What has the City of Minneapolis done to prepare for an emergency?
In case of an emergency or disaster in our community, The City of Minneapolis and its Emergency Preparedness team will respond. The team will be led by the Emergency Preparedness Director who serves at the direction of the Mayor and coordinates all aspects of the Minneapolis’ Emergency Preparedness Plan. The Emergency Plan, which was originally developed for natural and man-made disasters, was strengthened to include emergency responses to potential terrorist acts using weapons of mass destruction. Emergency preparedness requires planning, training and exercising on a regular basis, and appropriate equipment, to ensure maximum readiness to respond to an actual incident.
