RESOLUTION NO. 6602
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE COUNTYWIDE EMERGENCY
OPERATIONS PLAN
WHEREAS, Chapter 12 of Minnesota Statutes and the Robert T. Stafford Act, and the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 require all counties and
incorporated municipalities to develop and adopt plans for preparing for, responding to,
recovering from, and mitigating the effects of emergencies and disasters; and
WHEREAS, such plans are required to address all hazards and must meet no fewer
than 64 specific planning items; and
WHEREAS, such plans must be well integrated and coordinated to account for the fact
that emergencies in one jurisdiction impact on other nearby jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, the plan must include an implementation and maintenance process
including plan updates, integration of the plan into other planning documents and how
the County will activate and coordinate activities with the affected jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, Ramsey County Division of Emergency Management and Homeland
Security has indicated its willingness to coordinate these efforts should the municipality
so desire; and
WHEREAS, the plan will be shared with all municipalities, the County Board of
Commissioners and the State of Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Division of
Homeland Security and Emergency Management for coordination; and
WHEREAS, the above reasons make it desirable for the county to utilize common
planning and response elements designed to integrate our emergency preparedness,
response, recovery, and mitigation efforts; and
WHEREAS, such indication is a requirement of the National Incident Management
System (NIMS) and the National Response Plan which is the template for all
jurisdictions in the United States; and
WHEREAS, adoption of the all-hazard Emergency Operations Plan will make the
municipalities and the County eligible to receive Emergency Management Performance
Grant (EMGP) grants; and
