counties. As long as vectors are present in the state, the potential for recurring disease exists. Based on historical incidence, the vector- borne diseases to which the population is most vulnerable are St. Louis encephalitis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, tularemia and Hanta-Virus. The likelihood of Western equine encephalitis and St. Louis encephalitis infecting the population is greater in the high mountainous areas of the state. Colorado tick fever and Rocky Mountain spotted fever have been small problems in the state. The state should be considered vulnerable to future incidence of tick fever. Most, but not all cases of tularemia appear to be associated with ticks in the southeastern part of the state. Anoka County has had no reported cases of these diseases. While the probability of future events exists, the risk is low for all jurisdictions. Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly infectious and difficult to control disease of cloven- hoofed mammals including cattle, swine, wild sheep, goats, deer, and pigs. Should an outbreak Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 96 occur anywhere in the United States, routine livestock movements could rapidly spread the disease making early detection, combined with immediate eradication of affected animals, crucial for controlling the disease. Left unchecked, the economic impact of FMD could reach billions of dollars in the first year. Deer and other wildlife would likely become infected and be a source for re-infection of livestock. FMD is not known to cause illness in humans. Anoka County has not experienced FMD. Livestock in the rural areas of the county would be at greatest risk for FMD. The probability of this disease-affecting Anoka County is low. West Nile Virus (WNV) is one of several mosquito-borne viruses in the United States. The virus exists in nature primarily through a transmission cycle involving mosquitoes and birds. Mosquitoes become infected with WNV when they feed on infected birds. Less than one percent of humans infected may develop meningitis or encephalitis, the most severe forms of the disease, which occur primarily in persons over 50 years of age. Symptoms of encephalitis or meningitis may include severe headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, coma and sometimes, death. Tests performed in 2004 on a dead bird confirmed the presence of WNV in Anoka County. One case was confirmed in 2012. While the probability for future events exists, this hazard presents a low risk to Anoka County and its municipalities. 103B4.3.1.3 Severe Weather – Thunderstorms-Hail/Lightning/Wind Thunderstorms are formed from a combination of moisture, rapidly rising warm air, and a force capable of lifting air (i.e. warm and cold front, a sea breeze, or a mountain). Thunderstorms may occur singly, in clusters, or in lines. It is possible for several thunderstorms to affect one location in the course of a few hours. Most severe weather occurs when thunderstorms affect one location for an extended time. All thunderstorms contain lightning, an electrical discharge that occurs within the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. A bolt of lightning reaches a temperature approaching 50,000° F. In the United States, on average 27 Americans are hit and killed each year per NOAA. Hailstones are products of thunderstorms and are developed by downdrafts and updrafts that develop inside the cumulonimbus clouds of a thunderstorm, where super cooled water droplets exist. The transformation of droplets to ice requires a temperature below 32° F and a catalyst in the form of tiny particles of solid matter, or freezing nuclei. Continued deposits of super cooled water cause the ice crystals to grow into hailstones. Hail can be smaller than a pea or larger than softballs and can be destructive to property, crops, livestock, and people. Straight-line winds, which have exceeded 100 miles per hour, are responsible for most thunderstorm damage. One type of straight-line wind, the downburst, can cause damage equivalent to a tornado. Thunderstorms are also associated with tornadoes and heavy rains that can lead to flooding. All of the jurisdictions of Anoka County have experienced occurrences of severe thunderstorms accompanied by high winds, lightning and sometimes damaging hail. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 97 Since 1961, 444 severe thunderstorms, hail, lightning, and wind have impacted Anoka County and its jurisdictions resulting in 3 fatalities and 195 injuries. The storms have also caused structure damage and content loss. The city of Anoka experienced an unusually severe storm in September of 2005. There was damage to homes, trees, streets were closed due to flooding and septic, and drain field failures occurred. Extensive debris removal was required. Blaine experienced severe thunderstorms in 1987, 1991 and 2002. In 1987 the Police Department fleet of squad cars sustained $74,000 in damage from large hail. Downed trees and roof damage were the major impact of these storms. Damage amounts are unknown but estimated in the $500,000 range per major storm event. The likelihood of occurrence of these storms is high due to Blaine’s climate and geographic location. Thunderstorms are a frequent occurrence for the City of Blaine. With Blaine’s rate of growth and construction practices what they are, loss from future severe thunder storms would be more significant than what has been seen historically. City of Nowthen, Centerville, Circle Pines, Columbia Heights, Ham Lake, Oak Grove, Spring Lake Park, St. Francis and Hilltop experienced severe Thunderstorms, hail, winds, lightening in 2001, 2004 and twice in 2005. In all cases power outages occurred resulting from downed power lines. Hundreds of trees have been destroyed by these storms. It is expected that the frequency of these storms will continue to be moderate and the impact moderate. In the 2005 severe weather event, Coon Rapids experienced hundreds of trees uprooted, power outages due to downed lines; property damage including but not limited to debris damage to private property; some roofs taken off, streets blocked by debris and downed trees; urban flooding due to heavy rainfall and catch basins clogged with debris; hail damage. In 1996, Fridley encountered over 2 Million dollars in damage from a severe storm. In 1998 another 2.2 million in damage and over 1.5 million in damage from the September 2005 storm. Ham Lake, on July 1, 1997, was impacted by a severe storm. The Fire Department responded to many calls, municipal employees worked overtime, pumping was required to stabilize a pond in one neighborhood and prevent loss of property/lives, the fire station required roof repair, and a city owned billboard required repair. Overall the frequency of future occurrences will continue and are considered moderate. The impact of these severe storms is moderate to high and as construction and population continue to increase the impact is expected to increase to high. A detailed list of severe storms is provided in Appendix A. (2011 heavy rainfall event) In June 2017, a severe storm passed over the City of Coon Rapids, Circle Pines, and Blaine causing severe damage to buildings and structures. Streets in many communities were flooded with rainwater. In several places, mounds of hail could be seen floating on the floodwaters like small icebergs. In Coon Rapids, so much hail fell that streets had to be plowed. The estimated loss is in the range of 1 Billion dollars across Anoka County. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 98 104B4.3.1.4 Severe Weather - Tornado Tornados are violent windstorms characterized by a twisting, funnel-shaped cloud. Spawned by a thunderstorm (or sometimes as a result of a hurricane), the funnel does not need to reach to the ground for a tornado to be present. A debris cloud beneath a thunderstorm is all that is needed to confirm the presence of a tornado. The damage from a tornado is a result of the high wind velocity and wind-blown debris. The intensity, path length, and width of tornadoes are rated according to a scale developed by T. Theodore Fujita and Allen D. Pearson. The Fujita-Pearson Tornado Scale is presented below. Tornadoes classified as F0-F1 are considered weak, those classified as F2-F3 are considered strong, while those classified as F4-F5 are considered violent. Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale Description Table EF- Scale Damage Winds (mph) Description EF-0 Light 65-85 Chimney damage, tree branches broken EF-1 Moderate 86-110 Mobile homes overturned EF-2 Considerable 111-135 Considerable damage, trees downed, mobile homes demolished EF-3 Severe 136-165 Roofs/walls torn down, trains and cars overturned EF-4 Devastating 166-200 Well-constructed walls leveled EF-5 Incredible 200 + Homes lifted off foundation and carried considerable distances The most violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction with wind speeds of 250 mph or more. Damage paths can be in excess of 1 mile wide and 50 miles long. Even with advances in meteorology, warning time for tornadoes is short or impossible. Tornadoes can occur in any state, but are more frequent in the Midwest, Southeast and Southwest. Tornado season is generally March through August, although tornadoes can occur at any time of year. They tend to occur in the afternoons and evenings. Over 80% of all tornadoes strike between noon and midnight. There have been 24 tornado events that have impacted Anoka County and participating jurisdictions since 1961. In some cases, the same tornado may have impacted multiple jurisdictions and was reported more than once. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 99 Due to climate and geographic location the likely occurrence of tornados can be a frequent occurrence for the City of Blaine. With Blaine’s rate of growth and construction practices loss impact from future tornados would be more significant than what has been seen historically. Although tornadoes have affected Anoka County infrequently in the past, probability of damage from this hazard in the future is likely. The entire county is at equal risk of future occurrences. While higher population and housing densities in the municipalities set the stage for increased impact, the potential for property damage and loss of live is equally high for the unincorporated areas of the county due to the large number of mobile homes throughout the rural areas. A detailed list of Tornado incidents is in Appendix A. 105B4.3.1.5 Severe Weather – Winter Storms Winter storms include heavy snow, blizzards and extreme cold. Winter storms in Minnesota often include extreme cold and ice. These storms are especially hazardous in terms of closing emergency routes, creating power and utility system failures, and immobilizing economic activity. In Minnesota, a heavy snow event is defined by six or more inches of snow in a 12-hour period and eight or more inches of snow in a 24-hour period. Snow is considered heavy when visibilities drop below one-quarter mile regardless of wind speed. Blizzards are the most violent of the winter storms and are characterized by low temperatures, usually below 20° Fahrenheit, accompanied by strong winds in excess of 35 miles per hour with enough snow in the air caused by either falling or blowing snow to create visibilities of one-quarter mile or less for an extended period of time, usually at least three hours or more. While blizzards can occur in Anoka County from October through April, they most commonly occur from November through the end of March. Two Tornados were confirmed in Anoka County in 2017 Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 100 Ice storms bring the entire affected area to a standstill. Ice accumulation causes trees and utility lines to fall, interrupting telephone service and creating significant power outages. Emergency response time is greatly increased, especially to residents in remote, rural areas. Freezing rain, probably the most serious of the ice storms, occurs during a precipitation event when warm air aloft exceeds 32° while the surface remains below the freezing point. When precipitation originating as rain or drizzle contacts physical structures on the surface ice forms on all surfaces creating problems for traffic, utility lines and tree limbs. Since 1966 there have been 79 reported incidences of severe winter weather that has impacted Anoka County and its municipalities. Recent Winter Storms impacted Anoka County in 1991, 1996 and 2001. The 1991 & 2001 storms were heavy snowfall events, which impacted transportation, commerce and emergency services. Due to climate and geographic location winter storms can be a frequent occurrence for the entire county. With the continued growth rate and construction practices loss impact from future Winter storms would be more significant than what has been seen historically. On October 31, 1991, county experienced a severe Winter Storm. Streets were closed. Some state highways were closed to vehicular traffic due to snow depth and quantity. There were power outages to many residents and businesses. There was a complete shutdown of businesses and schools. The likelihood of future occurrences is high and the impact may affect travel for multiple days. During periods of extreme cold, water towers and water lines, particularly in low-income residences with sub-standard insulation, freeze and break, leaving residents without water and creating a burden on the public and private infrastructure. The probability of future winter storm events is moderate to high, and the entire county is at equal risk. A detailed list of Winter Weather events is in Appendix A. 106B4.3.1.6 Wildfires Wildfires are incidents of uncontrolled burning in grasslands, brush, or woodlands. In Minnesota, significant wild-land fires do not occur on an annual basis. However, several hundred lesser events occur annually across the entire state. Seasonal wild fires have been destructive, especially during periods of drought. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Forestry has primary responsibility for wild-land fire protection on 22.8 million acres of public and private land. Its total responsibility encompasses 45.5 million acres or 89 percent of the total land base. Wildfires occur throughout Minnesota and according to the Minnesota State Fire Marshal, there are more than 2,000 annual wildfires with an estimated loss of more than $13 million dollars. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 101 Due to the abundance of vegetation throughout the county, wildfires are a moderate threat in all rural areas. Significant events occur during periods of inadequate rainfall. Lesser events occur annually, usually as a result of escaped controlled burning or arson. The county's municipal and volunteer fire departments respond to a combined average of 100 wild-land fires annually. Many of these fires occur in mixed interface areas and pose threats to occupied structures. Several municipalities have extensive areas of greenbelt and parkland, and brush fires in these cities create a significant urban interface danger. While we have not experienced the massive wildfires of the west, the potential exists, particularly if drought conditions are present. The probability of future wildfire events is moderate, and all areas of Anoka County are at equal risk for wildfires. A number of annual calls for Wild-land fires is included in Appendix A and are included with annual calls for Grass Fire. The local fire departments and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources have contained and extinguished wild-land and grass fires. 49B4.3.2 Manmade Hazards In considering manmade hazards, the Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee decided to concentrate its analysis and future mitigation efforts on events presently affecting Anoka County, and on those events that would result in major emergencies or disasters, such as hazardous materials incidents and dam failure. Hazards that would result in smaller, isolated events (such as arson or civil unrest) or those that would be difficult to mitigate (such as hostage situation or enemy attack) were not considered for further study under this Plan. Additionally, those hazards that are being addressed through concurrent planning efforts, and those that are the result of other hazards being addressed were not considered for further study under this Plan. It is recommended that these manmade hazards become more fully incorporated during future Plan updates and enhancements. 107B4.3.2.1 Hazardous Materials Incident Hazardous materials (hazmat) incidents are likely to affect many communities. Every city has multiple facilities that produce, store, or use some form of hazardous materials. Every water treatment plant has chlorine on site to rid the water of bacterial contaminants. Almost every county has a farmer's Co-Op, Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 102 which stores significant quantities of pesticides and fertilizers. Hazardous materials are transported down many roads every day. Propane trucks serve the rural populations, and natural gas, used by both rural and urban citizens, must be treated as a dangerous hazard when a leak occurs. In addition, every home has some hazardous materials present in the form of cleaners, batteries, bleach, paint, and gasoline. Hazardous materials incidents typically take three forms: fixed facility incidents, transportation incidents/pipeline incidents and radiological incidents. It is reasonably possible to identify and prepare for a fixed site incident, as laws require those facilities to notify state and local authorities about what is being used or produced. Transportation and pipeline incidents are much harder to prepare for, as the material involved and the incident location are not known until the accident actually happens. Fixed Facility Hazardous Materials Incident is any occurrence of uncontrolled release of materials from a fixed site that poses a risk to health, safety, and property as determined in the EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. These materials are classed identically to those specified in the section on transportation accidents. A variety of hazardous materials exists in fixed facilities throughout Anoka County. They range from flammable liquids stored or used to fuel vehicles through exotic biological agents. Some materials are particularly lethal even in small amounts, while others require strong concentrations with prolonged exposure. Radiological Incident is defined as the unintentional exposure to materials that emit ionizing radiation. Nuclear power plants are a significant potential source of ionizing radiation. The health and environment impacts from the Three-Mile Island and Chernobyl, Russia disasters illustrate the potential hazards from nuclear power plants. Other sources of ionizing radiation include medical and diagnostic X-ray machines, certain surveying instruments, some imaging systems used to check pipelines, radioactive sources used to calibrate radiation detection instruments, and even some household fire detectors. 