Approving the Hennepin County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park has participated in the hazard mitigation planning process as
established under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, and
Whereas, the Act establishes a framework for the development of a multi-jurisdictional County
Hazard Mitigation Plan; and
Whereas, the Act as part of the planning process requires public involvement and local
coordination among neighboring local units of government and businesses; and
Whereas, the Hennepin County Plan includes a risk assessment including past hazards, hazards
that threaten the County, an estimate of structures at risk, a general description of land uses and
development trends; and
Whereas, the Hennepin County Plan includes a mitigation strategy including goals and
objectives and an action plan identifying specific mitigation projects and costs; and
Whereas, the Hennepin County Plan includes a maintenance or implementation process
including plan updates, integration of the plan into other planning documents and how Hennepin
County will maintain public participation and coordination; and
Whereas, this multi-jurisdictional Plan was updated by the cities and Hennepin County in 2024,
and in 2018, since the initial adoption in January, 2011; and
Whereas, the plan has been shared with the Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and
Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for review and comment;
and
Whereas, the Hennepin County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan will make the county and
participating jurisdictions eligible to receive FEMA hazard mitigation assistance grants; and
Whereas, this is a multi-jurisdictional Plan and cities that participated in the planning process
may choose to also adopt the County Plan,
Now therefore be it resolved that the City of St. Louis Park supports the hazard mitigation
planning effort and wishes to approve the Hennepin County All-Hazard Mitigation Plan.
