EXECUTING THE PLAN Ramsey County Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | July 2012 6-3  Comprehensive plans  Strategic plans  Capital improvement plans  Growth management plans  Ordinances, resolutions, and regulations  Continuity of operations plans Opportunities to integrate the requirements of this plan into other local planning mechanisms will continue to be identified through future meetings of the Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee and through the five-year review process as required by FEMA. 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 (for example, plan amendments, ordinance revisions, capital improvement projects, etc.). The members of the Hazard 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 Ramsey County Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and will not contribute to increased hazard vulnerability in Ramsey 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, Ramsey County will provide a copy of the Ramsey County Multijurisdictional 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 Ramsey County Multijurisdictional 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 Ramsey County Hazard Mitigation Steering Committee to be the most effective and appropriate method to ensure implementation of local hazard mitigation actions at this time. All organizations will incorporate the Ramsey County Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan into existing plans in an effort to mitigate the impact of future disasters.