108B4.3.2.2 Active Violence / Active Shooter An active violence / active shooter incident involves an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. The individual may be armed with a firearm or bladed weapon or may in engage in other violent acts such as driving a vehicle into a crowd. There may or may not be a pattern or method to their selection of victims. Workplace violence is any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the work site. It ranges from threats and verbal abuse to physical assaults and even homicide. It can affect and involve employees, clients, customers and visitors. Homicide is currently the fourth-leading cause of fatal occupational injuries in the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), of the 4,679 fatal workplace injuries that occurred in the United States in 2014, 403 were workplace homicides. In 2015, there were 417 workplace homicides. However, it manifests itself, workplace violence is a major concern for employers and employees nationwide. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 103 Nearly 2 million American workers report having been victims of workplace violence each year. Unfortunately, many more cases go unreported. Research has identified factors that may increase the risk of violence for some workers at certain worksites. Such factors include exchanging money with the public and working with volatile, unstable people. Working alone or in isolated areas may also contribute to the potential for violence. Providing services and care and working where alcohol is served may also impact the likelihood of violence. Additionally, time of day and location of work, such as working late at night or in areas with high crime rates, are also risk factors that should be considered when addressing issues of workplace violence. Among those with higher-risk are workers who exchange money with the public, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, public service workers, customer service agents, law enforcement personnel, and those who work alone or in small groups. 109B4.3.2.3 Terrorism • Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof , in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85). • The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism based on the location of the actors: • Domestic terrorism is the unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States or Puerto Rico without foreign direction committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or social objectives. • International terrorism involves violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or any state. These acts appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping. International terrorist acts occur outside the United States or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to coerce or intimidate, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum. Terrorism is the use of force or violence against people or property for the purposes of intimidation, coercion or ransom. Terrorists often use threats to create fear among the public, to try to convince citizens that their government is powerless to prevent terrorism, and to get publicity for their causes. The 1966 Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act, defines weapons of mass destruction as “any weapon or device that is intended, or has the capability, to cause death or serious bodily injury to a significant number of people through the dissemination, release or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals or their precursors, a disease organism, or radiation or radioactivity.” President Clinton’s 1994 Executive Order 12938 entitled “Proliferation of Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 104 Weapons of Mass Destruction” also defines weapons of mass destruction to be “nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons.” The Domestic Preparedness Program is a partnership of federal, state, and local agencies with the goal of ensuring that, as a nation, we are prepared to respond to a terrorist attack involving nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons - weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Today, the term "Homeland Security" is used to denote the concept of preparing for these kinds of events. The FBI categorizes terrorism in the United States primarily as one of two types - domestic terrorism or international terrorism. Domestic terrorism, such as the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are directed at elements of our government or population without foreign direction. International terrorism, such as the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are foreign-based and/or directed by countries or groups outside the U. S., or whose activities transcend national boundaries. Attacks can take many forms. They are all designed to terrorize citizens. While Anoka County has not experienced terrorist events, the county contains potential target sites for terrorist attack. The presence of these facilities places Anoka County at a high threat level for forms of terrorist attack. A terrorist event at these facilities would affect the entire county. Bioterrorism: In the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, concerns about bio- terrorist attack involving smallpox prompted Minnesota health officials to develop a mass vaccination plan. Anoka County Community Health's plan was tested during an August 2004 Strategic National Stockpile drill and subsequently revised response plans to address problems found during that exercise. During the outbreak of anthrax in the last months of 2001, local firefighters and law enforcement officers investigated several suspicious-looking substances, packages, and mail at a Department of Energy facility, private residences, businesses, a hospital, a post office, and a school. Though all tests were negative, decontamination procedures were initiated at a school and post office. Planned Parenthood received one of several hundred fake anthrax letters mailed by an anti-abortion extremist. The probability of future events exists and the county and its municipalities are at equal risk of Bioterrorism. The Community Health and Environmental Services Department maintains an All Hazards Emergency Response and Recovery Plan, of which components are tested on an annual basis. Bomb Threats: The Northtown Mall was the target of a bomb explosion that damaged the mall but caused no injuries. Though none have been found credible, bomb threats by telephone are becoming an increasing problem for schools and government throughout Anoka County. In 2018 there were twenty-one bomb threats reported to Anoka County Central Communications. Bethel, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Lexington, Lino Lakes and St. Francis all experienced multiple terrorist bomb or anthrax threats. All of which are considered domestic in nature. The majority of threats involved schools. A number of the incidents involve actual pipe bombs being found. In Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 105 2001, several Anthrax hoax letters were reported. The incident of domestic terrorist threats is decreasing. Cyber-terrorism: Several facilities in Anoka County have been affected by computer viruses and attempted system entry by "hackers" malware. There are more than five intrusion attempts each day. Improved virus detection capability and system security safeguards have reduced the threat of cyber-terrorism for Anoka County’s larger industrial and government facilities. Smaller businesses and jurisdictions throughout the entire county remain at future risk of this hazard. Anoka County and its municipalities have reported 176 instances of domestic terrorism since 1992. The vast majority of events are bomb threats. In 2001, there were several instances of anthrax threats. There have been some pipe bombs found and in one case a bomb was detonated in a local mall. The reported losses are $1,001 in structure damage and $4,101 in content damage. The expectation is that the future occurrence of a terrorist’s incident is low but the impact could be high. A detailed list of reported terrorist events is provided in Appendix A. 110B4.3.2.4 Urban Fire The 2010 Minnesota State Fire Marshall reports on fire in Minnesota reports that structures fires are the most prevalent (44%) type of fire and are responsible for the most deaths and injuries. In structures, the three leading causes are 1) Cooking and 2) Open Flame 3) and other equipment. 36% occurred in structures without an operational smoke alarm. Flame damages were more extensive in rural structure fires, contained to the building, than urban structure fires that were contained to an object or room. Anoka County and its participating jurisdictions experienced 916 fire runs in 2017 causing a total loss of $10,045,103 and 1 death. There have been 51 civilian fire related deaths since 1990 as reported by the Minnesota Fire Marshal’s Office. An urban fire is any instance of uncontrolled burning which results in major structural damage to large residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, or other properties in developed areas. Generally, a large structure is defined as exceeding 25,000 square feet. Large structural fires would include fully involved structures of this size or greater such as hospitals, government centers, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, barns, and multiple storied buildings. Fires have affected individual structures throughout the rural unincorporated areas of Anoka County and its municipalities, occurring in homes, businesses, and government buildings. The potential for future events exists. The entire county is at equal risk of fires in individual structures. In terms of large, urban fires within Anoka County, the downtown areas of Municipality’s comprised of adjoining old wood structures, are at greatest risk. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 106 The likelihood of occurrence for serious urban fires continues to be a concern and the expectation of future occurrences is moderate and the impact is high. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 107 30B4.4 Hazard Vulnerability 50B4.4.1 Jurisdiction Hazard Vulnerability Assessment This Vulnerability Assessment Section provides a vulnerability summary and builds upon the information provided in the Vulnerability Analysis Section and the detailed list of hazard events in Appendix A. This section identifies community assets and development trends in Anoka County, then assessing the potential impact and amount of damage that could be caused by each hazard event. The objective of the assessment is to prioritize hazards of concern to Anoka County and to identify hazard mitigation strategies that will reduce or eliminate their effects. The vulnerability findings presented in this section have resulted in an approximation of risk. These estimates should be used to understand relative risk from hazards and the potential losses that may be incurred, however, uncertainties are inherent in loss estimation methodology, arising from incomplete scientific knowledge concerning specific hazards and their effects on the environment, as well as incomplete data sets, and from approximations and simplifications that are necessary in order to provide a meaningful analysis. Further, most data used in this assessment covers relatively short periods of records which increases the uncertainty of any statistically based analysis. To complete the assessment, each participating municipality provided the best available local data. The Anoka County Emergency Management Organization then collected data from a variety of external sources, including state and federal agencies, and analyses were performed qualitatively and quantitatively. Additional work will be done on an ongoing basis to enhance, and further improve the accuracy of the baseline established here, and it is expected that this vulnerability assessment will continue to be refined through future plan updates as new data and loss estimation methods or tools become available to Anoka County. Two distinct methodologies were applied to assess the risk for Anoka County. The first includes a quantitative analysis that relies upon best available data and technology, while the second methodology includes a qualitative analysis that relies more on local knowledge and rational decision-making. Upon completion, the methodologies are combined to create a “hybrid” approach for assessing hazard vulnerability for Anoka County that allows for some degree of quality control and assurance. Quantitative Methodology consists of utilizing Hazards U.S. Multi-Hazard (HAZUS®MH), a geographic information system (GIS) based loss estimation software available from FEMA. For some hazards, the quantitative assessment also incorporates a detailed GIS-based approach using best available local data from Anoka County. When combined, the results of these vulnerability studies are used to form an assessment of potential hazard losses (in dollars), along with the identification of specific community assets that are deemed potentially at-risk. As the HAZUS-MR software was only acquired by Anoka County during this mitigation planning cycle, its use was limited. Future updates to the plan will fully utilize HAZUS-MR along with the Multi-hazard Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(ii): [The risk assessment shall include a] description of the jurisdiction’s vulnerability to the hazards described in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section. This description shall include an overall summary of each hazard and its impact on the community. FMA Requirement §78.5(b): Description of the existing flood hazard and identification of the flood risk, and the extent of flood depth and damage potential. A. Does the plan include an overall summary description of the jurisdiction’s vulnerability to each hazard? B. Does the plan address the impact of each hazard on the jurisdiction? Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 108 Geospacial Analysis software from ESRI that Anoka County Emergency Management would like to purchase in the future to provide for additional features in HAZUS-MR. Qualitative Methodology relies less on technology, and more on historical and anecdotal data, community input, and professional judgment regarding expected hazard impacts. The qualitative assessment is built around varying degrees and weights of risk values as assigned by the consensus of Anoka County’s Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee. The vulnerability assessment for Anoka County uses a scoring system based on the adjacent table. Risk Analysis In 2011 Anoka County completed a risk and hazard assessment using Digital Sandbox. The results are being used to assess and review the natural and manmade risks to Anoka County. On an annual basis updates are conducted using the Department of Homeland Security THIRA (Threat Hazard Identification Risk Assessment) methodology. 111B4.4.1.1 Countywide Hazard Vulnerability After analyzing and evaluating all available data, the Emergency Management Group developed the hazard history vulnerability assessment. The table below lists the hazards identified by the group as hazards that have impacted Anoka County and its municipalities in the past and the potential hazards that could impact the county and its municipalities in the future. The committee then used the risk table developed previously to determine the county’s degree of vulnerability to each hazard. When historical information for all selected hazards is evaluated and scored, flooding is the number one hazard that has impacted Anoka County. It was recognized that the availability and quantity of data varied significantly between hazards and thus impacted evaluations. The committee believed that had economic data been accurately recorded, urban fires and severe weather dollars could easily have been up to 5-10 times greater. Below are tables that summarize the hazards that the Emergency Management Group identified as the potential hazards that could affect the communities in the county. In 2011 Anoka County completed a risk and capability assessment though Digital sandbox and is participating in additional regional Threat and Risk Assessment though the Twin Cities Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). The results of these studies will be used to increase the readiness of Anoka County and it’s jurisdictions to respond to large-scale events and disasters HAZARD RATING No Fatalities/Injuries 0 Less than 3 injuries 1 Less than 5 fatalities/10 injuries 2 Less than 15 fatalities/50 injuries 3 Less than 25 fatalities/100 injuries 4 More than 26 fatalities/injuries 5 No Economic Damage or Cost 0 Less than 500,000 damage cost 1 Less than 2,000,000 damage cost 2 Less than 5,000,000 damage cost 3 Less than 10,000,000 damage cost 4 More than 10,000,000 damage cost 5 Extent area minimal/no evacuation 0 Extent area local/minimal evacuation 1 Extent area local/some evacuation 2 Extent area 1 mi./some evacuation 3 Extent area 3 mi./major evacuation 4 Extent area >3 mile/evacuation 5 Probability once in 100+ years 0 Probability once in 50 years 1 Probability once in 10 years 2 Probability once in every 5 years 3 Probability once in every 1 year 4 Probability more than once in 1 year 5 No repetitive loss 0 One repetitive loss 1 Three repetitive losses 2 Five repetitive losses 3 Ten repetitive losses 4 More than ten repetitive losses 5 Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 109 in Anoka County and the surrounding communities. On an annual basis updates are conducted using the Department of Homeland Security THIRA (Threat Hazard Identification Risk Assessment) methodology. After analyzing and evaluating all available data, the Emergency Management Group developed the historic hazard vulnerability assessments below, using the risk table developed previously by assigning a value (1 through 5). This table is a result of the cumulative impact of total hazard events over a period of years ranging from a low of 20 years of data for hazard events to 94 years of data in the case of pandemics/epidemics.

