Sherburne County Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2020
<br />St. Cloud Hydroelectric Dam EAP— Sherburne County Emergency Services has a copy of the St. Cloud
<br />Hydroelectric Project Emergency Action Plan on file. This plan includes personnel responsibilities,
<br />contact information, and flow charts.
<br />See Appendix J for a list of all plans and programs, ordinances and staff in place in Sherburne County,
<br />and Appendix K: Local Mitigation Survey Reportfurther details each jurisdiction's plans, policies,
<br />programs, staff, funding and other resources they have in place in support of hazard mitigation.
<br />Mitigation Goal
<br />In Section 4 of this plan, the risk assessment identified Sherburne County as prone to a number of
<br />natural hazards. The steering committee members understand that although hazards cannot be
<br />eliminated altogether, Sherburne County can work toward building disaster -resistant communities.
<br />The goals and strategies developed for the 2019 Minnesota State Hazard Mitigation Plan for natural
<br />hazards were adopted for use in the Sherburne County Plan (Table 33). This framework will allow for
<br />integration of the mitigation actions that are listed by Sherburne County and its jurisdictions into the
<br />state plan. The state will then be able to develop a statewide strategy that will benefit all of Minnesota.
<br />Table 33. Goals from the 2019 Minnesota State Hazard Mitigation Plan
<br />Flooding Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss and economic disruption
<br />due to all types of flooding (riverine, flash, coastal, dam/levee failure).
<br />Wildfire Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, natural resource and
<br />economic disruption due to wildfires (forest, prairie, grass, and peat bogs).
<br />Windstorms Goal: Reduce deaths, injuries, property loss, and economic
<br />disruption due to windstorms.

<br />5.3 Mitigation Action and Project Strategies
<br />The mitigation actions in this plan are summarized into four main strategy types, as described in the
<br />FEMA publications Local Mitigation Planning Handbook (2013) and Mitigation Ideas: A Resource for
