Stafford Act, and the <br />Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 require all counties and <br />incorporated municipalities to develop and adopt plans for preparing for, responding to, <br />recovering from, and mitigating the effects of emergencies and disasters; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, such plans are required to address all hazards and must meet no fewer <br />than 64 specific planning items; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, such plans must be well integrated and coordinated to account for the fact <br />that emergencies in one jurisdiction impact on other nearby jurisdictions; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the plan must include an implementation and maintenance process <br />including plan updates, integration of the plan into other planning documents and how <br />the County will activate and coordinate activities with the affected jurisdictions; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, Ramsey County Division of Emergency Management and Homeland <br />Security has indicated its willingness to coordinate these efforts should the municipality <br />so desire; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the plan will be shared with all municipalities, the County Board of <br />Commissioners and the State of Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Division of <br />Homeland Security and Emergency Management for coordination; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the above reasons make it desirable for the county to utilize common <br />planning and response elements designed to integrate our emergency preparedness, <br />response, recovery, and mitigation efforts; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, such indication is a requirement of the National Incident Management <br />System (NIMS) and the National Response Plan which is the template for all <br />jurisdictions in the United States; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, adoption of the all-hazard Emergency Operations Plan will make the <br />municipalities and the County eligible to receive Emergency Management Performance <br />Grant (EMGP) grants; and <br />