A fire and explosion resulting from an accident or a terrorist attack at these facilities would impact the county more than any other hazard except for severe weather (thunderstorms) and Urban fires. Flooding dropped from first to forth as a result of several mitigation projects that reduced the impact of floods. This table estimates the impact of a single severe hazard event.

This differentiation can exist due to factors such as geographic location, topography, geologic differences, and proximity to manmade hazards. In addition to this summary section, within the discussion of each hazard in Section 4.4 Hazard Analysis, there is narrative identifying the specific municipalities or areas of the county that have been affected by hazards, the extent of impact and the probability of future occurrence in Anoka County. The table below summarizes each jurisdiction’s specific vulnerability to each identified hazard.

Multi-hazard Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(iii): For multi-jurisdictional plans, the risk assessment must assess each jurisdiction’s risks where they vary from the risks facing the entire planning area. FMA FEMA 299 Guidance: The Plan should be coordinated with, and ideally developed in cooperation with, all of the local jurisdictions within the geographical area A. Does the plan include a risk assessment for each participating jurisdiction as needed to reflect unique or varied risks? D. Does the plan include the probability of future events (i.e., chance of occurrence) for each hazard addressed in the plan? Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 112 In addition to differing levels of vulnerability to identified hazards; individual municipalities can also suffer significant differences in losses resulting from the impact and extent of a disaster. Generally, these losses are a direct result of population density, commercial development, or housing density/ value. Within the discussion of each hazard in Section 4.3 Hazard Analysis, the narrative identifies those municipalities and specific areas of the county that have increased vulnerability and impact to that hazard and notes the factors contributing to an increased impact or vulnerability. The table below depicts the differing aspects of losses by jurisdiction.

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. 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 Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 114 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 analysis of Anoka County’s critical facilities database in combination with the databases of hazardous material facilities and Federal and state-owned facilities as provided.

In addition, a local mitigation plan must include a section in its risk assessment that describes the source of repetitive flooding problems and identifies the number and type (residential, commercial or governmental) of repetitive loss properties in the jurisdiction. This should include the extent of flood depth and damage potential.

The locations are watched and communication is maintained with the property owners during times that the Mississippi River is elevated. Fridley is examining the possibility of adding a trail between the Riverview Terrance Apartments and the river to create a public walkway near the Mississippi River and also to act as a base in the event that a temporary levee may need to be constructed to prevent flooding. The properties owners in the City of Anoka are aware of the possibility of flooding by the Mississippi River and currently do not have any plans for mitigation action. The residents and City track the water levels and maintain communications with the residents during times that the Mississippi River is elevated. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 116 114B4.4.2.2 Future Structure Vulnerability In Anoka County, only the hazard flooding has an identified geographic location and is defined by 100 and 500-year floodplain maps. The hazard narratives in the hazard analysis section 4.2, describe the vulnerability of current structures in existing flood hazards in terms of impact, extent and future occurrences of flooding. The table below identifies potential new structures that may be constructed in the flood plain area and the vulnerability of those structures to future flooding events within specific municipalities and Anoka County. 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. B. Does the plan describe vulnerability in terms of the types and numbers of future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the identified hazard areas? Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 117 52B4.4.3 Asset Inventory by Hazard The vulnerability of each of these facilities was partially assessed using GIS analysis by comparing their physical location with the extent of known hazard areas that can be spatially defined through GIS technology. For Anoka County, this is flooding (500-year flood zones). For this vulnerability assessment, the rest of the defined hazard areas are not deemed unique enough to make definitive vulnerability assessments for potentially at-risk buildings or facilities that differentiate them from other areas of Anoka County. The following four hazards were selected to provide an estimate and expectation of the impact of these hazards on Anoka County and the participating municipalities. Although these are specific geographic locations for a hazardous materials event, tornado or terrorism incident, these hazards and the impact location were arbitrarily selected to demonstrate the possible impact of such an event on a municipality and Anoka County.

To illustrate, a library in a flood hazard could suffer 40% damage. The potential loss is calculated by multiplying the value of the structure, the contents, and the use by 40%. To determine the loss to the structure in a particular hazard event, multiply the structure replacement value by the expected percent damage. For example, if the library’s structure replacement value equals $100,000 and the expected damage from a 100-year flood is 40 percent of the structure, then the loss to this structure from a flood is $40,000. To determine the losses to the contents from a particular hazard event, multiply the replacement value of the contents by the expected percent damage. For example, if the library’s content replacement value equals $225,000 and the expected damage from a 100-year flood is 10 percent of the contents, then the losses to these contents from a flood is $22,500. To determine the cost of the loss of function for the period that the business or service was unable to operate due to the hazard event, Estimate the losses to structure use and function by determining functional downtime, or the time (in days) that the function would be disrupted from a hazard event. Then estimate the daily cost of the functional downtime. Divide the average annual budget or sales by 365 to determine the average daily operating budget or sales. Multiply the average daily operating budget or sales by the functional downtime to determine the cost of the loss of function for the period that the business or service was unable to operate due to the hazard event. For example, if an ice cream shop had daily sales of $2,500 during the summertime and was forced to close for two weeks because of damages from a hazard event, the function loss would be $35,000 ($2,500 x 14 days). For a public facility, such as a library with an annual budget of $600,000 and an average daily budget of $1,644 ($600,000 / 365), the loss estimate for a seven-day closure would be $11,508. To determine the cost of the displacement from the regular place of business, determine the time (in days) that a function may need to operate from a temporary location due to a hazard event and multiply by the temporary location cost per day. Multi-hazard Requirement §201.6(c)(2)(ii)(B): The plan should describe vulnerability in terms of an estimate of the potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures identified in paragraph (c)(2)(i)(A) of this section and a description of the methodology used to prepare the estimate. A. Does the plan estimate potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures? B. Does the plan describe the methodology used to prepare the estimate? Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 124 For example, if the library was closed for 7 days (loss of function) and then resumed operations from an empty trailer rented for $10 per day for the next 90 days, the displacement cost would be $900 (90 days x $10 per day). For residences the cost of displacement would be the cost of alternate facilities and the average time of residential construction in Anoka County. If content value is unknown the following uplift factors can be applied to the structure value: • Residences – 20% • Agriculture – 30% • Government – 40% • Commercial – 60% Cubic yards calculations are based on the structure’s square feet and the estimated damage. Then using appropriate factors to estimate burnable, soil, metal and building demolition debris. Disposal costs per cubic yard and landfill acres costs are provided by local sanitation officials. If square footage is unknown an approximate square footage can be calculated from the structure cost. For example, use the typical governmental and commercial construction cost in the county and divide that into the structure cost. If construction cost is $200 per square foot and the structure value is $1,000,000 the approximate square footage is 5,000 square feet. For Residential square footage use the median cost of housing in the county and divide that by the dollar per square foot building cost across the county. The median value is currently $121,500 and the estimate is $150 per square foot. Response, evacuation, recovery and other costs are calculated using a factor times total structure value. The premise is that structure loss is directly related to the impact and extent of the hazard and therefore can be used as a basis for costs estimates. Wages lost are a direct calculation of displaced days, structure capacity or workforce and the average daily wage for the jurisdiction Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 125 ANOKA COUNTY STRUCTURE/CONTENT/FUNCTION/USE COST Hazard Hazmat – 3-mile radius Qty Asset/structure Name/Description Content Value % Loss Content Loss Structure Value % Loss Structure Loss 15161 Residential 576,645,680 5.00% 28,832,284 $2,883,228,400 5.00% 144,161,420 11 Agriculture 0 0.00% 0 $922,900 0.00% 0 647 Commercial/Ind 826,461,720 0.00% 0 $526,133,400 0.00% 0 114 Government 34,368,918 0.00% 0 $70,825,300 0.00% 0 1 Sandburg School 1,698,800 0.00% 0 4,434,500 0.00% 0 1 Fred Moore School 4,939,600 0.00% 0 8,326,800 0.00% 0 1 Franklin School 858,000 0.00% 0 4,098,000 0.00% 0 1 AMRTC 18,800,000 0.00% 0 40,357,100 0.00% 0 1 Wilson School 1,148,000 0.00% 0 4,715,300 0.00% 0 1 St. Stephens 3,440,000 0.00% 0 7,031,300 0.00% 0 1 Mercy Hospital 84,426,059 0.00% 0 125,275,700 0.00% 0 1 Mercy Healthcare 6,722,820 0.00% 0 24,397,900 0.00% 0 1 U.S. Post Office 710,120 10.00% 71,012 1,775,300 10.00% 177,530 1 Hoffman Engineer. 1,348,320 20.00% 269,664 2,247,200 20.00% 449,440 Totals 1,559,869,237 29,172,960 4,039,613,962 144,788,390 Qty Asset/structure Name/Description Avg.

The Act has a far-reaching influence on hazardous materials issues. EPCRA contains five sections covering issues associated with the manufacture, use, exposure, transportation, and public education of hazardous materials. It is the mission of the Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) and State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) to implement EPCRA in the State of Minnesota and mitigate the effects of a release or spill of hazardous materials. The State Emergency Response Commission is responsible for implementing federal EPCRA provisions in Minnesota and serving as a technical advisor and information clearinghouse for state and federal hazardous materials programs. The Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management is the lead agency responsible for implementing EPCRA and provides administrative functions and support to the SERC. The Commission conducts quarterly public meetings in varying locations throughout the state. Currently, SERC membership is comprised of Governor-appointed individuals who represent the interests of state and local government, emergency services, industry, and the environment. 55B4.4.6 Terrorism Vulnerability Hostile attack is the most threatening manmade hazard that could affect Anoka County. There is no history of hostile attacks; however, the potential exists. The most dangerous variants of terrorism - nuclear, biological, or chemical attacks could affect Anoka County. The probability is relatively low. At present, the most likely form of nuclear, biological, or chemical terrorism may be a threat or hoax of a chemical device or sabotage. With the mobility of the world’s population and the possibility of a terrorist attack, it is possible to have a major disease outbreak or nerve gas release anywhere in the US, including Anoka County. It is impossible to assess Anoka County’s vulnerability to international terrorism. Although extremist groups exist within the state, it is unlikely that any terrorist act perpetrated by these groups would be disastrous statewide. Authorities on terrorism generally agree that terrorism cannot be wiped out entirely. For the present, it is a problem to be managed, not solved. Efforts to manage political terrorism in Anoka County should include: • Gathering intelligence on terrorist operations, members and their ideology. • Pooling intelligence and information with knowledgeable sources. • Physically protecting suspected targets. • Promoting public awareness. • Controlling arms and explosives. • Improving screening of applicants for jobs requiring use of arms and explosives. • Preparing contingency plans for different kinds of terrorist acts. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 130 56B4.4.7 Land Use and Development Trends ANOKA COUNTY Changes in Development – Anoka County continues on a sustainable growth rate as development and re-development continue across the entire county. Each of the jurisdictions has provided updates on the land use and development that has occurred within their jurisdiction. The planning and economic development plans provide a roadmap for the future of Anoka County. The Metropolitan Council and jurisdictions within Anoka County have completed the Thrive MSP 2040, a 30-year vision for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Region. This document serves as the regional comprehensive planning guide. In 2017 Anoka County, business, and development partners completed the Economic Development Business Recruitment Roadmap. The roadmap provides guidance to Anoka County and the development partners to setup Anoka County’s economy for a successful future. One of the goals in Thrive MSP 2040 is have each community identify local mitigation and adaptation strategies and infrastructure resiliency plans to protect against potential negative impacts to local economies, local resources, and infrastructure systems that result from more frequent or severe weather events. An increase in new large multi-floor multi-tenant housing has been identified as a new risk to Anoka County. The fire departments within Anoka County have been mitigating this risk though the acquisition of new firefighting equipment that is capable of responding to multi-floor residential structures to contain and extinguish structure fires. The number of multi-tenant housing permits that have been issued from 2013 to 2018 are included in Section 3.4. The regulatory authority within each jurisdiction is an identified tool that can reduce vulnerability though planning and regulatory controls. Building codes and zoning requirements are some examples of regulatory controls. The tools available to each of the jurisdictions are available in section 5.1.3.1.

This area and the southern most communities are involved in ongoing redevelopment activities. There is almost no agricultural activity in the lower third of the county. The center third of Anoka County has experienced rapid growth and development over the last 15 years. This area has changed from predominately agricultural and wetland to urban and suburban in nature. Large residential, commercial, and industrial developments have occurred in all the communities in the center third of Anoka County. This urbanization process is likely to continue as long as the local economy remains strong. Policies of the Metropolitan Council, a regional planning agency established by the State of Minnesota, guide local and regional planning and development efforts, through the establishment of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (sanitary sewer service.) These policies greatly influence the location and timing of development in the portions of Anoka County where the Urban Service Area is expanding, which is the center third of the county. The northern third of Anoka County is still rural or semi-rural in nature and has a substantial amount of agricultural activity. However, the communities here are also growing and experiencing residential, commercial, and some industrial development. The residential growth is on larger suburban lots several acres in size or in townhouse type developments clustered around amenities such as a golf course or a water feature. The commercial services that are expanding are those that generally follow residential development. These new developments in Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 133 the northern third of Anoka County usually result in a corresponding loss of agricultural or forested land, and some impact on wetlands. There is no major forest products industrial activity in Anoka County. There is a small amount of wood harvesting activity from farm or suburban wood lots, especially in the northern and central thirds of the county. Forest activity in the very urbanized southern third of Anoka County would be the result of local communities or property owners “caring for” the urban forest. Commercial and Industrial development and trends - The southern third of Anoka County currently has the largest concentration of commercial and industrial development. This type of development is now moving into the central third of the county. Commercial and industrial development is occurring along the three major transportation corridors that exist in Anoka County, Interstate 35W, Highway 10, and Highway 65. Anoka County is the home of several large corporate entities, including Medtronic World Headquarters, Aveda, BAE Systems, Hoffman Engineering, Onan, and Federal Cartridge. The largest commercial growth segment has been in the area of retail. Commercial and retail development has followed the increase in residential development and population in the central portion of the county. The northern third of Anoka County has experienced commercial development that is supported by residential development. There has been very limited industrial development so far in the northern third of the county, but it is expected to increase because land costs are significantly less than in the central or southern portions of the county. Residential Development and Trends - Anoka County has been, and will continue to be in the near future, one of the fastest growing counties in the State of Minnesota. The communities in the southern third of the county are fully developed and are engaged primarily in redevelopment efforts. These redevelopment efforts involve residential, commercial, and industrial property. Original or older residential structures are or will be refurbished and brought up to modern standards. Some commercial and industrial uses are changing to residential use. In the central portion of the county, local communities are engaged in both redevelopment as well as first time residential development. However, the development that is occurring now is not just single family residential. More lifestyle type developments that offer a multitude of living arrangements and options are being built. These include town homes, patio homes, senior housing, as well as multi-family housing. In the northern third of the county the development is still dominated by single-family housing units on large multi acre lots, however town homes and/or patio homes are being built around amenities such a water features or golf courses. The northern part of Anoka County is expected to experience significant residential development in the coming years. Infrastructure and Infrastructure projects - Anoka County is planning a number of major capital improvement projects that will have positive long-term benefits for the State of Minnesota, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area, Anoka County, and the local communities in Anoka County. Another major initiative in Anoka County that will have statewide, metropolitan-wide, and countywide significance is the North Star Commuter Rail Project. Anoka County is partnering with the State of Minnesota, the Metropolitan Council, and other counties and local communities. Commuter rail service runs along the existing Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks from Minneapolis through Anoka County and initially terminates at the City of Big Lake in Sherburne County. The long-term goal is to eventually extend service to St. Cloud in Benton and Stearns County. The project will help relieve traffic congestion along the Highway 10 and Interstate 94 travel corridors.

