All cities and <br />townships were notified of the requirement concerning the Ramsey County Multijurisdictional HMP and <br />process. Representatives from all cities and townships and the County were invited to the general session <br />meeting on November 10, 2011 and have worked collectively over the past months to gather data that <br />included known hazards, flood prone areas, areas of vulnerability, existing mitigation plans and projects, <br />and technical information for the plan. The data was forwarded to the County’s emergency management <br />coordinator for review and plan development. Subsequent meetings have been held in an effort to ensure <br />that all information is correct, and that all agencies’ and organizations’ input was included as presented. <br />Listed in section 3.6 is a chronology of meetings and events. Municipalities participated by providing <br />input and data for the risk assessment section as well as the mitigation strategies. In addition to providing <br />input via e-mail, phone call, and in person contact, municipalities attended public meetings held to <br />introduce and discuss various elements of the plan. Each jurisdiction was an active participant in the <br />planning and development process.
