<br />Ramsey County Multijurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | July2012 PF-1 <br />PREFACE <br />Mitigation Vision for the Future <br />Mitigation should be the very foundation of every emergency management agency’s plans and <br />procedures. Emergency management agencies must adopt mitigation practices to reduce, minimize, or <br />eliminate hazards in their community. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (PL 106-390) outlines the <br />criteria for communities to successfully implement hazard mitigation practices. <br />Ramsey County and its cities and township realize the benefits achieved by the development and <br />implementation of mitigation plans and strategies. Ramsey County elected officials, public safety <br />organizations, planners, and many others have worked together in the development and implementation of <br />this hazard mitigation plan, proving that they have the vision to implement mitigation practices and <br />therefore reduce the loss of life and property in their communities. <br /> <br />