Circle Pines has just finished a mixed-use building with commercial development. Otherwise the city doesn’t have any more room within the city for more development. Residential development and trends: Circle Pines has just built its last residential development of single-family homes (52 in 2006) Circle Pines is developmentally full. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: Circle Pines is the only suburban city that operates its own natural-gas distribution company-a result of its cooperative past. The system also services a portion of Lino Lakes and Blaine. No new infrastructure projects are planned. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 138 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Geographic location and characteristics: The City of Columbia Heights is located at the southern tip of Anoka County on the northern border of the City of Minneapolis (Hennepin County). Ramsey County borders on the east, with the City of Fridley bordering on the west. Columbia Heights is 3.4 square miles in size and is a fully developed, urban community that is now seeing areas of redevelopment. The City of Columbia Heights is located at Latitude 45.04 N and Longitude 93.26 W and has an elevation of 922 feet. Public lands: Columbia Heights has 16 parks of varying sizes and amenities. Anoka County has one park within the City. The City has been upgrading parks and athletic facilities over the past five years and will continue as long as funding is available. The City has three wading pools in its park system though these are older pools that need expensive upgrading. Private fee areas: There are no private fee areas in Columbia Heights. Agriculture and forestry: Columbia Heights is fully developed with no agriculture or forest areas. Commercial and industrial development and trends: Columbia Heights is in the process of redeveloping the commercial areas. Many of the commercial properties are very old and cannot meet the needs of today’s businesses. The City is leading the way by joining with developers to buy up and redevelop properties. Residential development and trends: Most of the housing stock was built in the early 1900’s and then post WWII. There has been a decline in property maintenance. The City as implemented many programs that include initial code inspections by the Building Official of new rental properties prior to licensing and revoking certificate of occupancies of vacant and abandoned properties. The City’s property maintenance code was updated to maintain the housing stock. The City has also started a program of buying up properties that are in poor condition and then demolishing them for future replacement. With the redevelopment of many areas of Columbia Heights, approximately 500 residential units will be added. Most of these units will be town homes and condominiums. The recent downturn in the economy and in the townhome and condominium market has slowed this redevelopment down. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: The City has an ongoing 7-8 year schedule for replacement/repair of city streets and alleys. Included with this schedule is the replacement of water, sewer, natural gas, and storm drains. The city is broken into seven zones with one zone being done each year. Public works finished the first phase of a storm water mitigation plan. More plans are being proposed for future storm water mitigation issues. This includes purchasing more residential properties that are prone to flooding. These properties are turned into storm water retention ponds. A City park was remodeled to include a storm water retention pond due to street flooding nearby. The City continues to inspect homes for sump pumps being deposited into sewer systems due to the sewer systems backing up in areas during heavy rains. A plan is in place to assist homeowners with the cost of installing a valve on their main sewer lines in their homes to shut off future sewer backups. CITY OF COLUMBUS Geographic location and characteristics: The City of Columbus is located in east central Anoka County in the northerly portion of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. It is characterized by its large open spaces and low-density rural character. The City is located at Latitude 45.26 N and Longitude 93.07 W and has an elevation of 919 feet. Wetlands and surface waters Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 139 dominate the landscape in Columbus, covering nearly two-thirds of the City. While Columbus is a large community (48 sections approx. 30,573 acres) the amount of developable land in the City is much less than surrounding communities. Approximately, 9,300 gross acres and 5,660 net acres of land are used as rural residential, which requires a 5-acre minimum lot size. Public lands: The public/institutional land use category includes the Columbus City Hall, Fire Hall, and Public Works complex on Kettle River Blvd. and Notre Dame Street; public utilities; four churches; the Columbus Elementary School; State “school trust” land; and two Wildlife Management Areas. The gross public/institutional acreage is approximately 11,175 acres or over 36% of the total City acreage. The only City site that is on the National Register of Historic Places is the Carlos Avery Game Farm, located at County Highways 17 and 18. It has been on the Register since 1991. It is the site of buildings built by the WPA in the 1930’s and includes an entrance gate to the site that is built of stone and iron. During that era, it was a national showplace for the rearing of quail. The facilities are now the home of the north metro wildlife office of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the headquarters for the DNR’s Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area, and the Wildlife Science Center, a nonprofit group that conducts research on wolves. There are approximately 654 acres of City and County park land in Columbus, which provide active and passive recreation opportunities to residents and businesses. The City currently has one community park, three neighborhood parks and three undeveloped, natural areas. The City maintains the major community park adjacent to the City Hall that includes land on either side of Kettle River Boulevard. This facility includes five softball diamonds, two tennis courts, a volleyball court, a football field, a picnic area and shelter, and playground equipment. Anoka County owns and maintains Coon Lake County Park, which includes a swimming beach, boat access, and picnic facilities. Private fee areas: There are few fee areas in Columbus. Ag riculture and forestry: Columbus has 2 Century Farms. The Furrer Farm and the Thurnbeck Farm. The Furrer farm became a Century Farm in August 1989. Alfred Bergeron (1857 – 1949) came to Minnesota as a young man of seventeen in 1874 from Quebec, Canada. He bought his first forty acres on the eastern edge of Anoka County in the City of Columbus between Forest Lake and Centerville in 1883. The Thurnbeck farm was settled in 1893 and became a Century Farm in 1994. Although Columbus is currently being developed, the minimum lot size is 5 acres, which does allow for the preservation of a significant portion of the current tree cover. These forests are comprised mainly of Northern Pin Oak, Burr Oak, Red Oak, and White Oak. Of the mature forest, the oaks comprise roughly 60 – 70 % of the tree species, with minor contributions of hackberry, red maple, basswood, aspen, white pine, red pine and spruce. The most significant forestry problem currently is oak wilt disease. The community has participated in an extensive oak wilt management program since 1991 to contain the effects of this devastating disease. For the future, tree preservation of its existing woodlots and invasive pests will be the largest threats to this suburban forest. Commercial and industrial development and trends: There are two primary commercial areas within Columbus, which account for 6% of the total City area. One lies along the southerly portions of Lake Drive (CSAH 23) near Lino Lakes. The other surrounds a portion of Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 140 Interstate 35 comprising a 3 square mile area. The City of Columbus hopes to see high growth in our commercial area as public utilities become available. Residential development and trends: Recent population and household growth in Columbus was strongest in the 1970’s and 1980’s. This growth reflects a region-wide, outer-ring suburban trend, which largely resulted from the development of the interstate highway system. Communities surround Columbus as well as Anoka County, experienced similar if not more rapid growth. The large lot, rural residential character of housing and the limited amount of developable land in Columbus has resulted in a decrease in the rate of growth since 1990. Housing in Columbus is predominantly single family detached (96%). Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: The City has 52 miles of roadway with 27 miles of blacktop and 25 miles of gravel. The city continues to improve city roads each year based on resident petitions. The city completed the Trunk Sanitary Sewer system and the Trunk Water System in 2007. The City will continue public utility projects based on property owner petitions in the commercial 3 square mile area of the I-35 corridor. COON RAPIDS Geographic location and characteristics: The City of Coon Rapids Minnesota is located fifteen miles north of Minneapolis, MN. The Mississippi River establishes the City’s southern border. Hennepin County and the City of Brooklyn Park are located across the river. Coon Rapids shares its remaining borders with the cities of Anoka, Andover, Blaine, and Fridley. The City is 23 square miles in size. The City of Coon Rapids is located at Latitude 45.17 N and Longitude 93.31 W and has an elevation of 863 feet. Public lands: The City of Coon Rapids has 3420 acres of public land, including religious institutions’, schools, city offices and facilities, and fire stations. Anoka County owns two large parks within the City: Bunker Lake Park consists of 863.95 acres and is located in the NE quadrant of the City. The City owns and operates a public golf course in this park. Anoka County also owns Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park (operated by Three Rivers Park District), located on the South border of the City along the Mississippi River. Fifty-two city owned parks are located throughout Coon Rapids. The three largest are Sand Creek Park (73.63 acres), Wilderness Park (73.08 acres), and Erlandson Nature Center (67.09 acres). Private fee areas: No private fee areas exist within Coon Rapids. Agriculture and forestry: Very little agricultural land exists in Coon Rapids. One sod farm exist in the City; Rocket Turf at Main Street and Coon Creek Boulevard (85.99 acres). A sixty-three lot single-family plat has been approved for the Peterson farm and is expected to develop in 2006. Commercial and industrial development and trends: Of Coon Rapids’ 14,921 acres, over ninety-seven percent is developed. 530 acres are developed with industrial uses, 145 acres are dedicated to office related uses, and 1090 acres of commercial land is developed. It is unlikely that most of the remaining 918 acres will see development due to easements, soils conditions, storm water detention, or similar constraints. Residential development and trends: The vast majority of Coon Rapids’ acreage is dedicated to single-family development. 8523 acres are zoned for single-family homes, and only 101 acres remain vacant. Similarly, 674 acres are dedicated to moderate density Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 141 development, with forty-nine acres remaining vacant. Finally, 387 acres are dedicated to high- density residential development, with only four acres remaining vacant. Coon Rapids is entering the redevelopment and infill phase of its growth. Given that very little land exists in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Seven County metropolitan area with urban services, Coon Rapids expects to see more moderate and high-density development. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: Coon Rapids has an on-going street reconstruction program were a few miles of streets, curbs, and other related services are reconstructed, or otherwise maintained. The City is lobbying for the construction on a wider bridge over US Hwy 10 at Hanson Boulevard with a center-point-diamond design. The city is also lobbying for expansion of US Hwy 10 from four to six lanes. Coon Rapids contains the following: 303 lanes miles of City, County, State, Federal Roads, 246 miles of sewer lines, 282 miles of water lines, 24 wells, 5 water towers, 1 water treatment plant and the Metropolitan Council handles sanitary sewer service. EAST BETHEL Geographic location and characteristics: The city is located at the northern edge of Anoka County and the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan Area at latitude 45.33 N and longitude .21W and has an elevation of 902 feet. The City of East Bethel is 48 square miles and has 30,432 gross acres. Residential development accounts for the vast majority of the developed areas of the city. Residential development covers approximately 6,086 acres or 20% of the 30,432 total gross acres. Public and institutional property occupies only about 1% (304 acres). Parks, private recreation and open spaces, including Cedar Creek Natural History Area and the developing Sand Hill Crane Nature Preserve account for approximately 17% of the acres (5,173) in the city. Vacant or rural areas account for roughly 54% (16,433) of the acres in the community. Major water bodies account for 7% (2,130) acres. The remainder falls in miscellaneous categories. Public lands: East Bethel has a number of unique natural amenities. These areas offer exceptional recreational, educational, and scientific opportunities. The largest of these is The Cedar Creek Natural History Area. The Cedar Creek Natural History Area encompasses more than 3,000 acres and is the largest open space in East Bethel. It is one of the largest ecological research sites in central Minnesota. The three great ecosystems of North America meet in the vicinity of Cedar Creek - the western prairies, the northern evergreen forests, and the eastern deciduous forests. In addition, within its nine square miles Cedar Creek contains rare ecosystems including spruce bogs, a northern cedar forest, and tracts of never plowed savannas. Cedar Creek was established in 1942 and ranks among the world’s top ecological research sites. Cedar Creek is owned and operated by the University of Minnesota, in cooperation with the Minnesota Academy of Science. Entirely contained within the Cedar Creek Area is Fish Lake. The lake is 332 acres in size and has a maximum depth of 13 feet. Adjacent to and immediately south of Cedar Creek across County Road 26 is the Helen Allison Savanna Scientific and Natural Area. This is an 86-acre area on the Anoka Sandplain that was formed 16,000 years ago by glacial melt water. The area was established in 1960. Oak savanna, which consists of oak trees over prairie vegetation, occupies 54 acres of the preserve. Over 45 species of birds have been documented in the preserve. Another unique natural resource in East Bethel is the Sand Hill Crane Natural Area. The area includes Ned, Mud, and Deer Lakes. It covers 533 acres and is owned and cooperative managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Anoka County, and the City of East Bethel. Another 74 acres of government land is adjacent to the Sand Hill Crane property bringing the total amount of government land in this Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 142 unique resource to 607 acres. Another one of East Bethel’s unique physical resources is Coon Lake. It is located in the southeast corner of East Bethel, with portions of the lake in the City of Ham Lake and the City of Columbus. Coon Lake is part of the Anoka County Park System. Coon Lake has numerous access points and is used for boating and swimming. The lake covers 1,259 acres with a littoral area of 1,098 acres. It also supports many forms of wildlife such as loons, ducks, geese, fish, beaver, and turtles. East Bethel also has a number of community focused recreational facilities. The East Bethel Ice Arena is located on Highway 65 at 207th Avenue NE. Booster Park is the oldest and most popular park in the city. It is adjacent to city hall and consists of 45 acres and offers traditional activities such as baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a hockey rink, picnic facilities, and hiking trails. The city recently acquired 32 acres to expand Booster Park. John Anderson Memorial Park surrounding Cooper Lake is in the northwestern corner of the city. It is a total of 70 acres in size. The city also has a number of smaller neighborhood parks that offer recreational opportunities to residents. Private fee areas: East Bethel has two privately owned and operated golf courses. Viking Meadows Golf Club and Hidden Haven Golf Club. Both courses are open to the general public. Agriculture and forestry: While a large amount of land in East Bethel is vacant or rural (54%, 16,414 acres) agriculture is limited due to soil conditions and the declining availability of agricultural support and services. Portions of the community are currently zoned for agriculture or are participating in agricultural preserve programs. Commercial and industrial development and trends: The majority of commercial and industrial development has occurred and is expected to continue to occur along the major transportation corridors of the city, specifically along State Highway 65 and Viking Boulevard (County Road 22). Accessibility is the primary factor that has determined past development and that will influence future development. The city is currently in the process of constructing public water and sewer systems for the area surrounding Viking Blvd and Highway 65. Residential development and trends: Residential areas account for the vast majority of developed areas in the City, accounting for approximately 20% of the gross acres in the City. Much of the rural residential development is located near lakes or near Trunk Highway 65. Because of the lack of public wastewater treatment systems, the maximum allowable density in residential areas is one home per two and one-half (2.5) acres. Residential areas also include two manufactures home parks along Trunk Highway 65, one of which is located on the northern border of the City, the other on the southern end. Recent interest in the community for a more diverse housing stock (i.e. multi-family, town homes and senior housing) with areas of high density per acre as part of the City Center development, are more consistent with the community becoming classified as a rural growth center. The plan for the City to have a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facility is a critical element of the plan for a more varied housing stock. The City is developing appropriate zoning classifications that reflect this change while maintaining, for the most part, larger lots of a minimum of two acres in size. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: The East Bethel City Hall complex is currently located at 2241 221st Avenue NE. It is a 7,500 square foot facility. As envisioned in the new comprehensive plan municipal management functions would eventually move to the new “City Center area.” The current transportation system in East Bethel is a network of local streets, Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 143 county highways, and a state highway. State Highway 65 runs the length of the community from north to south a total of 8 miles. It is a major state roadway that provides access to the northern suburbs to and from the core City of Minneapolis, approximately 25 directly south of East Bethel. The status of Highway 65 in East Bethel was recently changed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) from an expressway to a limited access freeway. Highway 65 holds the main concentration of retail and commercial development for East Bethel. Viking Boulevard (County Road 22) is the city’s main east - west road. County Road 22 is being considered by MnDOT as a future State Highway that would provide for a state highway east - west corridor/connection through northern Anoka County. There are a total of 36.7 miles of county roads and County State Aid Highways in East Bethel. These roads along with Minnesota State Highway 65 provide the transportation backbone for East Bethel. Currently the road system in East Bethel is adequate. As East Bethel continues to grow and develop both governmental and private services will need to be expanded to serve the needs of an increased number of residents of all ages. The new East Bethel Comprehensive Plan lays out the communities’ vision and articulates a strategy to be followed to move towards that vision. FRIDLEY Geographic location and characteristics: The City of Fridley is located in southern Anoka County, approximately 9 miles north of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Fridley shares borders with Spring Lake Park, Coon Rapids, Mounds View, New Brighton, Columbia Heights, and Minneapolis. On its western border is the Mississippi River. The City of Fridley is 10.2 square miles in size. The City of Fridley is located at Latitude 45.09 N and Longitude 93.26 W and has an elevation of 850 feet. Public lands: Approximately 14.5% of the communities land area is developed as public or semi-public for uses such as parks, schools, religious institutions, government facilities and other non-profit agencies. Despite being fully developed, Fridley has recently experienced commercial, industrial, and residential redevelopment. Agriculture and forestry: The City of Fridley has no land designated for agriculture or forestry use. Commercial and industrial development and trends: The City of Fridley has a significant portion of land area devoted to industrial and commercial land use. The industrial land uses fall mainly in three areas of the city. (1) Along BNSF railroad tracks from the south border to 61st Ave, (2) in the northern part of the city between the railroad tracks and University Ave north of 79 Way (3) and along Central Ave near the Medtronic and Onan campuses. Few vacant lands are available for future commercial and industrial development. Residential development and trends: Residential land use comprises approximately 34 % of the city’s total land area. Residential uses include single-family detached housing, mobile homes, multi-family apartment complexes, individual apartment buildings, town homes, twin homes, and condominiums. Single-family residential land use constitutes 29.6% of the total land area. Future opportunities for residential development will likely only be due to redevelopment initiatives due to the limited available land. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: Interstate 694 runs east/west in the southern area of the city. Two State Highways run through the City of Fridley, State Hwy 65 and State Hwy 47, as well as numerous county roads and municipal state aid roadways. Burlington Northern Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 144 Santa Fe rail yard is located in the southern part of Fridley and the railroad runs north/south throughout the city. The Northstar Commuter passenger rail line shares the BNSF tracks, providing service north to Big Lake and south to Minneapolis, making connections to bus and light rail service to many other destinations, including MSP Airport.

