Emergency Management Plan

A Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) is required by several state and federal laws including Minnesota Statutes Chapter 12, Section 12.25 and Title VI of the PL 100-707, the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 (USC 68, sec, 5121 et seq). For two decades, Ramsey County has adopted a countywide approach to emergency operations planning. This approach saves money for all municipalities and county government agencies by reducing duplicated efforts and by streamlining both training and exercises/practice. It leads to saving lives, property, and the environment through a common language and a common concept of operations. The Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) adopted in 2023 is written based upon lessons learned from real world emergencies that have impacted Ramsey County over the past several years. It reflects changes to operational processes and directs attention to Ramsey County’s most vulnerable communities. This CEOP was developed with the input of many affected Ramsey County agencies and from our municipal partners, as well as outside subject matter experts to better prepare the county for disasters in the decades to come. The countywide CEOP serves as the required plan for all of Ramsey County’s suburban municipalities. Click here for a copy of the plan.
