Comprehensive Emergency Management Support
Ramsey County, MN Emergency Management and Homeland Security (EMHS)
About the project
In 2016, Ramsey County hired Tidal Basin to provide comprehensive emergency management services, including planning, mitigation, response, and recovery services on an on-call/as-needed basis. In 2019, the County received Public Assistance (PA) funds from FEMA for severe winter storms causing wind and flooding-related disasters.
In 2020, the state of Minnesota received a major disaster declaration for the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, Ramsey County received FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) and Public Assistance (PA) federal funding. At that time, our preparedness and recovery teams were engaged to support several COVID-related preparedness and recovery activities.