The Northstar Commuter passenger rail line shares the BNSF tracks, providing service north to Big Lake and south to Minneapolis, making connections to bus and light rail service to many other destinations, including MSP Airport. HAM LAKE Geographic location and characteristics: The City of Ham Lake is a thirty-six square mile (23,040 acres) suburb approximately 20 miles north of Minneapolis/St. Paul, located in the middle of Anoka County, with Latitude of 45.25 N and Longitude of 93.20 W and an elevation of 915 feet. The city is bordered by East Bethel to the north, It has five natural lakes: Ham Lake (193 acres), Lake Netta (168 acres), Coon Lake (1259 acres with only a portion of this lake located in the City), Mallard Lake (23 acres) and South Coon Lake (49 acres). Ham Lake is basically a mixture of prairie and wetland with some forested areas. Public lands: Currently the City has approximately 350 acres of public parks, which includes 21 neighborhood parks and two regional parks. One regional park is adjacent to the City Hall (Lions Park) and provides ball fields, soccer fields, tennis courts, picnic facilities, walking trails, playground facilities, large covered shelter (200 capacity) restrooms and concession stand. The other is Ham Lake Park (over 100 acres), adjacent to Ham Lake, with many of the same amenities but also includes an indoor shelter, public boat access and fishing pier. A trail system has been established to provide safe pathways for bikes and pedestrians and is implemented as land develops and/or street construction projects take place. Private fee areas: Majestic Oaks Golf Course consists of 330 acres (two eighteen-hole and one nine-hole courses) and is a privately-owned facility that must remain open to the public through a development agreement through 2030. Ham Lake Sportsman Club is a clay target range and Ham Lake Resort is located adjacent to Ham Lake with 143 sites available. Carlos Avery Game Farm abuts the City to the east. It is a 106-acre wildlife management area that allows permit hunting. Agriculture and forestry: Of the thirty-six square miles comprising Ham Lake, three square miles are sod fields. There are approximately 4,000 acres of land in the City that is presently either actively farmed for crops, used as pasture, or remains wooded. In terms of contiguous tracts suitable for conventional agriculture, there are nine sites containing as much as 160 continuous acres of land suitable for such purposes. The eastern portion of the City contains the greatest amount of suitable farmland. The City does not consider animal feedlots compatible with urban settlement. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 145 It is expected that the housing market, will eventually lead most of the farming operations to convert to single-family residential uses. Finally, in that sod-farming activity does result in removal of soil, existing sod farms will eventually return to their former status as wetland and be used as open space and wildlife habitat. It is the City’s intention to prevent the reclaiming of sod farmland by adopting controls that enhance the return of these lands to a natural wetland state. The urban forest of Ham Lake is comprised of individual stands of native trees, which include: oak, maple, pine, and lowland species. The City has implemented a Shade Tree Disease Control Program. Commercial and industrial development and trends: Ham Lake currently has eight commercial zoning classifications. I-P (Industrial Park); I-1 (Light Industrial); CD-5 (Commercial Development 1,2,3,4,5 with each allowing specific uses) and GF (Government Facilities). The City of Ham Lake has approximately 400 businesses located in the city. There are currently 5 active major industrial/commercial parks and almost all of the rest of the businesses are abutting the Trunk Highway 65 corridor. The commercial/industrial parks are: Ham Lake Industrial Park (22 light industrial businesses ranging from machine shops to construction companies); Bunker Lake Commercial Park, Majestic Oaks Commercial Park, Fox Tail Ridge, Christensen, Stone Estates, North Pine, Rosewood Addition, Lachinski, and Enterprise Plaza. All commercial/industrial parks maintain high standards of building construction and are occupied by concrete block buildings. An additional two small industrial Parks are Wybrite and Gilpin, which house only five small businesses. The major retail area of the City is located at Trunk Highway 65 and Crosstown Blvd. This area contains the supermarket, bank, library, and numerous smaller retail facilities. The City will continue to focus to develop/redevelop this area. Neighborhood commercial centers are and will be used to provide convenience facilities in the eastern portion of the City. Residential development and trends: Currently, the City has eight residential zoning categories: R-1 (Single-Family Residential); R-2 (Multi-Family Residential); R-A (Rural Single Family Residential); RS-1 (Shoreland Residential – General Development); RS-2 (Shoreland Residential – Recreational Development); R-M (Manufactured Home); PUD (Planned Unit Development); and R-AH (Affordable Housing District). The City of Ham Lake has over 5,000 dwelling units (which includes approximately 450 units for low-income families and senior citizens), with room for perhaps another 1,600. Included in this total are 285 mobile home units in the Flamingo Terrace Mobile Home Park. 90% of all housing in the City is single-family housing. Only about 2/3 of the City’s 23,040 acres are even capable of being developed, but approximately 2,560 acres of this are (or will be) used for parklands, road right-of-way, commercial uses and golf courses, reducing the developable area for residential use to about 58% of the total land area (approximately 13,363 acres). The City prefers to continue to allow all development at a residential density of at least 1.0 acre per unit, both to keep a rural feel and the logistics of attempting to service a community that is comprised of approximately one-third wetlands with a municipal sewer/water. Users of the sewer system must pay for the system, and the cost extending lines across hundreds of acres Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 146 of wetlands to serve relatively small and isolated pockets of residential development is considered prohibitive. It is estimated that when fully developed there will be a resident population of 19,500. This future plan will include approximately 650 housing units available for low-income families and senior citizens. There is no organized historical preservation entity in the City, although Anoka County maintains an active and effective historical society. One site (a pioneer church building) is maintained by the parent congregation. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: Ham Lake infrastructure includes a major State Trunk Highway 65 passing through from south to north. County Roads 116, 16, 18, 52, 60, 61, 68, and 17 also bisect Ham Lake. While only one road leading out of the City to the east, the natural barrier created by the Carlos Avery Game Preserve makes this situation necessary and permanent. Intra-City travel if provided by north/south collectors (University Avenue, Radisson Road, Xylite Street and Naples Street). County Roads 116, 16, 18 and 149th Avenue NE, provides the east/west collection function. HILLTOP Geographic location and characteristics: The City of Hilltop is located in southern Anoka County, within the City of Columbia Heights, a first-ring suburb on the northeast border of the City of Minneapolis. Hilltop is completely surrounded by and shares all of its borders with the City of Columbia Heights. Hilltop is 80 acres in size or 0.1 square miles. The City of Hilltop is located at Latitude 45.05 N and Longitude 93.24 W and has an elevation of 942 feet. Public lands: Hilltop has 27 acres of public land within the city. These areas include schools, city offices, public works facilities and a small public park. Private fee areas: There are no such areas in Hilltop. Agriculture and forestry: There are no such areas in Hilltop. Commercial and industrial development and trends: Hilltop is fully developed. There is no significant growth projected. Redevelopment/ renewal of aging commercial areas is all that is expected in the near to distant future. Residential development and trends: Hilltop is fully developed. No growth in the number of households is projected. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: There is no planned expansion of streets, water or sanitary sewer service.

Retail uses dominate commercial areas, although there are automobile service uses, restaurants, storage facilities, professional offices, and other commercial use as well. There is no future growth anticipated. The center of commercial activity in Lexington is Northway Shopping Center, located along the south side of the Lake Drive frontage road. This center, which includes 90,000 square feet, was built about 1950 and remodeled in 1989. The city considers Northway and its immediate environs to be Lexington’s “downtown.” Residential development and trends: The City of Lexington is nearly fully developed, with residential uses constituting a majority of the area. Maximum anticipated residential growth is 20 homes. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: Local road improvements. LINO LAKES Geographic location and characteristics: The City of Lino Lakes is located in northeastern Anoka County, approximately 30 miles north of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Lino Lakes shares its borders with Blaine, Circle Pines, Shoreview, Columbus, White Bear Lake Township, North Oaks and Hugo. The City of Lino Lakes is 33 square miles in size. While residents are attracted to the city because of its natural amenities, including 13 lakes and several seasonal wetlands, Interstate l-35E and l-35W make it just a 20- minute drive to either downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.

For utilities, the City will be attempting to extend City sewer and water trunk lines north and east of the existing service to facilitate residential growth. There is possible construction of new City wells within the next 5 years as well. SPRING LAKE PARK Geographic location and characteristics: The City of Spring Lake Park is located mostly in southern Anoka County, with a tiny portion located in the western part of Ramsey County. The City of Spring Lake Park is approximately 10 miles north of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Blaine, Fridley, Coon Rapids and Mounds View border Spring Lake Park. The City of Spring Lake Park is 2.9 square miles in size and has latitude of 45.10 N and longitude of 93.23 W and an elevation of 902 feet. Public lands: The City has 186 acres of public land within the City. These areas include churches, schools, city offices, public work facilities, and fire stations. Within the City, there is 39 acres of Public Park. Private fee areas: There are no private fee areas in the City of Spring Lake Park. Agriculture and forestry: There are no agriculture and forestry areas in the City of Spring Lake Park. Commercial and industrial development and trends: Spring Lake Park does not have a wide range of commercial businesses. Commercial businesses in the city either attempt to capture pass-by traffic along Highway 65, County Road 10 and University Avenue, or they are Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 153 destination businesses. Light industrial businesses are located east of Highway 65. Spring Lake Park due to its size and development does not anticipate much growth in the way of commercial or industrial development. Scattered though out the City of Spring Lake Park are strip malls with numerous other family owned businesses and other small businesses. Since the last mitigation plan HyVee has purchased a site at Hwy 65 and 81st Ave and is currently constructing a grocery store to open in Nov. 2019. Residential development and trends: The City is predominately a residential community with families and children. This is expected to continue, although the aging of the population and the need for senior housing, as well as the need for housing for young adults, presents an opportunity for the development of different types of housing, such as multiple-family apartments, townhouses and housing units on one level. The Metropolitan Council’s forecasts assumes that growth in Spring Lake Park’s population and households will result almost entirely from the development of multi-family housing at a density of 10 dwelling units per acre. Based on the Council’s estimate of 2,503 households in 1995, that would be an increase of 167 dwelling units during the next 20 years. Since the last mitigation plan update the City of Spring Lake Park has added a large multi-family apartment complex consisting of 194 units. The City has also added several small townhomes and single- family dwelling units. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: Consists of two State Highways within the City of Spring Lake Park. On the Westside of the City is MN Hwy 47 that runs north and south. The city is also divided in half north and south with MN Highway 65 (Central Ave). Anoka County Road 10 runs east to west through the northern portion of Spring Lake Park connecting both Highway corridors. Since the last mitigation plan update the City of Spring Lake Park has completed a Local Surface Water Management Plan, which has identified several roadways within the City that are prone to flooding. These areas are, but not limited to: Arthur St NE and 81st Ave NE, 8200 to 8300 Block of Monroe St Ne, 7700 block to 7800 block of Terrace Rd Ne, 8200 block to 8300 block of Able St. Ne, 8400 block of Able St, Ne and 8300 block of Fillmore St Ne. The City has also identified several drainage ponds that need upgrading and are part of the Local Surface Water Management Plan. Theses ponds are, but not limited to: Arthur St. Ne and 81st Ave, Triangle Park Pond and Fillmore St Ne. and 83rd Ave Ne drainage area. A copy of the Local Surface Water Management Plan is on file at the Spring Lake Park City Hall for review. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 155 4BSECTION 5: CAPABILITIES, MITIGATION AND MAINTENANCE 31B5.1 Jurisdiction Capabilities This section of the Plan discusses the capability of Anoka County and the participating local jurisdictions to implement hazard mitigation actions. It consists of the following eight subsections: Capability Assessment Overview Conducting the Capability Assessment Capability Assessment Findings External Resources Disaster Shelters Previously Implemented Mitigation Measures Repetitive Flooding Mitigation Linking Capability Assessment, Risk Assessment, and Mitigation Strategy 57B5.1.1 Capability Assessment Overview The purpose of conducting a capability assessment is to determine the ability of a local jurisdiction to implement a comprehensive mitigation strategy, and to identify potential opportunities for establishing or enhancing specific mitigation policies, programs, or projects. As in any planning process, it is important to try to establish goals, objectives and actions that are feasible, based on an understanding of the organizational capacity of those agencies or departments tasked with their implementation. A capability assessment helps determine which mitigation actions are practical and likely to be implemented given a local government’s regulatory framework, level of administrative and technical support, and fiscal resources. A capability assessment has two primary components: an inventory of a local jurisdiction’s relevant plans, ordinances, or programs already in place, and an analysis of its capacity to carry them out. A capability assessment also highlights the positive mitigation measures already in place or being implemented at the local level, which should continue to be supported and enhanced through future mitigation efforts. The capability assessment completed for Anoka County and its jurisdictions serves as a critical planning step and is an integral part of the foundation for designing an effective multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation strategy. Coupled with the Risk Assessment, the Capability Assessment helps identify and target meaningful mitigation actions for incorporation in the Mitigation Strategy section of the Hazard Mitigation Plan. It not only helps establish the goals and objectives for Anoka County, but also ensures that those goals and objectives are realistically achievable under given local conditions. 58B5.1.2 Conducting the Capability Assessment In order to facilitate the inventory and analysis of local government capabilities throughout Anoka County, a Capability Assessment Survey was distributed to Anoka County and its municipalities. The survey was completed by appropriate local government officials and requested information on a variety of “capability indicators” such as existing local plans, policies, programs, or ordinances that contribute to the community’s ability to implement hazard mitigation actions. Other indicators requested included information related to each jurisdiction’s fiscal, administrative, and technical capabilities, such as access to local budgetary and personnel resources for mitigation purposes. At a minimum, survey results provide an extensive inventory of existing local plans, ordinances, programs, and resources in place or under development. The survey instrument thereby not only helps accurately assess each Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 156 jurisdiction’s degree of local capability, but also serves as a good source of introspection for those jurisdictions wishing to improve their capability as identified gaps, weaknesses, or conflicts can be viewed as opportunities for specific actions to be proposed as part of the community’s mitigation strategy. 59B5.1.3 Capability Assessment Findings The findings of the capability assessment are summarized in this Plan to provide insight into relevant capacity of Anoka County’s jurisdictions to implement hazard mitigation activities. All information is based upon the responses provided by local government officials to the Capability Assessment Survey and during meetings throughout the planning process. The information provided by participating jurisdictions was scored using a simple scoring methodology to rank each jurisdiction’s overall capability. A total score and general capability rating of “High,” “Medium” or “Low” was then determined for each jurisdiction according to the total number of points. The classifications are designed to provide an assessment of each jurisdiction’s local capability. The result of this multi-jurisdictional capability assessment provides critical information for developing an effective and meaningful mitigation strategy. 115B5.1.3.1 Planning and Regulatory Capability Planning and regulatory capability is based on the implementation of existing plans, ordinances, and programs by a local government. These measures can help demonstrate a local jurisdiction’s commitment to guiding and managing growth, development, and redevelopment in a responsible manner while maintaining the general welfare of the community. Such measures include emergency response and mitigation planning, comprehensive land use planning, and transportation planning, in addition to the enforcement of zoning or subdivision ordinances and building codes that regulate how land is developed and structures are built. Although some conflicts can arise, these planning initiatives present significant opportunities to integrate hazard mitigation principles and practices into the local decision-making process. This assessment is designed to provide an overview of the key planning and regulatory tools in place or under development for jurisdictions in Anoka County, along with their potential effect on loss reduction. This information will help identify opportunities to address existing gaps, weaknesses, or conflicts with other initiatives, in addition to integrating this Plan with existing planning mechanisms, where appropriate. The table below provides a summary of the relevant local plans, ordinances, and programs already in place or under development for Anoka County’s participating jurisdictions. A more detailed discussion on jurisdiction planning and regulatory capability follows. Building codes regulate construction standards. In many communities, permits and inspections are required for new construction. Decisions regarding the adoption of building codes (that account for hazard risk), the type of permitting process required both before and after a disaster, and the enforcement of inspections all affect the level of hazard risk faced by a community. Each of Anoka County’s jurisdictions has either recently adopted or has begun the process of reviewing the International Building Code (IBC), which was first introduced in 2000 and recently revised in 2012. Adoption of the new code has become a priority for city officials because of the building code effectiveness. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 157 A Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) guides the scheduling of spending on public improvements. A CIP can serve as an important mechanism to guide future development away from identified hazard areas. Limiting public spending in hazardous areas is one of the most effective long-term mitigation actions available to local governments. A Comprehensive Plan incorporates all aspects of the various tactical plans and programs into a strategic county plan that guides the county and its jurisdictions to successfully improve and enhance the quality of life for all citizens. An Economic Development Plan provides for development of existing business in the county and a strategy to attract new business to locate in the county. A successful Economic Development Plan provides long-term, attractive employment opportunity to communities and increases the tax base. An Emergency Response Plan is part of an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that outlines responsibilities and the means by which resources are deployed following an emergency incident or disaster. Anoka County Emergency Management maintains a countywide EOP. The EOP addresses emergency operations on behalf of all jurisdictions in Anoka County. During a disaster, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) serves as the hub of operations where local government officials and agency representatives from across the county will report to ensure all response efforts are effectively coordinated. The county’s EOP has been determined to have a moderate effect on loss reduction, as its emphasis focuses on preparedness and response operations versus hazard mitigation activities. However, the mission, execution, and implementation of the EOP strongly support the goals of this Plan. A Flood Management Plan (or a flood mitigation plan) provides a framework for action regarding the corrective and preventative measures in place to reduce flood-related impacts. Typical flood control activities include: structural flood control works (such as bank stabilization, levees, and drainage channels), acquisition of flood-prone land, flood insurance programs and studies, river and basin management plans, public education programs, and flood warning and emergency preparedness activities. Anoka County and its municipalities have pursued a variety of flood mitigation activities that strongly support loss reduction efforts. These activities will be built upon as actions in this Plan are implemented. An important strategy for all jurisdictions is participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition to approaches that cut across hazards, such as education, outreach, and the training of local officials, the NFIP contains specific regulatory measures that enable government officials to determine where and how growth occurs relative to flood hazards. Participation in the NFIP is voluntary for local governments, but the program is promoted by FEMA as a basic first step for implementing and sustaining an effective hazard mitigation program. It is therefore used as a key indicator for measuring local capability as part of this assessment. In order for a county or municipality to join the NFIP, it must adopt a local flood damage prevention ordinance that requires jurisdictions to follow established minimum building standards in the floodplain. These standards require that all new buildings and substantial improvements to existing buildings will be protected from damage by the 100-year flood, and that new floodplain development will not aggravate existing flood problems or Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 158 increase damage to other properties. Anoka County and its municipalities participate in the National Flood Insurance program. Another key service provided by the NFIP is the mapping of identified flood hazard areas. Once prepared, the FIRMs are used to assess flood hazard risk, regulate construction practices, and set flood insurance rates. FIRMs are an important source of information to educate residents, government officials, and the private sector about the likelihood of flooding in their community. Another voluntary program that provides significant value is the Community Rating System (CRS). CRS is an incentive-based program that encourages counties and municipalities to undertake defined flood mitigation activities that go beyond the minimum requirements of the NFIP, adding extra local measures to provide protection from flooding. All of the 18 creditable CRS mitigation activities are assigned a range of point values. As points are accumulated and reach identified thresholds, communities can apply for an improved CRS class. Class ratings, which run from 10 to 1, are tied to flood insurance premium reductions. As class ratings improve, the percent reduction in flood insurance premiums for NFIP policyholder’s increases. CRS Premium Discounts, by class as defined by FEMA, are depicted in the adjacent table. CR Any community that is in full compliance with the rules and regulations of the NFIP may apply to FEMA for a CRS classification better than class 10. The CRS application process has been greatly simplified over the past several years based on community comments to make the CRS user- friendly. Extensive technical assistance is also available for communities who request it. Anoka County and its municipalities are investigating participation in the CRS program. Participating Anoka County Jurisdictions will continue to be a part of the National Flood Insurance Program by maintaining in good standing with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and comply with local regulations pertaining to the NFIP. Jurisdictions participating in the National Flood Insurance Program will follow criteria are established in the NFIP regulations at 44 CFR §60.3. The jurisdictions will adopt and maintain floodplain management ordinance that meets or exceeds the minimum NFIP criteria. As part of the compliance requirements participating Jurisdictions have adopted building codes and flood management plans to regulate construction in Special Flood Hazard Areas. In Anoka County, each city is responsible for updating flood maps for their jurisdiction; Anoka County assists Linwood Township with their needs for updating flood maps.

Hazard Setback and Hillside Ordinances or Regulations are usually part of a comprehensive land use plan. Typically, a comprehensive plan is comprised of demographics, land use, transportation elements, and community facilities. Given the nature of the plan and its regulatory standing, the integration of hazard mitigation measures into the comprehensive plan enhances the likelihood of achieving risk reduction goals, objectives, and actions. A Post Disaster Ordinance provides for the protection of lives and property and enhances the recovery from disasters. The ordinance is used to control price gouging and allows local governments to facilitate the purchase and deployment of equipment and resources to speed disaster recovery. A Post Disaster Recovery Plan provides the framework to establish assistance to victims of disaster, assess the long-term economic effects of disaster on the community, facilitate post- disaster recovery, and assist the community with redevelopment plans. Real Estate Disclosure is an important issue that facilitates real estate transactions and ensures that both buyers and sellers fully understand any mitigating circumstances associated with properties. Shoreline Ordinances identify and provide for shoreline maintenance and control. Shorelines of waterways including creeks, tributaries, canals, rivers lakes and oceans require continual maintenance to mitigate flooding and provide environmental protection. Site Plans/Subdivision Ordinance is intended to regulate the development of residential, commercial, industrial, or other uses, including public infrastructure, as land is subdivided into lots for future development. Subdivision design that accounts for natural hazards can dramatically reduce the exposure of future development. Wildfire Ordinances are a means to control the potential of wildfire occurrence by requiring burn permits and the reduction of fuel for wildfires in both urban interfaces and forests in general. Zoning Ordinances are the means to control land use by local governments. As part of a community’s police power, zoning ordinances are used to protect the public health, safety and welfare of its citizens. Since zoning regulations enable local jurisdictions to limit the type and density of development, it can serve as a powerful tool when applied in identified hazard areas. All Anoka County jurisdictions have zoning ordinances. The legal and regulatory capability summary below defines deficiencies in existing jurisdictional planning and regulatory tools for Anoka County and its municipalities. This information will serve as a guide for those jurisdictions committed to improving their communities, and goal actions to mitigate these deficiencies are included in this Plan. The survey identifies whether resources are jurisdiction employees/contractors, resources that are provided by other authorities or are not in place Additional information on administrative and technical capability can be obtained through Anoka County or its local jurisdictions.

Administrative capability is evaluated by determining how mitigation activities are assigned to local departments and the personnel resources available to implement the activities. Key Resources to respond to and mitigate disaster include the following: Agriculture Risk Assessor to assess the risk and vulnerability and implement mitigation of crops and livestock. Construction Practices management and monitoring to ensure that facilities meet established building codes, land use, and other ordinances in place to mitigate disasters. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 161 Emergency Manager to develop, manage and execute disaster plans in order to protect lives and property from disasters.

This may take the form of outside grants or local- based revenue and financing. The costs associated with mitigation policy and project implementation vary widely. In some cases, policies are tied primarily to staff or administrative costs. In other cases, direct expenses are linked to an actual project such as the acquisition of flood prone homes, which can require a substantial commitment from local, state, and federal funding sources. The Capability Assessment Survey was used to capture information on each jurisdiction’s fiscal capability through the identification of locally available financial resources. The survey identifies whether the jurisdiction does or does not have the capability and scores overall fiscal capability.

There are designated Red Cross shelters and other facilities that are designated as shelters by municipalities and Anoka County. The Hazard Mitigation Appendix A includes the identified shelters and their characteristics. Local Jurisdictions have the responsibility for short term sheltering of individuals due to evacuation for hours 0 to 12, after which Red Cross Shelters and other facilities would be made ready to receive short term shelter evacuees depending on needs. 62B5.1.6 Previously Implemented Mitigation Measures The success of future mitigation efforts in a community can be gauged to some extent by its ongoing or past efforts. Previously implemented mitigation measures indicate that there is, or has been, a desire to reduce the effects of natural hazards, and the success of these projects can be influential in building local government support for new mitigation efforts. Anoka County’s previous mitigation efforts and programs include the following: • Each jurisdiction in Anoka County supports a public works department and many provide water and wastewater treatment facilities. • Allina and North Medical provide emergency medical service throughout the county. • Law enforcement is provided for each municipality, either by the 10 municipal law enforcement agencies, or by the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 166 • Fire Protection and fire medical / rescue services are provided for each municipality by one of 16 fire departments, with either all paid, a combination of paid and volunteer, or all volunteer firefighters. • Fridley has completed a project to construct a levee and enable bank stabilization along the Mississippi River to protect homes in certain vulnerable areas. • The City of Anoka completed a project to acquire property and remove chronically flood threatened homes along the Rum River. • Anoka County and the municipalities within, participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. • Minnesota health officials helped to develop a mass clinic plan. Anoka County Health Department's plan was tested during an August 2004 Strategic National Stockpile drill and subsequently revised to address problems found during that exercise. The plan was implemented for the H1N1 Pandemic in 2009. • Anoka County is responsible for planning a mass vaccination process should this be necessary due to contagious disease outbreak. Locations for mass dispensing sites have been identified, and a process for administering medicines is being refined and tested. • Practice exercises are conducted between HSEM, NWS, FBI, Anoka County Emergency Medical Services, city first responders and Anoka County Emergency Management to assure preparedness. • All facilities involved with hazardous materials provide annual TIER II reports. • Cities throughout Anoka County continue to add outdoor warning sirens to improve warning effectiveness, and to maintain existing sirens to insure proper operation. • The American Red Cross has multiple designated emergency shelters. We continue to work with the Red Cross on pet compliant shelters. • Multiple Anoka County communities have been active in the Firewise program, which works with the state Department of Natural Resources to remove potential fuel sources that may be involved in wild land fires. This mitigation effort limits the spread of wild land fires and helps to protect homes. • Anoka County participates in the Joint Terrorism Task Force. • Communities are participating in Lock Box programs with residents and business. State mitigation efforts and programs that are significant to Anoka County include the following: State of Minnesota Pipeline Safety Plan: The state of Minnesota, along with gas and oil pipeline providers, maintains a pipeline safety plan. Pipeline providers are required to schedule meetings with local officials to facilitate discussions about mitigation and response to pipeline disasters. The State Emergency Response Commission is responsible for implementing federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) provisions in Minnesota and serving as a technical advisor and information clearinghouse for state and federal hazardous materials programs. The Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency is the lead agency responsible for implementing EPCRA. Minnesota Emergency Management Plan (MEOP): The Minnesota Emergency Operations Plan (MMP) is the document that provides the foundation for all disaster and emergency response Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 167 operations conducted within the state of Minnesota. Minnesota state law requires HSEM to develop this plan and update it on a periodic basis. HSEM Regional Offices: HSEM has six Regional Offices. The regional office serves as the primary day-to-day point of contact with local governments and the citizens of the state. A Regional Program Coordinator heads each office. The Area Coordinators travel to local Emergency Management offices to help coordinate planning and preparedness activities, ensure that federally assisted counties are complying with grant requirements, and provide training to emergency responders. The RPC also serves as the agency’s conduit to state assistance to major emergencies. An HSEM RPC responds to any major emergency, emergencies involving multiple state agencies, hazardous materials, multiple fatalities, and other events upon the request of local officials. Each county in Minnesota has its own Local Emergency Management Director, and at least one designated Assistant Director, who serve at the direction of the respective County Boards. Because disasters occur at the local government level, the Local Director is the key to comprehensive community emergency management. Some local Emergency Management programs receive federal funding assistance through HSEM. Such programs must meet minimum mutually agreed upon criteria. These counties are called Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) counties. The HSEM Regional Offices are responsible for ensuring EMPG counties meet or exceed the minimum EMPG criteria. Anoka County is an EMPG county and member of the Twin Cities Urban Area under the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). The Domestic Preparedness Program is a partnership of federal, state and local agencies with the goal of insuring that, as a nation, we are prepared to respond to a terrorist attack involving nuclear, biological or chemical weapons - weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Today, the term "Homeland Security" is used to denote the concept of preparing for these kinds of events. We continue to review and update our county wide programs as guidance documents are published by the Department of Homeland Security. 63B5.1.7 Repetitive Flooding Mitigation This section describes the source of repetitive flooding problems and identifies the number and type (residential, commercial or governmental) of repetitive loss properties in the jurisdiction. A repetitive loss structure, as defined by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), is a structure that is covered by flood insurance by NFIP that has suffered flood damage twice over a 10-year period in which the average cost of repair is over 25% of the market value of the structure at the time of the event. The table below identifies the repetitive flooding sources structures and mitigation measures taken to reduce future incidents.

During the process of identifying the goals, objectives and mitigation actions, each jurisdiction must consider not only its level of hazard risk but also its existing capability to minimize or eliminate that risk. In jurisdictions where the overall hazard risk is considered to be HIGH, and local capability is considered LOW, specific mitigation actions that account for these conditions should be considered. This may include less costly actions such as minor ordinance revisions or public awareness activities. Also, specific capabilities may need to be improved in order to address recurring threats. In cases where the hazard vulnerability is LOW and overall capability is HIGH, more emphasis can be placed on actions that may impact future vulnerability such as guiding development away from known hazard areas. 32B5.2 Mitigation Strategy 65B5.2.1 Overview The intent of the Mitigation Strategy is to provide Anoka County and its municipal jurisdictions with goals that will guide future mitigation policy and project administration, along with a list of proposed actions deemed necessary to meet those goals and reduce the impact of natural and manmade hazards. It is designed to be comprehensive and strategic in nature. Development of the comprehensive strategy included a thorough review of all natural and selected manmade hazards, and identification of policies and projects to reduce the future impacts of hazards and assist the county and municipalities to achieve compatible economic, environmental, and social goals. The strategy ensures that all policies and projects are linked to established priorities and assigned to specific departments or individuals responsible for their implementation with target implementation deadlines. When applicable, funding sources are identified that can be used to assist in project implementation. The first step in designing the Mitigation Strategy includes a review of existing mitigation measures and the identification of countywide Mitigation Goals. Mitigation Goals represent broad statements that are achieved through the implementation of more specific, action-oriented objectives listed in the county’s Mitigation Action Plan. These actions include both hazard Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 169 mitigation policies (such as the regulation of land in known hazard areas through a local ordinance), and hazard mitigation projects that seek to address specifically targeted hazard risks (such as the mitigation of an area prone to repetitive flooding). The second step involves the identification and analysis of available mitigation measures to help achieve the identified mitigation goals. This is a long-term, continuous process sustained through the development and maintenance of this Plan. Alternative mitigation measures will continue to be considered as future mitigation opportunities become identified, as data and technology improve, as mitigation funding becomes available, and as this Plan is maintained. The third and last step in designing the Mitigation Strategy is the creation of the local Mitigation Action Plans (MAPs); The MAPs represent unambiguous plans for action and are considered to be the most essential outcome of the mitigation planning process. They include a prioritized listing of proposed hazard mitigation actions (policies and projects) for each of Anoka County’s jurisdictions, along with accompanying information regarding those agencies or individuals assigned responsibility for their implementation, potential funding sources and an estimated target date for implementation. The MAPs provide those individuals or agencies responsible for implementing mitigation actions with a clear roadmap that also serves as an important tool for monitoring progress over time. 66B5.2.2 Mitigation Goals The goals of the Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan were crafted early in the planning process through a facilitated discussion and brainstorming session with the Mitigation Steering Committee. At each step of the planning process, the overreaching goals were reviewed and modified, if necessary, based on any new information that was gathered and assimilated into the Plan. Some additional goals were added based on the analysis of the Capability Assessments submitted by each jurisdiction and feedback received in the community meetings. There are goals established for each hazard identified by the Hazard Committee as hazards that have a significant potential of impacting assets and population of Anoka County and the participating jurisdictions. The following goal statements represent a broad target for Anoka County and its jurisdictions to achieve through the implementation of their own specific Mitigation Action Plans before the next Plan update. 44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(3)(i): The mitigation strategy shall include a description of mitigation goals to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the important first step. It has been determined by the Anoka County Mitigation Steering Committee that the following goal statements are consistent with the State of Minnesota’s current mitigation planning goals as identified in the State of Minnesota’s Hazard Mitigation Plan promulgated by MEMA. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 170 COMMUNITY GOALS Jurisdiction Goals Each Mitigation Goal is paired with a Community Goal in section 5.2.5. Continue to improve jurisdictional capabilities to prepare for, respond to, mitigate, and recover from natural and technological disasters. Continue participation in drills and exercises to improve response capabilities for all hazards events. Continue participation in the National Flood Insurance Program or similar Federal Flood Insurance Program. Continue aggressive fire prevention education. Improve citizen awareness and preparedness education. Improve technological tools to provide development of databases relating to hazard mitigation. Support and participate in cooperative jurisdictional planning to improve hazard mitigation. Review existing codes and ordinances to ensure adequacy in restricting development in identified hazard areas. Support Minnesota Homeland Security strategies to counter terrorism. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 171 67B5.2.3 Identification and Analysis of Mitigation Techniques In formulating Anoka County’s Mitigation Strategy, a wide range of objectivities were considered in order to help achieve the general countywide goals in addition to the specific hazard concerns of each participating jurisdiction. Multiple objectives have been established for each mitigation goal. All activities considered by the EM Group can be classified under one of the following six broad categories of mitigation techniques: • Prevention activities are intended to keep hazard problems from getting worse and are typically administered through those government programs or regulatory actions that influence the way land is developed and buildings are constructed. They are particularly effective in reducing a community’s vulnerability, especially in areas where development has not occurred or capital improvements have not been substantial. • Property Protection measures involve the modification of existing buildings and structures to help them better withstand the forces of a hazard, or removal of the structures from hazardous locations. • Natural Resource Protection reduces the impact of natural hazards by preserving or restoring natural areas and their protective functions. Such areas include floodplains, wetlands, steep slopes and sand dunes. Parks, recreation, or conservation organizations often implement these protective measures. • Structural Mitigation Projects are intended to lessen the impact of a hazard by modifying the environmental natural progression of the hazard event through construction. They are usually designed by engineers and managed or maintained by public works staff. • Emergency Services Although not typically considered a “mitigation” technique, emergency service measures do minimize the impact of a hazard event on people and property. These commonly are actions taken immediately prior to, during, or in response to a hazard event. • Public Education and Awareness are used to alert residents, elected officials, business owners, property buyers, and visitors about hazards, hazardous areas, and mitigation techniques they can use to protect themselves and their property. 44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(3)(ii): The mitigation strategy shall include a section that identifies and analyzes a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects being considered to reduce the effect of each hazard, with particular emphasis on new and existing buildings and infrastructure.

Please provide us with any additional comments/suggestions/questions that you have regarding your risk to future hazard events Done The Community Survey results are located in Appendix C. 68B5.2.4 Selection of Mitigation Techniques In order to determine the most appropriate mitigation techniques for Anoka County and its municipal jurisdictions, local government officials reviewed and considered the findings of the Capability Assessment and Risk Assessment. Other considerations included each mitigation action’s effect on overall risk to life and property, its ease of implementation, its degree of political and community support, its general cost-effectiveness, and funding availability (if necessary). The following table of alternative mitigation actions was the basis for developing the mitigation techniques.

In response to this requirement, the Anoka County Mitigation Steering Committee completed a Mitigation Technique Matrix to make certain they addressed, at a minimum, those hazards posing the greatest threat. The matrix provides the committee with the opportunity to cross-reference each of the priority hazards with the comprehensive range of available mitigation techniques, including prevention; property protection; natural resource protection; structural projects; emergency services; and public education and awareness.

Each Jurisdictions individual goals has been designed to address the multi-jurisdictional community goals of this Hazard Mitigation Plan, in addition to the particular goals and objectives of each individual jurisdiction. They will be maintained on a regular basis according to the plan maintenance procedures established in the maintenance section of this plan. Below are tables that identify the number of actions that pertain to a given jurisdiction and the number of actions that address structures and infrastructure 44 CFR Requirement 201.6(c)(3)(iv): For multi-jurisdictional plans, there must be identifiable action items specific to the jurisdiction requesting FEMA approval or credit for the plan Jurisdiction Mitigation Actions Jurisdiction Mitigation Actions Anoka County 47 Fridley 20 Andover 15 Ham Lake 5 Anoka 12 Hilltop 5 Bethel 9 Lexington 8 Blaine 12 Lino Lakes 11 Centerville 13 Linwood Twp 8 Circle Pines 4 Nowthen 8 Columbia Heights 15 Oak Grove 17 City of Columbus 12 Ramsey 23 Coon Rapids 7 Spring Lake Park 10 East Bethel 12 St. Francis 16 44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(3)(ii) MITIGATION ACTIONS The mitigation strategy shall include a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects being considered to reduce the effect of each hazard, with particular emphasis on new and existing buildings and infrastructure. 289 Actions At first glance, the large number of action items indicated above may seem excessive. However, the Emergency Management Group believes that each of the following goals, objectives, and action items is necessary to continue to address hazard issues in Anoka County. It is important to note that Anoka County’s individual Mitigation Action Plans include an array of actions targeting multiple hazards, not just those classified as high risk. It was the intent of the committee to establish realistic, attainable actions that can be accomplished within the present fiscal capabilities of the participating jurisdictions and accepted by the citizens of the county. All members of the EM Group agreed that starting with small steps, accomplishing the stated goals, and publicizing the success of the county’s mitigation efforts will open the community to accept of larger projects in the future. Many of the goals are interrelated (e.g. providing various categories of preparedness and awareness information to citizens at community events); these will be accomplished under a single, ongoing project. Many of the goals can be accomplished within existing department Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 183 budgets, costing only the time of employees already on staff. While “time is money” and hours have been estimated in dollars for each action item, there will be no requirement for additional funds to be budgeted to accomplish many of the action items. The success of this Plan hinges on three major action items; Anoka County Emergency Management is tasked with Plan oversight, to include project tracking, progress reports, and reconvening the EM Group as needed for Plan review and revision; in addition, Emergency Management will serve as lead agency for many of the action items. Emergency Management staff will continue to pursue all grant opportunities that become available to assist with funding countywide mitigation actions. Staff will continue to receive necessary training on grant writing and evaluation of grant criteria. Without assistance from the various grant programs available, Anoka County would not be able to begin many mitigation actions described in this plan without additional funding at the state or federal level. GIS hardware and updated software will continue to be purchased and existing county GIS/Technology staff continue training to allow the inclusion of HAZUS-MH capability to more fully assess hazards throughout the county. In addition to hazard assessment, this capability will extend to planning and zoning, school boards, utilities and infrastructure, and all emergency service agencies. The hazard mitigation planning process has brought together a group of dedicated representatives from the twenty-two jurisdictions comprising Anoka County. An early suggestion from several members of the planning committee that the group continue to meet on a regular schedule after Plan approval speaks for the cooperation and sense of community each jurisdiction brings to the planning effort and instills confidence that the jurisdictions will unite in mitigation and other efforts to meet the following goals. It is the vision of Anoka County and its municipalities to promote citizen and governmental responsibility for hazard awareness and preparedness, and to foster cooperative planning among the jurisdictions to reduce the impact of natural and manmade hazards on public and private assets, and on the safety and welfare of all citizens. During the Comprehensive Plan Update, the Planning team reviewed all the goals from the 2006 plan and marked each goal as being completed, ongoing, or canceled. Jurisdictions were provided with the opportunity to add new mitigation goals to the plan. Through the update process each Jurisdiction reviewed and updated their mitigation goals. The goals are listed in section 5.2.5 as New, Ongoing Completed, or Canceled.

In preparing the individual Mitigation Actions Plans, each jurisdiction considered their overall hazard risk and capability to mitigate identified hazards as recorded through the risk and capability assessment process and to meet the countywide mitigation goals and the unique needs of their community. Prioritizing mitigation actions for each jurisdiction was based on the “STAPLEE” process. “STAPLEE” uses multiple factors under the categories of Social, Technical, Administration, Legal, Economic and Environment. For each goal that is new or continued, the respective jurisdiction reviewed the “STAPLEE” rating and adjusted for any changes that have occurred in the community since the previous plan was reviewed. • SOCIAL Community Acceptance – L=1 • 1 – Potential objection from public and/or very expensive. • 2 – Unknown if objectionable, or costs may be significant. • 3 – Not objectionable and low/no costs.

in completing the STAPLEE Criteria form, scores for many goal actions were identical, and provided little help in assigning priority. This form did allow the committee a thorough dissection of each goal action and prompted the elimination of some goals. After long discussion, the Committee assigned planned implementation dates based on the following rationale: The STAPLEE Rating will help guide the process for implementing each goal. Many of the goals have been continued from the previous Hazard Mitigation Plan and will continue to be addressed during the next plans lifespan.

Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 267 33B5.3 Mitigation Implementation and Plan Maintenance This section discusses how the Mitigation Strategy will be implemented by Anoka County’s participating jurisdictions and how the overall Hazard Mitigation Plan will be evaluated and enhanced over time. This section also discusses how the public will continue to be involved in the hazard mitigation planning process. It consists of the following four subsections: • Implementation • Incorporating Mitigation into Existing Planning Mechanisms • Monitoring, Evaluation and Enhancement • Continued Public Involvement 72B5.3.1 Implementation Each jurisdiction participating in this Plan is responsible for implementing specific mitigation actions as prescribed in the adopted Mitigation Actions. In each Mitigation Action Plan, every proposed action is assigned to a specific local department or agency in order to assign responsibility and accountability and increase the likelihood of subsequent implementation. This approach enables individual jurisdictions to update their unique mitigation strategy as needed without altering the broader focus of the countywide Plan. The separate adoption of locally specific actions also ensures that each jurisdiction is not held responsible for monitoring and implementing the actions of other jurisdictions involved in the planning process. In addition to the assignment of a local lead department or agency, an implementation time period or a specific implementation date has been assigned in order to assess whether actions are being implemented in a timely fashion. As necessary, Anoka County and its participating jurisdictions will seek outside funding sources to implement mitigation projects in both the pre- disaster and post-disaster environments. When applicable, potential funding sources have been identified for proposed actions listed in the Mitigation Action Plans. 73B5.3.2 Incorporating Mitigation into Existing Planning Mechanisms It will be the responsibility of each participating jurisdiction to determine additional implementation procedures when appropriate. This includes integrating the requirements of the Anoka County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazards Mitigation Plan into other local planning documents, processes, or mechanisms such as: • Comprehensive Plans • Strategic Plans • Capital Improvement Plans • Growth Management Plans • Ordinances, Resolutions, Regulations • Continuity of Operations Plans 44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(4)(i): The plan shall include a plan maintenance process that includes a section describing the method and schedule of monitoring, evaluating, and updating the mitigation plan within a five-year cycle. 44 CFR Requirement 44 CFR Part 201.6(c)(4)(ii): The plan maintenance process shall include a process by which local governments incorporate the requirements of the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms such as comprehensive or capital improvement plans, when appropriate. Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 268 Opportunities to integrate the requirements of this Plan into other local planning mechanisms will continue to be identified through future meetings of the Mitigation Steering Committee and through the five-year review process described herein. The primary means for integrating mitigation strategies into other local planning mechanisms will be through the revision, update and implementation of each jurisdiction’s individual plans that require specific planning and administrative tasks (e.g. plan amendments, ordinance revisions, capital improvement projects, etc.). The members of the Mitigation Steering Committee will remain charged with ensuring that the goals and strategies of new and updated local planning documents for their jurisdictions or agencies are consistent with the goals and actions of the Hazard Mitigation Plan, and will not contribute to increased hazard vulnerability in Anoka County or its participating municipalities During the planning process for new and updated local planning documents, such as a comprehensive plan, capital improvements plan, or emergency management plan, Anoka County will provide a copy of the Hazard Mitigation Plan to the appropriate parties and recommend that all goals and strategies of new and updated local planning documents are consistent with and support the goals of the Hazard Mitigation Plan and will not contribute to increased hazards in the affected jurisdiction(s). Although it is recognized that there are many possible benefits to integrating components of this Plan into other local planning mechanisms, the development and maintenance of this stand- alone Hazard Mitigation Plan is deemed by the Anoka County Mitigation Steering Committee to be the most effective and appropriate method to ensure implementation of local hazard mitigation actions at this time. 74B5.3.3 Monitoring, Evaluation and Enhancement A comprehensive review of the Anoka Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan is required every 5 years to ensure that the goals of the Plan are kept current, taking into account potential changes in hazard vulnerability and mitigation priorities. The required revisions ensure that the Plan is in full compliance with applicable federal and state regulations. Once each year the Anoka County Emergency Management Group will meet to review and monitor the progress of the Plan. During this annual meeting mitigation actions will be reviewed to insure they are being carried out according to each jurisdiction’s individual Mitigation Action Plan. If determined appropriate, or as requested, an annual report on the Plan will be developed and presented to local governing bodies of participating jurisdictions in order to report progress on the actions identified in the Plan and to provide information on the latest legislative requirements and/or changes to those requirements. 121B5.3.3.1 Five (5) Year Plan Review The Plan will be reviewed by the Mitigation Steering Committee every five years to determine whether there have been any significant changes in Anoka County that may, in turn, necessitate changes in the types of mitigation actions proposed. New development in identified hazard areas, an increased exposure to hazards, the increase or decrease in capability to address hazards, and changes to federal or state legislation are examples of factors that may affect the necessary content of the Plan. The Plan review provides community officials with an opportunity to evaluate those actions that have been successful and to explore the possibility of documenting potential losses avoided due to the implementation of specific mitigation Anoka County 2019 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan 269 measures. The Plan review also provides the opportunity to address mitigation actions that may not have been successfully implemented as assigned. The Anoka County Emergency Management Agency will be responsible for reconvening the Mitigation Steering Committee and conducting the five-year review. The Hazard Mitigation Plan Steering Committee with consist of the Anoka County Emergency Manager and Anoka County Emergency Management Specialists who will provide overall guidance and supporting the process of reviewing and updating the plan. During the five-year plan review process, the following questions will be considered as criteria for assessing the effectiveness and appropriateness of the Plan: • Do the goals address current and expected conditions? • Has the nature or magnitude of risks changed? • Are the current resources appropriate for implementing the Plan? • Are there implementation problems, such as technical, political, legal, or coordination issues with other agencies? • Have the outcomes occurred as expected? • Did the jurisdictions, agencies, and other partners participate in the Plan implementation process as proposed? Following the five-year review, any necessary revisions will be implemented according to the reporting procedures and plan amendment process outlined herein. Upon completion of the review and update/amendment process, the Anoka County Hazard Mitigation Plan will be submitted to the State Hazard Mitigation Officer for final review and approval in coordination with FEMA. During the previous five years of the Anoka Countywide Hazard Mitigation Plan the results are represented in the Hazard Mitigation Goals that have been completed by each of the jurisdictions.

This review aid is provided to planners to assist with the development of local multi-jurisdiction mitigation plans. FEMA’s Mitigation Plan Review Tool lists all of the elements but not the requirements as in the previous crosswalk. Section 1: Planning Checklist of this aid lists the requirements under each element for easy reference. The planner should indicate the location of the plan to indicate where the requirement is met. All jurisdictions participating in the mitigation planning process must show evidence of participation in Elements A thru E of the Regulation Checklist. The Multi-Jurisdictional Summary Sheet from FEMA guidance was edited for use by planners. The summary sheet is a way to track participation by jurisdiction. HSEM asks that a Minnesota Mitigation Planning Review Aid is completed when the plan is sent to HSEM for review. A completed aid will facilitate the state review by illustrating how requirements were met.

Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool 98 Element D: Plan Update, Evaluation, and Implementation (Plan Updates Only) How does the Plan go above and beyond minimum requirements to document the 5-year Evaluation and Implementation measures with respect to: • Status of previously recommended mitigation actions; • Identification of barriers or obstacles to successful implementation or completion of mitigation actions, along with possible solutions for overcoming risk; • Documentation of annual reviews and committee involvement; • Identification of a lead person to take ownership of, and champion the Plan; • Reducing risks from natural hazards and serving as a guide for decisions makers as they commit resources to reducing the effects of natural hazards; • An approach to evaluating future conditions (i.e. socio-economic, environmental, demographic, change in built environment etc.); • Discussion of how changing conditions and opportunities could impact community resilience in the long term; and • Discussion of how the mitigation goals and actions support the long-term community vision for increased resilience. Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool 99 B. Resources for Implementing Your Approved Plan Ideas may be offered on moving the mitigation plan forward and continuing the relationship with key mitigation stakeholders such as the following: • What FEMA assistance (funding) programs are available (for example, Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA)) to the jurisdiction(s) to assist with implementing the mitigation actions? • What other Federal programs (National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), Community Rating System (CRS), Risk MAP, etc.) may provide assistance for mitigation activities? • What publications, technical guidance or other resources are available to the jurisdiction(s) relevant to the identified mitigation actions? • Are there upcoming trainings/workshops (Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA), HMA, etc.) to assist the jurisdictions(s)? • What mitigation actions can be funded by other Federal agencies (for example, U.S. Forest Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Smart Growth, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Sustainable Communities, etc.) and/or state and local agencies? CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Diane Hankee PE, City Engineer MEETING DATE: August 12, 2019 TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 19-97, Approving Change Order No. 1, 2019 Pheasant Hills Circle Project VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting council consideration to approve of Change Order No. 1 for the 2019 Pheasant Hills Circle. BACKGROUND On May 13, 2019, the City Council accepted the quote for the 2019 Pheasant Hills Circle Project from T.A. Schifsky and Sons, Inc. in the amount of $158,283.30. Construction of the project began in late May. Observations during the watermain repairs identified that the sanitary sewer and water services to the three residents in Pheasant Hills Circle needed to be replaced. Televising of the sewer service lines confirmed this decision. Compaction of the service trenches and subgrade could not be achieved – requiring 3” minus rock be placed to stabilize subgrade soils. Public works also authorized the contractor to repair the fire hydrant at 1432 Pheasant Hills Drive. Change Order No. 1 to replace sanitary sewer and watermain services to the right of way line, repair hydrant at 1432 Pheasant Hills Drive, and place 3” minus rock to stabilize subgrade is in the amount of $65,524.25. The described improvements on this project will be funded through the City’s Utility Fund. The 2019 Pheasant Hills Circle Project contract with T.A. Schifsky and Sons, Inc. with Change Order No. 1 would be increased to $223,807.55.
